研究目的
To solve the problem of water pollution by developing a semiconductor photocatalyst that can degrade pollutants through multi-phase photocatalytic reaction under visible light or sunlight.
研究成果
ZnO–TiO2 TNTs were successfully prepared by a one-step anodizing method, showing excellent photocatalytic performance under visible light with a degradation rate of MB reaching above 81.9%. The doping with ZnO modified the optical properties, extended the range of the response spectrum, and increased the absorption of solar energy.
研究不足
The study focuses on the photocatalytic properties under visible light and does not explore the performance under other light conditions or the long-term stability of the ZnO-TNTs.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
One-step anodizing method using NH4F/ethylene glycol as the electrolyte to prepare ZnO doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (ZnO-TNTs).
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Titanium sheets (20 mm × 10 mm × 0.3 mm, 99.99%) were used as substrates.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM, JSM-70001), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM, JSM-2001F), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (Perkin Elmer, Lambda 750S), and solid-state photoluminescence spectra (LS-55).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
Polished titanium sheets were anodized in a fundamental electrolyte composed of 0.3 wt% NH4F, 95 vol% ethylene glycol and 5 vol% deionized water or 5 vol% different concentration of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O aqueous solution using pulse-reversing voltage power.
5:Data Analysis Methods
The photocatalytic performance was evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light.
