Microcystisaeruginosais one of the most famous harmful algae. In this work,Z-scheme g-C3N4-MoO3(Mo-CN) composite photocatalysts were successfully synthesized to alleviate the algae pollution. The obtained composites exhibited excellent performance for the inactivation ofM. aeruginosa. The optimal photocatalysts (15Mo-CN) achieved a removal efficiency of 97% for the algal cells after 3 h visible light irradiation, which was attributed to their remarkable surface properties and ingenious structure design. The physiological status ofMicrocystis aeruginosawere evaluated by the chlorophylla(chla), relative electron transport rate (rETR) and maximum photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm), and all of them decreased in different degrees. Furthermore, the as-prepared photocatalysts also show a certain activity for the removal of leaked macromolecule organic compounds during the process of algal cells inactivation. Finally, a possible mechanism on the photocatalytic inactivation of algal cells by theZ-scheme photocatalysts was deduced based on the experimental and characterization results. We believe this study would provide new insights into the development of promising technology and basic theory for remediation of algae pollution.
