研究目的
Investigating the fabrication and photocatalytic performance of a ternary visible-light-driven semiconductor photocatalyst for the degradation of environmental pollutants.
研究成果
The RGAAW photocatalyst exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity and stability for the degradation of MO under visible light irradiation. The enhancement was attributed to the reduced graphene oxide sheets functioning as an electron collector and transporter. The study provides a high-efficiency method to synthesize RGO loaded Ag2O and Ag2WO4 with excellent photocatalytic performance.
研究不足
The photosensitive and unstable properties of Ag2O under light irradiation and the wide band gap of Ag2WO4 limit their photocatalytic applications. Excessive RGO can act as a center for the recombination of electron-hole pairs.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the preparation of a ternary RGO/Ag2O/Ag2WO4 Ag-based semiconductor photocatalyst via a hydrothermal method. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of methylene orange dye under visible light irradiation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were prepared from natural graphite. AgNO3 and Na2WO4 were used as precursors for Ag2O and Ag2WO4, respectively.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
SEM, XRD, XPS, FT-IR, UV?vis DRS, and a 250 W metal halide lamp equipped with wavelength cut off filters for λ = 420 nm were used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The photocatalytic activity was measured by adding photocatalyst to MO dye solution under magnetic stirring, followed by visible light irradiation. The concentration of dye was determined by measuring the absorbance using an UV-2450 spectrophotometer.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The removal efficiency of dye was calculated and photocatalytic process was modeled using pseudo first-order kinetics equation.
