PG - 121098 LID - S0304-3894(19)31052-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.121098 [doi] AB - We have rationally designed and fabricated of "face-to-face" 3D/2D In(2)O(3) nanocube/ZnIn(2)S(4) nanosheet heterojunction by growing ZnIn(2)S(4) nanosheets on the surfaces of In(2)O(3) cubes as photocatalysts for 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) degradation under visible light. Herein, the unique 3D/2D In(2)O(3) nanocube/ZnIn(2)S(4) nanosheet hierarchical structure not only exposes far more abundant heterojunction interface active sites compared to 3D/0D In(2)O(3) nanocube/ZnIn(2)S(4) nanoparticle, but also produces numbers of compact high-speed nanochannels in the junctions, which significantly promotes the separation and migration of photogenerated carriers. Profiting by structural and compositional advantages, the optimized 3D/2D ZnIn(2)S(4)-In(2)O(3) photocatalyst shows excellent photocatalytic activity and stability in the degradation of 2,4-DCP, which is 1.85, 2.60, 3.02 and 3.54-fold higher than that of 3D/0D ZnIn(2)S(4)-In(2)O(3), ZnIn(2)S(4) nanosheet, ZnIn(2)S(4) nanoparticle and In(2)O(3), respectively. Meanwhile, the main active species (.O(2)(-), .OH and h(+)) produced in the photodegradation process were determined and the intermediates and degradation mechanism were studied in detail. Besides, the application on the removal of 2,4-DCP in natural water and actual wastewaters by 3D/2D ZnIn(2)S(4)-In(2)O(3) also have been studied. This work provides a new strategy for efficiently optimize the advantages of binary nano-architectures to effectively degrade phenolic pollutants in the environment.
