可见光响应光催化剂K4Ce2Ta10O30、K4Ce2Nb10O30及其固溶体的电子结构

基于密度泛函理论(DFT), 采用平面波赝势(PWP)以及广义梯度近似(GGA)方法, 对可见光响应的光催化剂K4Ce2Ta10O30、K4Ce2Nb10O30及其固溶体进行电子结构的第一性原理计算. 结果表明, 光催化剂K4Ce2Ta10O30和K4Ce2Nb10O30的导带分别主要由Ta 5d和Nb 4d组成, 处于高能级的电子未占据态的Ce 4f与其有很明显的重迭, 但由于其高度局域特性,不能很好地参与光生电子在导带中的传导, 从而对光催化活性的贡献很小;而其价带则由O 2p与Ta 5d (Nb 4d)的杂化轨道组成, 同时电子占据态的Ce 4f对价带也有一定的贡献, 各个电子轨道对能带结构的贡献决定了该系列可见光响应光催化剂的物理化学和光催化特性. 固溶体系列中随着Nb含量的增加, 其吸收光谱依次红移, 带隙变窄, 导带底变低, 光生电子的还原能力降低. 在固溶体K4Ce2Ta10-xNbxO30(x=2, 5, 8)中, 由于Ce 4f轨道对价带顶的贡献相对较小, 固溶体的价带顶低于K4Ce2Ta10O30、K4Ce2Nb10O30的价带顶, 光生空穴的氧化能力相对较强. 该系列光催化剂的电子结构分析结果与光催化水分解的活性实验结果有很好的一致性.     

新颖CdMoO4/g-C3N4复合材料的制备及其可见光增强的电荷分离和光催化活性（英文）

半导体光催化技术因其能够完全矿化和降解废水以及废气中的各种有机和无机污染物而受到越来越多研究者关注.尽管TiO2作为光催化剂显示了良好的应用前景,但其只对紫外光响应,该部分能量大约仅占太阳光谱的5%,从而限制了其实际应用.因此,开发新型可见光响应光催化剂成为光催化领域的研究焦点之一.石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)作为一种光催化材料,由于具有良好的热和化学稳定性以及可见光响应而备受关注.然而,单纯的g-C3N4由于光生电荷载流子易复合,光催化效果并不理想.为进一步提高g-C3N4的光催化活性,构建g-C3N4基异质结复合光催化材料被认为是增强g-C3N4光生电子-空穴分离效率的有效方法.CdMoO4作为一种光催化材料,与g-C3N4匹配的能带有利于光生电子-空穴的分离,从而提高g-C3N4的光催化活性.本文通过便利的原位沉淀-煅烧过程,制备了新颖的CdMoO4/g-C3N4异质复合光催化材料.复合材料的晶相构成、形貌、表面化学组分和光学特性等通过相应的分析测试手段进行表征.光催化活性通过可见光下催化降解罗丹明B水溶液来评价.结果显示,将CdMoO4沉积在g-C3N4表面形成复合材料可明显提高光催化活性,且当CdMoO4含量为4.8 wt%时达到最佳的光催化活性.这种显著增强的光催化活性可能是由于CdMoO4/g-C3N4复合物能够有效地传输和分离光生电荷载流子,从而抑制了光生电子-空穴的复合.电化学阻抗、瞬态光电流和稳定荧光光谱测试结果证实,通过CdMoO4与g-C3N4复合可有效增强电荷分离效率.此外,活性物捕获实验表明,在光催化过程中空穴(h+)和超氧自由基(?O2?)是主要活性物种.根据莫托-肖特基实验并结合紫外-可见漫反射吸收光谱,得到了单纯g-C3N4和CdMoO4的能带结构,提出了形成的II型异质结有助于增强光催化活性的机理.     

纳米Ag@AgBr表面敏化K_2Ti_4O_9可见光催化剂的微波合成、表征和光催化活性(英文)

利用微波法合成纳米尺寸Ag@AgBr表面敏化K2Ti4O9的复合光催化剂(Ag@AgBr/K2Ti4O9),并通过SEM、X-射线能量色散谱(EDX)、TEM、选定区域电子衍射(SAED)、XRD、紫外-可见漫反射(UV-VisDiffuseReflectance)、XPS等对其进行了表征,同时在可见光下测定催化剂对有机物降解的光催化活性。结果表明,粒径为0.2~0.5μm的Ag@AgBr均匀分散在K2Ti4O9表面,Ag@AgBr/K2Ti4O9对可见光有很好的吸收且Ag@AgBr的担载量影响可见光的吸收。当Ag@AgBr的担载量为25wt%时,复合光催化剂具有最高的光催化活性,光照1h对罗丹明B(RhB)的降解率可达97%。另外,催化剂的担载量和稳定性也做了考察。催化剂较高的光催化活性主要归因于Ag纳米粒子的表面等离子体效应和有效的光生电子-空穴的分离。     

基于等离子体型Ag@AgBr插层K4Nb6O17的可控合成及光催化性能

在微波辅助条件下采用离子交换和光致还原的方法将Ag@AgBr纳米粒子插层进入K4Nb6O17层间,制备了具有等离子体共振效应的可见光催化剂(记作K4Nb6O17/Ag@AgBr).在胺交换过程中采用不同链长的有机胺对酸交换产物进行柱撑,通过铌酸钾层间距的变化实现层间Ag@AgBr纳米粒子的形貌调控.利用XRD,SEM,EDX,UV-Vis等手段对复合催化剂进行结构、形貌和性质分析,并对复合光催化剂进行了可见光降解亚甲基蓝、甲基橙和苯酚的性能研究.结果表明:改性后的复合光催化剂在可见光区的响应大大增强;3种复合光催化剂对目标污染物均具有良好的可见光催化活性,其中十二胺柱撑的Ag@AgBr插层K4Nb6O17复合光催化剂对亚甲基蓝的移除效果最好.

S型Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂及其增强的可见光诱导的光催化氧化NO性能

近年来,随着工业化和城镇化的飞速发展,作为一种典型的空气污染物,NOx已经造成严重的环境问题,甚至威胁到人类的身体健康.为了解决这个问题,科研工作者研发了许多NOx去除技术,其中光催化技术被认为是一种能有效地去除空气中NOx的技术.作为一种廉价、无毒、热稳定性强、能带结构合适的光催化材料,石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)能够有效的利用可见光,将NO光催化氧化为NO3^-.但是由于自身的光生载流子复合率较高,光谱响应范围较窄等缺点,g-C3N4不能有效的光催化去除空气中持续流动的低浓度NO,限制了其在光催化领域中的实际应用.因此,有必要合成出高催化活性、高光响应范围的S型复合光催化剂来克服以上光催化材料的不足.为此,我们利用超声辅助法制备了一系列的S型Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂,呈现出优异的光催化活性:与其纯组分相比,所制备的15-Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂在可见光下照射30 min,可去除68%以上的持续流动的NO(初始浓度400 ppb),且五次循环实验后,Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂仍然具备良好的光催化活性和稳定性.透射电子显微镜结果清楚地表明,Sb2WO6颗粒已成功地均匀地负载到g-C3N4纳米片表面.紫外可见漫反射光谱的结果表明,Sb2WO6和g-C3N4的复合可以有效地提高对可见光的吸收能力.与纯g-C3N4样品相比,复合样的吸收带边具有明显的红移.光致发光光谱结果表明,在Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合半导体中,光生载流子的复合受到抑制.光电流与电阻抗分析可知,与纯Sb2WO6和g-C3N4相比较,在15-Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂中的光生载流子的迁移速率和分离效率较高.通过对样品的能带结构分析并已有参考文献,我们认为Sb2WO6和g-C3N4的接触边界形成了S型异质结,使光生载流子的转移速率更快,改善了光生电子-空穴对分离,而且增强可见光的利用效率,从而提高了光催化性能.自由基捕获实验结果证实,?O2^-主导了Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂去除NO反应,h^+也在一定程度上参与了光催化氧化NO的反应.通过原位红外光谱技术研究了Sb2WO6/g-C3N4光催化NO氧化的反应机理,研究发现,Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂光催化去除是氧诱导的反应.具体反应机理是在可见光的驱动下,光催化剂表面的光生电子会与被吸附的O2反应生成?O2^-,并与光生h^+一起,共同将低浓度的NO光催化氧化为亚硝酸盐或硝酸盐.该研究有助于深入研究光催化氧化NO机理,并为设计高效光催化剂用于光催化氧化ppb级NO提供了一种极具前景的策略.     

MoSe2/ZnO/ZnSe复合物用于高效可见光催化还原Cr（Ⅵ）（英文）

半导体光催化还原Cr(VI)为Cr(III)被认为是一种能够解决环境和能源问题的绿色技术.典型光催化剂ZnO和TiO2在还原重金属离子和二氧化碳,降解有机污染物,分解水等领域均已被证明是一种有潜力的光催化剂.但是,它们窄的太阳能吸收范围和快的光生载流子复合限制了其实际应用.因此,探索能够响应可见光的高效光催化剂是非常急切的课题.研究表明,引入窄带半导体构筑异质结复合光催化剂是一种提高ZnO和TiO2可见光催化活性的有效途径.随着二维石墨烯研究的热潮,具有类石墨烯结构的材料,如过渡金属硫化物MX2(M=Mo,W,Nb,Ta,Zr;X=S,Se)以其独特的“三明治夹心”层状结构受到了研究者的高度重视.在这些MX2材料中,MoS2是间接带隙半导体,能带为1.2 eV,并且随着层数的减小,能带增加到1.8 eV,因此,它对可见光具有很好的吸收能力.MoS2具有比表面积大、吸附能力强、反应活性高等优异的物理和化学性能,被广泛应用于光催化、制氢反应、太阳能电池及锂离子电池等领域.类似于MoS2,MoSe2也应该是一种具有潜力的窄带光催化剂.不幸的是,对于MoSe2在光催化还原Cr(VI)中的应用,还鲜有报道.本文基于ZnO,ZnSe和MoSe2构筑复合光催化剂,由于它们存在阶梯型的能级结构,使得此复合物能够展现优异的可见光催化性能,这是一种提高ZnO可见光催化活性的有效方法.扫描电子和高分辨透射电子显微镜结果显示,ZnO和ZnSe纳米颗粒分散在二维MoSe2片周围,形成很好的界面接触,有利于光生电子-空穴对的快速转移和分离,促进光催化反应的进行.紫外可见吸收光谱结果表明,MoSe2/ZnO/ZnSe(ZM)复合物在可见光区域展现了很好的吸收.电化学阻抗谱和光电流响应曲线结果表明,ZM复合物中光生载流子复合被有效抑制,延长了其寿命.光催化还原Cr(VI)的实验结果发现,与纯ZnO相比,ZM复合物展现了优异的光催化活性.在可见光照射180 min后,ZM复合物对Cr(VI)的还原率达到100%.优异的光催化活性归因于其优异的可见光吸收、阶梯型能级结构和光生载流子的有效转移.光催化重复性实验和X射线衍射图结果表明,在光催化反应之后ZM复合物的结构没有发生变化,具有良好的稳定性.本工作可为进一步设计具有理想功能的二维复合光催化剂提供有价值的信息.     

Ag_2O-TiO_2/海泡石复合光催化剂制备及其可见光光催化性能（英文）

传统的Ti O2半导体光催化剂存在光谱响应范围窄、量子效率低及不易回收等不足,使其在实际应用中受到限制.通过离子掺杂、贵金属沉积和半导体复合等方法对Ti O2进行改性可以拓展其光响应范围,其中半导体复合方法最为常用.复合半导体的特殊能带结构能够有效促进光生载流子的界面迁移,实现光生电荷的有效分离,提高光催化性能,且通过固定化或负载可改善Ti O2的可回收利用性能.鉴于此,本文针对半导体Ti O2的复合和负载制备及其光催化降解有机污染物的性能和反应机理进行了研究.采用条件温和、稳定的溶胶-凝胶法于低温制备出Ti O2/海泡石复合物,通过浸渍和焙烧将Ag2O负载于其上,修饰和拓展了Ti O2的可见光响应范围,最终获得了可见光响应、高效、稳定的Ag2O-Ti O2/海泡石复合光催化剂.利用X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、扫描电镜(SEM)、透射电镜(TEM)、N2吸附-脱附和紫外-可见光光谱(UV-vis)等手段对其物理化学特性进行了表征.XRD结果表明,复合样品中Ti O2呈锐钛矿相和金红石相的混合晶相.TEM结果表明,复合样品中存在Ag2O和Ti O2两种组分,晶格条纹相互交叠形成了异质结结构.UV-vis谱表明,与Ti O2/海泡石相比,Ag2O-Ti O2/海泡石复合光催化剂的吸收带边明显红移,展现了较强的可见光吸收能力.N2吸附-脱附结果表明,Ag2O-Ti O2/海泡石复合光催化剂具有较大的比表面积和介孔结构,这有助于增强催化剂对污染物的吸附能力并提供更多的复合位点.以酸性红G为模拟污染废水,研究了焙烧温度和Ag2O负载量等制备条件对所制催化剂可见光催化性能的影响.结果表明,在可见光照射下,焙烧温度为200°C,Ag2O负载量为10%条件下制备的复合光催化剂对酸性红G的降解率为98%,与Ag2O-Ti O2、Ag2O/海泡石和Ti O2/海泡石等复合物相比,Ag2O-Ti O2/海泡石复合光催化剂展现了优异的可见光催化性能.此外,Ag2O-Ti O2/海泡石复合光催化剂同样能够在可见光条件下有效降解常见室内空气污染物甲醛,进一步证实了催化剂优异的光催化性能.化学荧光法和活性物种捕获实验表明,复合光催化剂降解有机污染物的活性基团主要是光生空穴和超氧自由基.催化剂能带结构分析表明,Ag2O和Ti O2具有相匹配的能带结构,两者复合有利于光生载流子分离和迁移,增强催化剂光催化活性.海泡石作为光催化剂载体能够有效固载光催化成分,增加光催化剂有效表面积和活性位,有利于提高复合光催化剂的吸附性能和回收利用率.

Sonophotocatalytic treatment of diazinon using visible light‐driven Ce:Cu‐1,4‐BDOAH2 photocatalyst in a batch‐mode process: Response surface methodology and optimization

Cu–1,4‐benzenedioxyacetic acid (Cu‐1,4‐BDOAH₂) with a narrow band gap (2.52 eV) was synthesized and doped with Ce to afford Ce:Cu‐1,4‐BDOAH₂ as an efficient photocatalyst with narrower band gap (2.39 eV). The prepared Cu‐1,4‐BDOAH₂ and Ce:Cu‐1,4‐BDOAH₂ were characterized using Fourier transform infrared, energy‐dispersive X‐ray, diffuse reflectance spectroscopies, scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction. The sonophotocatalytic degradation of diazinon was carried out in a batch‐mode reactor using visible light‐driven Ce:Cu‐1,4‐BDOAH₂ photocatalyst as well as ultrasonic irradiation. The narrow band gap of the photocatalyst means that it can be activated under visible light illumination. The effects of operational parameters such as initial diazinon concentration (5–25 mg l^?1), pH (2–10), photocatalyst dosage (10–30 mg) and irradiation time (10–30 min) on the sonophotocatalytic degradation efficiency were investigated using central composite design under response surface methodology. The optimization process was studied using desirability function and the results indicated 99.8% degradation, which was obtained at optimum values of 25 mg l^?1, 6, 20 mg and 20 min for the initial concentration of diazinon, pH, photocatalyst dosage and irradiation time, respectively. Reusability experiments of Ce:Cu‐1,4‐BDOAH₂ photocatalyst showed that it is quite stable with excellent catalytic activity even after five cycles.     

Solar Light Responsive Graphitic Carbon Nitride Coupled Porphyrin Photocatalyst that Uses for Solar Fine Chemical Production

Photocatalysis is a defendable manner for production of several organic chemicals, energy and its storage from solar energy. For the evolution of metal free, cost-effective catalyst a 2D composite has been appear as a photocatalyst. Here, we had reported the synthesis of a light harvesting composite as a photocatalyst which was assembled by a poly-condensation mechanism between graphitic carbon nitride and tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl) porphyrin and the resulting composite manifest the excellent light harvesting properties, suitable energy band and low charge recombination. The photocatalyst [(NO₂)₄TPP@g-C₃N₄] enables the efficient photocatalytic production of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) from consumed NAD⁺ also the production of organic chemicals like 4-methoxybenzylimines from 4-methoxybenzylamines. The photocatalytic efficiency of the photocatalyst was estimated by the percentage of NADH regeneration and the percentage yield of organic transformations. It shows the tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl) porphyrin could enhance the charge transfer capacity of graphitic carbon nitride which shows excellent photocatalysis activities and organic transformations.     

Photoluminescent layered Y(III) and Tb(III) silicates doped with Ce(III)

The synthesis and structural characterization of new layered rare-earth silicates K(3)[M(1-a)Ce(a)Si(3)O(8)(OH)(2)], M = Y(3+), Tb(3+), a < 1 (AV-22 materials), have been reported. These materials combine the properties of layered silicates, such as intercalation chemistry, and photoluminescence and may find applications in new types of sensor devices. For mixed Tb/Ce-AV-22, evidence has been found for the energy transfer from the large Ce(3+) 4f( 1) --> 5d(1) broad band to the sharp Tb(3+) 4f (8) lines. This energy transfer allows the fine-tuning of the color emission in the blue-green region of the chromaticity diagram. Upon Ce(3+) excitation (342 nm), the radiance of Tb/Ce-AV-22 is approximately 2 times higher than that measured under direct Tb(3+) excitation, which reinforces the existence of effective room-temperature Ce(3+)-to-Tb(3+) energy transfer.     

Nitrogen doping in ion-exchangeable layered tantalate towards visible-light induced water oxidation

An ion-exchangeable layered photocatalyst CsCa(2)Ta(3)O(10) was doped with nitrogen. The as-prepared photocatalyst (N-doped CsCa(2)Ta(3)O(10)) is stable and demonstrates high performance for catalyzing water oxidation under visible light irradiation.     

Enhanced Photocatalytic Denitrification Rhodamine Bover In_2O_3/Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) Nanocomposites under Visible Light Irradiation

A novel In_2O_3/Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) composite photocatalyst, where In_2O_3 nanoparticles with the diameter of about 5~10 nm were tightly attached on the surface of Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) plates, was prepared by using hydrolysis, impregnation method and post-thermal process. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of Rhodamine B under the visible light irradiation. Effects of the contents of In_2O_3 nanoparticles on the optical property and photocatalytic activity of In_2O_3/Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) composite were also investigated. Compared with neat In_2O_3 and Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) materials, 15 In_2O_3/Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) composite exhibits the best photocatalytic activity owing to the efficient separation of photogenerated electron and hole pairs, which is evidenced by photoluminence spectra. More than 95% of Rhodamine B solution can be degraded by 15 In_2O_3/Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) sample in 30 min.     

Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering of CeB6 at the Ce L(1)- and L(3)-edges

We report a resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) study of crystalline CeB(6). Ce L(α1,2) RIXS was measured with excitation energies resonant with the Ce L(3)-edge. A lifetime-broadening suppressed x-ray absorption near-edge structure (LBS-XANES), which successfully reproduced the L(α1,2) RIXS spectra over wide ranges of excitation and emission energies, was simulated using the SIM-RIXS program. A pre-edge structure in the LBS-XANES can be resolved, and many-body effects were suggested in the L(α1,2) RIXS around the Ce L(3)-edge energy. No convincing signs of Ce (II) or Ce (IV) states were observed in the LBS-XANES. Ce L(γ4) RIXS was measured at 302 K and 28 K with excitation energies across the Ce L(1)-edge. The interactions of p-valence electrons between Ce and B(6) were found to be considerably small, regardless of temperature. Thus, the electronic state of CeB(6) was concluded to be suitably described as a nominally Ce(4f(1))(3+)(e(-))(B(6))(2-) system with some hybridization among all valence orbitals of Ce and B.     

Quaternary Germanides RE3TRh4Ge4 (RE = Ce,Pr, Nd; T = Nb,Ta) – A New Coloring Variant of the Aristotype AlB2

The quaternary germanides RE₃TRh₄Ge₄ (RE = Ce, Pr, Nd; T = Nb, Ta) were synthesized from the elements by arc‐melting and subsequent annealing in a muffle furnace. The structure of Ce₃TaRh₄Ge₄ was refined from single‐crystal X‐ray diffractometer data: new type, Pbam, a = 719.9(2), b = 1495.0(3), c = 431.61(8), wR₂ = 0.0678, 1004 F² values, and 40 variables. Isotypy of the remaining phases was evident from X‐ray powder patterns. Ce₃TaRh₄Ge₄ is a new superstructure variant of the aristotype AlB₂ with an ordering of cerium and tantalum on the aluminum site, whereas the honey‐comb network is built up by a 1:1 ordering of rhodium and germanium. This crystal‐chemical relationship is discussed based on a group‐subgroup scheme. The distinctly different size of tantalum and cerium leads to a pronounced puckering of the [Rh₄Ge₄] network, which shows the shortest interatomic distances (253–271 pm Rh–Ge) within the Ce₃TaRh₄Ge₄ structure. Another remarkable structural feature concerns the tantalum coordination with six shorter Ta–Rh bonds (265–266 pm) and six longer Ta–Ge bonds (294–295 pm). The [Rh₄Ge₄] network fully separates the tantalum and cerium atoms (Ce–Ce > 387 pm, Ta–Ta > 431 pm, and Ce–Ta > 359 pm). The electronic density of states DOS from DFT calculations show metallic behavior with large contributions of localized Ce 4f as well as itinerant ones from all constituents at the Fermi level but no significant magnetic polarization on Ce could be identified. The bonding characteristics described based on overlap populations illustrate further the crystal chemistry observations of the different coordination of Ce1 and Ce2 in Ce₃TaRh₄Ge₄. The Rh–Ge interactions within the network are highlighted as dominant. The bonding magnitudes follow the interatomic distances and identify differences of Ta bonding vs. Ce1/Ce2 bonding with the Rh and Ge substructures.

Vapor species over cerium and samarium trichlorides, enthalpies of formation of (LnCl(3))(n) molecules and Cl-(LnCl(3))(n) ions

A Knudsen effusion cell mass spectrometric technique was used to study vapor species over CeCl(3) and SmCl(3). Monomer, dimer, and trimer (Sm(3)Cl(9)) molecules, and LnCl(4-), Ln(2)Cl(7-), Ln(3)Cl(10-) (Ln = Ce, Sm) negative ions, were observed in saturated vapor in the temperature range 958-1227 K. Partial vapor pressures of neutral constituents were determined and the enthalpies of sublimation (Delta(s)H, 298 K, kJ.mol(-1)) to monomers and associated molecules obtained: 328 +/- 6 (CeCl(3)), 306 +/- 6 (SmCl(3)), 453 +/- 16 (Ce(2)Cl(6)), 408 +/- 12 (Sm(2)Cl(6)), and 468 +/- 40 (Sm(3)Cl(9)). Equilibrium constants for various chemical reactions were measured and the enthalpies of reactions obtained using the second and third laws of thermodynamics. The enthalpies of formation (Delta(f)H, 298 K, kJ.mol(-1)) of molecules and ions have been calculated as follows: -730 +/- 6 (CeCl(3)), -722 +/- 6 (SmCl(3)), -1663 +/- 16 (Ce(2)Cl(6)), -1649 +/- 13 (Sm(2)Cl(6)), -2617 +/- 40 (Sm(3)Cl(9)), -1250 +/- 15 (CeCl(4)(-)), -1252 +/- 15 (SmCl(4-)), -2184 +/- 35(Ce(2)Cl(7-)), -2172 +/- 26 (Sm(2)Cl(7-)), -3183 +/- 43 (Ce(3)Cl(10-)), and -3147 +/- 43 (Sm(3)Cl(10-)).
