TI  - Construction of direct FeMoO(4)/g-C(3)N(4)-2D/2D Z-scheme heterojunction with 
      enhanced photocatalytic treatment of textile wastewater to eliminate the toxic

AB  - A novel FeMoO(4)/g-C(3)N(4)-2D/2D Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was 
      prepared via wet chemical method. The observed structural morphology of 
      FeMoO(4)/g-C(3)N(4) reveals the 2D-iron molybdate (FeMoO(4)) nanoplates compiled 
      with the 2D-graphitic carbon nitride (g-C(3)N(4)) nanosheets like structure. The 
      photocatalytic activity of the g-C(3)N(4), FeMoO(4), and FeMoO(4)/g-C(3)N(4) 
      composites were studied via the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) as targeted 
      textile dye under visible light irradiation (VLI). The optimal 
      FeMoO(4)/g-C(3)N(4) (1:3 ratio of g-C(3)N(4) and FeMoO(4)) composite show an 
      enhanced degradation performance with rate constant value of 0.02226 min(-1) and 
      good stability even after three cycles. Thus, the h+ and O(2)(*－)are the key 
      radicals in the degradation of RhB under VLI. It is proposed that the 
      FeMoO(4)/g-C(3)N(4) Z-scheme heterojunction effectively enhances the transfer and 
      separation ability of e(-)/h(+) pairs, by the way increasing the photocatalytic 
      efficiency towards the RhB degradation. Thus, the newly constructed Z-scheme 
      FeMoO(4)/g-C(3)N(4) heterojunction photocatalyst is a promising material for the 
      remediation of wastewater relevant to elimination of toxic effect in marine 
      environment.
