Abstract


Novel g-C3N4/InVO4 materials were synthesized by a fabricated via hydrothermal and heating methods. The physicochemical properties of the photocatalysts were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR),  Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis-DRS) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The photocatalytic performances were evaluated by degradation of tetracycline (TC). The g-C3N4/InVO4 composite at a weight ratio of 10 % exhibited the most excellent photocatalytic activity for TC degradation under visible irradiation which was more active than that of pure components.
