研究目的
To prepare an efficient visible-light photocatalyst to significantly use the visible light in photocatalysis reactions, specifically by synthesizing a pillared graphene-TiO2 composite intercalated with tin porphyrin for enhanced photodegradation of methyl orange dye.
研究成果
The TGSP composite demonstrated high photocatalytic activity, completely degrading methyl orange in 180 minutes under visible light due to synergistic effects between graphene and SnTCPP, with hydroxyl radicals being the main active species. This material shows potential for solar energy applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to methyl orange dye degradation; applicability to other pollutants is not tested. The synthesis methods may have scalability issues, and long-term stability of the photocatalyst was not extensively evaluated.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a solvothermal method for synthesizing TiO2-graphene nanocomposites and refluxing for intercalation with tin porphyrin. Photocatalytic activity was assessed under visible light irradiation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Methyl orange dye was used as the target pollutant. Samples included pure TiO2, TG composites with 1%, 3%, and 5% graphene, and TGSP (tin porphyrin-pillared TG).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included an autoclave, ultrasound irradiator, and filtration setup. Materials included graphite oxide, TiO2 nanoparticles, ethanol, H2O, pyridine, SnCl2.2H2O, DMF, and tert-butanol.
4:2H2O, DMF, and tert-butanol.
Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Graphite oxide was synthesized by Hummers method and exfoliated to graphene oxide. TG composites were prepared by solvothermal reaction at 120°C for 24h. TGSP was synthesized by refluxing TG (3%) with SnTCPP.Cl2 in DMF. Photocatalytic tests involved degrading methyl orange under visible light, with control experiments in absence of light or catalyst.
5:4h. TGSP was synthesized by refluxing TG (3%) with SnTCPP.Cl2 in DMF. Photocatalytic tests involved degrading methyl orange under visible light, with control experiments in absence of light or catalyst.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: Photodegradation efficiency was monitored via absorption spectral changes. Mechanisms were investigated using oxygen-free conditions and hydroxyl radical scavengers.
