Problems solved by technology

[0002] Metal tungstates have been widely used in many fields due to their unique electrical and optical properties, among which transition metal tungstates (CoWO 4 ) has stable chemical properties, and has a higher conduction band position than other transition metal tungstates with visible light response, and has the ability to generate superoxide radicals, so it has become the focus of attention in the field of photocatalysis; the existing CoWO 4 The catalytic activity of transition metal tungstate catalysts is still very low, and electron-hole pair recombination is serious, which cannot meet the needs of practical applications. Therefore, it is still a challenge to improve the separation efficiency of electrons and holes to improve the catalytic activity of this type of photocatalyst. Challenging subjects
[0003] Due to the special energy band structure and carrier transport characteristics of the heterojunction, it can effectively inhibit the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes in the photocatalytic reaction, improve the quantum efficiency, and then greatly improve the catalytic activity of the photocatalyst. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) With the characteristics of narrow energy band and high conduction band position, it is an ideal semiconductor photocatalyst for constructing heterostructures. At present, there is no information about the heterojunction between cobalt tungstate and cadmium sulfide and its application in photocatalysis Research on Degradation of Organic Pollutants
