摘要
Exploring novel visible light responsive photocatalysts is one of greatly significant issues from the viewpoint of using solar energy. Here we report the yellow-orange emitting α-Si 3 N 4 -doped Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce 3+ (Lu 3 Al 5-x Si x O 12-x N x :Ce 3+ ) phosphors as a noble-metal-free co-catalyst for enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity of ZnO. The results show that ZnO-Lu 3 Al 5-x Si x O 12-x N x :Ce 3+ hybrid photocatalysts using a fast microwave-assisted approach exhibits a 91% methylene blue (MB) degradation under visible light irradiation at 240 min, which evidence the synergistic effect of ZnO and Lu 3 Al 5-x Si x O 12-x N x :Ce 3+ that suppress the rate of charge recombination and increase the self-sensitized degradation of MB. ZnO-down conversion phosphors can be envisaged as potential candidate in environmental engineering and solar energy applications.
