The invention belongs to the technical field of
photocatalysis, and particularly relates to a BiOCl / UiO-66 (Zr / Ce)
heterojunction photocatalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof. According to the invention, UiO-66 (Zr) is taken as a matrix, a new
metal node Ce is introduced, and
electron transfer among different metals is utilized, so that the
band gap of a single BiOCl material is effectively reduced, and the
charge separation efficiency is improved. BiOCl is constructed on UiO-66 (Zr / Ce) to form a
heterojunction, and the interface property of the BiOCl / UiO-66 (Zr / Ce)
heterojunction is regulated and controlled through the doped
metal Ce, so that the interface
electric field of the BiOCl / UiO-66 (Zr / Ce) heterojunction is enhanced, effective separation of
photon-generated carriers is promoted under the action of the
electric field, enough active sites and
electron transport performance are provided, and the photocatalytic efficiency of the BiOCl / UiO-66 (Zr / Ce) heterojunction is further improved.
