Abstract:
:At present, sustainable water supply and energy generation are the most important challenges faced by humankind globally. Thus, it is crucial to progress ecological techniques for sustainable removal of organic pollutants from wastewater and generation of hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels. In this study, zinc tungsten oxide (ZnWO4) nanorods, bismuth tungsten oxide (Bi2WO6) nanoflakes, and Bi2WO6/ZnWO4 (BO-ZO) nanocomposites were prepared via a simple hydrothermal approach. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and electrochemical analyses were conducted to confirm the formation of the BO-ZO heterostructure. The structural and morphological analyses revealed that the ZnWO4 nanorods were moderately dispersed on the Bi2WO6 nanoflakes. The bandgap tuning of BO-ZO nanocomposite confirmed the establishment of the heterostructure with band bending properties. The BO-ZO nanocomposite could degrade 99.52% of methylene blue (MB) within 60 min upon solar-light illumination. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) measurement results showed that the BO-ZO nanocomposite showed low charge-transfer resistance and high photocurrent response with good stability. The BO-ZO photoanode showed a low charge-transfer resistance of 35.33 Ω and high photocurrent density of 0.1779 mA/cm2 in comparison with Ag/AgCl in a 0.1 M Na2SO3 electrolyte under solar-light illumination. The MB photocatalytic degradation and PEC water oxidation mechanisms of the nanocomposite were investigated.
