N修饰纳米TiO2可见光催化降解氮氧化物

为了充分利用可见光催化转化氮氧化物,采用碳酸铵作为N源,用浸渍的方法制备了掺N的纳米TiO2。XRD分析结果表明,修饰和煅烧过程没有改变TiO2的晶型;由X光电子能谱(XPS)可得,N在TiO2晶格中形成N—Ti—O键;催化剂的UV-Vis漫反射光谱显示,N修饰TiO2催化剂的吸收光谱发生了一定程度的红移,在可见光区有一定的吸收。N修饰TiO2催化在蓝光照射下对NO2有一定的转化。合适的N修饰量和煅烧温度对修饰过程非常重要,m[(NH4)2CO3]/m(TiO2)为0.20的混合物在600℃下煅烧1.0 h的催化剂在可见光下转化NO2的活性最高。

Solar Photocatalytic Degradation of Textile Dyes in TiO2 Suspended Solutions

The degradation and decolourization of direct dye (Everdirect supra turguoise blue, FBL), acidic dye (Isolan orange S-RL) and vat dye (Indanthren red FBB) have been investigated by solar/TiO2 process. The effects of solution pH, dye concentration, dosage of TiO2 and nano-size of TiO2 have been studied. The increase in initial pH (3, 5 and 11) and dye concentration decrease the removal rate. The treatment for FBB and FBL dye solutions is more efficient than that of S-RL.Under optimum conditions, the color removal is found to be almost complete for FBB and FBL while that of S-RL also reaches 95%. Langmuir adsorption isotherm and modified Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model (L-H model) have been fitted to the experimental data and found to correlate the adsorption patterns as well as the kinetics of the dyes studied.

One-Step Synthesis of g-C3N4 Nanosheets with Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance for Organic Pollutants Degradation Under Visible Light Irradiation

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) has received much interest as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst for degrading pollutants such as organic dyes and antibiotics. However, g-C₃N₄ bulk activity could not meet expectations due to its rapid recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs and low specific surface area. In our study, melamine was thermally treated one-step in the presence of NH₄Cl to produce g-C₃N₄ nanosheets. The characterizations of surface morphology and optical properties of all g-C₃N₄ samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Compared to bulk g-C₃N₄, g-C₃N₄ nanosheets demonstrated excellent photocatalytic activities, with approximately 98% RhB removal after 210 min of visible light irradiation. Furthermore, the effect of catalyst dosage, pH, and RhB concentration on the removal percentage dye of g-C₃N₄ nanosheets was also investigated. h⁺ and ^?O₂^? species were demonstrated as the key reactive species for the RhB. Besides, ECN exposed a tetracycline degradation efficiency of 80.5% under visible-light irradiation for 210 min, which is higher than BCN (60.8%). The improved photocatalytic activity of g-C₃N₄ nanosheets is due to the restriction of the recombination of photogenerated electrons/hole pairs, as provided by photoluminescence spectra and Nyquist plot. As a result, our research may offer an effective approach to fabricating g-C₃N₄ nanosheets with high photocatalytic activity and high stability for environmental decontamination.

     

Synthesis of TiO2−xNy/Ag‐PbMoO4 Composite and Their Photocatalytic Activity Under Simulated Solar Light Irradiation

TiO_2?xN_y/Ag‐PbMoO₄ composite were synthesized by sonochemical method. The results revealed that the band‐gap energy absorption edge of TiO_2?xN_y/Ag‐PbMoO₄ composite was shifted to a longer wavelength as compared to TiO₂, TiO_2?xN_y, PbMoO_4, and Ag‐PbMoO₄. The TiO_2?xN_y/Ag‐PbMoO₄ composite showed the enhanced photocatalytic activity for degradation of indigo carmine dye (ICD) under simulated solar light irradiation. The TiO_2?xN_y/Ag‐PbMoO₄ composite exhibited the highest percentage (95.4%) of degradation of ICD and the highest reaction rate constant (0.0244 min^?1) in 2 h. The results suggested that a good combination of Ag and TiO_2?xN_y nanoparticles has great influence on the photocatalytic behavior of PbMoO₄.
