提高MIL-125(Ti)-NH2可见光催化活性的研究进展

太阳能是一种清洁的可再生能源,其中,可见光占太阳能总能量的45%。发展可见光响应的光催化剂是光催化领域重要的研究内容之一。NH₂-MIL-125（Ti）是一种有代表性的金属有机骨架可见光催化剂,但其存在可见光利用效率不高、光生电子-空穴对复合快等缺点。近年来,研究者们通过对NH₂-MIL-125（Ti）的晶面、结构和组成进行调控和修饰,提高其可见光催化活性。本文对近年来报道的关于提高NH₂-MIL-125（Ti）可见光催化活性的方法进行了综述,并对NH₂-MIL-125（Ti）基可见光催化剂的发展方向提出了建议,以期为NH₂-MIL-125（Ti）在光催化反应中进一步应用研究提供参考。     

锌镉硫量子点增强的光催化产氢活性

光催化分解水产氢是利用太阳能解决当今能源危机和环境污染问题的理想策略.硫化镉光催化剂由于具有较窄的带隙、有效的光吸收能力、较负的导带位置和较强的还原能力等而受到广泛关注.然而,硫化镉光催化剂的光生电子-空穴复合速率高,导致其光催化活性比较低,因此在光催化领域的应用受到限制.为此,人们采取了很多方法来改善硫化镉光催化剂的光催化性能,例如加入助催化剂、构建异质结、表面修饰以及形成固溶体光催化剂等.合成固溶体光催化剂被认为是提高硫化镉光催化活性最具有发展前景的方法之一,固溶体光催化剂通过形成轨道杂化而表现出可控的带隙和带边位置.在固溶体光催化剂中,锌镉硫胶体量子点引起了很多关注.锌镉硫胶体量子点的颗粒尺寸较小,这就使得光生电子和空穴由催化剂内部转移到表面的距离较短,增大了载流子分离效率.另外,锌镉硫胶体量子点具有较负的导带位置、可调控的带隙、较好的水中分散性以及良好的光吸收等优点,因此锌镉硫胶体量子点从其他光催化剂中脱颖而出.本文分别采用热注法和传统共沉淀法制备了油溶性锌镉硫量子点和水溶性锌镉硫纳米颗粒.发现油溶性量子点亲水性能较差,几乎没有光催化活性,但油溶性量子点易通过配体交换过程转换成水溶性量子点,无机硫作为锌镉硫量子点的表面水溶性配体,可使量子点具有较好的亲水性.通过电化学测试、稳态荧光以及时间分辨荧光测试结果表明,相比于锌镉硫纳米颗粒,水溶性锌镉硫量子点具有更高的电子空穴分离效率.光催化产氢测试发现,在牺牲剂甘油存在的条件下,水溶性锌镉硫量子点的光催化产氢速率(1220μmol g^?1 h^?1)显著提高,约是锌镉硫纳米颗粒产氢速率的10倍.加入助催化剂Ni^2+后,锌镉硫量子点表现出最高的光催化产氢活性(2253μmol g^?1 h^?1),在420 nm灯的光照条件下,表观量子效率达到15.9%.光催化活性的增大主要归因于量子点较小的颗粒尺寸、表面无机硫配体以及助催化剂的添加,这些都有利于载流子的快速分离和转移,降低其复合,延长其寿命,并且加速了产氢动力学,因此提高了水溶性锌镉硫量子点的光催化产氢活性.     

S型Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂及其增强的可见光诱导的光催化氧化NO性能

近年来,随着工业化和城镇化的飞速发展,作为一种典型的空气污染物,NOx已经造成严重的环境问题,甚至威胁到人类的身体健康.为了解决这个问题,科研工作者研发了许多NOx去除技术,其中光催化技术被认为是一种能有效地去除空气中NOx的技术.作为一种廉价、无毒、热稳定性强、能带结构合适的光催化材料,石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)能够有效的利用可见光,将NO光催化氧化为NO3^-.但是由于自身的光生载流子复合率较高,光谱响应范围较窄等缺点,g-C3N4不能有效的光催化去除空气中持续流动的低浓度NO,限制了其在光催化领域中的实际应用.因此,有必要合成出高催化活性、高光响应范围的S型复合光催化剂来克服以上光催化材料的不足.为此,我们利用超声辅助法制备了一系列的S型Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂,呈现出优异的光催化活性:与其纯组分相比,所制备的15-Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂在可见光下照射30 min,可去除68%以上的持续流动的NO(初始浓度400 ppb),且五次循环实验后,Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂仍然具备良好的光催化活性和稳定性.透射电子显微镜结果清楚地表明,Sb2WO6颗粒已成功地均匀地负载到g-C3N4纳米片表面.紫外可见漫反射光谱的结果表明,Sb2WO6和g-C3N4的复合可以有效地提高对可见光的吸收能力.与纯g-C3N4样品相比,复合样的吸收带边具有明显的红移.光致发光光谱结果表明,在Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合半导体中,光生载流子的复合受到抑制.光电流与电阻抗分析可知,与纯Sb2WO6和g-C3N4相比较,在15-Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂中的光生载流子的迁移速率和分离效率较高.通过对样品的能带结构分析并已有参考文献,我们认为Sb2WO6和g-C3N4的接触边界形成了S型异质结,使光生载流子的转移速率更快,改善了光生电子-空穴对分离,而且增强可见光的利用效率,从而提高了光催化性能.自由基捕获实验结果证实,?O2^-主导了Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂去除NO反应,h^+也在一定程度上参与了光催化氧化NO的反应.通过原位红外光谱技术研究了Sb2WO6/g-C3N4光催化NO氧化的反应机理,研究发现,Sb2WO6/g-C3N4复合光催化剂光催化去除是氧诱导的反应.具体反应机理是在可见光的驱动下,光催化剂表面的光生电子会与被吸附的O2反应生成?O2^-,并与光生h^+一起,共同将低浓度的NO光催化氧化为亚硝酸盐或硝酸盐.该研究有助于深入研究光催化氧化NO机理,并为设计高效光催化剂用于光催化氧化ppb级NO提供了一种极具前景的策略.     

Photocatalytic Activities of FeNbO4/NH2-MIL-125(Ti) Composites toward the Cycloaddition of CO2 to Propylene Oxide

Photocatalytic utilization of CO₂ in the production of value-added chemicals has presented a recent green alternative for CO₂ fixation. In this regard, three FeNbO₄/NH₂-MIL-125(Ti) composites of different mole ratios were synthesized, characterized using Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). PXRD patterns confirm the co-existence of the parent components in the prepared composites. Moreover, the surface area increased as the mole percent of NH₂-MIL-125(Ti) in the composites increased due to the large surface area of NH₂-MIL-125(Ti). Prepared composites were investigated for the photocatalytic insertion of CO₂ into propylene oxide. FeNbO_4(75%)/NH₂-MIL-125(Ti)_(25%) showed the highest percent yield of 52% compared to the other two composites. Results demonstrate the cooperative mechanism between FeNbO₄ and NH₂-MIL-125(Ti) and that the reaction proceeded photocatalytically.     

Development of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> photocatalysts suitable for practical use and their applications in environmental cleanup

Recently, environmental disruption is proceeding on a global scale through the consumption of huge amounts of fossil fuels and the emission of various chemical substances. However, these substances resist bio-treatment. TiO₂ generates electrons and holes by irradiation with light. Most organic micro-pollutants, including dioxins, are decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by the effect of the holes with high oxidative potential. By using such a photocatalytic reaction, various applications are feasible for environmental cleanup. In general, TiO₂ powder has been utilized as photocatalyst, although TiO₂ powder photocatalyst has several disadvantages: (1) it is difficult to handle, (2) photocatalytic reaction is slow and it takes a lot of time for treatment and (3) it is difficult to apply to plastics and textiles, because the photocatalyst decomposes them. We have developed a photocatalyst suitable for practical use and have developed high-activity photocatalysts such as TiO₂ photocatalytic transparent film, photocatalytic silica-gel, apatite-coated TiO₂ photocatalyst usable for plastics and textiles, photocatalytic paper, photocatalytic blue charcoal and photocatalytic oxygen scavenger. The application of these high-activity photocatalysts has been studied in deodorization, anti-bacterial, self-cleaning, anti-stain, water treatment, air purification such as photocatalytic decomposition of dioxins and VOC, and NO _x removal. Now various photocatalytic articles using these new photocatalyst materials are on the market in Japan. Photocatalytic technology can create many valuable products for environmental use all over the world.

A photocatalyst of nanometer TiO2/conjugated polymer complex was successfully synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and photocatalytic experiments. The complex photocatalyst could be activated by absorbing both ultraviolet and visible light （λ = 190-800 nm）. Methylene blue （MB） could be degraded more efficiently on the complex photocatalyst than on the TiO2 under natural light. The conjugated polymer played a promoting role in the photocatalytic degradation of MB. The calcination temperature had an important effect in degradation of dye and could be summarized as 260℃ 〉 300 ℃ 〉 340 ℃ 〉 220 ℃ 〉 180 ℃.

Visible-Light-Active Coumarin- and Quinolinone-Based Photocatalysts and Their Applications in Chemical Transformations

Organic dyes have been actively studied as useful photocatalysts because they allow access to versatile structural flexibility and green synthetic applications. The identification of a new class of robust organic chromophores is, therefore, in high demand to increase structural diversity and variability. Although coumarins and quinolinones have long been acknowledged as organic chromophores, their ability to participate in photoinduced transformations is somewhat less familiar. Fascinated by their chromophoric features and adaptable platform, our group is interested in the identification of fluorescent bioactive molecules and in the development of new photoinduced synthetic methods using coumarins and quinolinones as photocatalysts. This account provides an overview of our recent progress in the discovery and application of light-absorbing coumarin and quinolinone derivatives in photochemistry and medicinal chemistry.
