A highly efficient degradation mechanism of methyl orange using Fe-based metallic glass powders.

ABSTRACT: A new Fe-based metallic glass with composition Fe76B12Si9Y3 (at. %) is found to have extraordinary degradation efficiency towards methyl orange (MO, C14H14N3SO3) in strong acidic and near neutral environments compared to crystalline zero-valent iron (ZVI) powders and other Fe-based metallic glasses. The influence of temperature (294-328 K) on the degradation reaction rate was measured using ball-milled metallic glass powders revealing a low thermal activation energy barrier of 22.6 kJ/mol. The excellent properties are mainly attributed to the heterogeneous structure consisting of local Fe-rich and Fe-poor atomic clusters, rather than the large specific surface and strong residual stress in the powders. The metallic glass powders can sustain almost unchanged degradation efficiency after 13 cycles at room temperature, while a drop in degradation efficiency with further cycles is attributed to visible surface oxidation. Triple quadrupole mass spectrometry analysis conducted during the reaction was used to elucidate the underlying degradation mechanism. The present findings may provide a new, highly efficient and low cost commercial method for azo dye wastewater treatment.

Excellent capability in degrading azo dyes by MgZn-based metallic glass powders.

Project description:The lack of new functional applications for metallic glasses hampers further development of these fascinating materials. In this letter, we report for the first time that the MgZn-based metallic glass powders have excellent functional ability in degrading azo dyes which are typical organic water pollutants. Their azo dye degradation efficiency is about 1000 times higher than that of commercial crystalline Fe powders, and 20 times higher than the Mg-Zn alloy crystalline counterparts. The high Zn content in the amorphous Mg-based alloy enables a greater corrosion resistance in water and higher reaction efficiency with azo dye compared to crystalline Mg. Even under complex environmental conditions, the MgZn-based metallic glass powders retain high reaction efficiency. Our work opens up a new opportunity for functional applications of metallic glasses.

Fe(III)-Complex-Imprinted Polymers for the Green Oxidative Degradation of the Methyl Orange Dye Pollutant.

Project description:One of the biggest problems worldwide is the pollution of natural water bodies by dyes coming from effluents used in the textile industry. In the quest for novel effluent treatment alternatives, the aim of this work was to immobilize Fe(III) complexes in molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) to produce efficient Fenton-like heterogeneous catalysts for the green oxidative degradation of the methyl orange (MO) dye pollutant. Different metal complexes bearing commercial and low-cost ligands were assayed and their catalytic activity levels towards the discoloration of MO by H2O2 were assessed. The best candidates were Fe(III)-BMPA (BMPA = di-(2-picolyl)amine) and Fe(III)-NTP (NTP = 3,3',3″-nitrilotripropionic acid), displaying above 70% MO degradation in 3 h. Fe(III)-BMPA caused the oxidative degradation through two first-order stages, related to the formation of BMPA-Fe-OOH and the generation of reactive oxygen species. Only the first of these stages was detected for Fe(III)-NTP. Both complexes were then employed to imprint catalytic cavities into MIPs. The polymers showed catalytic profiles that were highly dependent on the crosslinking agent employed, with N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAA) being the crosslinker that rendered polymers with optimal oxidative performance (>95% conversion). The obtained ion-imprinted polymers constitute cheap and robust solid matrices, with the potential to be coupled to dye-containing effluent treatment systems with synchronous H2O2 injection.

Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange by CeO2 and Fe-doped CeO2 films under visible light irradiation.

Project description:Undoped CeO2 and 0.50-5.00 mol% Fe-doped CeO2 nanoparticles were prepared by a homogeneous precipitation combined with homogeneous/impreganation method, and applied as photocatalyst films prepared by a doctor blade technique. The superior photocatalytic performances of the Fe-doped CeO2 films, compared with undoped CeO2 films, was ascribed mainly to a decrease in band gap energy and an increase in specific surface area of the material. The presence of Fe(3+) as found from XPS analysis, may act as electron acceptor and/or hole donor, facilitating longer lived charge carrier separation in Fe-doped CeO2 films as confirmed by photoluminescence spectroscopy. The 1.50 mol% Fe-doped CeO2 film was found to be the optimal iron doping concentration for MO degradation in this study.

Diatom Biosilica Doped with Palladium(II) Chloride Nanoparticles as New Efficient Photocatalysts for Methyl Orange Degradation.

Project description:A new catalyst based on biosilica doped with palladium(II) chloride nanoparticles was prepared and tested for efficient degradation of methyl orange (MO) in water solution under UV light excitation. The obtained photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, TEM and N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms. The photocatalytic degradation process was studied as a function of pH of the solution, temperature, UV irradiation time, and MO initial concentration. The possibilities of recycling and durability of the prepared photocatalysts were also tested. Products of photocatalytic degradation were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses. The photocatalyst exhibited excellent photodegradation activity toward MO degradation under UV light irradiation. Rapid photocatalytic degradation was found to take place within one minute with an efficiency of 85% reaching over 98% after 75 min. The proposed mechanism of photodegradation is based on the assumption that both HO• and O2•- radicals, as strongly oxidizing species that can participate in the dye degradation reaction, are generated by the attacks of photons emitted from diatom biosilica (photonic scattering effect) under the influence of UV light excitation. The degradation efficiency significantly increases as the intensity of photons emitted from biosilica is enhanced by palladium(II) chloride nanoparticles immobilized on biosilica (synergetic photonic scattering effect).

Ultrafast degradation of azo dyes catalyzed by cobalt-based metallic glass.

Project description:Reactivity and mass loss are considered mutually exclusive in conventional zero-valent metal (ZVM) technology to treat environmental contaminants. Here, we report the outstanding performance of Co-based metallic glass (MG) in degrading an aqueous solution of azo dye, thus eliminating this trade-off. Ball-milled Co-based MG powders completely degrade Acid Orange II at an ultrafast rate. The surface-area-normalized rate constant of Co-based MG powders was one order of magnitude higher than that of Co-based crystalline counterparts and three orders of magnitude higher than that of the widely studied Fe(0) powders. The coordinatively unsaturated local structure in Co-based MG responds to the catalysis for degradation, resulting in very low mass loss. Wide applicability and good reusability were also present. Co-based MG is the most efficient material for azo dye degradation reported thus far, and will promote the practical application of MGs as functional materials.

Photocatalytic Performance and Mechanism Research of Ag/HSTiO<sub>2</sub> on Degradation of Methyl Orange.

Project description:The Sol-gel method is successfully used to prepare high specific surface area TiO2 (HSTiO2). Then, the photodeposition method is used to composite silver particles with HSTiO2. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and UV-vis spectroscopy are used to characterize the Ag/HSTiO2 nanocomposites. It can be concluded that the prepared TiO2 has a large specific surface area, reaching 125.5 m2 g-1. Additionally, the addition of silver particles successfully broadens the photoresponse range from the UV region to the visible light region. In order to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of Ag/HSTiO2, we conducted the methyl orange degradation test. The results showed that the photocatalytic activity of the sample is significantly higher than that of pure TiO2.

Shear-induced chemical segregation in a Fe-based bulk metallic glass at room temperature.

Project description:Shear-induced segregation, by particle size, is known in the flow of colloids and granular media, but is unexpected at the atomic level in the deformation of solid materials, especially at room temperature. In nanoscale wear tests of an Fe-based bulk metallic glass at room temperature, without significant surface heating, we find that intense shear localization under a scanned indenter tip can induce strong segregation of a dilute large-atom solute (Y) to planar regions that then crystallize as a Y-rich solid solution. There is stiffening of the material, and the underlying chemical and structural effects are characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The key influence of the soft Fe-Y interatomic interaction is investigated by ab-initio calculation. The driving force for the induced segregation, and its mechanisms, are considered by comparison with effects in other sheared media.

Highly efficient phosphor-glass composites by pressureless sintering.

Project description:The development of high-power white light-emitting diodes demands highly efficient and stable all-inorganic color converters. In this respect, phosphor-glass/ceramic composites show great promise as they could combine the merits of high quantum efficiency of phosphors and high chemical and thermal stabilities of glass/ceramic matrices. However, strong interfacial reaction between phosphors and matrices at high temperature results in quantum efficiency loss of the embedded phosphors, and traditional solutions rely on high-pressure consolidation techniques. Here we report the intrinsic inhibition of interfacial reaction by using silica glass rather than multicomponent glasses as the matrix. The embedment of phosphors is achieved via a pressureless sintering method, rendering these color-tunable phosphor-glass composites not only accessible to three-dimensional printing technique, but also highly efficient (internal quantum efficiency >90.0%), thermally stable at 1200?°C and hydrothermally stable at 200?°C. Our results provide a facile and general strategy for developing all-inorganic functional composites.

Highly efficient metallic optical incouplers for quantum well infrared photodetectors.

Project description:Herein, we propose a highly efficient metallic optical incoupler for a quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) operating in the spectrum range of 14~16??m, which consists of an array of metal micropatches and a periodically corrugated metallic back plate sandwiching a semiconductor active layer. By exploiting the excitations of microcavity modes and hybrid spoof surface plasmons (SSPs) modes, this optical incoupler can convert infrared radiation efficiently into the quantum wells (QWs) layer of semiconductor region with large electrical field component (Ez) normal to the plane of QWs. Our further numerical simulations for optimization indicate that by tuning microcavity mode to overlap with hybrid SSPs mode in spectrum, a coupled mode is formed, which leads to 33-fold enhanced light absorption for QWs centered at wavelength of 14.5??m compared with isotropic absorption of QWs without any metallic microstructures, as well as a large value of coupling efficiency (?) of |Ez|(2)?~?6. This coupled mode shows a slight dispersion over ~40° and weak polarization dependence, which is quite beneficial to the high performance infrared photodetectors.

A Novel Au@Cu2O-Ag Ternary Nanocomposite with Highly Efficient Catalytic Performance: Towards Rapid Reduction of Methyl Orange Under Dark Condition.

Project description:Au@Cu2O core-shell nanocomposites (NCs) were synthesized by reducing copper nitrate on Au colloids with hydrazine. The thickness of the Cu2O shells could be varied by adjusting the molar ratios of Au: Cu. The results showed that the thickness of Cu2O shells played a crucial role in the catalytic activity of Au@Cu2O NCs under dark condition. The Au@Cu2O-Ag ternary NCs were further prepared by a simple galvanic replacement reaction method. Moreover, the surface features were revealed by TEM, XRD, XPS, and UV-Vis techniques. Compared with Au@Cu2O NCs, the ternary Au@Cu2O-Ag NCs had an excellent catalytic performance. The degradation of methyl orange (MO) catalyzed by Au@Cu2O-Ag NCs was achieved within 4 min. The mechanism study proved that the synergistic effects of Au@Cu2O-Ag NCs and sodium borohydride facilitated the degradation of MO. Hence, the designed Au@Cu2O-Ag NCs with high catalytic efficiency and good stability are expected to be the ideal environmental nanocatalysts for the degradation of dye pollutants in wastewater.
