The dual defect mediated Z-scheme MoS2/g-C3N4photocatalyst was fabricated via a simple ultrasonic dispersion and annealing method. The structural, optical and electronic property was systematically characterized. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis demonstrated that the MoS2was anchored on the g-C3N4through strong interface electrostatic interaction, which led to the formation of built-in electric field at the contact interface. The optimized MoS2/g-C3N4heterojunction achieved a superior photoefficiency towards bisphenol A (BPA) degradation and exhibited the reaction rate normalized to specific surface area of 3.22 × 10−4g·min−1m−2, approximately 10.0 and 6.7 times larger than these of g-C3N4and MoS2, respectively. The origin of the enhanced photocatalytic activity of MoS2/g-C3N4was attributed to the formation of intimate Z-scheme surface heterostructure between MoS2and g-C3N4, thus improved the light-harvesting ability, facilitated fast charge separation and created more active sites. The impact of anionic towards degradation efficiency was investigated. The degradation activity and degree of BPA were investigated by three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D EEM) fluorescence technique. The Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism and the significant contribution of holes (h+) and superoxide radicals (radical dotO2−) were demonstrated by electron spinning resonance (EPR), radical scavenger experiment and spectral quantification technology. This work could offer a new protocol for the design of highly efficient heterostructure photocatalysts towards environmental remediation.
