    Abstract:

    Monolayer tungsten trioxide nanosheets (ML-WO3) were prepared via the space-confined strategy and then compounded with TiO2 to obtain ML-WO3/TiO2 nanomaterials, which were used for the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B under simulated solar light. The compositional structure and optical features of ML-WO3/TiO2 were characterized by means of SEM, TEM, HRTEM, XRD, UV-Vis and PL. The results showed that the ML-WO3/TiO2 overcame the defect of large band gap of pure TiO2 and exhibited stronger absorption performance than ML-WO3 and TiO2 in the full wavelength solar light, and there was a remarkable synergistic relationship between ML-WO3 and TiO2. The active species capture experiments showed that .OH and .O2- free radicals were the main active species for RhB degradation. The Z-scheme heterojunction charge transfer pathway constructed between ML-WO3 and TiO2 can ensure efficient separation and recombination of photogenerated carriers. The photocatalytic activity of the ML-WO3/TiO2 composites could still approach 80% after 5 cycles of experiments, with good photochemical stability. The possible degradation pathway of RhB was speculated by the detection of RhB intermediates by HPLC-MS.
