ABSTRACT
Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma applied as surface treatment technology was employed for the modification of Ag2O and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) powders. Subsequently, the pretreated powders were sequentially loaded onto TiO2 nanorods (TiO2-NRs) via electro-deposition, followed by calcination at N2 atmosphere. The results indicated that at the optimal plasma discharge time of 5 min for modification of g-C3N4 and Ag2O, photocurrent density of ternary composite was 6 times to bare TiO2-NRs under UV-visible light irradiation. Phenol was degraded by using DBD plasma-modified g-C3N4/Ag2O/TiO2-NRs electrode to analyze the photoelectrocatalytic performance. The removal rate of phenol for g-C3N4-5/Ag2O-5/TiO2-NRs electrode was about 3.07 times to that for TiO2-NRs electrode. During active species scavengers' analysis, superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicals were the main oxidation active species for pollutants degradation. A possible electron-hole separation and transfer mechanism of ternary composite with high photoelectrocatalytic performance was proposed.
