Abstract

A highly active and stable visible light photocatalyst of composite ZnNiAl-LDH/Cu₂O was successfully prepared by using co-precipitation method to depositing two-dimensional layered ZnNiAl-ZnNiAl-LDH on Cu₂O particles. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared composite catalyst was evaluated by the degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light. It is found that the developed ZnNiAl-LDH/Cu₂O exhibited higher activity than the pure Cu₂O, while the ZnNiAl-LDH/Cu₂O photocatalyst doped with 7% of ZnNiAl-LDH exhibited the highest photodegradation activity, by which 89.6% of TC was decomposed within 50 minutes. The ZnNiAl-LDH/Cu₂O photocatalyst present considerably high photocatalytic degradation activities on TC. The high photodegradation efficiency of 7%ZnNiAl-LDH/Cu₂O could be ascribed to the efficient interfacial charge transfer at the composite and the synergistic effect between Cu₂O and ZnNiAl-LDH, which resulted in the enhanced separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.

Key words: inorganic non-metallic materials precipitation method cuprous oxide ZnNiAl-LDH tetracycline photodegradation property
