Adsorption and visible-light photodegradation of organic dyes with TiO₂/conjugated microporous polymer composites.

ABSTRACT: A series of composite materials made of TiO₂ and conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) were prepared with a hydrothermal method and used as both adsorbents and photocatalysts for the adsorption and visible-light photodegradation of organic dyes in aqueous solutions. It is found that the blending of CMPs can significantly improve both the adsorption capacity and the photocatalytic degradation activity of TiO₂ towards organic dyes.

A Conjugated Microporous Polymer for Palladium-Free, Visible Light-Promoted Photocatalytic Stille-Type Coupling Reactions.

Project description:The Stille coupling reaction is a versatile method to mainly form aromatic C-C bonds. However, up to now, the use of palladium catalysts is necessary. Here, a palladium-free and photocatalytic Stille-type coupling reaction of aryl iodides and aryl stannanes catalyzing a conjugated microporous polymer-based phototcatalyst under visible light irradiation at room temperature is reported. The novel coupling reaction mechanism occurs between the photogenerated aryl radical under oxidative destannylation of the aryl stannane, and the electron-activated aryl iodide, resulting into the aromatic C-C bond formation reaction. The visible light-promoted Stille-type coupling reaction using the polymer-based pure organic photocatalyst offers a simple, sustainable, and more economic synthetic pathway toward palladium-free aromatic C-C bond formation.

Adsorption of cationic/anionic dyes and endocrine disruptors by yeast/cyclodextrin polymer composites.

Project description:Factory and natural wastewaters contain a wide range of organic pollutants. Therefore, multifunctional adsorbents must be developed that can purify wastewater. Phytic acid-cross-linked Baker's yeast cyclodextrin polymer composites (IBY-PA-CDP) were prepared using a one-pot method. IBY-PA-CDP was used to adsorb methylene blue (MB), bisphenol A (BPA), and methyl orange (MO). Studies on the ionic strength and strongly acidic ion salts confirmed that IBY-PA-CDP adsorbs MO through hydrophobic interactions. This also shows that Na+ was the direct cause of the increased MO removal. Adsorption studies on binary systems showed that MB/MO inhibited the adsorption of BPA by IBY-PA-CDP. The presence of MB increased the removal rate of MO by IBY-PA-CDP due to the bridging effect. The Langmuir isotherm model calculated the maximum adsorption capacities for MB and BPA to be 630.96 and 83.31 mg g-1, respectively. However, the Freundlich model is more suitable for fitting the experimental data for MO adsorption. To understand the rate-limiting stage of adsorption, a mass-transfer mechanism model was employed. The fitting results show that adsorption onto the active sites is the rate-determining step. After five regeneration cycles, IBY-PA-CDP could be reused with good stability and recyclability.

Enhanced optomechanical properties of mechanochemiluminescent poly(methyl acrylate) composites with granulated fluorescent conjugated microporous polymer fillers.

Project description:With the combination of mechanochemiluminescence from 1,2-dioxetane coupled polymers and granulated conjugated microporous polymer (CMP) nanosheets, a new kind of filling-type mechanolumninescent polymer composite was developed. Herein, polymeric 1,2-dioxetane performed as an autoluminescent probe of chain scission. Besides benefiting from their excellent optical properties and good interfacial compatibility with poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) media, two stable and fluorescent CMP nanosheets were prepared and dispersed in crosslinked PMA, which can serve as effective energy acceptors and reinforcing nano-fillers. These polymer nanocomposites present both reinforced mechanical strength and mechanochemiluminescence, and offer exciting opportunities to study the failure process of polymer nanocomposites with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution.

Co-assembled MoS2-TiO2 Inverse Opal Photocatalysts for Visible Light-Activated Pharmaceutical Photodegradation.

Project description:Heterostructured photocatalytic materials in the form of photonic crystals have been attracting attention for their unique light harvesting ability that can be ideally combined with judicious compositional modifications toward the development of visible light-activated (VLA) photonic catalysts, though practical environmental applications, such as the degradation of pharmaceutical emerging contaminants, have been rarely reported. Herein, heterostructured MoS2-TiO2 inverse opal films are introduced as highly active immobilized photocatalysts for the VLA degradation of tetracycline and ciprofloxacin broad-spectrum antibiotics as well as salicylic acid. A single-step co-assembly method was implemented for the challenging incorporation of MoS2 nanosheets into the nanocrystalline inverse opal walls. Compositional tuning and photonic band gap engineering of the MoS2-TiO2 photonic films showed that integration of low amounts of MoS2 nanosheets in the inverse opal framework maintains intact the periodic macropore structure and enhances the available surface area, resulting in efficient VLA antibiotic degradation far beyond the performance of benchmark TiO2 films. The combination of broadband MoS2 visible light absorption and photonic-assisted light trapping together with the enhanced charge separation that enables the generation of reactive oxygen species via firm interfacial coupling between MoS2 nanosheets and TiO2 nanoparticles is concluded as a competent approach for pharmaceutical abatement in water bodies.

Facile one-step hydrothermal synthesis of α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4 composites for the synergistic adsorption and photodegradation of dyes.

Project description:With the expansion of industrialization, dye pollution has become a significant hazard to humans and aquatic ecosystems. In this study, α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4-R (where R is the relative percentage of α-Fe2O3) composites were fabricated by a one-step method. The as-prepared α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4-0.5 composites showed excellent adsorption capacities for methyl orange (MO, 69.91 mg g-1) and methylene blue (MB, 29.46 mg g-1), surpassing those of g-C3N4 and many other materials. Moreover, the ionic strength and initial pH influenced the adsorption process. Relatively, the adsorption isotherms best fitted the Freundlich model, and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model could accurately describe the kinetics for the adsorption of MO and MB by α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4-0.5. Electrostatic interaction and π-π electron donor-acceptor interaction were the major mechanisms for MO/MB adsorption. In addition, the photocatalytic experiment results showed that more than 79% of the added MO/MB was removed within 150 min. The experimental results of free-radical capture revealed that holes (h+) were the major reaction species for the photodegradation of MO, whereas MB was reduced by the synergistic effect of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and holes (h+). This study suggests that the α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4 composites have an application potential for the removal of dyes from wastewater.

Core-Shell Heterostructured and Visible-Light-Driven Titanoniobate/TiO2 Composite for Boosting Photodegradation Performance.

Project description:Herein, we report a one-dimensional (1D) S-doped K3Ti5NbO14@TiO2 (STNT) core-shell heterostructured composite with an enhanced photocatalytic degradation activity under visible light, which was prepared by a simple reassembly-calcination method using thiourea as the S source. The anisotropically shaped rods are favorable for the rapid transport of photogenerated charge carriers. The substitution of Ti4+ by S6+ is primarily incorporated into the lattice of the TiO2 shell so as to create an intra-band-gap state below the conduction band (CB) position, giving rise to Ti-O-S bonds and thus the visible light response. The presence of electron-deficient S atoms is of benefit to the decreased recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes by capturing electrons (e-). Meanwhile, a tight close interface between K3Ti5NbO14 and TiO2 was formed to achieve a nano-heterojunction structure, leading to the fostered separation of its interfacial photogenerated electrons and holes. The visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) by STNT composites is higher than that by pure K3Ti5NbO14, owing to the synergistic effects of S doping and heterojunction. A possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed with a reasonable discussion. This work may provide an insight into constructing highly efficient core-shell photocatalysts used toward sustainable environmental remediation and resource shortages.

A novel Strategy of Lock-in Effect between Conjugated Polymer and TiO2 towards Dramatic Enhancement of Photocatalytic Activity under Visible Light.

Project description:To design novel conjugated polymers and improve interfacial interaction with semiconductor is one of directions to develop high-efficient photocatalysts with harvesting photons and boosting catalytic activities. Herein, two novel linear conjugated polymers poly[(thiophene-ethylene-thiophene)-thiophene] (PTET-T) and poly[(thiophene-ethylene-thiophene)-thiophene-3-carboxylic acid] (PTET-T-COOH) were successfully synthesized by a simple Stille coupling reaction. Their heterojunction with TiO2, i.e, PTET-T/TiO2 (C1) and PTET-T-COOH/TiO2 (C2), exhibited outstanding photocatalytic activity for degrading Rhodamine B, methylene blue and tetracycline. The energetic "lock-in effect" between PTET-T-COOH and TiO2 through carboxyl groups and hydroxyl groups interaction has been proved to greatly improve the interface charge transfer ability and suppress the electron-hole recombination in PTET-T-COOH/TiO2. Thus, by regulating the dosage of polymers, the 15% PTET-T-COOH/TiO2 showed the optimized photocatalytic activity with excellent chemical stability, and its kinetic rate constant was determined to be 41.7 times of that of TiO2. This work provided a new effective strategy of designed and explored organic semiconductor-inorganic heterojunction photocatalysts with broaden absorption, repeatability and high-charge mobility.

ZnO-Layered Double Hydroxide@Graphitic Carbon Nitride Composite for Consecutive Adsorption and Photodegradation of Dyes under UV and Visible Lights.

Project description:In this work, a ZnO-layered double hydroxide@graphitic carbon nitride composite (ZnO-LDH@C₃N₄) was synthesized via co-precipitation method with solvothermal treatment. The structure and morphology of ZnO-LDH@C₃N₄ composite were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopes/transmission electron microscopes (SEM/TEM), N₂ adsorption/desorption, ultraviolet visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis-DRS), photoluminescence spectrometer (PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The adsorption and photocatalytic properties of ZnO-LDH@C₃N₄ composite towards the organic dyes: Orange II sodium salt (OrgII, an anionic azo dye) and methylene blue (MB, a cationic azo dye) were investigated. Compared to ZnO-LDH and g-C₃N₄, the ZnO-LDH@C₃N₄ composite displayed an excellent performance in both adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of the organic dyes. Moreover, a combination of ZnO-LDH and g-C₃N₄ significantly improved the photocatalytic performance of ZnO-LDH and g-C₃N₄ under visible-light irradiation. The adsorption and photocatalytic mechanism were also investigated.

Synthesis of a 2D Cu@TiO2 composite via the design of a 1D Cu-based coordination polymer precursor for efficient and selective photodegradation of dyes.

Project description:A 2D Cu@TiO2 composite with a porous and crystalline structure was successfully synthesized via one-step and low-temperature calcination of a 1D Cu-based coordination polymer (Cu-CP), namely [Cu2(3-dpha)(1,4-NDC)2(H2O)3] n (3-dpha = N,N'-bis(3-pyridyl)adipamide and 1,4-H2NDC = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid). Moreover, the Cu@TiO2 membrane was fabricated by a simple filtration of the as-grown Cu@TiO2 composite. Compared with the benchmark TiO2 photocatalyst, the Cu@TiO2 composite material with high specific surface area and reduced photogenerated electron-hole ratio exhibited good photodegradation activity and durability for gentian violet (GV), which could be attributed to the combined effect of co-doping of Cu and TiO2 structure. Furthermore, the ˙OH and ˙O2 - radicals were predicted to dominate the photocatalytic process. Therefore, this new efficient photocatalyst is a promising candidate for efficient and selective photodegradation of organic pollutants.

Conjugated microporous polymer membranes for light-gated ion transport.

Project description:Inspired by the light-gated ion channels in cell membranes that play important roles in many biological activities, herein, we developed an artificial light-gated ion channel membrane out of conjugated microporous polymers. Through bottom-up design of the monomer molecular structure and by the electropolymerization method, the membrane pore size and thickness were precisely controlled on the molecular level. The obtained membrane exhibited uniform pore size and highly sensitive light-switchable response. The photoisomerization of the polymer chain resulted in a reversible "on and off" light control over the pore size and subsequently led to light-gated ion transport across the membrane for a series of ions including hydrogen, potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, and aluminum ions.
