مستخلص: g-C3N4/BiVO4, binary component heterojunction materials, were successfully synthesized for novel photocatalytic tetracycline (TC) decomposition. In the prepared binary component heterojunction, BiVO4 was well distributed on g-C3N4 layer. In addition, BiVO4 and g-C3N4 was intimately contacted. Both BiVO4 and g-C3N4, which band gap energies were approximately 2.46 and 2.71 eV, respectively, would also absorb significant amount of visible light to excite electrons (e) from their valence bands to conduction bands. Thus, the e on the conduction band of the BiVO4 could quickly transfer and combine with the h+ on the valence band of the g-C3N4. Therefore, the g-C3N4/BiVO4 could be easily excited by incident visible irradiation to produce large number of h+ on the valence band of the BiVO4 and e on the conduction band of the g-C3N4. These produced e and h+ were strong enough for reactions with water and oxygen to product huge amounts of hydroxyl radicals for novel TC degradation. The photocatalytic performance of these g-C3N4/BiVO4 materials highly depended on weight ratio of these used precursors. The g-C3N4/BiVO4-10 material, which the g-C3N4:BiVO4 weight ratio was 10%, presented the highest tetracycline degradation efficiency (95%). This was due to these excess of g-C3N4 covered more BiVO4 surface preventing incident light reaching to the material and also represented as active sites for recombination of charges (e and h+) decreasing photocatalytic efficiency of the system. Finally, the synthesized g-C3N4/BiVO4 presented novel durability during long-term photocatalysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
