A Facile Controllable Synthesis, Growth Mechanism, and Photocatalytic Properties of Nanoscale BiOCl

Nanoscale tetragonal BiOCl samples have been synthesized using Bi[SC12H25]3 and CHCl3 as bismuth and chlorine sources by solvothermal reactions. The structure, morphology, and formation process have been investigated by SEM, TEM, HRTEM, XRD, and EDX analyses. The layered crystal structure feature of BiOCl may induce the growth of nano plates, which can subsequently aggregate into 3D spherical or flower-like microstructures under the presence of ethanol. The reaction temperature and the identity of secondary solvent influence the morphology. The yield of BiOCl depends on the completeness of the reaction and the degree of a competition reduction of BiOCl to Bi by ethanol. The as-synthesized 3D quasi-spherical BiOCl sample has an optical band gap of 3.15 eV, and shows much better photocatalytic performance on the degradation of methyl orange than that of commercial P25.

Synthesis and Photocatalytic Properties of Titanium-Porphyrinic Aerogels

We present novel titanium-porphyrinic gels (TPGs) and titanium-porphyrinic aerogels (TPAs), in which porphyrinic ligand tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin is coordinated to Ti-oxo clusters. These hierarchically porous TPAs, with micro-, meso-, and macropores and reactant-concentration-dependent Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface areas of 407–738 m² g⁻¹, are prepared by CO₂ critical point drying of TPGs. Although the Ti⁴⁺ → Ti³⁺ photoreduction of TPAs is less efficient than that of crystalline microporous Ti-porphyrinic framework DGIST-1, prompt diffusion of O₂ and spin-trapping agents into the TPA pores causes the rapid generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as observed by EPR spectroscopy. When used as an ROS scavenger, large 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran is degraded by the best-performing TPA 10 times faster than by DGIST-1, suggesting that the accessibility of molecules (reactants) to pores (reactive centers) strongly influences photocatalytic activity.

Synthesis, Characterization, Photoluminescence and Photocatalytic Properties of CeO2 Nanoparticles by the Sonochemical Method

Uniform CeO₂ nanoparticles were synthesized via a facile sonochemical reaction between ceric ammonium nitrate and ammonia. Nanoparticles were synthesized via a surfactant free reaction at room temperature in solvent of water. Products were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The effect of different parameters such as precursor, power of pulsation, surfactant and reaction time on the morphology of the products was investigated. It was found that the as-obtained CeO₂ nanoparticles exhibit a strong PL peak at 381 nm at room temperature that can be ascribed to the high level transition in the CeO₂ semiconductor. The photocatalytic behavior of CeO₂ nanoparticles was evaluated using the degradation of a methyl orange aqueous solution under ultraviolet light irradiation. The results show that CeO₂ nanoparticles are promising materials with excellent performance in photocatalytic applications.

Synthesis,Characterization, and Photocatalytic Properties of Ag/TiO2 Composite Nanofibers Prepared by Electrospinning

Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) embedded titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanofibers were fabricated by colloidal sol process, electrospinning, and calcination technique. Calcination of the electrospun nanofibers were heat treated at 600°C for 180 minutes in air atmosphere. X-ray diffraction patterns exhibited that the anatase phase and silver coexisted in the resulted Ag NPs/TiO₂ nanofibers; transmission electron microscopy demonstrated Ag NPs well spread in the porous microstructure of composite fibers. The prepared nanofibers were utilized as photocatalyst for degradation of methyl orange. The degradation rate of methyl orange dye solution containing Ag/TiO₂ composite nanofibers is 99% only after irradiation for 3 hours. It is proposed that these new Ag NPs/TiO₂ composite nanofibers will have potential application in water pollution treatment.      

Controlled Aqueous Growth of Hematite Nanoplate Arrays Directly on Transparent Conductive Substrates and Their Photoelectrochemical Properties

Two‐dimensional (2D) hematite nanoplate arrays were synthesized directly on fluorine‐doped tin oxide (FTO)‐coated glass by using a facile and novel hydrothermal method. High‐temperature annealing retained the morphology of the nanoplate arrays while simultaneously introducing porosity. The thickness and length of the nanoplates could be tailored by adjusting the precursor composition. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) measurements showed that the photocurrent generated with bare hematite nanoplate photoelectrode under backside illumination was about four times of that under frontside illumination in the entire bias range used, which suggested that slow electron transport was a limiting factor for its PEC performance. Upon Sn doping and Co‐Pi co‐catalyst addition, the photocurrent increased significantly owing to the enhancement of electron conductivity and oxidation kinetics. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were conducted to understand the surface properties of the nanoplate arrays. Since this strategy is simple, cost‐effective, and highly reproducible, it provides exciting opportunities for the large‐scale growth of porous 2D metal oxide photoelectrodes for a variety of photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic applications.     

Investigation on the Growth Mechanism of Cu2MoS4 Nanotube,Nanoplate and its use as a Catalyst for Hydrogen Evolution in Water

Cu₂MoS₄ is a ternary transition‐metal sulfide that shows great potential in the field of energy conversion and storage, namely catalytic H₂ evolution in water and Li‐, Na‐ or Mg‐ion battery. In this work, we report on a growth mechanism of the single‐crystalline Cu₂MoS₄ nanotube from (NH₄)₂MoS₄ salt and Cu₂O nanoparticle. By probing the nature and morphology of solid products generated in function of reaction conditions we find that the crystalline Cu(NH₄)MoS₄ nanorod is first generated at ambient conditions. The nanorod is then converted into Cu₂MoS₄ nanotube under hydrothermal treatment due to the Kirkendall effect or a selective etching of the Cu₂MoS₄ core. Extending the hydrothermal treatment causes a collapse of nanotube generating Cu₂MoS₄ nanoplate. The catalytic activities of these sulfides are investigated. The Cu₂MoS₄ shows superior catalytic activity to that of Cu(NH₄)MoS₄. Catalytic performance of the former largely depends on its morphology. The nanoplate shows superior catalytic activity to the nanotube, thanks to its higher specific electrochemical surface area.
