Antibacterial photocatalytic self‐cleaning poly(vinylidene fluoride) membrane for dye wastewater treatment

Membrane technology has been successfully applied for the removal of dyes from wastewater in the textile industry. A novel poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane was prepared via blending with different dosages of Ag‐TiO₂‐APTES composite for dyeing waste water treatment in our study. And the effect of Ag‐TiO₂‐APTES blended into the PVDF membrane was discussed, including the rejection rate of methylene blue (MB) dye, membrane morphology, surface hydrophilicity, antibacterial activity, and a certain photocatalytic self‐cleaning performance. X‐ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared characterization confirmed that Ag‐TiO₂ was functionalized by amount of hydroxyl group (−OH) and amino group (NH−), which provided by APTES. Contact angle measurement certified that the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface increased, with the contact angle decrease to 61.4° compared with 81.8° of original PVDF membrane. MB rejection rate was also increased to 90.1% after addition of Ag‐TiO₂‐APTES, and the rejection of original membrane was only 74.3%. The morphologies of membranes were observed by scanning electron microscope, which indicated that Ag‐TiO₂‐APTES had a good dispersion in membrane matrix and also improved the microstructure of membranes. Besides, UV irradiation experiments were performed on the composite films contaminated by MB, and the result showed that Ag‐TiO₂‐APTES nanoparticle provided PVDF membrane with a certain photodegradation capacity under UV irradiation. Moreover, antibacterial activity of the composite membrane was also demonstrated through antibacterial experiment, Escherichia coli as the representative bacteria. Perhaps, this research may provide a new way for PVDF blending modification.

Reversible adsorption change of 2‐amino‐4,5‐imidazoledicarbonitrile on Ag electrode surfaces by potential‐dependent surface‐enhanced Raman scattering

The potential‐induced adsorption change of 2‐amino‐4,5‐imidazoledicarbonitrile (AIDCN) on Ag electrode surfaces has been examined by surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in an applied potential range between ?1.0 and 0.2 V. Upon adsorption, AIDCN has a substantial interaction with the Ag metal surfaces via its two nitrile groups. The CN stretching peaks at ～2200 cm^?1 appeared to be more intensified and redshifted at a negative potential. The deconvolution peak analysis of the CN bands at various voltages suggests that there should be a change in binding modes of AIDCN on Ag surfaces. This potential‐dependent orientation change appeared to be reversible. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation of AIDCN on Ag cluster atoms is used to explain its potential‐dependent adsorption. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

F‐doped Ag/AgBr with enhanced visible‐light photocatalytic activity and mechanism

Novel F‐doped Ag/AgBr photocatalysts containing various amounts of F^? were synthesized by an ion exchange method. The photocatalysts were characterized using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopies, X‐ray photoelectron, ultraviolet–visible absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopies and electron spin resonance (ESR). Powder XRD revealed that F^? was inserted into the crystal lattices of AgBr and partially replaced Br^?, resulting in the contraction of the AgBr lattices. Methyl orange photodegradation experiments showed that the photocatalytic activity of F‐doped Ag/AgBr was significantly dependent on the amount of F^?. Ag/AgBr doped with 0.02 M F^? achieved the highest activity of 91% after 8 min. ESR showed the main active species in methyl orange degradation was ^?OH. The main enhancement mechanism is that F^? inhibits the recombination of electron–hole pairs.     

载Ag二氧化钛纳米管的制备及其光催化性能

Titania nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of rutile-phase TiO2 nanoparticles in 10 mol·L-1NaOHsolution at 110 ℃ for 24 h. The Ag loaded titania nanotubes (Ag/TNTs) were obtained by chemical deposition method with the TNTs suspending in the AgNO3 solution (pH=8) at 50 益. The characterizations of the as-synthesized samples were performed by TEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, and UV-Vis spectra. The photocatalytic performance of the Ag/TNTs was investigated by UV-light induced photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange(MO). The results showed that the inner/outer diameters of TNTs were about 6/10 nm and the length was several hundred nanometers. Both the shape and the crystalline of the nanotubes were not changed after the modification. The zero oxidation state Ag quantumdots, about 4 nmin diameter, were well dispersed on the external surface of the nanotubes. Ag/TNTs exhibited enhanced absorption at the visible range in the UV-Vis spectra. The Ag nanoparticles were found to significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanotubes, and the catalyst system was demonstrated to be highly efficient for the UV-light induced photocatalytic decomposition of MO compared to both rutile-phase TiO2 nanoparticles and pure TNTs. After irradiation for 60 min, the decomposition rates of MO solution in rutile-phase TiO2 nanoparticles, TNTs, and Ag/TNTs systemwere 46.8%, 57.2%, and 92.2%, respectively.

Sensitive and Selective Fluorescent and Colorimetric Sensor for Ag+ Based on the Supramolecular Self‐Assembly in Semi‐Water

Specific recognition of ultratrace levels of ions in semi‐water using super‐quicker methods is still a challenge for environmental monitoring. Herein we report a fluorescent and colormetric sensor ( ZH ) based on supramolecular self‐assembly, whose structure was destroyed by the addition of ultratrace of silver ions. The process promoted either naked eye visible color changes or fluorescence intensity quenched in conjunction with a wide pH range. Systematic studies revealed very high selectivity (0.07 µmol/L) for silver ions, and other common cations, e.g ., Hg²⁺, Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ had nearly no influence on the sensing behavior. This sensor also served as a multiple use of component in sensing materials by addition of I⁻ into the mixture of ZH and Ag⁺ (about 5 times). What's more, ZH containing filter paper emerged distinct color and fluorescence changes upon exposure to silver (Ag⁺), which could be used as a portable method to undertake field testing for Ag ⁺ .

The investigation of Ag decorated double‐wall hollow TiO2 spheres as photocatalyst

In this paper, a novel TiO₂ nanosheets assembled double‐wall hollow sphere (DHS)has been prepared successfully via hydrothermal treatment of SiO₂@TiO₂ with the assistant of CTAB.The prepared samples are characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron spin resonance (ESR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and X‐ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), etc.Results show that redeposited silica species play a key role in the formation of the double‐wall structure. The as‐synthesized DHS nanostructure exhibits a large surface area (417.6 m² g^‐1) and excellent mechanical strength. Furthermore, after decoration of Ag and calcination treatment, the double‐shelled TiO₂/Ag heterostructures show an enhanced photocatalytic performance in the degradation of RhB under UV or visible light irradiations for the following reasons: the surface plasmon resonance effect of Ag, strong interaction between Ag and TiO₂ nanosheets, large surface area, excellent adsorption capacityand unique double‐wall structure. On the basis of the experimental results, a possible mechanism for pollutantdegradation under visual light irradiation has been proposed.

A Visible‐Light‐Induced α‐H Chlorination of Alkylarenes with Inorganic Chloride under NanoAg@AgCl

An efficient, photocatalytic chlorination of alkylarene α‐H groups using NaCl/HCl as a chlorine source has been developed, which involves a radical mechanism under visible‐light (including sunlight) conditions. A chlorine radical is proposed to be formed by an electron transfer from chloride ion to O₂ in air through the bandgap hole of the semiconductor AgCl. The chlorination protocol is characterized by its use of natural sunlight or other visible light, mild conditions, cheap source of chlorine, green solvent, and high selectivity. The yield of benzylchloride is 95 % with a toluene conversion as high as 40 %, which rivals traditional chlorination methods.
