Recently, carbon nanofibers@TiO2 (CNFs@TiO2) composites as photocatalysts for dye degradation have attracted intense attention. However, only few contributions had been made to investigate systematically the differences between the various preparation approaches and the influence of thermal treatment on the photocatalytic activity. In this work, the electrospun CNFs@TiO2 composites which were prepared by hydrothermal reaction and blended spinning, respectively, have been fabricated via stabilization in air at 280 °C and then carbonization in N2 at heat treatment temperature between 500 and 1100 °C. The composites which were prepared by hydrothermal reaction and blended spinning showed the outstanding photocatalytic activity at 900 °C and 1100 °C, respectively. And the photocatalytic activity of composites prepared by hydrothermal reaction was higher than that prepared by blended spinning, but reversibility of the composites showed a reverse trend. These results indicated that the effect of heat treatment temperature on the photocatalytic activity depended on the synergistic effect among the adsorptive property of CNFs, TiO2 loading amount and anatase phase content in composites. Hence, combining the merits of hydrothermal reaction and blended spinning, a novel method for preparing CNFs@TiO2 composites with high TiO2 loading amount and strong interfacial interaction could be envisioned.  相似文献

g-C3N4 as a new metal-free photocatalytic material for water splitting has attracted much attention in recent years, but its photocatalytic efficiency needs further improvement. Here we synthesized novel C60/graphene/g-C3N4 composite photocatalytic materials with high hydrogen generation ability for water splitting under visible light radiation (λ>420 nm). These materials take full advantage of the electron conduction expressing of graphene and the superior-strong electron-attracting ability of C60. The mutually-reinforcing synergy between graphene and C60 improves the migration and utilization efficiency of photo-generated electrons and accelerates the separation of photo-generated charges, thus significantly enhancing the hydrogen generation capacity of g-C3N4. The hydrogen production amount and rate of C60/graphene/g-C3N4 (10 mg/L C60 and graphene) after 10 h are 5449.5 µmol/g and 545 µmol/g/h, which is 539.6 times of pure g-C3N4 under the same condition. The values are 50.8 and 4.24 times of graphene/g-C3N4 (10 mg/L graphene) and C60/g-C3N4 (10 mg/L C60), respectively. The apparent quantum yield of C60/graphene/g-C3N4 (10 mg/L C60 and graphene) in 97 h is about 7.2%. The improvement of hydrogen generation activity in 97 h suggests the high long-time stability of C60/graphene/g-C3N4 in photocatalytic water spitting. The photocatalytic ability of C60/graphene/g-C3N4 can be controlled by regulating the addition of graphene and C60. The mutually-reinforcing synergy between graphene and C60 was proved by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectrum and organic electron acceptors of MV2+. Thus, the joint action of C60 and graphene promotes the migration, separation and utilization of photo-generated electrons, which is responsible for the significant enhancement of photocatalytic performance.  相似文献

Highly efficient visible-light-driven 3D flowerlike BiOCl0.7Br0.3 microspheres coupled with graphene sheets with different graphene contents have been synthesized by a facile solvothermal process. The as-prepared samples were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N2 adsorption–desorption analysis and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). Characterization results showed BiOCl0.7Br0.3 microspheres were composed of numerous nanoplates with a thickness of about 20 nm and dispersed uniformly on the surface of graphene. Moreover, the photocatalytic activities of these BiOCl0.7Br0.3/graphene composites under visible-light irradiation (λ>420 nm) were evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB). The results indicate all BiOCl0.7Br0.3/graphene composites exhibited much higher photocatalytic activities than pristine BiOCl0.7Br0.3, pure BiOBr and BiOCl, and the highest activity was reached by the BiOCl0.7Br0.3/graphene composite photocatalyst with 10 wt% of graphene. The enhanced photocatalytic activity could be largely ascribed to more effective charge transportations and separations, larger BET surface areas and the increased light absorption. In addition, a possible photocatalytic mechanism of the BiOCl0.7Br0.3/graphene composites on basis of the experimental results was also proposed.  相似文献

The AlN/MAS/Si3N4 ternary composites with in-situ grown rod-like β-Si3N4 were obtained by a two-step sintering process. The microstructure analysis, compositional investigation as well as properties characterization have been systematically performed. The AlN/MAS/Si3N4 ternary composites can be densified at 1650 °C in nitrogen atmosphere. The in-situ grown rod-like β-Si3N4 grains are beneficial to the improvement of thermal, mechanical, and dielectric properties. The thermal conductivity of the composites was increased from 14.85 to 28.45 W/(m K) by incorporating 25 wt% α-Si3N4. The microstructural characterization shows that the in-situ growth of rod-like β-Si3N4 crystals leads to high thermal conductivity. The AlN/MAS/Si3N4 ternary composite with the highest thermal conductivity shows a low relative dielectric constant of 6.2, a low dielectric loss of 0.0017, a high bending strength of 325 MPa, a high fracture toughness of 4.1 MPa m1/2, and a low thermal expansion coefficient (α25–300 °C) of 5.11 × 10?6/K. This ternary composite with excellent comprehensive performance is expected to be used in high-performance electronic packaging materials.  相似文献

Carbon/ceramic composites are promising candidates as electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials used at various harsh environments. The aim of present work is to prepare and investigate two kinds of composite ceramics reinforced with carbon nanowires (CNWs) and nanowires-nanotubes (CNWs-CNTs) hybrid, respectively. Results indicate that CNWs is highly curved and multi-defected, and CNWs-CNTs hybrid shows the best crystal structure at an optimal catalyst concentration of 5 wt%. When CNWs accounts for 5.15 wt%, the total shielding effectiveness (SE) of CNWs/Si3N4 reaches 25.0 dB with absorbed SE of 21.3 dB, meaning that 99.7% incident signal can be blocked, while it reaches 25.4 dB for CNWs-CNTs/Si3N4 as the carbon loading only increasing to 3.91 wt%. By contrast, CNWs/Si3N4 exhibits better electromagnetic attenuation capability with stronger absorption, mainly due to the unique microstructure of CNWs. Both of two composite ceramics have great potential to be designed as structural and multi-functional materials.  相似文献

Boron was introduced into Cf/SiC composites as active filler to shorten the processing time of PIP process and improve the oxidation resistance of composites. When heat-treated at 1800 °C in N2 for 1 h, the density of composites with boron (Cf/SiC-BN) increased from 1.71 to 1.78 g/cm3, while that of composites without boron (Cf/SiC) decreased from 1.92 to 1.77 g/cm3. So when boron was used, two cycles of polymer impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP) could be reduced. Meanwhile, the oxidation resistance of composites was greatly improved with the incorporation of boron-bearing species. Most carbon fiber reinforcements in Cf/SiC composite were burnt off when they were oxidized at 800 °C for 10 h. By contrast, only a small amount of carbon fibers in Cf/SiC-BN composite were burnt off. Weight losses for Cf/SiC composite and Cf/SiC-BN composite were about 36 and 16 wt%, respectively.  相似文献

Onion-like carbon (OLC), also known as carbon onions, is an attractive material for electrical energy storage in regards to high rate, high power applications. We report the most up to date, systematic, and extensive study of the electrochemical behavior of carbon onions in aqueous (1 M sulfuric acid, H2SO4) and organic (1 M tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate, TEA-BF4, and 1 M tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate, TBA-BF4, in acetonitrile) electrolytes. The physical and electrical properties of OLC are studied as a function of the synthesis temperature and compared with diamond soot, carbon black, and activated carbon. To obtain a molecular scale picture of the processes at the OLC-electrolyte interface, we supplement the experimental work with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of carbon onions in organic electrolytes. The capacitive performance of OLC exceeds other carbon materials at high charge/discharge rates (up to 50 V s?1; time constant τ  10 ms). OLC produced from detonation soot has a performance similar to that of OLC from highly purified nanodiamond. While OLC produced at 1500 °C has the largest specific surface area, OLC produced at 1800 °C has the highest conductivity and shows the best capacitive performance at high rates.  相似文献

A novel TiO2  xNx/BN composite photocatalyst was prepared via a facile method using melamine–boron acid adducts (M·2B) and tetrabutyl titanate as reactants. The morphological results confirmed that nitrogen-doped TiO2 nanoparticles were uniformly coated on the surface of porous BN fibers. A red shift of absorption edge from 400 nm (pure TiO2) to 520 nm (TiO2  xNx/BN composites) was observed in their UV–Vis light absorption spectra. The TiO2  xNx/BN photocatalysts exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency reached 97.8% under visible light irradiation for 40 min. The mechanism of enhanced photocatalytic activity was finally proposed.  相似文献

A series of g-C3N4–Sb2S3/Sb4O5Cl2 (SCL-CX) composite photocatalysts were successfully prepared via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared materials were characterized by TM3000, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV–vis DRS). The obtained photocatalyst showed higher photocatalytic activity than pure g-C3N4, Sb4O5Cl2 and Sb2S3/Sb4O5Cl2 (SCL). The optimum photocatalytic of the composite with the mass of 170 mg g-C3N4 and a degradation efficiency up to 95% for methyl orange (MO) under visible light was achieved within 60 min. The enhanced photocatalytic performance could be attributed to the stronger absorption in the visible region and the more efficient electron–hole separation.  相似文献

Two types of Si3N4 composites containing graphene nanostructures using two different graphene sources, pristine graphene nanoplatelets and graphene oxide layers were produced by Spark Plasma Sintering. The maximum toughness of 10.4 MPa m1/2, measured by flexure testing of pre-cracked bars, was achieved for a composite (∼60β/40α-Si3N4, ∼300 nm grain size) with 4 vol.% of reduced graphene oxide, indicating a toughening enhancement of 135% when compared to a similar Si3N4. This was also accompanied by a 10% increase in flexure strength (1040 MPa). For the composites with thicker graphene nanoplateletes only a 40% of toughness increase (6.6 MPa m1/2) without strength improvement was observed for the same filler content. The large difference in the maximum toughness values accomplished for both types of composites was attributed to variations in the graphene/Si3N4 interface characteristics and the extent of monolayer graphene exfoliation.  相似文献

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) were obtained by unzipping multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Three different silicon nitride-carbon nanostructures were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS): ceramic composites that contained 1 wt% carbon nanofibers (CNFs), 1 wt% MWCNTs and 1 wt% GNRs respectively. The α to β-Si3N4 transformation ratio and thermal diffusivity of GNR/Si3N4 composites were higher than both CNF/Si3N4 composites and MWCNT/Si3N4 composites. Furthermore, the higher thermal diffusivities of GNR/Si3N4 composites can primarily be attributed to the higher number of elongate β-Si3N4 grains.  相似文献

A series of g-C3N4/ZnAl2O4 composites were prepared using a conventional calcination method and the heterostructures were systematically characterized. It was found that the combination of g-C3N4 with ZnAl2O4 significantly improve their photocatalytic activities. The optimum photocatalyst of composite is at 5% (wt%) of ZnAl2O4, whose degradation efficiency for methyl orange (MO) was 96% within 120 min under visible-light irradiation. The formation of heterojunction between g-C3N4 and ZnAl2O4 can facilitate efficient charge separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, which were confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). As a result, the photocatalytic properties of composites were enhanced.  相似文献

Molybdenum doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) catalysts were prepared by a simple pyrolysis method using melamine and ammonium molybdate as precursors. The characterization results indicated that the obtained Mo-doped g-C3N4 catalysts had worm-like mesostructures with higher surface area. Introduction of Mo species can effectively extend the spectral response property and reduce the recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes. CO2 photocatalytic reduction tests showed that the Mo-doped g-C3N4 catalysts exhibited considerably higher activity (the highest CO and CH4 yields of 887 and 123 μmol g 1-cat., respectively, after 8 h of UV irradiation.) compared with pure g-C3N4 from melamine.  相似文献

The improved photocatalyst carbon-doped WO3/TiO2 mixed oxide was synthesized in this study using the sol–gel method. The catalyst was thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectroscopy, N2 adsorption desorption analysis, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The photocatalytic efficiency of the prepared materials was evaluated with respect to the degradation of sodium diclofenac (DCF) in a batch reactor irradiated under simulated solar light. The progress of the degradation process of the drug was evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), whereas mineralization was monitored by total organic carbon analysis (TOC) and ion chromatography (IC). The results of the photocatalytic evaluation indicated that the modified catalyst with tungsten and carbon (TWC) exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than TiO2 (T) and WO3/TiO2 (TW) in the degradation and mineralization of diclofenac (TWC>TW>T). Complete degradation of diclofenac occurred at 250 kJ m−2 of accumulated energy, whereas 82.4% mineralization at 400 kJ m−2 was achieved using the photocatalytic system WO3/TiO2-C. The improvement in the photocatalytic activity was attributed to the synergistic effect between carbon and WO3 incorporated into the TiO2 structure.  相似文献

Cu2O/exfoliated graphite composites (Cu2O/EG (1 wt%), Cu2O/EG (4 wt%), Cu2O/EG (7 wt%), Cu2O/EG (10 wt%), and Cu2O/EG (15 wt%)) were prepared by the precipitation method. The photocatalytic activity of the material was evaluated using the decolorization of methyl orange (MO) solution as model reaction. Results showed that Cu2O deposited on the worm-like flakes of EG in the form of nanocrystals. The EG provided a three-dimensional environment for photocatalytic reaction and endowed a high adsorption capacity for the sample. Under optimal conditions, the decolorization efficiencies of MO for 60 min reached 96.7%. Recycling of the catalyst showed Cu2O/EG composites (10 wt%) to possess high photocatalytic efficiency even when repeatedly used for five times.  相似文献

A Si3N4 composite containing needle-like TiN particles (7 vol%) was fabricated. Needle-like TiN particles several micrometers long were synthesized using NH3 nitridation of TiO2 nanofiber, which was obtained using hydrothermal treatment. A mixed powder of α-Si3N4 and the needle-like TiN particles with additives was hot pressed at 24 MPa and 1850 °C for 1 h in N2 atmosphere. Mechanical properties of the composite were compared with those of a composite containing rounded TiN particles and a monolithic β-Si3N4 ceramic. The Si3N4 matrix of the composites containing TiN was mainly a-phase, suggesting that the αβ phase transformation of Si3N4 was inhibited by the presence of TiN. Although fracture strength of the composites was lower, fracture toughness was comparable to that of monolithic β-Si3N4 ceramics. Hardness of the composites was about 19 GPa and was greater than that of the monolithic β-Si3N4 ceramic.  相似文献

Silicon nitride + 1 wt% graphene platelet composites were prepared using various graphene platelets (GPLs) as filler. The influence of the addition of GPLs on the microstructure development and on the fracture toughness of Si3N4 + GPLs composites was investigated. The GPLs with thickness from 5 nm to 50 nm are relatively homogeneously distributed in the matrix of all composites, however overlapping/bundle formation of GPLs was found, containing 2–4 platelets as well. The single GPLs and overlapped GPLs are located at the boundaries of Si3N4, and hinder the grain growth and change the shape of the grains. The fracture toughness was significantly higher for all composites in comparison to the monolithic Si3N4 with the highest value of 9.9 MPa m0.5 for the composite containing the GPLs with smallest dimension. The main toughening mechanisms originated from the presence of graphene platelets, and responsible for the increase in the fracture toughness values are crack deflection, crack branching and crack bridging.  相似文献

A novel molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) composite photocatalyst was synthesized using a low temperature hydrothermal method. MoS2 nanoparticles formed on g-C3N4 nanosheets greatly enhanced the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4. The photocatalyst was tested for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under simulated solar light. Composite 3.0 wt.% MoS2/g-C3N4 showed the highest photocatalytic activity for MO decomposition. MoS2 nanoparticles can increase the interfacial charge transfer and thus prevent the recombination of photo-generated electron–hole pairs. The novel MoS2/g-C3N4 composite is therefore shown as a promising catalyst for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants using solar energy.  相似文献

In this study, Si3N4 ceramic composites were fabricated by using ball-milling, titration preparation and urea preparation methods, respectively. The effect of different preparation methods on microstructure and mechanical properties of the Si3N4 ceramic composites was investigated. Obviously, the Si3N4 ceramic composite prepared by the urea preparation method (U-SN sample) showed better sintering behavior and higher mechanical properties than that prepared by the other two methods. Compared with the Si3N4 ceramic composite by the titration preparation method (T-SN sample), we could avoid the complex titration process or uncontrollable pH value during the preparation process of the U-SN sample. Meanwhile, the coated Y-Al precursor layer in thickness of nanometers was more homogeneous than that prepared by the traditional titration method. B-SN represented the Si3N4 ceramic composite prepared by the ball-milling method. These samples were all sintered from room temperature to 1750 °C via hot-pressing sintering. The U-SN specimen showed the optimal flexural strength and fracture toughness of being 817 MPa and 6.90 MPa/m2, respectively, which could be attributed to its smallest grain size (0.46 µm) among these three samples.  相似文献

The Si3N4-SiC micro-nano composites were fabricated via the spark plasma sintering method using MgSiN2 as an additive. Response surface methodology and central composite design were applied to optimize the spark plasma sintering process for the fabrication of Si3N4-SiC/MgSiN2 with improved density. The relation between the three parameters of sintering including temperature, pressure, and holding time was modeled and the optimized parameters were obtained. The best sintering results obtained for the sintering temperature, holding time, and pressure are 1700 °C, 487 s, and 49 MPa, respectively. The addition of MgSiN2 as an additive and SiC as a secondary phase were also investigated in the present work. The Si3N4−5 vol% SiC composite exhibited high hardness (19 GPa) and fracture toughness values (6.5 MPa m1/2) at room temperature.  相似文献
