A novel visible-light-responsive photocatalyst is fabricated by introducing g-C3N4 .ultrathin films onto the surface of attapulgite (ATP) via a simple in-situ depositing technique, in .which ATP was pre-grafted using (3-Glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (KH560) as the surfactant. .A combination of XRD, FT-IR, BET, XPS, UV-vis, TEM and SEM techniques are utilized to .characterize the composition, morphology and optical properties of the products. The results show .that with the help of KH560, g-C3N4 presented as ultrathin layer is uniformly loaded onto the surface .of ATP by forming a new chemical bond (Si-O-C). Comparing with g-C3N4 and ATP, ATP/g-C3N4 .exhibits remarkably enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity in degradation of methyl orange .(MO) because of its high surface area, appropriate band gap and the synergistic effect between .g-C3N4 and ATP. To achieve the best photocatalyst, the ratio of g-C3N4 was adjusted by controlling .the mass portion between ATP-KH560 and melamine (r = m (ATP-KH560) /m (melamine)). The .highest decomposition rate of methyl orange (MO) was 96.06% when r = 0.5 and this degradation .efficiency remained unchanged after 4 cycles, which is 10 times as that of pure g-C3N4 particles. .Possible photocatalytic mechanism is presented.
