Au/BiOBr/石墨烯复合物的制备及其苯酚降解光催化性能

采用水热法和多巴胺还原法制备了Bi OBr、Bi OBr/石墨烯和Au/Bi OBr/石墨烯光催化剂,并利用扫描电镜(SEM)、透射电镜(TEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、光致发光光谱(PL)和紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-vis DRS)等方法表征其形貌、相结构、光谱吸收性质以及组成结构。在可见光照射下,通过对水相中苯酚的降解,考察了Au/Bi OBr/石墨烯复合光催化剂活性。结果表明,由于量子效率的提高、带隙能的降低(2.25 e V)以及Au表面等离子体共振,复合光催化剂表现出比纯Bi OBr更高的光催化活性,Au/Bi OBr/石墨烯复合物在180 min内对苯酚降解率可达到64%。

Preparation of Au/BiOBr/Graphene composite and its photocatalytic performance in phenol degradation under visible light

BiOBr, BiOBr/Graphene and Au/BiOBr/Graphene composites were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and dopamine in-situ reduction method; their morphology, composition, phase structure and optical absorption properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) emission spectroscopy. The photocatalytic performance of Au/BiOBr/Graphene in phenol degradation under visible light was investigated. The results indicate that the Au/BiOBr/Graphene composite exhibits enhanced absorption in the visible light region as well as superior photocatalytic activity in the degradation of aqueous phenol, in comparison with BiOBr and BiOBr/Graphene, owing to the enhanced quantum efficiency, narrowed band gap (2.25eV) and surface plasmon resonance of Au nano particles. Over Au/BiOBr/Graphene composite, the degradation rate of phenol reaches 64% in 180min under visible light irradiation.
