The present invention discloses an α-Fe2O3 / RGO / mpg-C3N4
nanocomposite material and its preparation method and application, belonging to the field of
materials science and technology. The mpg-C3N4 material is modified in terms of
morphology control, element
doping, and heterostructure construction, and a Z-type
heterojunction photocatalyst with a
solid electron mediator is synthesized based on the mpg-C3N4. By controlling the synthesis conditions, a large specific surface area, visible
light response, non-toxic and
environmentally friendly α-Fe2O3 / RGO / mpg-C3N4
nanocomposite material is prepared. This
nanocomposite material overcomes the inherent shortcomings of single semiconductors g-C3N4 and α-Fe2O3, such as small specific surface area, low
charge carrier separation efficiency, and limited visible light
absorption capacity. The structure and properties of the nanocomposite material are characterized by XPS, XRD, SEM, TEM, FT-IR, BET, UV-vis DRS, and
Zeta potential analysis, proving the successful preparation of the material. It was used to photocatalytically degrade the explosive 2,4,6-
trinitrotoluene. A series of exploratory experiments showed that under 12 hours of illumination, the
photodegradation rate of TNT by 10wt% α-Fe2O3 / RGO / mpg-C3N4 nanocomposite material can reach 99.57%, which is better than other materials and methods.
