Core-shell type Tourmaline@ZnO composites equipped with carbon dots for high efficiency photocatalyst
摘要： Here we report that a novel type of Tourmaline@ZnO core-shell composite equipped with carbon dots (CDs) as multi-band light active sensitizer has been successfully designed and efficiently utilized as the superior photocatalyst towards the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under Xenon lamp at room temperature. The bare ZnO, CDs/ZnO, Tourmaline@ZnO and CDs/Tourmaline@ZnO were systemically synthesized following the facile homogeneous precipitation process and characterized in detail by XRD, FTIR, FESEM, HRTEM, UV-Vis, PL, PC and EIS investigations in succession. Bare ZnO displays as 3-dimensional hierarchical nano-flowers with large specific surface area reaching up to 62.049 m2/g by BET measurement, while the other composite products confirm the core-shell structures with CDs inlaying on ZnO layer surfaces. The photocatalytic activities of the polynary hybridations obtain effective enhancements compared to pure ZnO, the ternary system (CDs/Tourmaline@ZnO) deserves more attention for achieving the maximum (91.25%). It should been the synergistic effect on the highly efficient catalysis performances exerting by the presence of CDs modifier and the Tourmaline core, which make ZnO matrix receive more photo-generated electrons and broaden the visible light response originated from CDs, and synchronously hinder the recombination of electrons-hole pairs by the spontaneous polarization and surface electric field of Tourmaline.

Enhancing the photocatalytic activity of ZnO by using tourmaline
摘要： The ZnO/tourmaline composite was synthesized by a facile precipitation-hydrothermal method. The composite showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity towards degradation of methylene blue (MB) compared with pure ZnO. The degradation rate maintained 90.8% after five successive photocatalytic reaction cycles in the presence of the composite. The results indicated that the enhanced photocatalytic performance of the composite was ascribed to the exposed active sites originated from the improved specific surface area, good interaction between ZnO and tourmaline, and furthermore, tourmaline’s ability of leading the photo-induced e- transferred directionally to achieve separation of e-/h+ pairs. As an earth-abundant polar mineral, tourmaline had potential application in the photocatalytic field.
