Establishing a heterojunction for two kinds of semiconductor catalysts is a promising way to enhance photocatalytic activity. In this study, nanodiamond (ND) and CuFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) were hybridized by a simple coprecipitation method as a novel heterojunction to photoactivate H2O2. The ND/LDH possessed a hydrotalcite-like structure, large specific surface area (S-BET = 99.16 m(2)/g), strong absorption of visible-light and low band gap (E-g = 0.94 eV). Under the conditions of ND/LDH dosage 0.0667 g/L, H2O2 concentration 19.6 mmol/L, and without initial pH adjustment, 93.5% of 10 mg/L methylene blue (MB) was degraded within 120 min, while only 78.3% of MB was degraded in the presence of LDH instead of ND/LDH. The ND/LDH exhibited excellent stability and maintained relatively high activity, sufficient to photoactivate H2O2 even after five recycles. The mechanism study revealed that in the heterojunction of ND/LDH, the photoelectrons transferred from the valence band of LDH (Cu/Fe 3d t(2g)) to the conduction band of LDH (Cu/Fe 3d e(g)) could spontaneously migrate onto the conduction band of ND, promoting the separation of photo-induced charges. Thus, the photoelectrons had sufficient time to accelerate the redox cycles of Cu3+/Cu2+ and Fe3+/Fe2+ to photoactivate H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radicals, resulting in excellent photo-Fenton efficiency on MB degradation.
