CeO2/NaNbO3复合物的水热合成及其光催化性能的提高

钙钛矿型NaNbO3由于其非线性光学、铁电、离子导电性、高声速、光催化性能和光折变等优良性能而备受关注. 在光催化反应中, 宽禁带宽度(≈ 3.24 eV)使NaNbO3具有较高的导带底(CBM)和较低的价带顶(VBM). 因此, 它表现出强烈的光氧化和光还原能力. 众所周知, 钙钛矿型光催化剂光电子激发和传输能力的增强归因于其较高的对称性. 因此, 具有高对称性的立方NaNbO3有利于电子激发和转移. 但是, 一些固有的缺点, 包括电荷分离效率低、量子产率差和光催化活性差等, 限制了其在光催化领域的实际应用. 为了解决这些问题, 一种有效的方法是与其他半导体结合, 形成具有改善光催化活性的异质结复合物. CeO2作为传统的催化剂在光催化领域得到了广泛研究. CeO2具有稳定、无毒的特点, 是一种n型半导体. 目前, 研究人员已经发现CeO2与不同半导体的耦合可以提高CeO2的光催化活性. 这归因于能级水平的适当匹配.本文通过简易水热法制备了高活性的CeO2/NaNbO3异质结复合物, 并采用X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM, HRTEM)和紫外-可见漫反射光谱(DRS)等表征技术研究了所制光催化剂的物相结构、样品形貌和光学性能. 所制样品的光催化活性通过光催化降解无色抗菌环丙沙星(CIP)和染料罗丹明B(RhB)证实. 结果表明,在紫外和可见光照射, CeO2/NaNbO3复合物比纯NaNbO3具有更高的光催化活性. 此外, CeO2/NaNbO3复合物中CeO2的最佳质量比为2.0 wt%. 紫外光照射下光催化性能的显著提高是由于CeO2/NaNbO3异质结的形成不仅提高了光生电荷在界面范围内的迁移速率, 而且降低了光激发产生的电子和空穴的复合率. 可见光照射下内置电场的存在促进了电子和空穴的分离, 提高了光催化性能. 此外, 利用光致发光(PL)光谱、光电流、电化学阻抗谱和捕获实验证明了样品的光催化反应机理.捕获实验结果表明, ·OH自由基、·O2-自由基和空穴都参与了RhB的光催化降解过程. 最后, 探讨了提高光催化活性的可能机理.     

具有异质结的铋系光催化剂研究进展

由于人类面临的能源危机与环境污染问题日益严重,光催化技术作为最有可能解决这两大问题的技术而备受关注。其中,光催化剂是光催化技术的核心。开发具有宽光谱响应、高载流子分离效率的光催化剂既是研究热点也是难点。铋系光催化剂具有较强的可见光吸收能力。但是,提高铋系光催化剂对入射光的吸收效率、降低光生载流子复合效率仍是提高其光催化活性的关键。目前主要通过以下策略来解决这些问题：(1)贵金属负载,(2)半导体复合,(3)金属/非金属掺杂,(4)碳材料修饰,(5)铋金属负载等。最后还简要探讨了具有异质结的铋系光催化剂的发展趋势及其潜在应用。
　　采用贵金属负载于铋系光催化剂(构建肖特基结),可以通过等离子体共振效应拓宽铋系光催化剂的光吸收范围,同时贵金属还能有效转移半导体上的光生电子,促进光生载流子的有效分离。但是,采用贵金属负载存在昂贵、容易发生团聚等不足。通过半导体之间构建紧密异质结,不仅可以调节所制备复合催化剂的能带结构,满足不同光催化反应的要求,而且由于内电场的存在可以促进光生载流子定向转移,从而提高光生载流子的分离效率。除此之外,通过杂原子掺杂可以在原子层面上构建异质结结构,也能有效抑制光生载流子的复合。近年来,通过与具有较好导电性能的碳材料复合,可以快速转移铋系半导体上产生的光子,提高光催化剂的活性和量子效率。铋纳米颗粒具有与贵金属类似的性能,通过采用铋金属对铋系半导体进行负载也可以发生等离子体共振效应,从而可以提高铋系半导体的活性。最后,作者展望了铋系半导体复合光催化剂发展的三个重要方向：(1)创制非化学计量比的铋系半导体复合光催化材料;(2)通过与还原能力更强的半导体构建复合光催化材料,实现光催化 CO2还原制备有机物和光催化全解水的应用中去;(3)充分利用铋系半导体化合物具有较强氧化能力的优点,将其应用于光催化有机物合成中,比如光催化甲苯类有机物选择性氧化等。     

p-n异质结型光催化剂BiOBr/NaBiO3的制备与可见光催化活性

采用化学蚀刻法在NaBiO3表面利用HBr与NaBiO3的反应原位沉积BiOBr,制备了异质结型光催化剂.利用X射线粉末衍射仪(XRD)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱仪(UV-Vis DRS)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)等对其相结构、微观形貌和光吸收性能进行了表征.光催化实验结果表明,BiOBr/NaBiO3在可见光下可以有效降解罗丹明B(RhB)溶液,当BiOBr与NaBiO3的摩尔比为40.1%时,BiOBr/NaBiO3具有最大催化活性.通过不同牺牲剂的加入及荧光实验结果推测了该异质结型材料光催化过程中光生载流子的传输方向及活性物种.研究结果表明,BiOBr/NaBiO3催化活性的增强主要归结为两者之间形成了有效的异质结,其内建电场能够促进光生载流子的分离,同时h+在光催化降解过程中是主要的活性物种.     

Construction of 2D-2D TiO2 nanosheet/layered WS2 heterojunctions with enhanced visible-light-responsive photocatalytic activity

Constructing nanocomposites that combine the advantages of composite materials, nanomaterials, and interfaces has been regarded as an important strategy to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂. In this study, 2D-2D TiO₂ nanosheet/layered WS₂ (TNS/WS₂) heterojunctions were prepared via a hydrothermal method. The structure and morphology of the photocatalysts were systematically characterized. Layered WS₂ (～4 layers) was wrapped on the surface of TiO₂ nanosheets with a plate-to-plate stacked structure and connected with each other by W=O bonds. The as-prepared TNS/WS₂ heterojunctions showed higher photocatalytic activity for the degradation of RhB under visible-light irradiation, than pristine TiO₂ nanosheets and layered WS₂. The improvement of photocatalytic activity was primarily attributed to enhanced charge separation efficiency, which originated from the perfect 2D-2D nanointerfaces and intimate interfacial contacts between TiO₂ nanosheets and layered WS₂. Based on experimental results, a double-transfer photocatalytic mechanism for the TNS/WS₂ heterojunctions was proposed and discussed. This work provides new insights for synthesizing highly efficient and environmentally stable photocatalysts by engineering the surface heterojunctions.

构建异质结是改善半导体光响应和载流子传输的有效途径之一。采取电喷雾沉积法,在掺氟的二氧化锡玻璃(FTO)上先后制备了WO_(3)和Fe_(2)TiO_(5)纳米结构薄膜,并研究了其作为光阳极的光电催化性能。薄膜表面复杂的微纳米结构有效地增加了对光的捕获能力和化学反应比表面积;二者在界面处形成的异质结有效地抑制了光生载流子的复合,加速了电荷的转移,提升了光电催化水裂解性能。在1.23 V和1.6 V(vs. RHE)处,其光电流密度相比纯Fe_(2)TiO_(5)电极分别提升了1.4和4.6倍。     

Photocatalytic decolouration,degradation and disinfection capability of Ag2CO3/ZnO in natural sunlight

In this study, a series of hybrid Ag₂CO₃/ZnO composites were synthesised via a simple precipitation route and investigated for discolouration-degradation of Methylene Blue and disinfection of Escherichia coli in natural sunlight. It was observed that the photonic efficiency of discolouration was more than 6 times that of the conventionally popular TiO₂, under experimental conditions; 100% Total Organic Carbon reduction was observed in 30 ?min and 32% disinfection in an hour. This upswing in the performance is attributed to favourable modulation of the dynamics of charge transfer. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Brunauer, Emmett and Teller and Ultraviolet–Visible-Near-InfraRed Spectroscopy. An equitable photocatalyst functional mechanism has also been proposed on the basis of Tauc plot and scavenging experiments. The effect of influencing parameters has also been investigated and reported in terms of photonic efficiency. Since the entire study is carried out in direct sunlight, it inherently supports realizable solar energy applications in wastewater treatment.     

CeO2 nanofibers-CdS nanostructures n–n junction with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity

In the present work, the n-cerium (IV) oxide (CeO₂)/n-cadmium sulfide (CdS) composite nanofibers were successfully synthesized via a facile electrospinning and hydrothermal synthesis strategy. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized composite nanofibers were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), photoluminescence (PL), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and Raman spectroscopy analysis. The activities of the CeO₂/CdS were evaluated through the photocatalytic degradation of Rose Bengal (RB) in an aqueous solution under blue LED light radiation. CeO₂/CdS composites exhibit higher photocurrent density in photocurrent response experiment and smaller charge-transfer resistance in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Overall, the results confirmed higher charge separation efficiency in CeO₂/CdS composites compared to pristine CeO₂ nanofibers, and CdS, which is related to intimately contact among the CeO₂, and CdS. The present work provides a new approach to construct n-n heterojunction photocatalysts based on electrospinning and a deeper insight for the photocatalytic degradation activity. In addition, possible degradation mechanism and pathways were proposed according to the identified intermediates.     

异质结型光催化膜的活性及其机理研究

采用浸渍提拉法制得TiO₂,ZnO,Fe₂O₃,ZnO/TiO₂,TiO₂/ZnO,Fe₂O₃/TiO₂和TiO₂/Fe₂O₃石英玻璃基底负载膜.光催化降解亚甲基蓝实验表明,TiO₂和ZnO具有良好的光催化活性,Fe₂O₃活性较差.但形成异质结后,TiO₂和Fe₂O₃的光催化降解能力发生明显的变化.用254nm紫外光光照后,TiO₂,ZnO和Fe₂O₃等3种氧化物膜与水的接触角均有不同程度的降低,TiO₂表现出超亲水性,ZnO/TiO₂和Fe₂O₃/TiO₂膜与水的接触角小于对应的单纯ZnO和Fe₂O₃膜与水的接触角,其中Fe₂O₃/TiO₂表面出现超亲水性.瞬态光电导谱的少数载流子寿命的测定表明,异质结势垒电场能有效地增强光生电子-空穴对的分离效率.根据能带理论建立的两组异质结能带模型可合理地解释实验结果.     

Ag2S/Ag2WO4微米棒的声化学合成、表征及其高光催化性能

TiO2作为一种光催化剂广泛应用于各种污染物的降解.但是它较大的宽禁带(~3.2 eV)导致其很难吸收可见光,因此寻找窄禁带的具有可见光响应的半导体光催化剂成为近年来光催化研究的热点.在众多窄禁带光催化剂中,纯 Ag2S在降解污染物方面并不出色,但是作为一种窄禁带的直接带隙半导体,它在加快电子迁移和提高光量子效率方面表现出色.目前有许多高催化活性的 Ag2S异质结复合半导体光催化剂的报道,如 Ag2Mo3O10-Ag2S, TiO2-Ag2S, ZnS-Ag2S和NiO-Ag2S等. Ag2WO4是一种具有新颖物理化学性质的半导体材料,在催化、传感器、抗菌和光致发光等方面有着广泛应用.但是, Ag2WO4的理论带隙较宽,约为3.5 eV,而且光照下Ag2WO4很容易产生光化学腐蚀而分解出单质银,作为光催化剂存在太阳光利用率低和稳定性较差等缺点.声化学是一种特殊纳米材料的合成方法.它主要是利用超声空化产生特殊的物理化学环境来强化化学键的生成,同时实现半导体从无定形态到固定晶型转变.本文采用超声辅助共沉淀法制备了长为0.2?1μm、直径为20?30 nm的 Ag2S/Ag2WO4微米棒复合光催化剂.利用 X射线衍射(XRD)、N2物理吸附、扫描电镜、透射电镜、光电子能谱、光致发光谱(PL)和紫外-可见漫反射吸收光谱(UV-vis DRS)和光电流等手段对所制 Ag2S, Ag2WO4和 Ag2S/Ag2WO4进行了表征.结果表明,合成的样品比表面积较小(2.7?3.6 m2/g). UV-vis DRS测试表明,声化学处理能有效拓宽 Ag2S/Ag2WO4在可见光区的吸收范围,提高其可见光响应性能.另外, PL和光电流测试结果证实,在声化学制备的 Ag2S/Ag2WO4体系中,光生电子(e?)-空穴(h+)的复合过程被极大地限制,具有较高的 e?-h+分离效率.以金卤灯为光源进行了光催化降解染料亚甲基蓝的性能测试.结果表明,声化学合成的 Ag2S/Ag2WO4的反应速率常数(0.150 min?1)分别为单纯 Ag2WO4(0.031 min?1)和 Ag2S (0.004 min?1)的4.7和29.8倍.自由基捕获实验表明,在 Ag2S/Ag2WO4光催化降解甲基橙过程中主要的活性物种为超氧自由基(?O2?)和光生空穴(h+).此外,声化学合成的 Ag2S/Ag2WO4表现出很好的光催化稳定性.循环使用3次后,该样品对亚甲基蓝的光催化活性仍高达80.4%,而纯 Ag2WO4几乎完全失活. Ag2S/Ag2WO4具有很高的光催化活性的原因,一方面是声化学处理提高了催化剂的结晶度,同时生成了独特的棒状结构;另一方面是在超声作用下, Ag2S和 Ag2WO4两相紧密接触形成异质结,促进了可见光的吸收和光生 e?与 h+的分离.     

NiFe2O4/g-C3N4 heterojunction composite with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity

Spinel structure nickel ferrite (NiFe₂O₄) doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) photocatalyst NiFe₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ was synthesized by the coprecipitation route to enhance the photocatalytic activity for the visible-light driven degradation of methyl orange. The NiFe₂O₄ doping content is responsible for the microstructure and photocatalytic activity of NiFe₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ samples. Compared with pure NiFe₂O₄ and g-C₃N₄, the 2-NiFe₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ composite with NiFe₂O₄ doping of 2.0 wt% exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity and superior stability after five runs for degrading methyl orange under visible light irradiation. The catalytic activity of 2-NiFe₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ sample produced using the coprecipitation route was higher than those of conventional 2-NiFe₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ bulks prepared by the impregnation approach. The prepared samples for the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. It’s ascribed to the synergistic effect between NiFe₂O₄ and g-C₃N₄, which can inhibit the recombination of photoexcited electron-hole pairs, accelerate photoproduced charges separation, and enhance the visible light absorption.
