PHOTOCATALYTIC HYDROGEN EVOLUTION FROM WATER SPLITTING UNDER VISIBLE LIGHT IRRADIATION ON NOVEL PHOTOCATALYST FULLENES-PVP-ZN0.999NI0.001S

Fullerenes (C60/C70) linked up to Ni-doped ZnS through the medium of an amphalic polymer polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) to form a new kind of photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution from aqueous Na2S/Na2SO3 solution under visible light irradiation, the photocatalytic activities of this novel photocatalyst C60/C70-PVP-Zn0.999Ni0.001S are 3-5 fold higher compared with that of precurse catalyst Zn0.999Ni0.001S. This result could be attributed to Schottky barrier layer built between C60/C70 and Zn0.999Ni0.001S due to the electro-negativity of C60 and characteristic of being used as a multiple electron acceptor. C60 or C60/C70, its moiety, with its low energy first excited singlet state, is a good energy acceptor and in addition readily accepts multiple electrons, making it a potential electron accumulate as we know, which could protect the separation between electrons and holes against combination. This is an important reason for the marked increase of amount of H2 evolution during the photocatalytic process for the composite system C60/C70-PVP-Zn0.999Ni0.001S.     

Online photocatalytic device for highly selective pre-column fluorescence derivatization of 5-hydroxyindoles with benzylamine

A fluorimetric liquid chromatographic method for the determination of 5-hydroxyindoles based on the benzylamine derivatization process mediated through an online photocatalytic oxidation has been developed. In this study, we used a photocatalytic column comprising tefzel tubing packed with TiO₂-coated glass beads, as a pre-column derivatization reactor. The fluorescence derivatization of 5-hydroxyindoles using benzylamine proceeded during their passage through the reaction column under near-UV irradiation. The 5-hydroxyindole derivatives were separated continuously on a reversed-phase liquid chromatography within 50 min, using 100 mM acetate buffer (pH 4.6)-acetonitrile (72:28, v/v; isocratic elution) containing 3 mM sodium octanesulfonate; the samples were detected fluorimetrically at 465 nm upon excitation at 350 nm. The detection limits (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) of the 5-hydroxyindoles were in the range from 160 to 360 fmol per 5 μL injection. We have applied this method, which requires minimal sample pre-treatment, to the determination of 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid in human urine.     

Exploration of silver decoration concentration to enhance photocatalytic efficiency of titanium dioxide photocatalysts

Ag decoration on TiO₂ is favorable to absorption of visible light and wider absorption range. Ag nanoparticles playing the role of electron receivers on TiO₂ surface enhance photodegradation. However, excess Ag nanoparticles caused reduced specific surface area of photocatalysts and increased probability of charge recombination, resulting in lower photocatalytic efficiency. In this study, the influence of various Ag decoration concentrations on photocatalytic activity was investigated. Surface treatment by nitric acid after Ag decoration was performed to avoid excessive Ag deposition. The extent of Ag elimination and its impacts on photocatalytic activity were also explored. An optimum Ag content in the photocatalyst was achieved and photocatalytic efficiency was obviously improved. It was found that the number of calcination times affected the crystallinity and stability of photocatalysts. Better photocatalytic efficiency could be obtained after twice calcinations.

Euphorbia polygonifolia extract assisted biosynthesis of Fe3O4@CuO nanoparticles: Applications in the removal of metronidazole,ciprofloxacin and cephalexin antibiotics from aqueous solutions under UV irradiation

In this study, a new, economical and green method was reported for synthesizing Fe₃O₄@CuO nanoparticles without adding any surfactants using Euphorbia polygonifolia extract as a renewable, mild and safe reducing agent and effective stabilizer. The green synthesized NPs were analyzed by various methods such as XRD, FESEM, FT-IR, EDS, VSM, UV–visible, DRS, BET and TGA-DTA. Based on the BET analysis, the Fe₃O₄@CuO NP had a surface area of 69.20 m²/g. The FTIR analysis verified the existence of different functional groups of phytochemicals from Euphorbia polygonifolia extract which were accountable for the NPs formation. The catalytic performance of the catalyst for the degradation of metronidazole, ciprofloxacin and cephalexin antibiotics was examined in aqueous mediums at room temperature. The results showed an extraordinary catalytic performance, easy reusability and long-term stability of the composite for reducing antibiotic pollution. In this process, the effects of environmental conditions such as initial pH of the environment, initial concentration of antibiotics, the concentration of modified photocatalyst and reaction time were studied. According to the results, at the optimal conditions, the highest removal efficiency for metronidazole, ciprofloxacin and cephalexin antibiotics using Fe₃O₄@CuO nanoparticles, were 89%, 94%, and 96%, respectively. Also, it was observed that even after recycling, the NPs presents good nanocatalytic stability for the degradation of antibiotics. Using the NPs for five cycles did not significantly alter the photocatalyst efficiency, showing that the photocatalytic stability of the NPs was excellent.     

Synthesis and Photocatalytic Properties of Nano‐crystalline In2O3

A nano‐crystalline In₂O₃ was synthesized using calcinations methods and was used as a photocatalyst to degrade sulfan blue (SB) dye. In addition, this study addresses the conditions of the degradation and the factors that influenced the catalysis. In₂O₃ was prepared by calcining In(OH)₃ at heat ranges of 100–700 °C for 24 h. The In₂O₃ was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), an X‐ray diffractometer (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and high‐resolution X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HR‐XPS). The activities of these samples were tested for the photocatalytic degradation of SB dye. The results indicated that the In(OH)₃ that was calcined at 300 °C for 24 h had the best performance.
