Abstract Photocatalysis technology has potential application in the field of energy and environment. How to expand visible light utilization and promote the separation efficiency of the carriers are the key issues for the high active photocatalysts preparation and future practical applications. In this work, a ternary metal sulfide Nb0.9Ta0.1S2 was prepared and used as an electron collector in the photocatalytic application. As a result, the generated electrons are quickly transferred to the surface of the composite to participate in the reaction. It was demonstrated that the photocatalytic activity of 2D-C3N4 was enhanced after the modification of Nb0.9Ta0.1S2. The Nb0.9Ta0.1S2/2D-C3N4 composite material was synthesized by solvothermal method. The composition of 5% Nb0.9Ta0.1S2/2D-C3N4 showed the highest H2 evolution rate of 1961.6 μmolg−1h−1, which was 6.6 times that of 2D-C3N4. The 15% Nb0.9Ta0.1S2/2D-C3N4 exhibited the best activity in Rhodamine B degradation rate of 97% in 2 h, which is 50% higher than that of 2D-C3N4. Nb0.9Ta0.1S2/2D-C3N4 can be used as electron trap to promote the effective separation of electron–hole pairs. This work provides benchmarks in exploring low-cost and efficient cocatalyst.

In the present work, the degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) and its mineralization by a UV/Vis-based persulphate activation process was investigated. Firstly, a screening of processes as direct photolysis, persulphate alone and persulphate activated by radiation was performed. The incidence of radiation demonstrated to have an important role in the oxidant activation, allowing to achieve the highest PNP and total organic carbon (TOC) removals. The maximum PNP oxidation (100%) and mineralization (61.6%)—both after 2 h of reaction time—were reached when using T = 70 °C, (S2O82−) = 6.4 g/L and I = 500 W/m2. The influence of radiation type (ultraviolet/visible, visible or simulated solar light) was also evaluated, being found that the source with the highest emission of ultraviolet radiation (UV/visible) allowed to achieve the best oxidation efficiency; however, solar radiation also reached very-good performance. According to quenching experiments, the sulphate radical is key in the activated persulphate oxidation process, but the hydroxyl radical also plays an important role.
