An efficient and robust exfoliated bentonite/Ag <sub/>3</sub> PO <sub/>4</sub> /AgBr plasmonic photocatalyst for degradation of parabens
摘要： Efficient visible-light-driven heterojunction photocatalysts have attracted broad interest owing to their promising adsorption and degradation performances in the removal of organic pollutants. In this study, a mesoporous exfoliated bentonite (EB)/Ag3PO4/AgBr (30%) photocatalyst was obtained by stripping and exfoliating bentonite as the support for loading Ag3PO4 and AgBr. The particle size ranges of Ag3PO4 and AgBr were about 10–30 nm and 5–10 nm, respectively. The exfoliated bentonite could greatly improve the dispersion and adsorption of Ag3PO4 and AgBr, and significantly enhance the stability of the material during paraben photodegradation. 0.2 g L?1 methylparaben (MPB) was completely decomposed over the EB/Ag3PO4/AgBr (30%) in 40 min under visible light irradiation. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of EB/Ag3PO4/AgBr (30%) remained at about 91% after five recycling runs manifesting that EB/Ag3PO4/AgBr (30%) possessed excellent stability. Radical quenching tests revealed that holes (h+) and hydroxyl radicals (?OH) were the major radicals. They attacked the side chain on the benzene ring of parabens, which were gradually oxidized to the intermediates, such as benzoic acid, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, azelaic acid, and eventually became CO2 and H2O. The enhancement of photocatalytic activity and photo-stability could be ascribed to the stable structural characteristics, enlarged surface area, high absorption ability, and improved light absorption ability from loading Ag3PO4 onto EB. Meanwhile, the matched energy levels of Ag3PO4 and AgBr made the photoelectron–hole pairs separate and transfer effectively at the interfaces. As a result, the photocatalytic properties of EB/Ag3PO4/AgBr (30%) composites were enhanced.

An affordable photocatalyst for pharmaceuticals and superior electro catalyst for methanol oxidation - A dual role by CuWO4 anchored bentonite clay
摘要： In this present study, we developed a novel bentonite loaded CuWO4 nanoparticles (BEN-CuWO4 NPs) through the simple hydrothermal method. The as-prepared BEN-CuWO4 NPs was systematically characterized by various spectroscopic techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), DRS-UV visible spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Photoluminescence (PL) techniques. For the first time, the BEN-CuWO4 NPs were utilized as a bifunctional catalyst for the photodegradation of Diclofenac sodium (DFS) and electrooxidation of methanol. More distinctively, the BEN-CuWO4 NPs exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity could degrades above 94% DFS solution under visible light illumination with superior stability. Further, BEN-CuWO4 NPs portrayed superior electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of methanol when compared to the pristine CuWO4. In addition, Impedance studies revealed that the BEN-CuWO4 NPs holds the tremendous dielectrical properties. This present investigation opens a new door way for the synthesis of multifunctional nanostructured materials for practical energy and environmental applications.

Sol-gel synthesis of new ZnFe2O4/Na-bentonite composites for simultaneous oxidation of RhB and reduction of Cr(VI) under visible light irradiation
摘要： To improve the photogenerated charge carrier separation and stability of ZnFe2O4, we prepared new ZnFe2O4/Na-bentonite composites using Na-bentonite as the carrier via a sol-gel method. The composition, surface morphology and optical properties of samples were characterized by XRD, TEM, XPS, FTIR and UV–vis DRS analysis. The results of TEM and XPS show that the ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles spread on the thin layers of Na-bentonite due to intercalation with Na-bentonite. The simultaneous removal of the Cr(VI)-RhB mock wastewater system by ZnFe2O4/Na-bentonite composites, the results are 88.6% for Cr(VI) and 94.2% for RhB in 120 min, which is 1.3-fold higher of Cr(VI) reduction than that of the individual ones. Based on experimental results of PL and reactive species involved in the removal of RhB and Cr(VI), the enhanced photocatalytic activity of the new ZnFe2O4/Na-bentonite composite could be due to visible-light adsorption ability, larger interfacial area, as well as effective transfer and prolonged charge-hole separation.
