MoSe2/ZnO/ZnSe复合物用于高效可见光催化还原Cr（Ⅵ）（英文）

半导体光催化还原Cr(VI)为Cr(III)被认为是一种能够解决环境和能源问题的绿色技术.典型光催化剂ZnO和TiO2在还原重金属离子和二氧化碳,降解有机污染物,分解水等领域均已被证明是一种有潜力的光催化剂.但是,它们窄的太阳能吸收范围和快的光生载流子复合限制了其实际应用.因此,探索能够响应可见光的高效光催化剂是非常急切的课题.研究表明,引入窄带半导体构筑异质结复合光催化剂是一种提高ZnO和TiO2可见光催化活性的有效途径.随着二维石墨烯研究的热潮,具有类石墨烯结构的材料,如过渡金属硫化物MX2(M=Mo,W,Nb,Ta,Zr;X=S,Se)以其独特的“三明治夹心”层状结构受到了研究者的高度重视.在这些MX2材料中,MoS2是间接带隙半导体,能带为1.2 eV,并且随着层数的减小,能带增加到1.8 eV,因此,它对可见光具有很好的吸收能力.MoS2具有比表面积大、吸附能力强、反应活性高等优异的物理和化学性能,被广泛应用于光催化、制氢反应、太阳能电池及锂离子电池等领域.类似于MoS2,MoSe2也应该是一种具有潜力的窄带光催化剂.不幸的是,对于MoSe2在光催化还原Cr(VI)中的应用,还鲜有报道.本文基于ZnO,ZnSe和MoSe2构筑复合光催化剂,由于它们存在阶梯型的能级结构,使得此复合物能够展现优异的可见光催化性能,这是一种提高ZnO可见光催化活性的有效方法.扫描电子和高分辨透射电子显微镜结果显示,ZnO和ZnSe纳米颗粒分散在二维MoSe2片周围,形成很好的界面接触,有利于光生电子-空穴对的快速转移和分离,促进光催化反应的进行.紫外可见吸收光谱结果表明,MoSe2/ZnO/ZnSe(ZM)复合物在可见光区域展现了很好的吸收.电化学阻抗谱和光电流响应曲线结果表明,ZM复合物中光生载流子复合被有效抑制,延长了其寿命.光催化还原Cr(VI)的实验结果发现,与纯ZnO相比,ZM复合物展现了优异的光催化活性.在可见光照射180 min后,ZM复合物对Cr(VI)的还原率达到100%.优异的光催化活性归因于其优异的可见光吸收、阶梯型能级结构和光生载流子的有效转移.光催化重复性实验和X射线衍射图结果表明,在光催化反应之后ZM复合物的结构没有发生变化,具有良好的稳定性.本工作可为进一步设计具有理想功能的二维复合光催化剂提供有价值的信息.     

WOx/TiO2光催化剂的可见光催化活性机理探讨

采用磁控溅射技术在用浸渍提拉法制得的TiO2薄膜上,溅射氧化钨层,通过气相反应中光催化降解二甲苯的实验表明,WOx/TiO2薄膜具有可见光活性.通过UV-Vis吸收光谱、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)等方法对其可见光活性的机理进行探索.UV-Vis吸收光谱表明WOx,TiO2对可见光响应的范围有一定的扩展,吸收强度增加.XPS表明WOx/TiO2薄膜表面形成了明显的W杂质能级和Ti缺陷能级,这是WOx/TiO2在可见光范围有一吸收的主要原因,也是光催化剂具有可见光活性的必要条件之一,同时杂质能级的存在使半导体费米能级上移,载流子增加,光催化效率提高.

Synthesis of a hydrophilic α-sulfur/PDA composite as a metal-free photocatalyst with enhanced photocatalytic performance under visible light

The polydopamine (PDA) coating α-S hydrophilic composites (S_D) were fabricated by a self-assembly process for enhanced α-S photocatalytic performance under visible light. The XRD patterns analysis indicated that we had successfully prepared the orthorhombic α-S. The SEM, FT-IR and TGA showed that PDA had been successfully coated on α-S. The photocatalytic ability was illustrated by the DRS and FL. Moreover, the measurement of the water contact angle of S_D and the corresponding original α-S (S_A) showed the hydrophilicity of α-S had been improved. The photocatalytic ability of S_D and S_A was evaluated by photocatalytic decomposition of Methylene blue (MB) solution. The MB elimination rate with S_D in the photocatalytic process was 2.46 times as great as that with S_A under visible light. The enhanced photocatalytic ability could be attributed to the improved hydrophilicty of α-S.

Synthesis of S-doped Sb_2O_3 Visible Light-driven Photocatalyst and Its Facets-dependent Performance for the Degradation of Methyl Orange

S-doped Sb_2O_3 nanocrystals were synthesized using SbCl3 and thioacetamide(TAA) as starting materials by a hydrothermal method and the effects of TAA dosage on the composition and properties of resultant nanocrystals were determined.Their photocatalytic performance was evaluated using the degradation of methyl orange(MO) as a model reaction.The results suggest that TAA dosage can affect the preferential growth direction of Sb_2O_3,and further influences its photocatalytic activity.S doping can extend the optical absorption edge of Sb_2O_3 to the visible light religion,and thus endows its ability to photocatalyze the degradation of MO under visible light illumination.Based on these results,the correlations between the photocatalytic activity of S-doped Sb_2O_3 and the ratio between exposed facets,specific surface area and crystallographic defects were discussed.     

A Facile One‐Pot Synthesis of Layered Protonated Titanate Nanosheets Loaded with Silver Nanoparticles with Enhanced Visible‐Light Photocatalytic Performance

Layered protonated titanate nanosheets (LPTNs) loaded with silver nanoparticles are prepared by a simple one‐pot hydrothermal route in silver‐ammonia solution. The as‐synthesized Ag‐loaded LPTNs possess large specific surface area. The Ag nanoparticles are highly dispersed on the surface of the LPTNs. They have negligible effects on the crystal structure, crystallinity, and surface area of the LPTNs but result in considerable enhancement of visible‐light absorption and in a red‐shift of the band gap for the LPTNs. The Ag‐loaded LPTNs show enhanced photocatalytic activity for both liquid‐ and gas‐phase reactions under visible‐light irradiation. Moreover, the photocatalytic activity first increases gradually with increasing Ag loading content, and then decreases after maximizing at an optimal Ag content. At the Ag loading content of 2.87 mol % and 1.57 mol %, the Ag‐loaded LPTNs exhibit the highest visible‐light photocatalytic activity for degradation of rhodamine B in water and mineralization of benzene in air, respectively. An alternative possible mechanism for the enhancement of the visible‐light photocatalytic activity is also proposed.

The results indicate that the photocatalytic ability of catalysts is improved, especially the ability of visible light response. The results of UV-Vis DRS show that the response wavelength range of N-dopped nitrogen is red shifted, the absorption region is expanded to 476 nm.

Control of Spatially Homogeneous Distribution of Heteroatoms to Produce Red TiO2 Photocatalyst for Visible-Light Photocatalytic Water Splitting

The strong band-to-band absorption of photocatalysts spanning the whole visible-light region (400–700 nm) is critically important for solar-driven photocatalysis. Although it has been actively and widely used as a photocatalyst for various reactions in the past four decades, TiO₂ has a very poor ability to capture the whole spectrum of visible light. In this work, by controlling the spatially homogeneous distribution of boron and nitrogen heteroatoms in anatase TiO₂ microspheres with a predominance of high-energy {001} facets, a strong visible-light absorption spectrum with a sharp edge beyond 680 nm has been achieved. The red TiO₂ obtained with homogeneous doping of boron and nitrogen shows no increase in defects like Ti³⁺ that are commonly observed in doped TiO₂. More importantly, it has the ability to induce photocatalytic water oxidation to produce oxygen under the irradiation of visible light beyond 550 nm and also the photocatalytic reduction of water to produce hydrogen under visible light. These results demonstrate the great promise of using red TiO₂ for visible-light photocatalytic water splitting and also reveal an attractive strategy for realizing the wide-spectrum visible-light absorption of wide-band-gap oxide photocatalysts.     

Mechanistic studies of the photocatalytic oxidation of trichloroethylene with visible-light-driven N-doped TiO2 photocatalysts

Visible-light-driven TiO2 photocatalysts doped with nitrogen have been prepared as powders and thin films in a cylindrical tubular furnace under a stream of ammonia gas. The photocatalysts thus obtained were found to have a band-gap energy of 2.95 eV. Electron spin resonance (ESR) under irradiation with visible light (lambda > or = 430 nm) afforded the increase in intensity in the visible-light region. The concentration of trapped holes was about fourfold higher than that of trapped electrons. Nitrogen-doped TiO2 has been used to investigate mechanistically the photocatalytic oxidation of trichloroethylene (TCE) under irradiation with visible light (lambda > or = 420 nm). Cl and O radicals, which contribute significantly to the generation of dichloroacetyl chloride (DCAC) in the photocatalytic oxidation of TCE under UV irradiation, were found to be deactivated under irradiation with visible light. As the main by-product, only phosgene was detected in the photocatalytic oxidation of TCE under irradiation with visible light. Thus, the reaction mechanism of TCE photooxidation under irradiation with visible light clearly differs markedly from that under UV irradiation. Based on the results of the present study, we propose a new reaction mechanism and adsorbed species for the photocatalytic oxidation of TCE under irradiation with visible light. The energy band for TiO2 by doping with nitrogen may involve an isolated band above the valence band.

BiOI@La(OH)3纳米棒异质结制备及其增强可见光催化去除NO性能

一维La(OH)3纳米棒具有特殊的电子结构和多功能特性,特别是作为半导体光催化剂引起了人们极大的兴趣.但La(OH)3禁带宽度较大,且只能吸收紫外光,所以光催化效率较低,可见光利用能力较差,限制了La(OH)3的实际应用.因此,需要开发一种高效的改进方法来提高La(OH)3的可见光催化性能.本课题组发展了一种有效的改进La(OH)3方法,通过简易的方法将BiOI纳米颗粒沉积在La(OH)3纳米棒上,有效增强了对可见光的吸收能力和光生载流子的分离能力.本文采用X射线衍射(XRD)、透射电镜(TEM)、扫描电镜(SEM)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)、荧光光谱(PL)、光电子能谱(XPS)、电子自旋共振(ESR)、N2吸附和元素分析等手段研究了BiOI@La(OH)3纳米棒异质结的构建原理及增强可见光催化性能的原因.XRD和XPS结果表明,通过简易化学沉积法原位构建了BiOI@La(OH)3异质结,并且在异质结中没有杂相生成.由SEM图像可见,原始La(OH)3由分散的一维纳米棒组成,平均直径为30–50 nm.通过BiOI与La(OH)3表面的紧密接触成功构建异质结,但BiOI纳米颗粒未改变La(OH)3纳米棒的形貌.由TEM和HRTEM图像可见,La(OH)3纳米棒的平均长度为30–50 nm,并且在BiOI@La(OH)3异质结中可以清晰看出BiOI和La(OH)3之间紧密接触的界面和晶格间距.N2物理吸附结果显示,随着BiOI量的增加,BiOI@La(OH)3异质结的比表面积增加,但孔体积未现明显变化.UV-Vis DRS结果显示,引入BiOI后明显促进了La(OH)3对可见光的吸收能力和利用效率,从而有利于增强可见光催化活性.通过理论计算分别得到BiOI和La(OH)3的价带和导带位置,表明具有非常匹配的能带结构可以促进BiOI光生电子的有效转移.可见光催化去除NO测试结果表明,BiOI@La(OH)3异质结的光催化活性高达50.5%,明显优于BiOI和La(OH)3.ESR测试结果显示,BiOI@La(OH)3异质结可见光催化活性中起主要作用的活性物种是?OH.结合表征结果,BiOI@La(OH)3纳米棒异质结可见光催化性能增强的原因主要有三个:(1)BiOI@La(OH)3异质结增大的比表面积有利于反应物和产物在催化剂表面扩散,同时可提供更多活性位点参与光催化反应;(2)禁带宽度影响光催化效率,当BiOI与La(OH)3达到合适比例时,既可以促进可见光吸收,也可以使光生电子具有较强还原能力;(3)BiOI@La(OH)3异质结有利于光生载流子的分离,从而显著提高其光催化活性.
