Visible-light-induced photocatalytic performances of ZnO-CuO nanocomposites for degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol

Nanostructured ZnO and CuO, and coupled oxides, i.e., ZnCu, Zn2Cu, and ZnCu2, with ZnO:CuO molar ratios of 1:1, 2:1, and 1:2, respectively, were successfully prepared through a simple, one-step, mi-crowave-assisted urea–nitrate combustion synthesis, without the use of organic solvents or surfac-tants. The prepared samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spec-troscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and photo-luminescence spectroscopy. The optical absorption of ZnO extended into the visible region after CuO loading. The photocatalytic activities of ZnO, CuO, and the coupled oxides were evaluated based on photodegradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol under visible-light irradiation. The coupled metal oxide Zn2Cu showed the best photocatalytic activity;this was mainly attributed to the extended photore-sponsive range and the increased charge separation rate in the nanocomposite. The photocatalytic degradation process obeyed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The results suggest that the coupled metal oxide Zn2Cu has potential applications as an efficient catalytic material with high efficiency and recyclability for the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in aqueous solution under visible-light irradiation.

紫外光照射下 Fe-碳纳米管/TiO2 复合材料降解罗丹明 B

 The composites comprising Fe-carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on TiO2 were prepared by a modified sol-gel method and characterized by nitrogen adsorption, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The photocatalytic decomposition of rhodamine B (Rh.B) under UV irradiation and air aeration catalyzed by the composites was measured. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles was significantly enhanced by the large CNT network that facilitated electron transfer between adsorbed Rh.B molecules and the catalyst substrate and the simultaneous occurrence of the photo-Fenton reaction in the presence of Fe particles. A marked acceleration of the decomposition rate was observed with aeration by flowing air aeration due to the formation of the circulatory photo-Fenton system. Chemical oxygen demand of piggery waste was measured at regular intervals to evaluate the mineralization of wastewater.     

CoS2-碳(C60,石墨,碳纳米管)/TiO2复合光敏剂光降解有机染料（英文）

CoS2,CoS 2-C60 /TiO2,CoS2-CNT/TiO2,and CoS2-Graphene/TiO2 were prepared.The TiO2 products had the anatase phase structure and interesting surface compositions.X-ray diffraction patterns of the CoS2-carbon/TiO2 composites showed a single and clear anatase phase and the CoS2 structure.Scanning electron microscopy characterization of the texture on the CoS 2-carbon/TiO2 composites showed a homogenous composition.Energy-dispersive X-ray spectra for elemental identification showed the presence of C and Ti with strong Co and S peaks from the CoS2-carbon/TiO2 composites.The composites obtained were also characterized by transmission electron microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy.CoS2-carbon/TiO2 composites showed excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation.This was attributed to both photocatalysis on the TiO2 support and charge transfer by the carbon nanomaterial,and the introduction of CoS2 to enhance transfer of photogenerated electrons.     

超声辅助法合成的石墨烯-TiO2复合材料声催化降解罗丹明B（英文）

A series of graphene-TiO2 composites was fabricated from graphene oxide and titanium n-butoxide(TNB) by an ultrasonic-assisted method.The structure and composition of the nanocomposites were characterized by Raman spectroscopy,BET surface area measurements,X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy.The average size of the TiO2 nanoparticles on the graphene nanosheets was controlled at around 10-15 nm without using surfactant,which is attributed to the pyrolysis and condensation of dissolved TNB into TiO2 by ultrasonic irradiation.The catalytic activity of the composites under ultrasonic irradiation was determined using a rhodamine B(RhB) solution.The graphene-TiO2 composites possessed a high specific surface area,which increased the decolorization rate for RhB solution.This is because the graphene and TiO2 nanoparticles in the composites interact strongly,which enhances the photoelectric conversion of TiO2 by reducing the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.

A novel core–shell TiO2@ZnIn2S4composite has been synthesized successfully by a simple and flexible hydrothermal route using TiO2as precursors.The as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction,UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra and transmission electron microscopy.The photocatalytic properties of samples were tested by degradation of aqueous methylene blue（MB）under visible light irradiation.It was found that the as-synthesized TiO2@ZnIn2S4photocatalyst was more effcient than TiO2and ZnIn2S4in the photocatalytic degradation of MB.Moreover,TEM images confrmed the TiO2@ZnIn2S4nanoparticles possessed a well-proportioned core–shell morphology.     

Preparation,characterization and photocatalytic properties of BiOBr/ZnO composites

BiOBr/ZnO composite photocatalysts were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM), UV–Vis diffusion reflectance spectroscopy(DRS) and photoluminescence(PL) spectroscopy, respectively. The photocatalytic activities were evaluated by the degradation of methyl blue(MB) under the simulated sunlight irradiation. Among all the samples, the BiOBr/ZnO composite with a mole ratio of 3:1(Bi:Zn) exhibited the best photocatalytic activity. The improvement of photocatalytic activity was mainly attributed to the low recombination ratio of photo-induced electron-hole pairs. The possible photocatalytic mechanism was discussed on the basis of the band structures of BiOBr and ZnO.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis of CdIn2S4 and Photocatalytic Degradation of Methyl Orange under Visible-light Irradiation

CdIn2S4 microspheres were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method with the temperature ranging from 120 to 200 ℃. X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, nitrogen sorption analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the products. It was found that the crystallographic structure and optical property of the products synthesized at different temperature were almost the same. The SBET of CdIn2S4 products decreased when the synthesized temperature increased, and the largest SBET was 33.16m2g-1 (120 ℃ sample). The degradation of methyl orange (MO) under the visible-light irradiation had been used as a probe reaction to investigate the photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared CdIn2S4, which showed that the CdIn2S4 sample synthesized at 120 ℃ presented the best photocatalytic activity for MO degradation.

Preparation of TiO2/ITO film electrode by AP-MOCVD for photoelectrocatalytic application

Titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) thin films were grown onto Indium tin oxide (ITO) glass under atmospheric pressure by chemical vapor deposition (AP-MOCVD) using titanium tetraisopropoxide astitanium precursor. The as-prepared TiO2 /ITO films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoelectrochemical measurements. Their photocatalytic (PC) and photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) activities were evaluated based on the results of methyl orange dye (MO) degradation experiments in aqueous solution. The difference between the front side (EE, electrolyte/electrode interface) and the back side (SE, substrate/electrode interface) illumination was evaluated in both photocurrent and MO degradation experiments. The effect of the film thickness on degradation rate by PEC under the two illumination directions was also studied. Stability of TiO2 /ITO film electrode was investigated in repetitive degradation experiments. Overall, the TiO2 /ITO film with thickness ranging from 321 to1440 nm deposited by MOCVD method is an effective photoelectrode for MO degradation under SE illumination in PEC reaction system.     

Preparation of Ag deposited TiO2 (Ag/TiO2) composites and investigation on visible-light photocatalytic degradation activity in magnetic field

In this study, Ag deposited TiO₂ (Ag/TiO₂) composites were prepared by three different methods (Ultraviolet Irradiation Deposition (UID), Vitamin C Reduction (VCR) and Sodium Borohydride Reduction (SBR)) for the visible-light photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes in magnetic field. And then the prepared Ag deposited TiO₂ (Ag/TiO₂) composites were characterized physically by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The visible-light photocatalytic activities of these three kinds of Ag deposited TiO₂ (Ag/TiO₂) composites were examined and compared through the degradation of several organic dyes under visible-light irradiation in magnetic field. In addition, some influence factors such as visible-light irradiation time, organic dye concentration, revolution speed, magnetic field intensity and organic dye kind on the visible-light photocatalytic activity of Ag deposited TiO₂ (Ag/TiO₂) composite were reviewed. The research results showed that the presence of magnetic field significantly enhanced the visible-light photocatalytic activity of Ag deposited TiO₂ (Ag/TiO₂) composites and then contributed to the degradation of organic dyes.
