Polyhedral AgBr microcrystals with an increased percentage of exposed {111} facets as a highly efficient visible-light photocatalyst

Synthesis of inorganic single crystals with exposed high-reactivity facets is a desirable target in the catalytic chemistry field. Polyhedral AgBr microcrystals with an increased percentage of exposed high-reactivity {111} facets have been successfully prepared for the first time, and the photocatalytic performance of these microcrystals when used as an AgBr/Ag plasmonic photocatalyst was investigated. The results indicate that the as-prepared sample has high photocatalytic activity and, under the same measurement conditions, the photodegradation rate of methyl orange dye over these microcrystals is at least four times faster than with other shapes of AgBr/Ag microstructure, as well as 20?times faster than with the highly efficient Ag(3)PO(4) photocatalyst. DFT calculations suggest that the AgBr (111) surface is mainly composed of unsaturated Ag atoms and has a relatively high surface energy, both of which are favorable for enhancing the photocatalytic activity of the AgBr/Ag polyhedron photocatalyst. This work not only provides a highly efficient plasmonic photocatalyst of polyhedral AgBr/Ag microcrystals with an increased percentage of exposed high-reactivity AgBr {111} facets, but also demonstrates that the shape and crystalline quality of the exposed facets have an important influence on the photocatalytic activities.     

钡掺杂中空磷酸银光催化剂的选择性及稳定性

半导体光催化材料既可以利用太阳能催化分解水制氢和降解各种有机污染物,同时还可以将温室气体CO2还原成有机低碳烷烃燃料,因此光催化是解决当今能源和环境问题最理想的途径之一.然而,目前所报道的可见光光催化材料大多具有较高的光生载流子复合率和较差的可见光吸收,导致其量子效率较低.因此,开发新型高效可见光光催化材料,拓展半导体材料光谱响应范围以及促进光生电子和空穴有效分离,成为目前光催化材料研究领域急需解决的科学问题.2010年Ye等首次报道了Ag3PO4在光催化中的应用,该材料表现出优异的光催化分解水制氧及降解有机污染物性能,在光吸收波长大于420 nm时的量子效率达到90%.然而,作为一种新型光催化材料,其组成、结构和晶面等对光催化性能的影响尚不清楚.因此,我们开展了Ag3PO4半导体纳米材料的表面微观结构调控研究,创制了一系列具有特殊形貌和选择暴露晶面的Ag3PO4基可见光催化材料,其表现出独特的光催化氧化性能.例如,利用金属络合法制备了具有(100),(110),(111),(221)和(332)等晶面的Ag3PO4晶体,发现通过调控其暴露晶面可进一步提高光催化性能.利用Ag纳米材料所具有的独特表面等离子体共振效应以及良好的导电性,构建了Ag/Ag3PO4核壳型纳米线、项链状Ag/Ag3PO4纳米线、项链状及均匀分布的Ag3PO4/PAN纳米复合纤维等异质光催化材料,提高了光生电子-空穴的分离效率,实现了有机污染物的高效催化氧化消除.然而,由于Ag3PO4在光催化反应过程中的稳定性较差以及成本较高,严重限制了其实际应用.因此,设计和制备具有高稳定性、低成本的Ag3PO4光催化材料成为目前急需开展的研究领域.本文以Ba3(PO4)2纳米片为模板和磷酸离子源,通过阳离子置换法一步制备了具有中空结构的Ba离子掺杂Ag3PO4光催化材料. 光催化结果表明, Ba离子的掺杂不但可以有效提高Ag3PO4光催化活性,并且可改变降解有机污染物甲基橙(MO)和罗丹明B(RhB)的选择性,实现优先降解MO.另外,此法制备的Ag3PO4材料经重复使用多次后仍表现出较高的光催化性能.进一步研究表明, Ba离子掺杂增强了Ag3PO4的表面电负性,因而吸附具有负电性的MO能力增加,使其光催化性能提高,此外,该法还可用于制备Ba3(PO4)2/Ag3PO4复合光催化材料,当Ag3PO4含量为40%时,该复合材料具有与纯相Ag3PO4相同的光催化剂活性.由此可见,通过合理掺杂金属离子及形成复合结构可以有效提高Ag3PO4光催化材料的活性和稳定性,降低Ag3PO4用量,这对Ag3PO4光催化材料的设计与改进具有一定指导意义.     

Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3 p-n异质结复合光催化剂的制备及增强的可见光催化性能

半导体光催化氧化技术作为一种“绿色技术”,被广泛应用于环境污染物治理和太阳能转化领域.高效、稳定、可回收利用的催化剂的开发是光催化技术发展的一个重要方向. Ag系半导体光催化剂因在可见光分解水制氢及降解有机污染物等方面表现出优异的催化性能而广受关注.然而,该催化剂失活快制约了其应用.因此,提高Ag系半导体材料的光催化稳定性成为近年来研究的一个热点.研究发现,在半导体的表面或者界面形成p–n异质结是提高催化剂光催化性能和稳定性的有效途径.理论上讲,当p型半导体和n型半导体形成p–n结以后,在两种半导体接触边缘的附近处存在着正、负空间电荷分列两边的偶极层,产生了从n型半导体指向p型半导体的内建电场.内建电场的存在使得p型半导体与n型半导体之间产生了电位差,即内建电势差.这种电势差能够有效促进电子和空穴的分离,达到光生电子和空穴对分离、转移和传递的目的,从而抑制电子和空穴的复合,提高光催化效率. Ag2CO3是p型半导体,其导带为0.21 eV,价带为2.83 eV; Ag3PO4是n型半导体,其导带为0.43 eV,价带为2.86 eV.两者能带结构匹配,能形成p–n异质结.因此,本文采用简单的共沉淀法,制备了不同比例的Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3复合光催化剂,并通过X射线衍射、透射电镜、X射线光电子能谱、紫外-可见漫反射光谱以及瞬态光电压谱等对其进行了表征.透射电镜照片显示,粒径较小的Ag3PO4颗粒均匀的分布在粒径较大的Ag2CO3周围. P元素和C元素的摩尔比接近于投料比. Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3复合催化剂的吸收光谱体现出两种催化剂的混合特征,在可见光区的吸收强度增加.瞬态光电压表征不仅证实了Ag2CO3是p型半导体, Ag3PO4是n型半导体,更说明了40%-Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3复合光催化剂的载流子寿命较长.罗丹明B(RhB)的降解实验证实40%-Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3(Ag3PO4与Ag2CO3的摩尔比为40%：60%)复合催化剂的光催化效率最高,500 W氙灯(附加420 nm截止波长的滤光片)照射15 min后, RhB就能被完全降解,而纯的Ag3PO4和Ag2CO3对RhB的降解率只有40%和10%.循环实验发现,前两次循环中由于单质银的生成导致催化剂活性下降,但从第三次循环开始其催化活性趋于稳定.此外,还通过添加草酸钠(空穴的清除剂)、异丙醇(羟基自由基的清除剂)和对苯醌(超氧自由基的淬灭剂)等来判断光催化过程中起主要作用的活性自由基.实验证实空穴是Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3光催化剂在降解RhB过程中产生的主要活性自由基物种. Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3光催化剂相对于单纯的Ag3PO4和Ag2CO3有更高的空穴产生能力.当可见光照射到复合催化剂表面时, Ag2CO3导带上的激发电子能够快速转移到Ag3PO4的导带上,同时Ag3PO4价带上的光生空穴能够快速转移到Ag2CO3的价带上. p–n结的形成提高了光生电子和空穴的分离效率,抑制了电子和空穴的再结合,因此,复合光催化剂光催化降解效率提高.综上所述, Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3之间能形成有效p–n结,40%-Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3复合光催化剂表现出最佳的光催化性能.

Z型Ag3PO4/Ag2MoO4异质结光催化剂构建和光催化降解有机污染物

作为一种绿色技术,半导体光催化氧化广泛应用于环境污染物治理和太阳能转化领域.高效、稳定、可回收利用催化剂的开发是光催化技术发展的一个重要方向.Ag系半导体光催化剂因在可见光分解水制氢及降解有机污染物等方面表现出优异的催化性能而广受关注.然而,该催化剂失活快,制约了其应用.因此,提高Ag系半导体材料的光催化稳定性成为近年研究热点.在各种Ag基光催化剂中,Ag3PO4光催化剂因其在可见光下光氧化水产生O2以及有机染料的光催化分解中有着高的量子效率,引起了人们广泛关注.如何进一步提升Ag3PO4光催化剂性能及在光催化过程中的稳定性成为研究焦点,包括Ag3PO4光催化剂的特殊形貌和晶体结构控制生长以及复合材料控制制备.但是Z型Ag3PO4基可见光催化剂的构筑仍然是一个挑战.本文利用Ag2MoO4和Ag3PO4的溶液相反应法合成了Z型Ag3PO4/Ag2MoO4复合光催化剂,通过Ag3PO4/Ag2MoO4异质结光催化剂在可见光下降解罗丹明B(RhB)、亚甲基橙(MO)、亚甲基蓝(MB)和苯酚研究了其光催化性能,采用X射线衍射(XRD)、能谱、傅立叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、拉曼光谱、场发射扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM)以及紫外可见漫反射光谱(UV-vis)等手段表征了该催化剂.XRD,FTIR和拉曼光谱结果表明,复合材料由Ag3PO4,Ag2MoO4和单质银组成,表面成功合成了Z构型Ag3PO4/Ag/Ag2MoO4复合材料.SEM结果发现纯Ag3PO4是规则的球状,纯Ag2MoO4则是多面体状块的颗粒,在Ag3PO4/Ag2MoO4复合材料中可以看到规则的球状体Ag3PO4和Ag2MoO4纳米颗粒,并且随着Ag2MoO4含量的增加,Ag3PO4颗粒的尺寸逐渐减小.UV-vis结果发现Ag2MoO4的加入拓展了复合材料对可见光的吸收范围.光催化性能测试结果表明,8%Ag2MoO4/Ag3PO4在可见光下具有优异的光催化性能:可见光照射5 min,RhB,MO和MB的降解效率分别可达95%,97%和90%.复合材料样品经过4个循环实验后,其降解RhB的效率仍然保持在84%,证明了其具有较高的稳定性.为了进一步研究Ag3PO4/Ag2MoO4的光催化机理,我们用对苯醌、乙二胺四乙酸二钠和丁醇进行了捕捉剂实验.结果表明,超氧自由基和光生空穴在降解有机染料过程中起主要作用.通过光电流测试、复合材料价带导带位置计算以及循环过程样品XRD分析并结合文献结果认为,Z构型Ag3PO4/Ag/Ag2MoO4异质结光催化体系以及可见光照射初期金属Ag纳米颗粒的生成是其具有高光催化活性和稳定性的原因.     

基于Ag3PO4的全固态Z型光催化体系研究进展

随着现代工业的迅猛发展,人类面临的能源危机和环境污染问题日益严重.光催化剂技术有望利用太阳能同时解决这两大问题,其关键在于设计高效的光催化体系.传统光催化材料TiO2具有价廉、活性高及稳定性好等优点,然而其带隙宽(Eg=3.2 eV),仅能利用占太阳光谱约4%的紫外光,从而限制其利用太阳能.可见光占太阳光谱的40%以上,因此开发可见光响应的光催化材料成为光催化领域研究焦点.2010年,叶金花课题组报道了Ag3PO4在可见光照射下可高效分解水产氧及降解水体中有机污染物,从而使其迅速成为研究热点.Ag3PO4是目前为止报道的光量子效率最高的可见光响应的催化材料,带隙能在2.3~2.5 eV范围内,其高效的光催化活性归结于其独特的电子结构利于光生电荷的分离及转移.然而,由于Ag3PO4本身易光蚀,稳定性差,必然限制其实际应用.近年来,为在进一步提升Ag3PO4活性的基础上增强稳定性,研究者通过多种方法对其进行修饰,包括贵金属沉积、碳材料修饰、负载及半导体异质复合等.相对于前面几种修饰方法,半导体复合相对高效且成本低.半导体复合主要构成II型异质结构和Z型光催化体系.II型异质结构由于内建电场的存在可以促进光生电荷的定向转移,从而提高光生电荷的分离效率,进而提高光催化活性.然而,这种电荷的定向迁移会降低光生电荷的氧化还原能力.模拟绿色植物的光合作用过程,一种全固态Z型光催化体系应运而生,其是将两种导带和价带位置匹配的可见光驱动的催化剂分别作为光催化系统I(PS I)和光催化系统II(PS II),同时选用导电性能优良的材料(Ag,Au和RGO等)作为电子介体.可见光照条件下,PS I和PS II均被激发产生电子和空穴,PS II导带上的电子通过电子介质与PS I价带空穴复合,一方面抑制了PS I和PS II本身电子和空穴的复合,另一方面保留了PS I导带电子的强还原性和PS II价带空穴的强氧化性.另外,PS I和PS II紧密结合形成具有准连续能级的固-固接触界面,PS II导带上的电子直接与PS I价带空穴复合,形成无电子介体的直接Z型光催化体系.Ag3PO4价带顶相对靠下,氧化能力强,往往作为PS II组分,其与导带顶相对靠上的催化剂(PS I)构成Z型体系,这样Ag3PO4导带电子可与PS I的价带空穴复合,减弱电子对Ag3PO4本身的还原,提高其稳定性;另一方面,Ag3PO4价带空穴可参与氧化反应.基于Ag3PO4的Z型体系主要以Ag作为电子介体,归因于在制备及光催化过程中原位产生的少量Ag可直接作为电子介体.此外,还原氧化石墨烯(RGO)也可作为电子介体,并且其存在可进一步提高Ag3PO4的稳定性.需要指出的是,基于Ag的等离子体共振效应,Ag3PO4基等离子体Z型光催化体系也受到关注.目前,Z型光催化体系处在发展阶段,必然存在一些问题,比如,II型异质光催化体系与直接Z型光催化体系如何区分,有待进一步研究.另外,报道的基于Ag3PO4的Z型体系主要用来光催化降解水体中的有机污染物,催化剂的回收再利用受到限制,今后可开发磁性Ag3PO4基Z型体系,解决回收再利用的问题;另外,通过能带调控,可将基于Ag3PO4的Z型体系多用于光催化产氢、还原CO2及处理有害气体.     

MoSe2/Ag3PO4复合材料的制备及其可见光降解罗丹明B的光催化性能

通过原位沉积法合成了一种光催化活性强、稳定性高的MoSe2/Ag3PO4复合材料。MoSe2/Ag3PO4形成的异质结构能有效分离光生电子-空穴对,从而提高光催化活性。光生电子从Ag3PO4表面向MoSe2的转移降低了Ag+向金属Ag的可能性。当MoSe2和Ag3PO4的质量分数为1∶5(最优组合)时,MoSe2/Ag3PO4在可见光照射下30 min内降解RhB效率达98%,并且经过4次重复试验,其可见光照射下RhB降解效率仍可达到89%。通过液相色谱/质谱(LC/MS)技术测定光催化过程中产物的变化,提出了MoSe2/Ag3PO4光催化降解RhB的途径。     

Polyhedral AgBr Microcrystals with an Increased Percentage of Exposed {111} Facets as a Highly Efficient Visible‐Light Photocatalyst

Synthesis of inorganic single crystals with exposed high‐reactivity facets is a desirable target in the catalytic chemistry field. Polyhedral AgBr microcrystals with an increased percentage of exposed high‐reactivity {111} facets have been successfully prepared for the first time, and the photocatalytic performance of these microcrystals when used as an AgBr/Ag plasmonic photocatalyst was investigated. The results indicate that the as‐prepared sample has high photocatalytic activity and, under the same measurement conditions, the photodegradation rate of methyl orange dye over these microcrystals is at least four times faster than with other shapes of AgBr/Ag microstructure, as well as 20 times faster than with the highly efficient Ag₃PO₄ photocatalyst. DFT calculations suggest that the AgBr (111) surface is mainly composed of unsaturated Ag atoms and has a relatively high surface energy, both of which are favorable for enhancing the photocatalytic activity of the AgBr/Ag polyhedron photocatalyst. This work not only provides a highly efficient plasmonic photocatalyst of polyhedral AgBr/Ag microcrystals with an increased percentage of exposed high‐reactivity AgBr {111} facets, but also demonstrates that the shape and crystalline quality of the exposed facets have an important influence on the photocatalytic activities.     

Z-机制磷酸银/钨酸铋复合物的构建及其可见光催化降解有机污染物(英文)

环境危害不仅对人类健康构成巨大威胁,而且也阻碍了经济社会的快速发展.光催化剂通过利用太阳能来降解污染物为环境问题提供一条理想的途径.光催化剂的制备应该考虑以下几点:(1)对可见光响应;(2)高量子效率和稳定性;(3)安全、廉价、无毒的原材料.早期的一些催化剂如二氧化钛、氧化锌、硫化锌、锗酸锌和磷酸铋等在紫外线照射下表现出优秀的光催化活性.但是紫外光是稀有的,而且对人体健康有害.近年来,对宽带隙半导体的改性如掺杂、贵金属沉积、构建异质结或固溶体催化剂取得了有效进展.遗憾的是,受限于材料的固有属性,有限的改进仍然不能满足实际应用的需求.因此,探索高效稳定的可见光驱动的光催化剂依然是十分有意义的.磷酸银在可见光下表现出超强的光催化降解有机污染物和产氧的能力,但是磷酸银容易受到光腐蚀,光催化活性和稳定性很难维持.另外,磷酸银导带上的电子电势较正,这将导致其很难在光催化过程中被利用.而磷酸银导带上电子的积累会抑制其内部电子空穴对的分离,从而对磷酸银的光催化活性和稳定性造成不利影响.本文选择钨酸铋纳米片与磷酸银复合去抑制电子空穴对的复合和进一步提高磷酸银的活性和稳定性.样品的粉末X射线衍射、能谱和X光电子能谱的分析证实了磷酸银/钨酸铋复合物已经被成功合成.稳态荧光光谱证实了磷酸银/钨酸铋复合物的构建可以作为一种有效抑制电子和空穴对复合的手段.通过对样品进行光催化降解次甲基蓝的实验,我们发现磷酸银/钨酸铋复合材料展现出比磷酸银和钨酸铋更强的光催化活性.其中,磷酸银/钨酸铋光催化降解次甲基蓝的速率为0.61385 min~(-1),这是磷酸银(0.47179 min~(-1))和钨酸铋(0.10270 min~(-1))活性的1.3和6.0倍.同时,磷酸银/钨酸铋表现出耐久的稳定性,在连续五次光降解过程中几乎没有明显的活性损失.进一步通过对磷酸银/钨酸铋复合材料进行光催化活性成分的捕获实验,我们发现空穴、超氧负离子自由基和羟基自由基都发挥了一定的作用.最后,我们讨论了光催化机制,Z-机制光催化机制被认为是合理的.     

Bandgap engineering of tetragonal phase CuFeS2 quantum dots via mixed-valence single-atomic Ag decoration for synergistic Cr(VI) reduction and RhB degradation

Bandgap engineering through single-atom site binding on semiconducting photocatalyst can boost the intrinsic activity, selectivity, carrier separation, and electron transport. Here, we report a mixed-valence Ag(0) and Ag(I) single atoms co-decorated semiconducting chalcopyrite quantum dots (Ag/CuFeS₂ QDs) photocatalyst. It demonstrates efficient photocatalytic performances for specific organic dye (rhodamine B, denoted as RhB) as well as inorganic dye (Cr(VI)) removal in water under natural sunlight irradiation. The RhB degradation and Cr(VI) removal efficiencies by Ag/CuFeS₂ QDs were 3.55 and 6.75 times higher than those of the naked CuFeS₂ QDs at their optimal pH conditions, respectively. Besides, in a mixture of RhB and Cr(VI) solution under neutral condition, the removal ratio has been elevated from 30.2% to 79.4% for Cr(VI), and from 95.2% to 97.3% for RhB degradation by using Ag/CuFeS₂ QDs after 2 h sunlight illumination. The intrinsic mechanism for the photocatalytic performance improvement is attributed to the narrow bandgap of the single-atomic Ag(I) anchored CuFeS₂ QDs, which engineers the electronic structure as well as expands the optical light response range. Significantly, the highly active Ag(0)/CuFeS₂ and Ag(I)/CuFeS₂ effectively improve the separation efficiency of the carriers, thus enhancing the photocatalytic performances. This work presents a highly efficient single atom/QDs photocatalyst, constructed through bandgap engineering via mixed-valence single noble metal atoms binding on semiconducting QDs. It paves the way for developing high-efficiency single-atom photocatalysts for complex pollutions removal in dyeing wastewater environment.

Self-assembly of two- and three-dimensional coordination networks with hexamethylenetetramine and different silver(I) salts

Interesting two-dimensional networks with square or hexagonal cavities, and three-dimensional networks with different channels, have been obtained by varying the counterions, the molar ratio of metal to hmt (hmt = hexamethylenetetramine) and the pH values of the initial solutions. Among the eleven products isolated and structurally characterized, two have a metal-to-hmt molar ratio of 2:1 and are the first examples of Ag-hmt square networks, namely [Ag2(mu4-hmt)(NO2)2] (1) and [Ag2(mu4-hmt)(SO4)(H2O)].4H2O (2), two have a metal-to-hmt molar ratio of 1:1 and are 2-D networks with hexagonal cavities, namely [Ag(micro3-hmt)(NO2)] (3) and [Ag2(micro3-hmt)2](S2O6).2H2O (4), and seven present the metal-to-hmt molar ratios of 3:1, 2:1, 3:2, or 4:3 and are 3-D networks of novel topologies and with different channels, namely [Ag2(mu4-hmt)(micro4-ox)] (5), [Ag3(micro4-hmt)2(H2O)2](SO4)(HSO4). 2H2O (6), [Ag2(mu4-hmt)(mu2-O2CMe)](MeCO2).4.5 H2O (7), [Ag2(mu4-hmt)(mu3-maleate)].5H2O (8), [Ag3(mu4-hmt)(mu2-O2CPh)3] (9), [Ag4(mu4-hmt)3(H2O)](SO4)(NO3)2.3H2O (10), and [Ag12(mu4-hmt)6(mu3-HPO4)(mu2-H2PO4)3(H2PO4)7(H2O)](H3PO4).10.5H2O (11).     

玻璃微珠/Ag/TiO2可见光催化剂的制备与表征

Highly efficient visible-light-induced photocatalytic activity of nanostructured AgI/TiO2 photocatalyst

Nanostructured AgI/TiO(2) photocatalyst was synthesized by a feasible approach with AgNO(3), LiI, and Ti(OBu)(4) and characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, angle-dependent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffusive reflectance UV-vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller technique. The results of characterization reveal that the nanostructured AgI/TiO(2) has a novel core/shell/shell nanostructure of AgI/Ag-I(2)/TiO(2). Compared with TiO(2) (P25) supported AgI, the formation of the nanostructure results in substantial shifting of the absorption edge of AgI to red, enhancement of the absorption intensity, and the appearance of a strong tail absorption above 490 nm, which is assigned to the absorption of I(2) and Ag. Photocatalytic tests show that the nanostructured AgI/TiO(2) photocatalyst exhibited very high visible-light-induced photocatalytic activity for the photodegradation of crystal violet and 4-chlorophenol, which is 4 and 6 times higher than that of P25 titania supported AgI, respectively. The highly efficient visible-light-induced photocatalytic activity of the nanostructured AgI/TiO(2) is attributed to its strong absorption in the visible region and low recombination rate of the electron-hole pair due to the synergetic effect among the components of AgI, Ag, I(20, and TiO(2) in the nanostructured AgI/TiO(2).     

Vibrational analysis of Ag3(PO2NH)3, Na3(PO2NH)3 x H2O, Na3(PO2NH)3 x 4H2O,

FT IR and FT Raman spectra of Ag3(PO2NH), (Compound 1), Na3(PO2NH)3 x H2O (Compound II), Na3(PO2NH)3 x 4H2O (Compound III), [C(NH2)3]3(PO2NH)3 x H2O (Compound IV) and (NH4)4(PO2NH)4 x 4H2O (Compound V) are recorded and analyzed on the basis of the anions, cations and water molecules present in each of them. The PO2NH- anion ring in compound I is distorted due to the influence of Ag+ cation. Wide variation in the hydrogen bond lengths in compound III is indicated by the splitting of the v2 and v3 modes of vibration of water molecules. The NH4 ion in compound V occupies lower site symmetry and exhibits hindered rotation in the lattice. The correlations between the symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations of P-N-P bridge and the P-N-P bond angle have also been discussed.

Highly Efficient Visible Light Plasmonic Photocatalyst Ag@Ag(Br,I)

The new plasmonic photocatalyst Ag@Ag(Br,I) was synthesized by the ion‐exchange process between the silver bromide and potassium iodide, then by reducing some Ag⁺ ions in the surface region of Ag(Br,I) particles to Ag⁰ species. Ag nanoparticles are formed from Ag(Br,I) by the light‐induced chemical reduction reaction. The Ag@Ag(Br,I) particles have irregular shapes with their sizes varying from 83 nm to 1 μm. The as‐grown plasmonic photocatalyst shows strong absorption in the visible light region because of the plasmon resonance of Ag nanoparticles. The ability of this compound to reduce Cr^VI under visible light was compared with those of other reference photocatalyst. The plasmonic photocatalyst is shown to be highly efficient under visible light. The stability of the photocatalyst was examined by X‐ray diffraction and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The XRD pattern and XPS spectra prove the stability of the plasmonic photocatalyst Ag@Ag(Br,I).     

Single-crystal growth and characterization of disilver(I) monofluorophosphate(V), Ag2PO3F: crystal structure, thermal behavior, vibrational spectroscopy, and solid-state 19F, 31P, and 109Ag MAS NMR spectroscopy

Single crystals of disilver(I) monofluorophosphate(V), Ag2PO3F (1), were obtained by slow evaporation of a diluted aqueous Ag2PO3F solution. Compound 1 adopts a new structure type and crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with eight formula units and lattice parameters of a = 9.2456(8) A, b = 5.5854(5) A, c = 14.7840(13) A, and beta = 90.178(2) degrees. The crystal structure of 1 [R(F2 > 2sigma(F2) = 0.0268, wR(F2 all) = 0.0665] is composed of three crystallographically independent Ag+ cations and PO3F2- anions as single building units. The oxygen environment around each of the Ag+ cations is different, with one Ag+ in distorted octahedral (d(Ag-O) = 2.553 A), one in nearly rectangular (d(Ag-O) = 2.445 A), and one in distorted tetrahedral (d(Ag-O) = 2.399 A) coordination. Additional Ag-F contacts to more remote F atoms located at distances >2.80 A augment the coordination polyhedra for the two latter Ag+ cations. The monofluorophosphate anion deviates slightly from C3v symmetry and exhibits the characteristic differences in bond lengths, with a mean of 1.510 A for the P-O bonds and one considerably longer P-F bond of 1.575(2) A. Compound 1 was further characterized by vibrational spectroscopy (Raman and IR) and solid-state 19F, 31P, and 109Ag MAS NMR spectroscopy. The value for the isotropic one-bond P-F coupling constant in 1 is 1JPF = -1045 Hz. Thermal analysis (TG, DSC) revealed a reversible phase transition at 308 degrees C, which is very close to the decomposition range of 1. Under release of POF3, Ag4P2O7 and Ag3PO4 are the thermal decomposition products at temperatures above 450 degrees C.     

水热法制备Ag3PO4/HAP复合光催化剂及其光催化性能（英文）

以牡蛎壳为原料,利用水热法合成高纯度的羟基磷灰石(HAP)载体,经磷酸银负载后,制备出纳米棒状Ag3PO4/HAP复合光催化剂。利用扫描电镜(SEM)、高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)对样品进行表征,并考察不同的制备因素对催化剂降解亚甲基蓝溶液性能的影响。结果表明,当质量比为1∶2时制备的1∶2-Ag3PO4/HAP催化剂的表现最为突出,在10 min时即可达到50%的降解率,在40 min时基本降解完全,是一种高效的复合光催化剂。     

Three New Silver Alkylenediphosphonates with Pillar-like Open-frameworks

1 INTRODUCTION From 1970s many research interests have focused on metal organophosphonates due to their structural diversities, including layers[1, 2], zeolite-like[3], inor- ganic channel with organic shell[4], cage-like[5], homo- chiral framework[6] and ring-[7] or sphere-like[8] clus- ters, as well as their potential or practical applica- tions as Langmuir-Blodgett Film (LB)[9], meso/mi- cro-porous materials[10, 11], ion-exchangers [12], small molecular sensors[13], adsorptions/desorp…
