TiO2/Fe/Ag3PO4复合光催化剂降解RhB

TiO2/Fe/Ag3PO4 Composite Photocatalyst for the Degradation of RhB

  • 摘要: 半导体TiO2化学性质稳定、安全无毒,是光催化降解污染的代表性材料。但TiO2存在带隙较宽,只能吸收紫外光的问题。在太阳光能中,紫外光的占比不到5%,大多数光能无法吸收,这会导致TiO2对污染物的光催化降解性能受到极大限制。针对上述问题,设计了一种铁和银共同掺杂的方案,尝试得到比纯TiO2带隙能量更低的复合TiO2微球,来对太阳光的吸收范围进行扩展。样品使用溶胶-凝胶法来制备,分别制备5种铁原子占比不同的TiO2/Fe微球,然后将银元素以磷酸银的形式负载上去,得到TiO2/Fe/Ag3PO4复合微球。配制浓度为10 mg/L的50 mL有机污染物RhB水溶液,在氙灯光源下分别测试5种样品的光催化降解性能。结果表明:1 h内5种样品的降解率均超过90%,特别是铁原子占比为5%时,光催化的效果最好,30 min时降解率高达99%。经过XRD、SEM、XPS、DRS、PL等一系列的测试分析发现,铁原子占比为5%时,复合TiO2微球的带隙能量降低到了2.85 eV,对太阳光的响应延伸至可见光区域,较大程度地提升了TiO2的光催化性能。

     

    Abstract: TiO2 is a general semiconductor photocatalyst to remove environmental contaminants for its chemical properties, safety, and non-toxic.However, TiO2 has wide bandgap, low absorption in visible light region.Since the UV light energy is less than 5% of the solar energy, most of the solar energy can not be absorbed, which restricts the applications of TiO2 on photocatalytic degradation for contaminants.To address the issue, Fe and Ag are doped to prepare composite TiO2 microspheres which had lower band gap energy than pure TiO2 to enhance the absorption of the solar spectrum.By the sol-gel method, the element content of Fe is changed to prepare 5 different samples and fitted the optimal ratio.Then Ag is loaded into the microspheres by Ag3PO4.The composite TiO2/Fe/Ag3PO4 microspheres were prepared.50 mL of 10 mg/L RHB solution is configured to test the photocatalytic degradation of 5 samples under the xenon lamp.All the degradation rates can reach over 90% in 1 h.When the proportion of Fe atoms was 5%,the sample shows an excellent photo catalytic degradation activity.The degradation rate was 99% at 30 min while the samples were characterized by XRD、SEM、XPS、DRS、PL.When Fe is 5% doped, the band gap of composite TiO2 microspheres is 2.85 eV which absorbs the visible light and improves the optical properties.
