However, the typical photocatalytic activity of unmodified BiVO4 for the degradation of organic pollutants is still not impressive. To address this limitation, we studied Fe2O3-modified porous BiVO4 nanoplates. Compared with unmodified BiVO4, the Fe2O3-modified porous Bi VO4 nanoplates showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activities in decomposing both dye and colorless pollutant models, such as rhodamine B(Rh B) and phenol,respectively. The pseudo-first-order reaction rate constants for the degradation of RhB and phenol on Fe2O3-modified BiVO4 porous nanoplates are 27 and 31 times larger than that of pristine Bi VO4, respectively. We also found that the Fe2O3 may act as an efficient non-precious metal co-catalyst, which is responsible for the excellent photocatalytic activity of Fe2O3/BiVO4.Graphical Abstract Fe2O3, as a cheap and efficient co-catalyst, could greatly enhance the photocatalytic activity of Bi VO4 porous nanoplates in decomposing organic pollutants.展开更多

In this work, Bi–Bi_2O_2CO_3 heterojunctions were fabricated by in-situ decoration of Bi nanoparticles on Bi_2O_2CO_3 nanosheets via a simple hydrothermal synthesis approach. X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and high-resolution TEM(HRTEM) were used to confirm the morphology of the nanosheet-like heterostructure of the Bi–Bi_2O_2CO_3 composite. Detailed ultrafast electronic spectroscopy reveals that the in-situ decoration of Bi nanoparticles on Bi_2O_2CO_3 nanosheets exhibit a dramatically enhanced electron-hole pair separation rate, which results in an extraordinarily high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of a model organic dye, methylene blue(MB) under visible light illumination. Cycling experiments revealed a good photochemical stability of the Bi–Bi_2O_2CO_3 heterojunction under repeated irradiation. Photocurrent measurements further indicated that the heterojunction incredibly enhanced the charge generation and suppressed the charge recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.展开更多

The phase structure, ingredient, morphologies, particle size and shell thickness of the products are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction(XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM). The feasibility of photocatylic degradation of Rhodamine B(Rh B) under illumination of UV-vis light is studied. The results show that the core-shell structure catalyst is composed of Fe-doped anatase TiO_2 and hollow glass microbeads, and the catalytic activity of the TiO_2 is markedly enhanced by Fe ion doping. The optimum concentration of Fe ion is 0.1%(molecular fraction) in the precursor and the photocatalytic activity can be increased to 98% compared with that of the undoped one. The presence of ferrum elements neither influences the transformation of anatase to rutile, nor creates new crystal phases. The possible mechanism of photocatalytic oxidation is also discussed.展开更多

The crystal structure, morphology, surface area and photocatalytic properties of the sample were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) and ultraviolet-visible(UV-vis) spectrum. The results of characterizations indicate that the products are identified as mesoporous zinc-blende ZnS nanospheres with an average diameter of 200 nm, which are comprised of nanoparticles with the crystallite size of about 3.2 nm calculated by XRD. Very importantly, photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue(MB) shows that the as-prepared Zn S nanospheres exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity with nearly 100% of MB decomposed after UV-light irradiation for 25 min. The excellent photocatalytic activity of ZnS nanospheres can be ascribed to the large specific surface area and hierarchical mesoporous structure.展开更多

The phase structure...Ag-TiO2 nanostructured thin films with silver volume fraction of 0–20% were deposited on silicon and quartz substrates by RF magnetron sputtering and annealed in ambient air at 950°C for 1 h. The phase structure and surface topography of the films were characterized by X-ray diffractometer and transmission electron microscope. Photocatalytic activity of the films was evaluated by light induced degradation of methyl orange (C14H14N3NaO3S) solution using a high pressure mercury lamp as lamp-house. The relation of photocatalytic activity and silver content was studied in detail. It was found that silver content influences phase structure of TiO2 thin films, and silver in the films is metallic Ag (Ag0). With increasing silver content from 0 to 20 vol%, photocatalytic activity of the films increases first and then decreases. A suitable amount (2.5–5 vol%) silver addition can significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 films. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was mainly attributed to the extension of visible light absorption region of the films, the presence of anatase phase, the increase of oxy-gen anion radicals O2? and reactive center of surface Ti3+, and the better separation between electrons and holes on the films surface.展开更多

The photocatalytic activities of Ce-Ti-lap were investigated by the degradation of methyl orange (MO). The results showed that Ce and Ti could be introduced to the interlayers of laponite, and the CeO2 modified TiO2 pillared structures could be formed with the basal spacing and the BET surface area of Ce-Ti-lap significantly increased. The Ce-Ti-lap showed the best photocatalytic activity in the degradation of MO compared with the pure TiO2, the laponite only pillared by TiO2 (Ti-lap) and the laponite only pillared by CeO2 (Ce-lap). Using the Ce-Ti-lap with the mass fraction of Ce/Ti (XCe) of 0.05, under the conditions of the initial concentration of MO 20 mg/L, irradiation time 120 min, pH value 4, photocatalyst dosage 1.5 g/L, the decoloring rate of MO achieved 96.3%, which decreased only 3.9% after being used 5 times, indicating that the Ce-Ti-lap had excellent photocatalytic activity and active stability.展开更多

The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange(MO) aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. The results indicate that the Cu_2O/TiO_2/Pt composite films are made up of three layers which are Pt layer,anatase-TiO_2 layer and Cu_2O layer from bottom to top. The surface of the films is even and composed of regular-shaped spherical particles. The photocatalytic activity of the Cu_2O/TiO_2/Pt three-layer film is much higher than that of the Cu_2O/TiO_2 double-layer film. Such enhancement is ascribed to the presence of Pt layer, which further inhibits the photogenerated electron-hole recombination, prolongs the lifetime of the photogenerated carriers, increases the quantum efficiency and hence improves the photocatalytic activity of the film effectively.展开更多

The X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and UV-vis absorption were used to characterize the prepared MoS_2/ZnO photocatalysts. It was proved that the combination of Mo S2 and Zn O can increase the content of oxygen vacancies on surface of Zn O, thus improving the light absorption capacity in visible light region and reducing the band gap of Zn O. And the photocatalytic performance of Zn O was improved. Experimental results show that the MoS_2/ZnO(3 wt%) compound has the highest degradation rate for methylene blue(MB) under visible light, which means that it has the best photocatalytic activity among all the prepared samples.展开更多

The influence of...Titania(TiO2) photocatalyst coatings have been fabricated by the low-cost approach of sulfuric-acid-bath pretreatment(SAP)followed soaked in sulfuric acid(SA) at room temperature then oxidated in air. The influence of the SAP and soaked conditions on the surface morphology and photocatalytic activity of TiO2 on Ti coatings was investigated. With different SAP conditions,the surface morphologies of the TiO2 on Ti coatings clearly show the formed porous-like structure. With higher SA concentration,the porous-like structure becomes obviously. With extending soaked time,the porous-like structure tends to disappear. Raman spectroscopy reveals that the formed TiO2 coatings are with mixed-phase of anatase and rutile. Compared with those of SA concentration and SAP time,the influence of the soaked time on the phase transformation is obvious. Notably,the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 on Ti coatings had been efficiently enhanced by extending the soaked time,compared with those of higher SA concentration and longer SAP time. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of TiO2 on Ti coatings could be related with the changed surface morphology,mixed-phase of anatase and rutile,and formed hydroxyl groups.展开更多

文摘Simultaneously adjusting the surface,crystallographic and electronic structures of nanomaterials provide a new avenue for rational design of advanced photocatalyst yet it is challenging.In this work,a surface and structural engineering strategy is developed to simultaneously realize the 2D amorphous structure and oxygen(O)-doping in graphitic carbon nitride(g–C_(3)N_(4))via the assistance of supercritical carbon dioxide(SCCO_(2)).The 2D O-doped amorphous g-C_(3)N_(4)nanosheets display greatly enhanced photocatalytic CO_(2)reduction and methylene blue degradation performances.The synthesis method as well as the mechanism of the enhanced photocatalytic activity was investigated,wherein the introduction of 2D amorphous structure and O dopant in the g-C_(3)N_(4)contributes to the increased surface area,abundant active sites,wider visible-light absorption range and efficient charge separation property,and thus the outstanding photocatalytic activities can be obtained.Its photocatalytic CH_(4)evolution rate and MB degradation rete are 5.1 and 7.0 times enhancement over bulk crystalline g-C_(3)N_(4),respectively.This work presents a great promising way for designing and developing advanced photocatalysts.

文摘The rare earth ion Yb^3+ doped Bi2WO6 photocatalysts were synthesized by hydrothermal method.Moreover,XRD,XPS,FESEM,TEM,Ramam,N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm measurements and UV-vis diffusion reflectance spectra were used to characterize the Yb^3+ doped Bi2WO6 photocatalysts.The morphology,specific surface area,and pore volume distribution were greatly affected after Yb3+ ions doping.Photocatalytic performance of Bi2WO6 was effectively enhanced after Yb3+ ions doping,6% Yb^3+ doped Bi2WO6 had the best photocatalytic performance,and 96.2% Rhodamine B was degradated after irradiated 30 min,which was 1.29 times that of the pristine one.The enhanced photocatalytic performance was due to the increased specific surface area,decreased energy band gap and inhibition of photoelectron-hole recombination after Yb3+ ions doping.

文摘Uniform and well-dispersed Zn S nanospheres have been successfully synthesized via a facile chemical route. The crystal structure, morphology, surface area and photocatalytic properties of the sample were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) and ultraviolet-visible(UV-vis) spectrum. The results of characterizations indicate that the products are identified as mesoporous zinc-blende ZnS nanospheres with an average diameter of 200 nm, which are comprised of nanoparticles with the crystallite size of about 3.2 nm calculated by XRD. Very importantly, photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue(MB) shows that the as-prepared Zn S nanospheres exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity with nearly 100% of MB decomposed after UV-light irradiation for 25 min. The excellent photocatalytic activity of ZnS nanospheres can be ascribed to the large specific surface area and hierarchical mesoporous structure.

文摘The S-scheme heterojunctions can effectively separate photogenerated electrons and holes,retain their high redox capacity,and provide great prospects for enhancing the photocatalytic activity of the composites in different fields.Herein,S-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic materials were rationally designed and prepared by a simple hydrothermal method between narrow-bandgap red phosphorus(HRP)and wide-bandgap BaTiO_(3)(BTO)photocatalysts.Owing to the effective charge separation and redox ability from the S-scheme mechanism and oxygen vacancies,BTO/HRP exhibited good photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic degradation ability.Systematic photoreaction tests demonstrated that BTO/HRP had high practicality in the removal of pollutants from wastewater;its photodegradation rate of Rhodamine B reached 3.029×10^(−1) min^(−1) in 12 min;and it could inactivate 1.8×10^(9) CFU/mL of Escherichia.coli in 1 h,with an antibacterial rate of 99.8%.This paper provided a promising photocatalyst for pollutant removal and a new strategy for the fabrication of efficient RP-based photocatalytic materials.

文摘The industrial application of nano-photocatalysts in wastewater treatment has been severely restricted for a long time due to their difficult separation,poor reusability,and low efficiency.In this work,a facile strategy was proposed to enhance the photocatalytic activity and recovery performance of Ag@AgCl nanocatalysts.Biological veins(Bio-veins)with a unique 3D porous construction were used as carriers for the in-situ growth of Ag@AgCl nanoparticles.Scanning electron microscopy results showed that the Ag@AgCl nanoparticles were uniformly loaded on the surface and interior of the Bio-veins,and the size of the Ag@AgCl nanoparticles immobilized on the Bio-veins(50–300 nm)was significantly smaller than Ag@AgCl obtained by the co-precipitation method(1–3μm).The Bio-veins played a vital role in the photocatalysis reaction system.The degradation efficiency of the Ag@AgCl/Bio-veins(CI4)was up to 3.50 times as high as pure Ag@AgCl.Furthermore,the composites also exhibited excellent recyclability and stability under both visible and solar light.This work provided a suitable strategy for nano-photocatalysts for practical application and may also offer new possibilities for the high-value utilization of biomass materials.

文摘BiFeO_(3)(BFO),as a kind of narrow band-gap semiconductor material,has gradually emerged advantages in the application of photocatalysis.In this paper,Ca doped BFO nanoparticles Bi_(0.9)Ca_(0.1)FeO_(3)(BCFO)were prepared by sol-gel method.And BCFO and CdS nanocomposites with two morphologies were obtained by controlling the time of loading CdS under a low temperature liquid phase process.It is found that the band gap becomes narrower after doping Ca into BFO,which is conducive to the absorption of visible light.Among all the samples,the composite of CdS nanowires and BCFO nanoparticles obtained by reaction time of 10 min has the best photocatalytic performance.The degradation rate of Methyl Orange solutionwas 94%after 90min under visible light irradiation,whichwasmuch higher than that of pure BCFO and CdS.Furthermore,significant enhancement in the degradation rate(100%degradation in 60 min)can be achieved in poled samples after electric polarization process.The highest degradation rate is due to the promoted separation of photogenerated carriers induced by the internal polarization field and the formation of S-scheme heterostructure between BCFO and CdS.Such BCFO-CdS nanocomposites may bring new insights into designing highly efficient photocatalyst.

文摘Superwetting materials have drawn unprecedented attention in the treatment of oily wastewater due to their preferable anti-fouling property and selective oil/water separation.However,it is still a challenge to fabricate multifunctional and environmentally friendly materials,which can be stably applied to purify the actual complicated wastewater.Here,a Ag/Ag/α-Fe_(2)O_(3) heterostructure anchored copper mesh was intentionally synthesized using a facile two-step hydrothermal method.The resultant mesh with superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity was capable of separating various oil/water mixtures with superior separation efficiency and high permeationflux driven by gravity.Benefiting from the joint effects of the smaller band gap of Ag/α-Fe_(2)O_(3) heterojunction,inherent antibacterial capacity of Ag/α-Fe_(2)O_(3) and Ag nanoparticles,favorable conductive substrate,as well as the hierarchical structure with superwettability,such mesh presented remarkably enhanced degradation capability toward organic dyes under visible light irradiation and antibacterial activity against both Escherichia coli(E.coli)and Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus)compared with the pure Ag/α-Fe_(2)O_(3) coated mesh.Impressively,the mesh exhibited bifunctional water purification performance,in which organic dyes were eliminated simultaneously from water during oil/water separation in onefiltration process.More importantly,this mesh behaved exceptional chemical resistance,mechanical stability and long-term reusability.Therefore,this material with multifunctional integration may hold promising potential for steady water purification in practice.

文摘Ag-TiO2 nanostructured thin films with silver volume fraction of 0–20% were deposited on silicon and quartz substrates by RF magnetron sputtering and annealed in ambient air at 950°C for 1 h. The phase structure and surface topography of the films were characterized by X-ray diffractometer and transmission electron microscope. Photocatalytic activity of the films was evaluated by light induced degradation of methyl orange (C14H14N3NaO3S) solution using a high pressure mercury lamp as lamp-house. The relation of photocatalytic activity and silver content was studied in detail. It was found that silver content influences phase structure of TiO2 thin films, and silver in the films is metallic Ag (Ag0). With increasing silver content from 0 to 20 vol%, photocatalytic activity of the films increases first and then decreases. A suitable amount (2.5–5 vol%) silver addition can significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 films. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was mainly attributed to the extension of visible light absorption region of the films, the presence of anatase phase, the increase of oxy-gen anion radicals O2? and reactive center of surface Ti3+, and the better separation between electrons and holes on the films surface.

文摘The laponite pillared by the CeO2 modified TiO2 (Ce-Ti-lap) were prepared by microwave intercalation reaction with laponite as the layered clay, tetrabutyl titanate and cerium chloride as the Ce-Ti composite pillaring agent, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brumauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area. The photocatalytic activities of Ce-Ti-lap were investigated by the degradation of methyl orange (MO). The results showed that Ce and Ti could be introduced to the interlayers of laponite, and the CeO2 modified TiO2 pillared structures could be formed with the basal spacing and the BET surface area of Ce-Ti-lap significantly increased. The Ce-Ti-lap showed the best photocatalytic activity in the degradation of MO compared with the pure TiO2, the laponite only pillared by TiO2 (Ti-lap) and the laponite only pillared by CeO2 (Ce-lap). Using the Ce-Ti-lap with the mass fraction of Ce/Ti (XCe) of 0.05, under the conditions of the initial concentration of MO 20 mg/L, irradiation time 120 min, pH value 4, photocatalyst dosage 1.5 g/L, the decoloring rate of MO achieved 96.3%, which decreased only 3.9% after being used 5 times, indicating that the Ce-Ti-lap had excellent photocatalytic activity and active stability.

文摘Cu_2O/TiO_2/Pt three-layer films were deposited on glass substrates using magnetron sputtering method.The surface morphology and the optical properties of the composite film were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), ultravioletvisible spectroscopy(UV-Vis) and photoluminescence spectroscopy(PL). The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange(MO) aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. The results indicate that the Cu_2O/TiO_2/Pt composite films are made up of three layers which are Pt layer,anatase-TiO_2 layer and Cu_2O layer from bottom to top. The surface of the films is even and composed of regular-shaped spherical particles. The photocatalytic activity of the Cu_2O/TiO_2/Pt three-layer film is much higher than that of the Cu_2O/TiO_2 double-layer film. Such enhancement is ascribed to the presence of Pt layer, which further inhibits the photogenerated electron-hole recombination, prolongs the lifetime of the photogenerated carriers, increases the quantum efficiency and hence improves the photocatalytic activity of the film effectively.

文摘In this work,15 types of rare earth(Re)ions,including Y^(3+),La^(3+),Ce^(3+),Pr^(3+),Nd^(3+),Sm^(3+),Eu^(3+),Gd^(3+),Tb^(3+),Dy^(3+),Ho^(3+),Er^(3+),Tm^(3+),Yb^(3+)and Lu^(3+)doped perovskite SrTiO_(3)powders were synthesized by solgel method.The influence of Re ions doping on the crystal structure,morphology and optical property as well as the photocatalytic activity for the photodegradation of rhodamine B(RhB)was investigated in detail when the synthesized Re ions doped SrTiO_(3)powders were served as catalysts.The presented results revealed that the crystal structure is invariable,whereas the morphology and the optical bandgap are variable for the resultant SrTiO_(3)powders when different Re ions were incorporated into the SrTiO_(3)lattice.The relatedness between the morphology,optical property and photocatalytic activity of the synthesized SrTiO_(3)catalysts doped with variable Re ions were analyzed deeply,providing an insight into the influence factors on the photocatalytic activity of catalysts.

文摘In this paper,sulfur doped g-C_(3)N_(4)(S-g-C_(3)N_(4))was successfully prepared at 500℃ for 3 h via a modified molten salt method using dicyandiamide as the main raw material,trithiocyanuric acid as the sulfur source and LiBreKCl as the reaction medium.The as-prepared SeCN5.0% sample(the mass ratio of trithiocyanuric acid to dicyandiamide was 5.0%)composed of irregular flakes showed a band gap of 1.83 eV,which was narrower than that(2.55 eV)of pristine g-C_(3)N_(4).The SeCN5.0% sample also exhibited an outstanding absorption capacity of visible light.Moreover,the photodegradation rate toward methylene blue and tetracycline were respectively 10 and 20 times as high as that of bulk g-C_(3)N_(4) prepared by conventional heating methods,confirming its superior photocatalytic performance.These results can be attributed to that the replacement of lattice nitrogen with sulfur atom tuned the electronic structure of g-C_(3)N_(4),improved the absorption of visible light,optimized the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs,and consequently enhanced the photocatalytic activity of g-C_(3)N_(4).Moreover,the trapping experiments implied that hole(ht)and superoxide radical($O2)were the main active species in the process of photodegradation.

文摘A series of MoS_2/ZnO compound photocatalysts with different mass ratios were successfully prepared by hydrothermal method. The X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and UV-vis absorption were used to characterize the prepared MoS_2/ZnO photocatalysts. It was proved that the combination of Mo S2 and Zn O can increase the content of oxygen vacancies on surface of Zn O, thus improving the light absorption capacity in visible light region and reducing the band gap of Zn O. And the photocatalytic performance of Zn O was improved. Experimental results show that the MoS_2/ZnO(3 wt%) compound has the highest degradation rate for methylene blue(MB) under visible light, which means that it has the best photocatalytic activity among all the prepared samples.
文摘Titania(TiO2) photocatalyst coatings have been fabricated by the low-cost approach of sulfuric-acid-bath pretreatment(SAP)followed soaked in sulfuric acid(SA) at room temperature then oxidated in air. The influence of the SAP and soaked conditions on the surface morphology and photocatalytic activity of TiO2 on Ti coatings was investigated. With different SAP conditions,the surface morphologies of the TiO2 on Ti coatings clearly show the formed porous-like structure. With higher SA concentration,the porous-like structure becomes obviously. With extending soaked time,the porous-like structure tends to disappear. Raman spectroscopy reveals that the formed TiO2 coatings are with mixed-phase of anatase and rutile. Compared with those of SA concentration and SAP time,the influence of the soaked time on the phase transformation is obvious. Notably,the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 on Ti coatings had been efficiently enhanced by extending the soaked time,compared with those of higher SA concentration and longer SAP time. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of TiO2 on Ti coatings could be related with the changed surface morphology,mixed-phase of anatase and rutile,and formed hydroxyl groups.

文摘Carbonized polymer dots(CPDs)modified layer-structured CdBiO_(2)Br(CPDs/CdBiO_(2)Br)Z-scheme heterojunction hybrid material has been synthesized via simple solvothermal method.The hybrid material with Z-scheme heterojunction can effectively maintain the original highly oxidizing holes of CdBiO_(2)Br and the highly reducing electrons of CPDs.In addition,the construction of heterostructure is beneficial to the migration and separation of photogenerated carriers.Under visible light irradiation,6 wt%CPDs/CdBiO_(2)Br showed the best catalytic activity for degradation of organic pollutants.Free radical capture experiments and ESR analysis confirmed that the main active species are·O_(2)^(-)and h^(+).The decomposition process of organic pollutants was analyzed by LC-MS.Finally,the probable visible light mechanism performance of CPDs/CdBiO_(2)Br as direct Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic materials was proposed.
