| Abstract | Black TiO2 with abundant oxygen vacancies (OVs)/B-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) Z-scheme heterojunction nanocomposites are successfully prepared by the one-pot strategy. The OVs can improve not only photogenerated carrier separation, but also the sorption and activation of antibiotic compounds (tetracycline hydrochloride, TC). The prepared heterojunction photocatalysts with a narrow bandgap of ∼2.13 eV exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (65%) under visible light irradiation within 30 min, which is several times higher than that of the pristine one. The outstanding photocatalytic property can be ascribed to abundant OVs and B element-dope reducing the bandgap and extending the photo-response to the visible light region, the Z-scheme formation of heterojunctions preventing the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, and promoting their effective separation. |
