以单斜相V2O5·xH2O纳米线为前驱物,在温和条件下合成出V2O5·xH2O-BiVO4复合光催化剂.为理解产物的物相含量、形貌和光催化性质随合成时间延长而变化的情况,利用X射线衍射仪、场发射扫描电子显微镜、紫外-可见漫反射光谱仪以及光催化性质测试实验对三个典型的V2O5·xH2O-BiVO4样品(分别在反应6、12和24 h获得)进行了研究.分析结果表明:V2O5·xH2O-BiVO4纳米复合材料由V2O5·xH2O纳米线和BiVO4纳米晶组成,并且随合成反应时间的延长,产物中V2O5·xH2O纳米线的含量逐渐减少而BiVO4纳米晶的含量逐渐增加.光催化性质测试结果表明:V2O5·xH2O-BiVO4复合光催化剂在可见光(λ>400 nm)辐射下降解亚甲基蓝时表现出了提高的光催化效率,其中在反应12 h获得的V2O5·xH2O-BiVO4样品体现出最好的光催化活性,这可能是由于其适当的组分含量和特殊的微结构有利于半导体激发和染料激发两种光催化机理的协同作用.     

静电自组装制备纳米TiO2/SiO2光催化材料

采用静电自组装方法制备了纳米TiO2/SiO2光催化材料。采用巯丙基三甲氧基硅烷偶联剂对SiO2进行干法改性,采用双氧水/冰醋酸将偶联剂巯基基团氧化为磺酸基基团。在正负电荷的吸引下,带负电荷的SiO2与带正电荷的钛聚合阳离子自发地组装在一起,经一定温度热处理得到纳米TiO2/SiO2光催化材料。采用XRD、FTIR、PL、UV-Vis DRS、SEM和ICP等对材料进行了分析和表征。采用甲基橙溶液评价材料的光催化性能。结果表明:SiO2促使锐钛矿的形成,抑制锐钛矿向金红石的转变,减小TiO2的晶粒尺寸,使得TiO2光吸收波长发生蓝移。TiO2与SiO2通过Si-O-Ti键发生结合。采用静电自组装方法制备的材料中TiO2的含量高于传统方法,导致材料的光催化性能有所提高。     

磁性可见光催化剂BiVO4/Fe3O4的制备及催化活性

采用超声法将磁基体Fe3O4和BiVO4复合,制备了易于固液分离的磁性可见光催化剂BiVO4/Fe3O4。采用X射线衍射(XRD)、傅立叶转换红外光谱(FTIR)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(DRS)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和磁学性质测量系统(MPMS)对产物进行了表征,并以亚甲基蓝为目标降解物,考察了BiVO4/Fe3O4的可见光催化活性。当BiVO4与Fe3O4质量比为5:1时,BiVO4/Fe3O4的催化活性最高,反应经过5 h,对亚甲基蓝的降解率达到92.0%,而单独使用BiVO4为催化剂,降解率仅为72.5%。这表明Fe3O4不仅起到磁基体的作用,还起到助催化剂的作用。BiVO4/Fe3O4在外加磁场的作用下很容易被分离,撤消外加磁场后,通过搅拌又可重新分散。BiVO4/Fe3O4 3次回收后的降解率仍高于80%。

Zinc oxide nanoparticles reinforced conducting poly(aniline-co-p-phenylenediamine) nanocomposite

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal decomposition method and formation of composite with conducting copolymer via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the nanoparticles with an average diameter of 15–25?nm were dispersed in the copolymer matrix. The comonomer molecules were adsorbed on the surface of ZnO particles and then polymerized to form core–shell nanocomposite. The obtained nanocomposite showed a significant improvement in the thermal behavior as indicated by thermogravimetric analysis. The nanocomposite was also confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Room temperature conductivity of nanocomposite was higher than the value obtained for the pure copolymer. Photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite was evaluated by measuring the degradation of methylene blue dye under UV irradiation.     

Additive-free controllable fabrication of bismuth vanadates and their photocatalytic activity toward dye degradation

Bismuth vanadates (BiVO₄) with various crystal structures (tetragonal scheelite, monoclinic scheelite, and tetragonal zircon) and morphologies (sphere-, nanosheet-, dendrite-, and flower-like) were controllably fabricated by using a mild additive-free hydrothermal treatment process under the different preparation conditions. The crystal structures, morphologies, and photophysical properties of the products were well-characterized. Subsequently, their UV- as well as visible-light photocatalytic performance was evaluated via dyes rhodamine B (RB) and methylene blue (MB) degradation. Special attention was paid to evaluate the correlation of the reactivity with crystal structure, morphology, and electronic structure of as-prepared BiVO₄ samples.

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理平面波赝势方法, 运用Vasp方法计算了Eu, N掺杂及Eu/N共掺杂锐钛矿TiO₂的结构, 并分析了其电子及光学性质. 通过计算发现有一些Eu的4f态电子在Eu掺杂锐钛矿TiO₂的体系的费米能级附近出现杂质能级, 并且N掺杂会使得锐钛矿TiO₂的禁带宽度减小. 对于共掺杂体系而言, Eu/N共掺杂的协同效应能导致锐钛矿TiO₂的晶格畸变及禁带宽度减小. 与此同时, 计算得到的光吸收谱表明Eu/N混合掺杂锐钛矿TiO₂展现出了明显的光谱吸收边缘红移. 这些计算结果表明Eu/N共掺杂锐钛矿TiO₂具有优良的光催化活性. 关键词： 2')" href="#">TiO₂ 共掺杂 可见光催化剂 密度泛函理论     

A Polypyridyl‐Based Layered Complex as Dual‐Functional Co‐catalyst for Photo‐Driven Organic Dyes Degradation and Water Splitting

With the ever‐increasing concerns on environmental pollution and energy crisis, it is of great urgency to develop high‐performance photocatalyst to eliminate organic pollutants from wastewater and produce hydrogen via water splitting. Herein, a polypyridyl‐based mixed covalent Cu^I/II complex with triangular {Cu₃} and rhombic {Cu₂Cl₄} subunits alternately extended by mixed SCN^– and Cl^– heterobridges [Cu₄(DNP)(SCN)Cl₄]_n ( 1 ) [DNP = 2,6‐bis(1,8‐naphthyridine‐2‐yl)pyridine] was solvothermally synthesized and employed as a dual‐functional co‐photocatalyst. Resulting from a narrowed band‐gap of 1.07 eV with suitable redox potential and unsaturated Cu^I/II sites, the complex together with H₂O₂ can effectively degrade Rhodamine B and methyl orange up to 87.4 and 88.2 %, respectively. Meanwhile, the complex mixed with H₂PtCl₆ can also accelerate the photocatalytic water splitting in the absence of a photosensitizer with the hydrogen production rate of 27.5 μmol · g^–1 · h^–1. These interesting findings may provide informative hints for the design of the multiple responsive photocatalysts.

Sb₂WO₆/g-C₃N₄复合材料的这种高度增强的光催化活性主要归因于强的界面相互作用促进了光生电子-空穴分离和迁移. 添加自由基清除剂的实验结果表明, ·O^2-和h⁺是光催化反应中的主要活性物质. Sb₂WO₆/g-C₃N₄复合材料在几个反应周期内表现出优异的稳定性. 根据实验结果提出了一种可能的Z型光催化机理.
