研究目的
Investigating the fabrication and photocatalytic performance of a novel biochar-based heterojunction photocatalyst Bi2S3/BiOBr/BC for the removal of diclofenac (DCF) under visible LED light irradiation, including mechanistic investigation and intermediates analysis.
研究成果
The novel vessel-like biochar-based heterojunction photocatalyst Bi2S3/BiOBr/BC was successfully synthesized and demonstrated excellent photocatalytic performance for diclofenac removal under visible LED light irradiation. The enhanced performance was attributed to the electrons transfer of biochar and higher charge separation efficiency of the heterojunction structure. The photocatalyst showed good reusability and stability, making it a promising candidate for the removal of emerging contaminants in aquatic environments.
研究不足
The study focuses on the removal of diclofenac under controlled laboratory conditions. The practical application in real water matrices with complex compositions may present additional challenges. The energy consumption and cost-effectiveness of scaling up the process need further investigation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A facile one-pot solvothermal method was used to synthesize the Bi2S3/BiOBr/BC photocatalyst. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by degrading DCF under visible LED light irradiation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Diclofenac was selected as the target contaminant. The samples were characterized using XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, XPS, BET, UV-Vis DRS, and ESR analyses.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included X-ray diffractometer (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS), field emission transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyzer, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometer. Materials included bismuth nitrate pentahydrate, sodium bromide, sodium sulfide, ethylene glycol, and reed straw biomass.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The photocatalyst was synthesized via a solvothermal method. Photocatalytic tests were conducted under visible LED light irradiation, with samples collected at specific times for analysis.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The photocatalytic performance was analyzed using pseudo-first-order kinetics. The roles of active species were determined through trapping experiments and ESR analysis.
