研究目的
To synthesize N/B double-doped Mn2O3 and WO3 nanoparticles for enhanced dye degradation under visible light.
研究成果
N/B co-doping significantly enhances the photocatalytic activity of Mn2O3 and WO3 nanoparticles under visible light, with potential applications in wastewater treatment and environmental remediation due to cost-effectiveness and reusability.
研究不足
The study may have limitations in scalability for industrial applications, potential variability in nanoparticle synthesis, and the need for further optimization of doping levels and conditions for maximum efficiency.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used precipitation-hydrothermal methods for synthesis, with characterization via XRD, SEM, EDX, and UV-Vis spectroscopy to analyze structural and optical properties. Photocatalytic activity was tested under visible light irradiation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Nanoparticles were synthesized from precursors like KMnO4 and Na2WO4·2H2O, with dopants urea and H3BO3. Methylene blue (MB) solution was used as the pollutant model.
3:Methylene blue (MB) solution was used as the pollutant model. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included Siemens D500 powder diffractometer for XRD, Varian Cary500 UV-Vis spectrophotometer, JEOL JSM-840A SEM, FEI Quanta 200 FESEM with EDS, Shimadzu UV2550 spectrophotometer, 300W Xe lamp with cut-off filter, quartz glass reactor, and centrifuge. Materials were analytical grade reagents from commercial sources.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involved dissolving precursors, adding buffer solutions, stirring, filtration, drying, and calcination. Photocatalytic tests involved equilibrating catalyst-MB suspension, irradiating with visible light, sampling at intervals, centrifuging, and measuring absorbance.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Bandgaps were calculated using the Tauc equation, crystallite size using Scherrer's formula, and degradation efficiency monitored via UV-Vis absorbance changes.
