Résumé
Antipyrine (ANT), as a widely used relieve headache, fever anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical in medical treatment, is difficult to be removed completely in water. The application of photocatalytic removal of ANT is restricted to UV light irradiation (<5% of solar energy), and the degradation pathways of ANT require more theoretical evidence. In this study, a series of three dimensions (3D) hierarchical structure multiwall carbon nanotubes/bismuth oxyiodide (MWCNTs/BiOI) photocatalysts were systematically designed and firstly applied to remove ANT through visible light (>43% of solar energy) induced photodegradation. Consequently, the as-prepared MWCNTs/BiOI photocatalysts presented superior photocatalytic activities on ANT degradation with respect to that of BiOI under 60 min visible light irradiation (100% vs 82.2%). Especially, the enhanced photocatalytic mechanism on ANT was analyzed by morphology, optical and photo-electrochemical properties. Results revealed that the designed 3D micro-mesoporous structure could promote the diffusion of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and the utilization of photoelectrons could be efficiently improved by MWCNTs (1.5 times). Furthermore, based on radicals scavenging experiments, the photogenerated hole (h
