Dy(III) Doped BiOCl Powder with Superior Highly Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Activity for Rhodamine B Photodegradation.

ABSTRACT: Dy-doped BiOCl powder photocatalyst was synthesized A one?step coprecipitation method. The incorporation of Dy3+ replaced partial Bi3+ in BiOCl crystal lattice system. For Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation, 2% Dy doped BiOCl possessed highly efficient photocatalytic activity and photodegradation efficiency. The photodegradation ratio of RhB could reach 97.3% after only 30 min of photocatalytic reaction; this was more than relative investigations have reported in the last two years. The main reason was that the 4f electron shell of Dy in the BiOCl crystal lattice system can generate a special electronic shell structure that facilitated the transfer of electron from valance band to conduction band and separation of the photoinduced charge carrier. Apart from material preparation, this research is expected to provide important references for RhB photodegradation in practical applications.

Facile Green Synthesis of BiOBr Nanostructures with Superior Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Activity.

Project description:Novel green bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr-G) nanoflowers were successfully synthesized via facile hydrolysis route using an Azadirachta indica (Neem plant) leaf extract and concurrently, without the leaf extract (BiOBr-C). The Azadirachta indica leaf extract was employed as a sensitizer and stabilizer for BiOBr-G, which significantly expanded the optical window and boosted the formation of photogenerated charge carriers and transfer over the BiOBr-G surface. The photocatalytic performance of both samples was investigated for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) and phenol (Ph) under the irradiation of visible light. The leaf extract mediated BiOBr-G photocatalyst displayed significantly higher photocatalytic activity when compared to BiOBr-C for the degradation of both pollutants. The degradation rate of MO and Ph by BiOBr-G was found to be nearly 23% and 16% more when compared to BiOBr-C under visible light irradiation, respectively. The substantial increase in the photocatalytic performance of BiOBr-G was ascribed to the multiple synergistic effects between the efficient solar energy harvesting, narrower band gap, high specific surface area, porosity, and effective charge separation. Furthermore, BiOBr-G displayed high stability for five cycles of photocatalytic activity, which endows its practical application as a green photocatalyst in the long run.

A photosensitive metal-organic framework having a flower-like structure for effective visible light-driven photodegradation of rhodamine B.

Project description:Porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have great photocatalytic potential due to their good photosensitivity. Their photocatalytic performance is not only determined by molecular structure but also by morphology. Flower-like MOFs are considered to be good materials for catalysis due to their larger specific surface area, more exposed active sites, and good stability. Here, we first proposed a method to synthesize flower-like porphyrin-based MOFs using trifluoroacetic acid as a morphology control agent. These MOFs had a large BET surface area (605.04 m2 g-1), a stable structure and a complete morphology. Meanwhile, we discussed their self-assembly process and mechanism in detail. In addition, we studied the photocatalytic performance of flower-like porphyrin-based MOFs and found that the flower-like Cu-TCPP (TCPP = tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin) has excellent photocatalytic activity. Its photodegradation efficiency toward the cationic dye rhodamine B reached 88% within 100 min and the sample still maintained its stable catalytic activity and complete flower-like morphological structure after five repeated uses. Furthermore, this synthetic strategy can be extended to control the morphology of other MOFs.

Visible-Light-Driven AO7 Photocatalytic Degradation and Toxicity Removal at Bi-Doped SrTiO3.

Project description:In this study, Bi-doped SrTiO3 perovskites (Sr1-xBixTiO3, x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.1) were synthesized using the solid-state method, characterized, and tested as photocatalysts in the degradation of the azo dye acid orange 7 (AO7) under visible light. The perovskites were successfully synthesized, and XRD data showed a predominant, well-crystallized phase, belonging to the cubic perovskite symmetry. For the doped samples, a minority phase, identified as bismuth titanate, was detected. All doped samples exhibited improved photocatalytic activity under visible light, on the degradation of AO7 (10 mg L-1), when compared with the undoped SrTiO3, with an increase in relative Abs484 nm decay from 3.7% to ≥67.8% after 1 h, for a powder suspension of 0.2 g L-1. The best photocatalytic activity was exhibited by the Sr0.95Bi0.05TiO3 perovskite. Reusability studies showed no significant loss in photocatalytic activity under visible light. The final solutions showed no toxicity towards D. magna, proving the efficiency of Sr0.95Bi0.05TiO3 as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst to degrade both the AO7 dye as well as its toxic by-products. A degradation mechanism is proposed.

Facile synthesis of silver doped manganese oxide nanocomposite with superior photocatalytic and antimicrobial activity under visible spectrum.

Project description:Water pollution and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have become two global threats; 80% of diseases and 50% of child deaths are due to poor water quality. In this study, hydrothermal processing was employed to manufacture manganese oxide nanorods. Silver dopant was deposited on the surface of manganese oxide. XRD diffractogram confirmed the facile synthesis of Ag/Mn2O3 nanocomposite. XPS survey analysis demonstrated silver content of 9.43 atom %. Photocatalytic measurements demonstrated the outstanding efficiency of the Ag-Mn2O3 compared to virgin oxide particles under visible radiation. Degradation efficiencies Mn2O3 and Ag/Mn2O3 on methyl orange (MO) dye was found to be 53% and 85% under visible spectrum. Silver dopant was found to decrease the binding energy of valence electrons; this action could support electron-hole pair generation under visible spectrum and could promote catalytic performance. Ag/Mn2O3 NPs demonstrated most effective performance (95% removal efficiency) at pH 3; this could be ascribed to the electrostatic attraction between positively charged catalyst and the negatively charged MO. Ag/Mn2O3 demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (19 mm ZOI), and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) (22 mm ZOI) respectively; the developed nanocomposite demonstrated advanced anti-film activity with inhibition percentage of 95.5% against E. coli followed by 89.5% against S. aureus.

Laminated Hybrid Junction of Sulfur-Doped TiO2 and a Carbon Substrate Derived from Ti3C2 MXenes: Toward Highly Visible Light-Driven Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.

Project description:TiO2 is an ideal photocatalyst candidate except for its large bandgap and fast charge recombination. A novel laminated junction composed of defect-controlled and sulfur-doped TiO2 with carbon substrate (LDC-S-TiO2/C) is synthesized using the 2D transition metal carbides (MXenes) as a template to enhance light absorption and improve charge separation. The prepared LDC-S-TiO2/C catalyst delivers a high photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 333 µmol g-1 h-1 with a high apparent quantum yield of 7.36% at 400 nm and it is also active even at 600 nm, resulting into a 48 time activity compared with L-TiO2/C under visible light irradiation. Further theoretical modeling calculation indicates that such novel approach also reduces activation energy of hydrogen production apart from broadening the absorption wavelength, facilitating charge separation, and creating a large surface area substrate. This synergic effect can also be applied to other photocatalysts' modification. The study provides a novel approach for synthesis defective metal oxides based hybrids and broaden the applications of MXene family.

Visible-light-driven photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic performances of Cr-doped SrTiO3/TiO2 heterostructured nanotube arrays.

Project description:Well-aligned TiO2 nanotube arrays have become of increasing significance because of their unique highly ordered array structure, high specific surface area, unidirectional charge transfer and transportation features. However, their poor visible light utilization as well as the high recombination rate of photoexcited electron-hole pairs greatly limited their practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate the fabrication of visible-light-responsive heterostructured Cr-doped SrTiO3/TiO2 nanotube arrays by a simple hydrothermal method, which facilitate efficient charge separation and thus improve the photoelectrochemical as well as photocatalytic performances.

B-Doped g-C3N4/Black TiO2 Z-Scheme Nanocomposites for Enhanced Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Performance

Project description:Black TiO2 with abundant oxygen vacancies (OVs)/B-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) Z-scheme heterojunction nanocomposites are successfully prepared by the one-pot strategy. The OVs can improve not only photogenerated carrier separation, but also the sorption and activation of antibiotic compounds (tetracycline hydrochloride, TC). The prepared heterojunction photocatalysts with a narrow bandgap of ∼2.13 eV exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (65%) under visible light irradiation within 30 min, which is several times higher than that of the pristine one. The outstanding photocatalytic property can be ascribed to abundant OVs and B element-dope reducing the bandgap and extending the photo-response to the visible light region, the Z-scheme formation of heterojunctions preventing the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, and promoting their effective separation.

A visible-light-responsive TaON/CdS photocatalytic film with a ZnS passivation layer for highly extraordinary NO2 photodegradation.

Project description:Recently, TaON has become a promising photoelectrode material in the photocatalytic field owing to its suitable band gap and superior charge carrier transfer ability. In this work, we prepared a TaON/CdS photocatalytic film using a CdS nanoparticle-modified TaON film by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. For the first time, the ZnS nanoparticles were deposited on the TaON/CdS film using the same method. We found that pure TaON had a nanoporous morphology, thus resulting in high specific surface area and better gas adsorption capacity. Furthermore, the TaON/CdS/ZnS film displayed a highly efficient NO2 photodegradation rate under visible light irradiation owing to its stronger visible light response, photocorrosion preventive capacity, and the high separation efficiency of photo-induced electrons and holes. Interestingly, the promising TaON/CdS/ZnS film also possessed remarkable recyclability for NO2 degradation. Therefore, we suggest that the TaON/CdS/ZnS photocatalytic film might be used for the photocatalytic degradation of other pollutants or in other applications. We also put forward the feasible NO2 photocatalytic degradation mechanism for the TaON/CdS/ZnS film. From the schematic diagram, we could further obtain the photo-generated carrier transport process and NO2 photodegradation principle in detail over the ternary photocatalytic film. Moreover, the trapping experiment demonstrates that ·O2 - and h+ all play significant roles in NO2 degradation under visible light irradiation.

Visible-Light-Driven Ag-Doped BiOBr Nanoplates with an Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance for the Degradation of Bisphenol A.

Project description:Based on the low utilization rate of visible light and the high-charge carriers-recombination efficiency of bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr), in this work, noble metal Ag was used to modify BiOBr, and Ag-doped BiOBr nanoplates (Ag-BiOBr) were obtained through a one-step hydrothermal method. Compared with BiOBr, the absorption edge of Ag-BiOBr showed a redshift from 453 nm to 510 nm, and the absorption efficiency of visible light was, obviously, improved. Bisphenol A (BPA) was chosen as the target pollutant, to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of the samples. Ag0.1-BiOBr showed the highest degradation efficiency. The intrinsic photocatalytic activity of Ag0.1-BiOBr, under visible light, was approximately twice as high as that of BiOBr. In this way, a new visible-light-driven photocatalyst was proposed, to fight against organic pollution, which provides a promising strategy for water and wastewater treatment.

Visible-light active conducting polymer nanostructures with superior photocatalytic activity.

Project description:The development of visible-light responsive photocatalysts would permit more efficient use of solar energy, and thus would bring sustainable solutions to many environmental issues. Conductive polymers appear as a new class of very active photocatalysts under visible light. Among them poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is one of the most promising conjugated polymer with a wide range of applications. PEDOT nanostructures synthesized in soft templates via chemical oxidative polymerization demonstrate unprecedented photocatalytic activities for water treatment without the assistance of sacrificial reagents or noble metal co-catalysts and turn out to be better than TiO2 as benchmark catalyst. The PEDOT nanostructures exhibit a narrow band gap (E?=?1.69?eV) and are characterized by excellent ability to absorb light in visible and near infrared region. The novel PEDOT-based photocatalysts are very stable with cycling and can be reused without appreciable loss of activity. Interestingly, hollow micrometric vesicular structures of PEDOT are not effective photocatalysts as compared to nanometric spindles suggesting size and shape dependent photocatalytic properties. The visible-light active photocatalytic properties of the polymer nanostructures present promising applications in solar light harvesting and broader fields.
