Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of nanocomposite materials, and more particularly to iodine doped bismuthyl carbonate nanosheet and molybdenum disulfide modified carbon nanofiber composites, preparation method and application thereof.


TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

The treatment of water contamination remains a critical issue worldwide. Wastewater is mostly produced from the emission of organic pollutants (such as phenol, acid red, methylene blue, or RhB from printing, textiles, food, and factories) and seriously affects the environment and humanity. Therefore, the degradation of organic pollutants is imperative. Many traditional techniques and methods have been developed for the degradation of organic pollutants from wastewater such as adsorption, chemical oxidation and biodegradation. However, several disadvantages such as incompletely, secondary pollution etc. limit the industrial application of these methods. In the last few years, a photocatalytic strategy for the degradation of dye wastewater has attracted considerable attention. Bi-based semiconductors, such as Bi2WO6, BiVO4, and BiOX (X=Cl, Br, I), have been widely investigated. However, pure photocatalyst nanoparticles still cannot fully meet the requirements for practical application because of the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron—hole pairs, so that it is difficult to achieve catalytic degradation effect. The improvement of photocatalyst, such as construction of heterojunctions, surface modification of semiconductor photocatalysts and element doping, can enhance their photocatalytic activity.
