AgI-AgBr/硅藻土复合光催化剂的制备及其光催化性能

采用一步法制备了AgBr/硅藻土、Ag-AgBr/硅藻土、AgI-AgBr/硅藻土3种复合光催化剂,采用SEM,XPS,UV-VisDRS,BET,XRD技术对复合材料进行了表征,并以其为光催化剂,在可见光下降解水中罗丹明B(RhB)。表征结果显示,AgI-AgBr/硅藻土具有最大的比表面积,且在可见光区的光吸收效率最高。实验结果表明:AgI-AgBr/硅藻土表现出最强的光催化活性,光反应40min时的RhB去除率即可达99.8%;该催化剂具有优异的稳定性,5次重复使用时的RhB去除率仍可达90%以上;AgI和AgBr形成异质结,有效抑制了光生电子-空穴对的复合,提高了AgI-AgBr/硅藻土的光催化活性;空穴是光催化降解RhB过程中起主要作用的活性物种。     

Z-scheme V2O5-Ag2O/g-C3N4异质结制备及其可见光催化性能

采用原位生长法制备V₂O₅,并将其与Ag₂O/g-C₃N₄水热复合制备V₂O₅-Ag₂O/g-C₃N₄复合光催化剂.利用XRD、FT-IR、SEM和UV-Vis DRS等方法对样品的形貌结构及光学性质进行表征.结果表明,V₂O₅成功掺杂在Ag₂O/g-C₃N₄上,与Ag₂O/g-C₃N₄相比,复合材料对可见光的吸收范围增大;在可见光照射180min后,V₂O₅掺杂量为15%的复合材料对亚甲基蓝(MB)的降解率达到99.10%.经过3次循环降解后,复合材料对MB的降解率保持85%以上,表明其具有良好的稳定性.通过掩蔽实验推测,空穴(h⁺)是光催化体系中主要的活性物质,其光催化性能增强的机理是Ag₂O与g-C₃N₄复合界面形成p-n异质结,并与V₂O₅之间的复合过程符合Z-scheme可见光驱动机制,有效阻碍了光生电子-空穴对的复合,促进活性物质的产生.     

Ferroelectric polarization effect on the photocatalytic activity of Bi0.9Ca0.1FeO3/CdS S-scheme nanocomposites

BiFeO₃ (BFO), as a kind of narrow band-gap semiconductor material, has gradually emerged advantages in the application of photocatalysis. In this paper, Ca doped BFO nanoparticles Bi_0.9Ca_0.1FeO₃ (BCFO) were prepared by sol-gel method. And BCFO and CdS nanocomposites with two morphologies were obtained by controlling the time of loading CdS under a low temperature liquid phase process. It is found that the band gap becomes narrower after doping Ca into BFO, which is conducive to the absorption of visible light. Among all the samples, the composite of CdS nanowires and BCFO nanoparticles obtained by reaction time of 10 min has the best photocatalytic performance. The degradation rate of Methyl Orange solution was 94% after 90 min under visible light irradiation, which was much higher than that of pure BCFO and CdS. Furthermore, significant enhancement in the degradation rate (100% degradation in 60 min) can be achieved in poled samples after electric polarization process. The highest degradation rate is due to the promoted separation of photogenerated carriers induced by the internal polarization field and the formation of S-scheme heterostructure between BCFO and CdS. Such BCFO-CdS nanocomposites may bring new insights into designing highly efficient photocatalyst.

采用水热法和溶胶凝胶法制备了新型FeTiO3/TiO2纳米异质结复合材料,并明确了最优的掺杂比例(0.5%).随后利用X射线衍射能谱(XRD)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)、扫描电镜(SEM)和透射电镜(TEM)等手段对该复合材料进行表征,证实了其结晶度、吸光度随掺杂量的规律性变化.电镜照片显示,该复合材料具有蓬松多孔的微观结构,且晶格条纹清晰、分散度高,有利于光电子的传导.对苯的降解实验表明,相比于纯TiO2,该催化剂的气相可见光催化能力大幅提高,降解率提升了3倍,达到40%,而CO2生成量提升了5倍,超过300 ppm.同时,电化学测试和电子顺磁共振谱(ESR)等均证实,FeTiO3的窄能带能够提高TiO2的光响应,实现可见光激发;而二者的能带相互匹配,有助于转移光生载流子,实现电子-空穴的高效分离,进而其光生电子和自由基生成能力大幅增强,因此,表现出了较强、较稳定的光催化活性.
