研究目的
To develop efficient and recyclable photocatalysts with wide spectrum response for degrading various pollutants in water.
研究成果
CFs/TiO2/MoS2 heterostructures exhibit strong and wide absorption from UV to NIR, high photocatalytic activity for degrading various pollutants under visible light, and enhanced photoelectrocatalytic efficiency when woven into a cloth. The material shows excellent stability and has potential as a flexible, weaveable photocatalyst/photoelectrode for wastewater treatment.
研究不足
The paper does not explicitly mention limitations, but potential areas for optimization could include scalability of the hydrothermal method, long-term stability under harsh conditions, and cost-effectiveness of materials.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A two-step hydrothermal method was used to prepare TiO2/MoS2 heterostructures on carbon fibers (CFs). The design rationale was to create a heterojunction to improve carrier separation and utilize the wide absorption spectrum of MoS
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Carbon fibers were used as the substrate. Pollutants included Rhodamine B (RhB), Acid Orange 7 (AO7), tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Hydrothermal reactor, UV–vis-NIR spectrometer, SEM, TEM, HR-TEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, electrochemical workstation for photocurrent and EIS measurements. Materials included sodium molybdate, thiourea, oxalic acid, deionized water, and various pollutants.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
TiO2 nanorods were grown on CFs via hydrothermal method. MoS2 nanosheets were then grown on CFs/TiO2 using another hydrothermal step. Photocatalytic degradation tests were conducted under visible-light irradiation. Photoelectrochemical tests involved weaving CFs/TiO2/MoS2 into a cloth and using it as a working electrode in a three-electrode system with applied bias and light irradiation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Degradation efficiency was monitored using UV–vis spectroscopy. Photocurrent and EIS were measured with an electrochemical workstation. Characterization techniques included SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, and XPS for structural and compositional analysis.
