文摘

A Z-scheme g-C<sub>3sub>N<sub>4sub>/Ag/MoS<sub>2sub> ternary plasmonic photocatalyst in a flowerlike architecture of diameter about 0.4–0.6 μm is successfully synthesized by a reliable and effective method. The as-synthesized g-C<sub>3sub>N<sub>4sub>/Ag/MoS<sub>2sub> photocatalyst showed excellent improvement for visible-light absorption and separation efficiency of photoinduced electron–hole pairs. The g-C<sub>3sub>N<sub>4sub>/Ag/MoS<sub>2sub> system exhibits optimum visible-light-induced photocatalytic activity in degrading Rhodamin B (RhB), which is 9.43-fold and 3.56-fold of Ag/MoS<sub>2sub> and g-C<sub>3sub>N<sub>4sub>/MoS<sub>2sub> systems, and 8.78-fold and 2.08-fold in the production of hydrogen (H<sub>2sub>) out of water, respectively. The excellent photocatalytic activities are attributed to the synergetic effects of Ag, g-C<sub>3sub>N<sub>4sub>, and MoS<sub>2sub> nanophase structures in the g-C<sub>3sub>N<sub>4sub>/Ag/MoS<sub>2sub> composites, which result in a Z-scheme-mechanism-assisted fast separation and slow recombination of photoinduced electron–hole pairs and thereby higher photocatalytic activity.
