Acid red G aqueous solution and gaseous formaldehyde were chosen as model organic pollutants to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of the as-prepared composites. The results showed that the Ag2O-TiO 2/sepiolite exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity over pure Ag2O-TiO 2,TiO 2/sepiolite,and Ag2O/sepiolite under visible-light irradiation（λ 420 nm）. The excellent photocatalytic efficiency of these composites can be ascribed to the synergistic effect between the heterojunction and the porous structure of the clay layers,which induced high adsorption and efficient charge separation. In addition,the active species involved in the degradation reaction have been investigated by photoluminescence spectroscopy and quenching experiments. A possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism of acid red G dye by the Ag2O-TiO 2/sepiolite composite is also discussed.展开更多

The photocatalyst shows high photocatalytic activity of photodegrading acid red G. The effects of photocatalyst dosage and initial concentration of acid red G on the photodegradation process were studied. The kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of acid red G by KSr2Nb5O15 catalyst follows the first order reaction.展开更多
