Abstract:BiVO4 and BiVO4/sepiolite were prepared by hydrothermal method, and Ag/BiVO4/sepiolite composite photocatalysts with different Ag loadings were prepared under the light using AgNO3 as a precursor reagent. XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS and DRS were used to characterize the photocatalysts. Using rhodamine B as a model pollutant, the effects of different Ag loadings on the performance of Ag/BiVO4/sepiolite composite photocatalysts were investigated. The results show that when the loading of Ag reaches 60%, the composite photocatalyst has the best decolorization effect on rhodamine B, and the rhodamine B can be completely decolorized within 10 minutes. At the same time, the 0.6Ag/BiVO4/sepiolite sample shows substantial recyclability and cycling stability.
