Abstract

The YMnO₃/TiO₂ composite photocatalysts with high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride have been synthesized successfully via a simple cryogenic route. The characterization of phase composition, purity and functional group information showed that YMnO₃ and TiO₂ were the main components of YMnO₃/TiO₂ composite photocatalysts. After the coupling of YMnO₃ and TiO₂, the average particle size decreased compared with YMnO₃, but increased compared with TiO₂. With the increase of YMnO₃ content, the ultraviolet–visible (UV) absorption coefficient of YMnO₃/TiO₂ composite photocatalysts decreases, while the visible optical absorption coefficient increases. The photocatalytic activity of YMnO₃/TiO₂ composite photocatalysts also increased with the increasing of YMnO₃ content. The capture experiment and photocatalysis mechanism analysis showed that the holes, hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals played an important role in the photocatalyst degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride under simulated solar irradiation by YMnO₃/TiO₂ composite photocatalysts. This simple synthesis technique will provide technical reference for the construction of other type I band arrangement heterojunction photocatalysts.
