硫化镉反蛋白石光子晶体制备及光解水制氢

对硫化镉反蛋白石结构光子晶体薄膜进行了可控合成,用巯基乙酸修饰的纳米晶和P(St-MMA-SPMAP)高分子小球共组装,成功地构筑了反蛋白石结构并用于可见光光解水产氢。结果表明,在可见光(λ≥420 nm)照射下,Cd S-310反蛋白石结构薄膜的光解水产氢性能比硫化镉纳米颗粒提高了一倍。这主要是因为等级孔结构反蛋白石光子晶体特性对催化剂的光催化性能的提升:首先,反蛋白石的周期性结构增加了光子在材料中的传播,提高了催化剂对太阳光的利用率;同时,大孔孔壁是由纳米颗粒堆积而成的,在反应中提供了更多的反应活性位点;此外,孔结构有利于物质的传输和分子的吸附。

Structure transition and photoluminescence of CdS/Si nanoheterostructure array on thermal annealing

CdS/Si heterojunctions have been prepared through growing CdS nanocrystallites (nc-CdS) on the silicon nanoporous pillar array (Si-NPA) by the chemical bath deposition method. Cadmium nanocrystallites (nc-Cd) have been observed and ascribed to the reducibility of Si-NPA. The reason for the appearance of CdO is indistinct and the related work will be done in the future. The blue, green and red emissions are ascribed to the silicon oxide layer, band gap of nc-CdS and the sulphur vacancies, respectively. Redshift and blueshift with the annealing temperature about green emissions are contributed to quantum size effect and the structure transition from nc-Cd to CdO. It is beneficial for investigating the structures and defects to the application of CdS/Si in the optoelectronic field.     

Degradation of rhodamine B photocatalyzed by Eu-doped CdS nanowires illuminated by visible radiation

CdS nanowires doped with different contents of Eu dopant were synthesized by solvothermal method. XRD, SEM, TEM and Raman analyses certified that the as-synthesized samples were hexagonal CdS uniform nanowires. The pure CdS nanowires were 1–3 ?μm long and 80 ?nm diameter with the 1st and 2nd order longitudinal phonon modes at 298 and 594 ?cm^?1. The 3% Eu-doped CdS wires were 800 ?nm–2.5 ?μm long and 75 ?nm diameter with the 1st and 2nd order longitudinal phonon modes at 296 and 593 ?cm^?1. CdS nanowires grew along the [001] direction due to the surface energy effect. The photocatalytic properties of CdS and Eu-doped CdS nanowires were investigated for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) illuminated by visible radiation. In this research, Eu dopant played the role in promoting the photocatalytic kinetics because Eu³⁺ ions act as an electron acceptor to promote charge separation and photocatalytic activity. Both ^●OH and ^●O₂^? were the main active radicals used to transform RhB molecules into CO₂, H₂O and other intermediates.     

核壳结构CdS@C纳米复合材料的光催化性能研究

采用水热碳化法成功制备了不同碳含量的CdS@C纳米颗粒,同时对CdS@C的晶体结构、形貌、光学性能、光电化学和光催化性能进行了研究。实验结果表明本方法制备的碳包覆CdS纳米颗粒外壳为碳层,内核为六方纤锌矿结构CdS颗粒。CdS@C颗粒分散性良好,颗粒形貌主要为类球形,粒度均匀。X射线光电子能谱(XPS)证实CdS@C颗粒表面负载的碳主要以非晶碳形式存在。紫外-可见光光谱(UV-Vis)表明CdS@C纳米晶中表面碳的敏化作用提高了可见光响应范围,使得能隙变窄。光致发光光谱(PL)表明碳包覆CdS@C纳米颗粒的发光强度比纯CdS弱,有效抑制了光生载流子的复合。瞬态光电流响应和电化学阻抗谱(EIS)说明CdS@C纳米复合材料更有效促进电子-空穴对分离和提高转移效率。CdS@C纳米复合材料在可见光辐射下表现出良好的光催化活性和稳定性,其中·O₂^-和h⁺在光催化中起主要作用。     

Synthesis and characterization of ternary nanocomposites of TiO2/rGO/CdS as an efficient catalyst for photo-degradation of methyl orange

Novel ternary composite photocatalysts have been successfully prepared by TiO₂ nanofibers, reduced graphene oxide, and CdS nanoparticles (TiO₂/rGO/CdS) by using electrospinning technique with easy chemical methods. The structures and their properties are examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The structural characterization of the composite reveals that pure TiO₂ NFs and CdS NPs crystalline very well and the reduced graphene oxide is tightly composed with TiO₂ NFs and CdS Nps. The photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) under UV light illumination is significantly enhanced compared with that of bare materials. This ternary composite degrades methyl orange within 75 min. The enhanced photocatalytic degradation performance resulted from effective separation of e–h pairs with rGO sheets and also contributed for high rate degradation efficiency. This novel ternary composite has a potential application of wastewater purification and utilization for energy conversions.     

New glass ceramics: an effective conjunction of wet chemistry synthesis and sintering

A glass with CdS nanoparticles was used simultaneously as a matrix for Ce-doped garnet and a yellow-red phosphor to prepare luminescent glass ceramics for the sources of white light. CdS nanoparticles compensate for the unbalanced Ce³⁺ emission spectrum of the composite material due to the addition of a red component. The synthesized composite material can be a tunable light converter due to altered luminescence spectra by changing the sintering conditions and excitation wavelength     

Photovoltammetric behavior and photoelectrochemical determination of p-phenylenediamine on CdS quantum dots and graphene hybrid film

A photoelectroactive film composed of CdS quantum dots and graphene sheets (GS) was coated on F-doped SnO₂ (FTO) conducting glass for studying the electrochemical response of p-phenylenediamine (PPD) under photoirradiation. The result indicated that the cyclic voltammogram of PPD on CdS–GS hybrid film became sigmoidal in shape after exposed under visible light, due to the photoelectrocatalytic reaction. Such a photovoltammetric response was used to rapidly optimize the photoelectrocatalytic activity of hybrid films composed of different ratios of CdS to GS toward PPD. The influences of scan rate and pH on the photovoltammetric behavior of PPD on CdS–GS film revealed that although the controlled step for electrochemical process was not changed under photoirradiation, more electrons than protons might participate the photoelectrocatalytic process. Furthermore, the photoelectroactive CdS–GS hybrid film was explored for PPD determination based on the photocurrent response of film toward PPD. Under optimal conditions, the photocurrent signal on CdS–GS film was linearly proportional to the concentration of PPD ranging from 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ to 3.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹, with a detection limit (3S/N) of 4.3 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹. Our work based on CdS–GS hybrid film not only demonstrated a new facile photovoltammetric way to study the photoinduced electron transfer process of PPD, but also developed a sensitive photoelectrochemical strategy for PPD determination.
