Magnetic retrievable Ag/AgBr/ZnFe2O4 photocatalyst for efficient removal of organic pollutant under visible light

In the present work, a visible-light-driven Ag/AgBr/ZnFe₂O₄ photocatalyst has been successfully synthesized via a deposition–precipitation and photoreduction method. The crystal structure, chemical composition, morphology and optical properties of the as-prepared nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscope, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and photoluminescence. The photocatalytic activities of the Ag/AgBr/ZnFe₂O₄ nanocomposites were evaluated through the photodegradation of gaseous toluene and methyl orange (MO) under visible light. The results revealed that the as-prepared Ag/AgBr/ZnFe₂O₄ nanocomposite exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity. The degrading efficiency of MO could still reach 90% after four cycles, and the Ag/AgBr/ZnFe₂O₄ nanocomposite could be recycled easily by a magnet. Additionally, the enhanced photocatalytic mechanism was discussed according to the trapping experiments, which indicated that the photo-generated holes (h⁺) and •O₂⁻ played important roles in photodegradation process. At last, a possible photocatalytic oxidation pathways of toluene was proposed based on the results of GC–MS. The Ag/AgBr/ZnFe₂O₄ composites showed potential application for efficient removal of organic pollutant.     

Preparation of high‐activity AgBr/Ag3PO4 photocatalyst based on hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and mechanism of photocatalytic enhancement

A high‐activity AgBr/Ag₃PO₄ heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized based on hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. Its microspheres were characterized using X‐ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy and ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The new photocatalyst with high photocatalytic activity exceptionally outperforms pure Ag₃PO₄ and AgBr in methyl orange degradation. The enhancement of photocatalytic activity is attributed to the efficient separation of electron–hole pairs. In this photocatalytic reaction, h⁺ and ^?O^2? are the main reactive species that induce visible‐light‐driven degradation.     

(AgBr)6结构计算及对计算方法的依赖

利用HF、B3LYP方法分别结合LANL2DZ,CEP-121G赝势基组及3-21G*全电子基组对(AgBr)6的可能异构体进行结构优化。结果显示,HF、B3LYP方法在各基组水平上优化的(AgBr)6基态结构并不完全一致,表明(AgBr)6结构计算对计算方法具依赖性。对优化后能量始终较低的5个结构,进一步采用MP2方法结合上述基组进行高精度的结构优化。确定(AgBr)6基态结构为双三角形环重叠结构,并计算了该结构的红外光谱。     

异质结型AgBr/CuO光催化剂的合成、光崔化活性及再生

采用沉淀法制备了具有p-n异质结结构的AgBr/CuO可见光催化剂,对其结构进行了表征,通过甲基橙溶液的降解率评价了AgBr/CuO的光催化活性,并通过活性物种测试及能带结构分析推测了其光催化机理,采用3％(质量分数)溴水对使用后的AgBr/CuO进行了再生处理.结果表明,在可见光照射下,0.1gAgBr/CuO光催化剂30 min对甲基橙溶液(初始浓度为15 mg/L)的降解率高达92％,远高于同等条件下的AgBr.AgBr/CuO光催化活性提高的原因是AgBr与CuO的复合一方面使催化剂的禁带宽度变宽,提高了光生电子与光生空穴的氧化还原能力;另一方面,在两者之间形成了p-n型异质结结构,有利于光生电子的转移及光生电子与空穴的分离.采用绿色环保的溴水再生法可显著恢复催化剂的光催化活性.

Point defect and diffusion properties in oxides from high temperature creep

A study of high temperature creep properties of non-stoichiometric CU₂O, CoO and NiO has been performed at various temperatures and oxygen activities (Po ₂). Creep rates are directly related to point defects responsible for the diffusion of the slowest species. These point defects have been tentatively identified by the Po₂ dependence of creep rate which does not depend on the detailed mechanism of deformation.     

The second-order elastic constants of an AgBr-(56.6%) AgCl mixed crystal from 20°C to 400°C

Abstract

Initial measurements of the second-order elastic constants of an AgBr-(56.6%) AgCl mixed crystal have been made from 20—400°C. Over this temperature range, C'₁₁ decreased by 44%, C' by 71%, C₄₄ by 22%, C₁₁ by 53%, C₁₂ by 40%, and B _s by 46%. The decreases in the elastic constants are linear until approximately 280°C, whereupon all but C' begin to decrease more rapidly than linearly with variations from linearity of 4—20% at 400°C and C' remains linear at all temperatures. This anomalous behavior is similar to other silver halide physical properties and may be attributed to the unusually high defect concentration at high temperatures. Similar elastic constant changes are seen in superionic conductors near the superionic transition, indicating that the silver halides may be starting the transition to a superionic state when the halide sublattice melts and the transition is frustrated.     

异质结型AgBr/CuO光催化剂的合成、 光催化活性及再生

采用沉淀法制备了具有p-n异质结结构的AgBr/CuO可见光催化剂, 对其结构进行了表征, 通过甲基橙溶液的降解率评价了AgBr/CuO的光催化活性, 并通过活性物种测试及能带结构分析推测了其光催化机理, 采用3%(质量分数)溴水对使用后的AgBr/CuO进行了再生处理. 结果表明, 在可见光照射下, 0.1 g AgBr/CuO光催化剂30 min对甲基橙溶液(初始浓度为15 mg/L)的降解率高达92%, 远高于同等条件下的AgBr. AgBr/CuO光催化活性提高的原因是AgBr与CuO的复合一方面使催化剂的禁带宽度变宽, 提高了光生电子与光生空穴的氧化还原能力; 另一方面, 在两者之间形成了p-n型异质结结构, 有利于光生电子的转移及光生电子与空穴的分离. 采用绿色环保的溴水再生法可显著恢复催化剂的光催化活性.
