description | [Image: see text] In this work, a series of heterostructure Ag@Ag(3)PO(4)/g-C(3)N(4)/NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposites were prepared by a combination of an electrostatic self-assembly and in situ photoreduction method. In this method, positively charged p-type Ag(3)PO(4) was electrostatically bonded to the self-assembled negatively charged surface of the n–n-type g-C(3)N(4)/NiFe (CNLDH) LDH hybrid material with partial reduction of Ag(+) to metallic Ag nanoparticles (NPs) by the photogenerated electrons and available surface −OH groups of LDH under visible light irradiation. The presence of Ag(3)PO(4) as a p-type semiconductor, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of metallic Ag NPs, and oxygen vacancies as O(v)-type defects in NiFe LDH could greatly achieve the quasi-type-II p–n/n–n dual heterojunctions, which was revealed by the shifted conduction band and valence band potentials in Mott–Schottky (M–S) analysis. Among all the optimized heterostructures, CNLDHAgP4 could achieve the highest photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction rate of 97% and phenol oxidation rate of 90% in 2 h. The heterostructure CNLDHAgP4 photocatalyst possesses a unique morphology consisting of cubic phases of both Ag NPs and Ag(3)PO(4), which adhered to the thin and curvy layers of the CNLDH hybrid for smooth electronic and ionic charge transport. Furthermore, the intimate Schottky barriers formed at the interface of quasi-type-II p–n/n–n dual heterojunctions were verified by the photoluminescence, linear sweep voltammetry, M–S, electrochemical impedance study, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies. The SPR effect of Ag NPs and oxygen vacancies as O(v)-type defect in NiFe LDH can effectively accelerate the threshold of charge separation and be the main reason for the enhanced activity achieved by the as-fabricated heterostructure photocatalyst. |
