Abstract Vacancy defect plays an important role in the research of photocatalysis. In this work, vacancy samples Li2Sn1-xO3(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) were prepared by solid state method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Tetracycline(TC) was applied as a target pollutant to evaluate the photocatalytic performance. The results show that Li2Sn1-xO3(x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) exhibit an excellent photocatalytic degradation, compared with parent Li2SnO3, and with the increase content of Sn vacancies, the photocatalytic efficiency firstly increased and then decreased. Electronic structure calculations and diffuse reflectance optical spectroscopy suggest that the enhanced photocatalytic performance might originate from lowered the valence band maximum caused by Sn vacancy, which enhances the photocatalytic oxidative capability. Among them, the defect sample Li2Sn0.7O3 embraces the best photocatalytic performance. The photodegradation efficiency could reach approximately 71% within 50 min under UV irradiation. Besides, the photocatalytic behavior was successfully described by a pseudo first-order kinetics model, and the obtained rate constant was 0.026 83 min-1. Further, free radical capture experiments indicated that photo-excited holes are the dominate radicals in the degradation of TC solution. Finally, the efficiency of photocatalytic performance slightly decreased after 2 cycling runs.
