Abstract
In order to enhance hole/electron separation and charge transfer in photocatalysts, the heterostructured g-C3N4/CoAPO-5 hybrids materials were synthesized via a simple grinding method and were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optical properties of g-C3N4/CoAPO-5 hybrids materials were measured by ultraviolet-visible diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoluminescence (PL) spectra and ultraviolet-visible absorption (UV-Vis) spectra. Under visible-light illumination, this work shows the heterogeneous g-C3N4/CoAPO-5 hybrids present a superior photocatalytic activity.
