PG - 257-266 LID - S0045-6535(18)31267-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2018.07.010 [doi] AB - A set of binary composites alpha-Fe(2)O(3)/Bi(12)O(17)Cl(2) were established through an in-situ deposition route and these samples were systematically characterized by a collection of analytical techniques. Scanning electron microscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy proved the coexistence of expected two components. High resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected-area electron diffraction indicated the formation of heterojunction domains with the intimate contact of both semiconductors. The degradation behavior of as-synthesized samples was evaluated under visible-light irradiation and the enhanced outcome was observed over dye methyl orange (MO) and colorless 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), mainly attributing to favorable optical and morphological merits, and a suitable well-aligned band structure in these binary composites with a suitable phase composition as well. In addition, these composites showed an obvious photo-Fenton feature that significantly improved the catalytic degradation efficiency over 2,4-DCP when the reagent H(2)O(2) was introduced, indicating the destruction efficiency was controlled by a synergtic effect from both photocatalytic and photo-Fenton degradation routes. Based upon the detection of reactive radical species, a primary synergistic mechanism was eventually speculated. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
