Bifunctional Ag/AgCl/α-Co (OH)2 Nanocomposite with Selective Adsorption and Photocatalytic Properties for Dyes Removal

Article Preview

Abstract:

Bifunctional Ag/AgCl/α-Co (OH)2 nanocomposite with selective adsorption and visible-light photocatalytic activities was prepared by a facile anion-exchange precipitation method via the reaction of α-Co (OH)2 and AgNO3, during which Cl anions in the interlayer of α-Co (OH)2 are consequently released and reacted with Ag ions to form AgCl on the surface of α-Co (OH)2 nanosheets. The prepared Ag/AgCl/α-Co (OH)2 nanocomposite was used to adsorb and photodegrade the organic dyes from water. Results indicated that the nanocomposite not only has highly selective adsorption ability but shows good visible-light photocatalytic abilities to organic dyes.
