一步醇-水热法合成高效的F掺杂BiVO_4光催化剂（英文）

以NH_4F为掺杂前体,采用简单的一步醇-水热法制备了F掺杂BiVO_4光催化剂。利用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis)和光致发光光谱(PL)表征了这些光催化剂的物理化学性质。在少量H_2O_2存在条件下,以可见光照射下光催化降解苯酚的反应测定了这些光催化剂的催化活性。研究表明,相较于未掺杂的BiVO_4样品而言,F掺杂BiVO_4样品不仅仍保留了单斜结构,而且有更高的结晶度、表面氧空位密度和光生电荷载流子分离效率,更强的光吸收和更低的带隙能。在这些F掺杂BiVO_4样品中,以nF/nBi的理论值为1.0且带隙能为2.43 eV的F掺杂BiVO_4样品的光催化活性最好(90 min内苯酚的降解率可达95%)。这一优良的光催化性能与其具有最高的结晶度、表面氧空位密度和光生电荷载流子分离效率,最强的光吸收和最低的带隙能有关。     

对BiVO4/BiPO4复合物可见光催化活性提高的研究

采用水热法合成出具有不同V、P物质的量之比的BiVO₄/BiPO₄复合物.n_V/n_P分别为:0.1/9.9、0.5/9.5、1/9、3/7、5/5.采用 XRD、FE-SEM、EDS、拉曼、可见光光度计、漫反射以及电化学等测试手段对BiVO₄/BiPO₄复合物进行表征.在可见光条件下降解亚甲基蓝来评价BiVO₄/BiPO₄复合物的光催化活性.结果显示,当n_V/n_P<3/7的时候,BiVO₄/BiPO₄复合物的光催化活性随着BiVO₄含量的增加而增加,当n_V/n_P=3/7的时候,复合物具有最佳的光催化性能,反应速率常数k为0.005 1 min^-1,是纯BiPO₄的23.2倍.BiVO₄/BiPO₄复合物的光催化机制主要是由于BiVO₄的加入,提高了电子-空穴的分离率,进而提高了光催化活性.

Bi₂MoO₆/BiVO₄样品光催化性能提高的原因是Bi₂MoO₆和BiVO₄形成异质结, 从而有效抑制光生电子-空穴对的复合, 增大了可见光吸收范围及比表面积.     

溶胶-凝胶法低温制备N掺杂TiO2可见光光催化剂

Prussian Blue Type Cocatalysts for Enhancing the Photocatalytic Water Oxidation Performance of BiVO4

The efficiency of photocatalytic overall water splitting reactions is usually limited by the high energy barrier and complex multiple electron-transfer processes of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Although bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄) as the photocatalyst has been developed for enhancing the kinetics of the water oxidation reaction, it still suffers from challenges of fast recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and poor photocatalytic activity. Herein, six M^II-Co^III Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) cocatalysts are synthesized and deposited on the surface of BiVO₄ for boosting the surface catalytic efficiency and enhancing photogenerated carries separation efficiency of BiVO₄. Six M^II-Co^III PBAs@BiVO₄ photocatalysts all demonstrate increased photocatalytic water oxidation performance compared to that of BiVO₄ alone. Among them, the Co−Co PBA@BiVO₄ photocatalyst is employed as a representative research object and is thoroughly characterized by electrochemistry, electronic microscope as well as multiple spectroscopic analyses. Notably, BiVO₄ coupling with Co−Co PBA cocatalyst could capture more photons than that of pure BiVO₄, facilitating the transfer of photogenerated charge carriers between BiVO₄ and Co−Co PBA as well as the surface catalytic efficiency of BiVO₄. Overall, this work would promote the synthesis strategy development for exploring new types of composite photocatalysts for water oxidation.

BiVO4/ZnFe2O4同型异质结光阳极的构筑及其光电催化分解水性能

光生电子-空穴对的复合被认为是限制BiVO₄材料光电催化转换效率的重要原因之一。基于此,通过简单的水热-煅烧方法构筑了 BiVO₄/ZnFe₂O₄同型异质结光阳极,BiVO₄/ZnFe₂O₄复合光阳极在 1.23 V(vs RHE)下的光电流密度为 3.33 mA·cm^-2,较纯BiVO₄提升了2倍 (1.20 mA·cm^-2)。相关的结构及性能测试表明,BiVO₄和ZnFe₂O₄形成了带隙错开的n-n异质结,使得光生载流子得到有效分离,更有效地参与水氧化过程,进而提高了BiVO₄的光电催化水分解性能。     

Porous F-doped BiVO4: Synthesis and enhanced photocatalytic performance for the degradation of phenol under visible-light illumination

Fluoride-doped BiVO₄ with the F/Bi molar ratios of 0, 0.09, 0.13, and 0.29 (denoted as BiVO₄–F0, BiVO₄–F0.09, BiVO₄–F0.13, and BiVO₄–F0.29, respectively) were synthesized using the hydrothermal strategy with the hydrothermally derived BiVO₄ as the precursor and NH₄F as the fluoride source. Physicochemical properties of the materials were characterized by means of a number of analytical techniques. Photocatalytic activities of the fluoride-doped BiVO₄ samples were evaluated for the degradation of phenol under visible-light irradiation. It is shown that compared to the undoped BiVO₄–F0 sample, the fluoride-doped BiVO₄ samples retained the monoclinic structure, but possessed higher surface areas and oxygen adspecies concentration, better light-absorbing performance, and lower bandgap energies. Among the four samples, the porous spherical BiVO₄–F0.29 sample exhibited the best photocatalytic activity for the degradation of phenol in the presence of a small amount of H₂O₂ under visible-light illumination. It is concluded that the higher surface area and oxygen adspecies concentration, stronger optical absorbance performance, and lower bandgap energy were responsible for the excellent photocatalytic performance of BiVO₄–F0.29 for the photocatalytic degradation of phenol.     

Band-Gap and Charge Transfer Engineering in Red Phosphorus-Based Composites for Enhanced Visible-Light-Driven H2 Evolution

It is known that the low lifetime of photogenerated carriers is the main drawback of elemental photocatalysts. Therefore, a facile and versatile one-step strategy to simultaneously achieve the oxygen covalent functionalization of amorphous red phosphorus (RP) and in situ modification of CdCO₃ is reported. This strategy endows RP with enhanced charge carrier separation ability and photocatalytic activity by coupling band-gap engineering and heterojunction construction. The as-prepared nCdCO₃/SO-RP (n=0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0) composites exhibited excellent photocatalytic H₂ evolution activity (up to 516.3 μmol g⁻¹ h) from visible-light-driven water splitting (λ>400 nm), which is about 17.6 times higher than that of pristine RP. By experimental and theoretical investigations, the roles of surface oxygen covalent functionalization, that is, prolonging the lifetime of photogenerated carriers and inducing the negative shift of the conduction band potential, were studied in detail. Moreover, the charge transfer mechanism of these composites has also been proposed. In addition, these composites are stable and can be reused at least for three times without significant activity loss. This work may provide a good example of how to promote the activity of elemental photocatalysts by decorating their atomic structure.     

Enhancing the photoelectrochemical performance of BiVO<Subscript>4</Subscript> by decorating only its (040) facet with self-assembled Ag@AgCl QDs

Decorating a host semiconductor with quantum dots (QDs) is an important strategy for optimizing the separation efficiency and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers. In this work, we designed a heterojunction photoelectrocatalyst in which the (040) facet of BiVO₄ was decorated with self-assembled Ag@AgCl QDs (“Ag@AgCl/₀₄₀BiVO₄”). In this photocatalyst, photogenerated charge carriers are efficiently separated using a Z-scheme approach. A facile oil-in-water self-assembly method was employed to generate the composite photocatalyst, which was then characterized via XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, etc. The results of this characterization indicated that the Ag@AgCl QDs were approximately 5 nm in size and were well dispersed across the (040) crystal facet of BiVO₄. PEC measurements indicated that the efficiency of electron–hole separation was enhanced when the BiVO₄ was decorated with Ag@AgCl QDs on just one of its facets (040) rather than across all of its surface. An attempt was also made to elucidate the mechanism of interfacial charge transfer in the Ag@AgCl/₀₄₀BiVO₄ system. Decorating a specific crystal facet (040) of BiVO₄ with Ag@AgCl QDs was found to facilitate the spatial separation of photogenerated charge carriers and to enhance the redox ability of the system.     

磁性BiVO4可见光催化材料的制备及光催化性能

采用水相沉淀法,以Fe3O4粒子为核心,令BiVO4沉淀附着于其上,制备了一种更易于从溶液中分离的磁性BiVO4可见光催化材料,以XRD、SEM、UV-Vis DRS、低温氮吸附-脱附等对其进行了表征。结果表明制备的磁性BiVO4为单斜白钨矿型,颗粒呈片状,粒径比普通BiVO4有所增大,在可见光区的吸收更强,吸收边红移程度随Fe3O4含量增加而增大,但比表面积并没有明显改变。并以可见光(λ≥400 nm)为光源,以亚甲基蓝溶液模拟染料废水,考察了其可见光催化活性,发现与纯BiVO4相比,磁性BiVO4具有更为良好的催化性能。通过考察各催化剂的DRS图谱以及暗反应后亚甲基蓝的浓度,发现这种降解效率上的提高是禁带宽度(Eg)降低、可见光吸收增加和对亚甲基蓝吸附量增大综合作用所导致的。这种吸附量的提升与比表面积无关,本工作以等电点的影响来解释此原因。     

BiVO4/ZnFe2O4同型异质结光阳极的构筑及其光电催化分解水性能
