具有独特电子结构的锌掺杂SnO2介导形成氧空位实现高效稳定的光催化降解甲苯

室内家具和工业生产排放的挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)是典型的空气污染物,对环境和人类健康造成严重威胁.然而,目前广泛应用的二氧化钛(P25)光催化剂在降解VOCs,尤其是降解芳香烃的过程中,存在光催化转化率低,失活快等问题.因此,开发具有高效和稳定性的新型光催化剂来降解VOCs,并将其实际应用是重要的科学问题.SnO₂是一种稳定无毒的半导体光催化剂,但电子和空穴的复合率较高.掺杂过渡金属离子后可以提供缺陷态来抑制催化剂电子空穴对的快速复合,促进界面电荷转移.相比其他金属离子,Zn²⁺与Sn⁴⁺的离子半径非常相近,因此Zn²⁺会很容易掺杂到SnO₂晶格中.并且用Zn²⁺取代Sn⁴⁺会形成表面修饰,即形成更多的氧空位(SOVs)来补偿正电荷.氧空位的存在不仅会产生缺陷能级,而且还可以促进大量局域电子的累积.SnO₂上氧空位和Zn掺杂结构的协同作用可以弥补单一的外源离子掺杂或产生氧空位的不足.因此,本文采用一种简便的一步法合成催化剂Zn-SnO₂,即在SnO₂上同时实现Zn掺杂和形成SOVs,利用两者对SnO₂的协同作用提高电荷转移和分离效率,使其在低或高相对湿度条件下均表现出高效、稳定的光催化降解甲苯性能.采用低温固态电子顺磁共振(EPR)检测了催化剂中的氧空位,在纯SnO₂中仅检测到弱的EPR信号,而Zn-SnO₂上的EPR信号非常强,表明Zn²⁺的掺杂诱导产生了大量的氧空位.扫描电镜和透射电镜结果表明,掺杂Zn²⁺可以有效抑制SnO₂纳米粒子的晶体生长和相变,使得掺杂Zn²⁺的SnO₂粒子的粒径显著减小,从而导致SOVs含量增加,此外粒径的减小有利于增大其比表面积,增加活性吸附位点.紫外可见漫反射结果表明,Zn-SnO₂拓宽了光吸收范围,这归因于锌掺杂和氧空位的协同作用.在紫外光照射下,Zn-SnO₂的光催化降解甲苯性能优于纯SnO₂和P25,降解率达到77.5%.ESR光谱结果表明,Zn-SnO₂上的电子自旋共振信号强度均强于纯SnO₂和P25,说明Zn-SnO₂具有较好的氧化能力,也与DFT计算O₂和H₂O的吸附能结果相吻合,表明了锌掺杂和SOVs对SnO₂的协同作用可以显著提高电荷转移和分离效率.最后,通过原位红外光谱和DFT计算方法对甲苯降解的机理进行了研究.结果表明,甲苯的苯环在纯SnO₂表面倾向于在苯甲酸阶段打开,在Zn-SnO₂表面更倾向于在苯甲醛阶段选择性地开环.可见,Zn-SnO₂光催化剂缩短了甲苯的降解路径,并能显著抑制中间毒副产物产生.综上,本工作提供了一种安全,高效和可持续的降解VOCs的光催化剂.

TiO2/石墨烯复合材料的光生电荷分离调控与光催化产氢性能研究

半导体光生电荷分离是光催化过程中的关键步骤之一,其效率极大地影响了最终光催化性能.将TiO₂纳米片与石墨烯复合,能够促进TiO₂中光生电子和空穴的分离,从而提高其光催化活性.为了研究光生电荷的分离对TiO₂/石墨烯复合材料光催化性能的影响,通过调控TiO₂纳米片的尺寸来调节TiO₂/石墨烯复合材料中光生电荷分离的能力,然后研究其对TiO₂/石墨烯复合材料光催化性能的影响.合成了一系列不同厚度的TiO₂纳米片,将其与石墨烯复合,并通过光沉积负载Pt纳米颗粒作为助催化剂,用于光催化产氢.实验结果显示,随着TiO₂纳米片厚度减小,其与石墨烯形成的复合结构的光催化性能显著提高.这主要是由于TiO₂纳米片厚度减小时,光生电子沿厚度方向穿过TiO₂纳米片迁移到石墨烯的距离缩短,从而减少了光生电子在迁移过程中与空穴的复合;同时TiO₂纳米片厚度减小使其比表面积增大,使得TiO₂/石墨烯界面面积增大,从而使石墨烯更好地分离出TiO₂中的光生电子,有更多的光生电子到达石墨烯参与催化反应,提高TiO₂/石墨烯复合材料的光催化性能.此研究表明通过控制TiO₂纳米片的尺寸来调控TiO₂/石墨烯复合材料中光生电子和空穴的分离,是显著提高其光催化性能的有效途径.     

反蛋白石结构ZnO@PDA用于增强光催化产H2O2性能

利用太阳能驱动生产高能量密度的H₂O₂太阳能燃料引起了广泛关注,但目前光催化剂缓慢的动力学限制了其实际应用。本文制备一种聚多巴胺(PDA)改性的反蛋白石结构ZnO(ZnO@PDA)光催化剂,用于可持续性的光催化产H₂O₂。由于电子的转移,因此当PDA与ZnO接触后,会在界面处形成一个从PDA指向ZnO的内建电场。在内建电场和能带弯曲的驱动下,ZnO导带中的光生电子与PDA最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)中的空穴复合,符合梯型异质结的电荷转移和分离途径。这种独特的梯型异质结确保了有效的电子或空穴的分离并且留存下具有强氧化还原能力的光生载流子。此外,与纯ZnO相比,反蛋白石结构的ZnO@PDA具有更强的光吸收能力。实验表明,归因于光吸收能力的提高,光生载流子的有效分离和强氧化还原能力,负载0.03% (原子分数) PDA的ZnO样品具有最佳的产H₂O₂性能(1011.4 μmol·L^-1·h^-1),分别是纯ZnO和PDA的4.4和8.9倍。

A nanometer-ZnO catalyst to enhance the ozonation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol in water

Removal of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) from water has been accomplished through zinc oxide (ZnO) catalytic ozonation. In the presence of ZnO catalyst, aqueous ozone (O₃) can be described by a two-stage behavior, first involving a short-term rapid decomposition followed by a second slow decomposition. The low reaction rate (k_d2) of second stage for O₃-ZnO systems suggested that most of O₃ was transferred into OH radical by ZnO catalyst and was rapidly consumed during the first stage. The combined use of O₃ and ZnO catalyst leads to a conspicuous 99.8% of TCP conversion in 30 min which compares favorably to the hardly 75% reached in the absence of the catalyst. The high reactivity of hydroxyl radicals that were generated by O₃-ZnO during the oxidation process effectively degraded TCP. Without regard to the O₃ dose, the catalytic–oxidation kinetics of the process depends on the concentration of ZnO catalyst and size of ZnO particles. At the same concentration of three different ZnO size in batch tests, TCP degradation rates were in the order of nanometer > submicrometer > micrometer. The effect of pore diffusion on the rate of TCP–ZnO reactions was determined by examination of the effectiveness factor using different particle sizes of ZnO. Calculations show that the rate of TCP decomposition by nano-size ZnO was strongly controlled by surface reaction with little influence of pore diffusion, as indicated by the high effectiveness factors.     

Sn4+掺杂对TiO2纳米颗粒膜光催化降解苯酚活性的影响

金属离子掺杂能改善TiO2纳米微粒光催化活性,在光降解大气和水污染物的研究中,已引起人们的重视[1,2].实验证明,掺杂物的浓度、掺杂离子的分布、掺杂能级与TiO2能带匹配程度、掺杂离子d电子的组态、电荷的转移和复合等因素对催化剂的光催化活性有直接影响[3].Kamat等[4]曾利用TiO2颗粒与SnO2颗粒混合制膜,使光催化剂活性得到提高.但Sn4+掺杂TiO2用于光催化剂尚少见报道.本文采用等离子体化学气相沉积法(PECVD)[5]制备了Sn4+离子掺杂的TiO2纳米颗粒膜催化剂(TiO2-Sn),考察了其对苯酚的光催化降解活性,讨论了Sn4+离子的掺杂方式及光催化活性提高的机理.     

光催化全解水助催化剂的设计与构建

能源和环境危机是当今社会面临的两大关键课题,利用太阳光驱动化学反应、将太阳能转化为化学能是解决上述问题的重要措施。通过光催化分解水是直接利用太阳能生产氢燃料的有效策略。光催化水分解过程可以分为三个基元步骤:光吸收、电荷分离与迁移、以及表面氧化还原反应。助催化剂可有效提高电荷分离效率、提供反应活性位点并抑制催化剂光腐蚀的发生,进而提高水分解效率。助催化剂也可以通过活化水分子以提高表面氧化还原动力学,进而提升整体光催化反应的太阳能转换效率。本文综述了助催化剂在光催化反应中的重要作用以及目前常用的助催化剂类型,详细说明了在光催化全解水过程中双助催化剂体系的构建及作用机理,并根据限制全解水的关键因素提出了新型助催化剂的设计策略。     

ZnCuAl-LDH/Bi2MoO6纳米复合材料的构建及其可见光催化降解性能

In this study, pure Bi₂MoO₆ was synthesized via a solvothermal method. A ZnCuAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH)/Bi₂MoO₆ (denoted as LDH/Bi₂MoO₆) nanocomposite was synthesized via a steady-state co-precipitation route using Bi₂MoO₆ as the matric material. LDH was deposited on the surface of Bi₂MoO₆ with a close contact interface. The specific surface area of the resulting LDH/Bi₂MoO₆ composite increased up to 19.1 m²∙g⁻¹ owing to the stacking arrangement between LDH and the Bi₂MoO₆ nanosheets, resulting in the generation of a large number of reactive sites. In addition, the light absorption region of the LDH/Bi₂MoO₆ composite was larger than those of pure LDH and Bi₂MoO₆ because of the formation of a heterojunction structure and the possible quantum size effect. The photocatalytic performance of the as-prepared samples was evaluated by carrying out the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) using them under visible light irradiation. Compared to pure LDH and Bi₂MoO₆, the LDH/Bi₂MoO₆ nanocomposite exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of RhB. With an increase in the LDH content, the photocatalytic activity of the LDH/Bi₂MoO₆ composite first increased and then decreased. Although the addition of an optimum amount of LDH was beneficial for the generation of electron-hole pairs, excessive LDH on the surface of Bi₂MoO₆ decreased the visible light absorption ability of both the components, thus reducing photocatalytic activity of the composite. This indicates that an appropriate LDH:Bi₂MoO₆ molar ratio is necessary for obtaining LDH/Bi₂MoO₆ composites with excellent photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the LDH/Bi₂MoO₆ composite showed high photocatalytic stability and reusability. The structure of the LDH/Bi₂MoO₆ composite remained almost unchanged even after four photodegradation cycles. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of the composite can be attributed to the combined effect of its heterojunction structure and high specific surface area, which are beneficial for effective separation of photogenerated charge carriers and the availability of a large number of active sites for photocatalysis. It was found that •OH and O₂^•− were the main reactive species, while e⁻ and h⁺ contributed little to the photodegradation process. The generation, transfer, and separation of photoinduced electrons and holes in the composites were investigated by transient photocurrent responses, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy Nyquist plots, and photoluminescence measurements. The results showed that the heterojunction structure of the composites played a key role in enhancing their photocatalytic activity. A possible photodegradation mechanism was proposed for the composite. This study will provide a facile approach for the preparation of LDH- and/or Bi₂MoO₆-based nanocomposites. The LDH/Bi₂MoO₆ nanocomposite prepared in this study showed huge potential to be used as a visible-light photocatalyst for degrading environmental pollutants.

磷酸根修饰的Mn掺杂介孔TiO2在VUV-PCO体系高效催化氧化甲苯性能

Vacuum ultraviolet irradiation coupled with photocatalytic oxidation (VUV-PCO) is an efficient and promising method for eliminating pollutants at room temperature; it involves three processes: vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photolysis, photocatalytic oxidation (PCO), and ozone catalytic oxidation. Herein, toluene was chosen as the representative volatile organic compound (VOC), which is one of the most important precursors to form fine particulate matter and photochemical smog, because of its high toxicity and extensive existence in industries. All experiments were performed in a fixed-bed continuous-flow reactor that contained units for VUV photolysis and PCO. Mesoporous P-Mn-TiO₂ was prepared by one-step hydrolysis and used as a catalyst for the oxidation of gaseous toluene under VUV irradiation through the VUV-PCO process. The as-prepared P-Mn-TiO₂ samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), ultraviolet-visible light (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to determine the physicochemical properties of the catalysts and to determine the mechanisms of Mn doping and phosphoric acid modification and the effects of these processes on photocatalytic activity, ozone catalytic activity, and adsorption performance. The results indicated that the synergistic effect of phosphoric acid modification and Mn doping can improve the ozone catalytic activity and photocatalytic performance by increasing the number of oxygen active sites, completely eliminating the outlet ozone, and simultaneously promoting the efficient degradation of toluene. Moreover, doping TiO₂ with Mn³⁺ significantly enhanced light harvesting, and numerous oxygen vacancies can be generated on the catalyst surface because of the presence of doped Mn³⁺ in the lattice, which adsorbs and transforms the oxygen species for toluene degradation. In addition, modification with an appropriate amount of phosphate groups can facilitate O₂ and O₃ adsorption on the TiO₂ surface that can favor photo-induced charge carrier separation, thereby significantly improving the photocatalytic and ozone catalytic activities. The excellent catalytic performance of mesoporous P-Mn-TiO₂ for toluene degradation and outlet ozone elimination was ascribed to the formation of highly reactive oxidizing species such as O(1D), O(3P), and ·OH via the catalytic decomposition of O₃ adsorbed on the oxygen vacancy sites containing Mn and phosphate groups on the catalyst surface. In the VUV-PCO process, toluene was first destructed via VUV photolysis and oxidized by residual O₃ generated from VUV photolysis and the active oxygen species formed in the presence of the catalyst. Finally, toluene and the generated intermediate products were oxidized and degraded to CO₂ and H₂O through VUV-PCO. In addition, the outlet ozone byproduct was simultaneously eliminated by the multifunctional catalyst.      

Fabrication of Z-Scheme WO3/KNbO3 Photocatalyst with Enhanced Separation of Charge Carriers

Z-Scheme photocatalysts as a research focus perform strong redox capability and high photocatalytic performance. WO₃/KNbO₃ photocatalysts were fabricated by ball milling method, and performed higher photocatalytic activity in liquid degradation(rhodamine B, methylene blue and bisphenol A), compared with WO₃ or KNbO₃ monomer. This is due to that Z-scheme heterojunction is formed between WO₃ and KNbO₃, and the holes photo-excited in valence band of KNbO₃ are quickly combined with the electrons in conduction band of WO₃. The electrons accumulated in conduction band of KNbO₃ show high reducibility, thereby reducing O₂ to ^·O₂^-, and the holes in valence band of WO₃ show high oxidative to oxidize H₂O to ^·OH, respectively. Furthermore, it is proved by means of electron spin resonance(ESR) spectra, terephthalic acid photoluminescence probing technique(TA-PL), and UV-Vis absorption spectra of nitroblue tetrazolium. This work indicates that the fabrication of Z-scheme structure can improve the photocatalytic activity by efficiently separating the photogenerated electrons and holes in the photocatalytic reaction system, which is helpful to deeply understand the migration mechanism of photoexcited carrier(band-band transfer and Z-scheme transfer) in heterojunction photocatalysts.
