研究目的
Investigating the efficiency of a visible-light photocatalytic fuel cell with Z-scheme g-C3N4/Fe0/TiO2 anode and WO3 cathode in degrading Berberine Chloride and simultaneously generating electricity.
研究成果
The constructed PFC with Z-scheme g-C3N4/Fe0/TiO2 anode and WO3 cathode demonstrated high efficiency in degrading Berberine Chloride and generating electricity under visible-light irradiation. The system showed stable performance over multiple uses and across a range of pH levels, suggesting its potential for practical applications in wastewater treatment and energy recovery.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific conditions under which the PFC was tested, including the use of a single model pollutant and the need for visible-light irradiation. The scalability and long-term stability of the system for practical wastewater treatment applications require further investigation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the preparation of a Z-scheme g-C3N4/Fe0/TiO2 anodic catalyst and WO3 cathode for use in a photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) to degrade Berberine Chloride and generate electricity under visible-light irradiation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Berberine Chloride was used as the model pollutant. The performance of the PFC was evaluated at different pH levels (2, 5, 7, and 13) and initial concentrations of BEC.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Stainless-steel mesh electrodes, Xe lamps (50 W), Na2SO4 electrolyte, and various chemicals for catalyst preparation.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The PFC system was structured in a 500 mL beaker, with electrodes irradiated by visible-light. The degradation efficiency and electricity generation were measured over time.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The degradation efficiency was determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and the electrochemical properties were analyzed using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
