PG - 181-190 LID - S0304-3894(17)30712-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2017.09.031 [doi] AB - 3D mesoporous black TiO(2-x)/Ag nanosphere coupled with 2D g-C(3)N(4) sheet ternary heterojunctions are successfully fabricated through a facile evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) process and photodeposition method, followed by a mild calcination (350 degrees C) under an argon atmosphere after an in situ solid-state chemical reduction strategy. The resultant mesoporous black TiO(2-x)/Ag/g-C(3)N(4) ternary heterojunctions with narrow band gap of approximately 2.27eV possess a relative high specific surface area of approximately 100m(2)g(-1), main pore size of 6.2nm and the highest visible-light-driven photocatalytic property for degradation of methyl orange (97%) and methylene blue (99%). The apparent reaction rate constants (k) of mesoporous black TiO(2-x)/Ag/g-C(3)N(4) for methyl orange and methylene blue are approximately 9 and 11 times higher than that of pristine TiO(2). The possible mechanism is proposed, and the excellent photocatalytic property can be ascribed to the introduction of Ti(3+) self-doping and g-C(3)N(4), which favor the visible light absorption and the separation of electron-hole pairs, the surface plasma resonance effect of Ag nanoparticle, and the mesoporous networks offer more surface active sites.
