研究目的
To construct a strontium titanate/binary metal sulfide heterojunction photocatalyst for enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity in degrading organic pollutants like methyl orange.
研究成果
The SrTiO3/SnCoS4 heterojunction, especially with 5 wt.% SnCoS4 loading, significantly enhances photocatalytic activity for methyl orange degradation under visible light due to improved light absorption and effective charge separation. It shows good stability and reusability, with potential for organic wastewater treatment.
研究不足
The study focuses on methyl orange degradation under laboratory conditions; scalability and application to real wastewater with complex compositions are not addressed. The stability tests are limited to four cycles, and long-term durability under harsh conditions is not evaluated.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A two-step hydrothermal method was used to synthesize SrTiO3/SnCoS4 heterojunctions, with photocatalytic activity evaluated under visible light irradiation using methyl orange degradation as a model reaction.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included pure SrTiO3, SnCoS4, and various composites with different SnCoS4 loadings (1%,
3:5%, 5%, 5%, 10%), prepared using analytical grade reagents. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included tetraisopropyl orthotitanate, strontium nitrate, sodium hydroxide, cobalt chloride hexahydrate, stannic chloride pentahydrate, L-cysteine, anhydrous ethanol, acetic acid, and methyl orange. Equipment included a Teflon-lined stainless-steel autoclave, centrifuge, Shimadzu XRD 6000 diffractometer, SUPRA 55 FESEM with EDX, JEOL JEM 2100 TEM, ThermoFisher ESCALAB 250X XPS, Shimadzu UV-3600 spectrophotometer, FS5 fluorescence spectrophotometer, and a 250 W Xe arc lamp with UV cut-off filter.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
SrTiO3 was synthesized hydrothermally at 180°C for 24 hours. Composites were prepared by dispersing SrTiO3 in deionized water, adding precursor solutions, and hydrothermally reacting at 180°C for 24 hours. Photocatalytic tests involved adding catalyst to MO solution, stirring in dark for adsorption equilibrium, irradiating with visible light, sampling periodically, centrifuging, and measuring absorbance.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
XRD for crystal structure, SEM/TEM for morphology, XPS for elemental analysis, UV-Vis DRS for light absorption, PL spectra for charge separation, and degradation kinetics analyzed using pseudo-first-order model.
