The invention discloses a CeO2 / ZnMn2O4Z type
heterojunction photocatalyst as well as a preparation method and application of the CeO2 / ZnMn2O4Z type
heterojunction photocatalyst. The CeO2 / ZnMn2O4 Z type
heterojunction photocatalyst is prepared from CeO2 and ZnMn2O4, wherein the
mass ratio of the CeO2 to the ZnMn2O4 is (0.25 to 1) to 1. The CeO2 / ZnMn2O4Z type heterojunction photocatalyst is prepared by the following two steps: firstly, preparing long-strip-shaped ZnMn2O4 by adopting a
coprecipitation-
calcination method, then adding a cerous
nitrate solution to uniformly disperse the long-strip-shaped ZnMn2O4, obtaining a precipitate mixture under the
precipitation action of
ammonia water, and finally performing
pyrolysis to obtain the CeO2 / ZnMn2O4Z type heterojunction photocatalyst. The catalyst is provided with a Z-type heterojunction, separation of
photon-generated carriers is promoted, the recombination process of the
photon-generated carriers is effectively inhibited, and the catalyst has high
photocatalytic degradation efficiency and reaction stability on
tannic acid under simulated
sunlight illumination.
