摘要：Z-scheme photocatalyst g-C3N4/RGO/WO3 with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as the electron mediator was synthesized via a facile photoreduction method. According the results of photoluminescence (PL), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and photocurrent response, g-C3N4/RGO/WO3 presents more efficient separation of charges and enhanced electronic mobility than g-C3N4/WO3, g-C3N4 and WO3, which benefits from the excellent electron transfer property of RGO. Reactive species trapping experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) test demonstrated that superoxide radical (center dot O-2(-) ) and hydroxyl radical (center dot OH) were produced because of the high redox capacities caused by the unique transfer behaviors of charges in Z-scheme photocatalyst g-C3N4/RGO/WO3. In the absence of RGO as electron mediator, only holes (h(+)) participates the degradation process of ciprofloxacin (CIP) due to the decreased redox capacities of g-C3N4/WO3 compared with g-C3N4/RGO/WO3. Therefore, the degradation rate of Ciprofloxacin (CIP) over g-C3N4/RGO/WO3 composite was nearly twice as much as that over gC(3)N(4)/WO3. In addition, the analysis of intermediates provides insight into the degradation pathway of CIP. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
