Abstract

The photocatalytic reclamation of the environment requires improved catalysts, as severe charge recombination currently limits their practical application. This study describes a simple synthesis of SnO2−x/Sb2O3 composite by the mechanical milling method. The coupling of SnO2−x possessing oxygen vacancies (OVs) with Sb2O3 is a new approach for obtaining materials with outstanding photocatalytic properties. For the photo-oxidation of isopropanol (IPA) within 5 h, the acetone yield over SnO2−x/Sb2O3 composite with mass ratio of 1:4 was 22.67 and 10.5 times higher than those of SnO2−x and Sb2O3, respectively, and the carbon dioxide output was 13.29 and 7.46 times higher than those of SnO2−x and Sb2O3, respectively. This results showed that the OVs-induced SnO2−x/Sb2O3 heterostructures have a very high IPA photo-oxidation catalytic degradation activity, even after six cycles with no obvious decline. Combination of defect engineering and heterojunction can be a powerful tool for obtaining broad light absorption and high photo-induced charge separation efficiency, which contributes to improving the photocatalytic IPA degradation property.
