Double activating peroxymonosulfate with g-CN/Fe(MoO) to enhance photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation
Fe 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 photocatalysts were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. Fe 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 photocatalysts showed lower photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation. After compositing with g-C 3 N 4 , the photocatalytic activity of Fe 2 (MoO 4 )...
