The structure and morphology of the prepared samples were examined using various characterization techniques. During the synthetic process,[Omim]FeCl4 acted as the solvent, reactant, and capping agent simultaneously. Moreover, the porous FeVO4 nanorods as the heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like semiconductor catalyst for the degradation of tetracycline and rhodamine B under visible light irradiation exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity. This excellent photocatalytic activity of the porous FeVO4 nanorods can be attributed to the synergistic effect of their high electron-hole pair separation rate, suitable band gap structure, and large specific surface area. The possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism of FeVO4/H2O2 photocatalytic systems was also discussed in detail.展开更多

More severe pollution was found together with lower visibility. The average scattering and absorption coefficients（B sca and B abs） were 375.7 ± 209.5 and 41.6 ± 18.7 Mm^（-1）, respectively. Higher ？ngstr？m absorption and scattering exponents were attributed to the presence of more aged aerosol with smaller particles. Relative humidity（RH） was a key factor affecting aerosol extinction. High RH resulted in the impairment of visibility, with hygroscopic growth being independent of the dry extinction coefficient. The hygroscopic growth factor was 1.8 ± 1.2 with RH from 19% to 85%.Light absorption was enhanced by organic carbon（OC）, elemental carbon（EC） and EC coatings,with contributions of 26%, 44% and 75%（532 nm）, respectively. The B sca and B abs increased with increasing N_（100）（number concentration of PM_（2.5）with diameter above 100 nm）, PM_1 surface concentration and PM_（2.5）mass concentration with good correlation.展开更多

A total of 2,871,431 particles with both positive and negative spectra were collected and characterized in combination with the adaptive resonance theory neural network algorithm（ART-2a）. Eight types of particles were classified： dust particles（dust, 8.1%）, elemental carbon（EC, 29.0%）, organic carbon（OC, 18.0%）, EC and OC combined particles（ECOC, 9.5%）,Na-K containing particles（Na K, 7.9%）, K-containing particles（K, 21.8%）, organic nitrogen and potassium containing particles（KCN, 2.3%）, and metal-containing particles（metal,3.6%）. Three haze pollution events（P1, P2, P3） and one clean period（clean） were analyzed,based on the mass and number concentration of PM_（2.5）and the back trajectory results from the hybrid single particle Lagrangian integrated trajectory model（Hysplit-4 model）. Results showed that EC, OC and K were the major components of single particles during the three haze pollution periods, which showed clearly increased ratios compared with those in the clean period. Results from the mixing state of secondary species of different types of particles showed that sulfate and nitrate were more readily mixed with carbon-containing particles during haze pollution episodes than in clean periods.展开更多

Two pairs of Teflon（T1/T2） and Quartz（Q1/Q2） samples were obtained, for a total number of 1352 valid filters. Results showed elevated pollution in Beijing,with an annual mean PM_（2.5）mass concentration of 102 μg/m^3. According to the calculated PM_（2.5）mass concentration, 50% of our sampling days were acceptable（PM_（2.5）〈 75 μg/m^3）, 30% had slight/medium pollution（75–150 μg/m^3）, and 7% had severe pollution（〉 250 μg/m^3）. Sampling interruption occurred frequently for the Teflon filter group（75%） in severe pollution periods,resulting in important data being missing. Further analysis showed that high PM_（2.5）combined with high relative humidity（RH） gave rise to the interruptions. The seasonal variation of PM_（2.5）was presented, with higher monthly average mass concentrations in winter（peak value in February, 422 μg/m^3）, and lower in summer（7 μg/m^3 in June）. From May to August, the typical summer period, least severe pollution events were observed, with high precipitation levels accelerating the process of wet deposition to remove PM_（2.5）. The case of February presented the most serious pollution, with monthly averaged PM_（2.5）of 181 μg/m^3 and 32% of days with severe pollution. The abundance of PM_（2.5）in winter could be related to increased coal consumption for heating needs.展开更多

The valence band edge of WO3 located at 3V vs. normal hydrogen electrode（NHE）, which can offer enough potential to kinetically oxidize water for oxygen evolution reaction. However, water oxidation reaction kinetics is sluggish when only WO3 is used as the photoanode. It is highly desirable to use cocatalyst to promote the kinetics. Mn Oxloaded on the WO3 photoanode through photodeposition methods improves the photoelectrochemical water oxidation performance. A maximum photocurrent density of composite photoanode is achieved with a deposition time of 3 min, which is higher than that of pristine WO3 photoanode around 40%. Mn O2 is not only a cocatalyst for water splitting but also for improving oxidation selectivity. We tried to use two means to load Mn Oxon WO3 photoanode material. It is observed that loading a moderate amount of Mn Oxon the WO3 by photodeposition can promote the performance of the WO3 photoanode.展开更多

文摘Photoelectrocatalytic water splitting is an effective way to utilize the solar energy to solve the energy shortage. The valence band edge of WO3 located at 3V vs. normal hydrogen electrode（NHE）, which can offer enough potential to kinetically oxidize water for oxygen evolution reaction. However, water oxidation reaction kinetics is sluggish when only WO3 is used as the photoanode. It is highly desirable to use cocatalyst to promote the kinetics. Mn Oxloaded on the WO3 photoanode through photodeposition methods improves the photoelectrochemical water oxidation performance. A maximum photocurrent density of composite photoanode is achieved with a deposition time of 3 min, which is higher than that of pristine WO3 photoanode around 40%. Mn O2 is not only a cocatalyst for water splitting but also for improving oxidation selectivity. We tried to use two means to load Mn Oxon WO3 photoanode material. It is observed that loading a moderate amount of Mn Oxon the WO3 by photodeposition can promote the performance of the WO3 photoanode.
