Modification of kaolinite from Pará/Brazil region applied in the anionic dye photocatalytic discoloration
摘要： The incorporation of titanium oxide and other transition metals on the surface of different materials has been shown to be a promising strategy to improve the efficiency of photocatalytic processes aiming at the decontamination of aqueous systems caused by persistent organic contaminants such as dyes. The objective of this work was to evaluate the catalytic properties of nanocomposites based on the kaolinite (Kaol) with TiO2 incorporated, obtained from the sol-gel method, used in discoloration of the coomasie brilliant blue dye (CBB) in aqueous solution. The nanocomposites were prepared from the reaction of titanium tetraisopropoxide with purified natural kaolinite and calcined at different temperatures. The samples were characterized by the XRD, FTIR, SEM-XED, BET-BJH and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy techniques, which demonstrated the structure, crystalline pattern, as well as the incorporation of titanium in the clay structure, changes caused by modification in morphology, texture and energy gap. The photocatalytic tests were performed using 5 × 10?5 mol L?1, 1.0 and 1.5 g L?1 concentration, respectively, to the CBB dye solution and to the synthesized materials. Among the nanocomposites, the sample calcined at 300 °C, KaolBT-300, presented the best photocatalytic performance. The addition of the H2O2 oxidant to the solution containing KaolBT-300 at the concentration of 1.5 g L?1 increased the discoloration percentage to 97.31% of the CBB solution dye after 120 min of irradiation. The discoloration kinetics of the CBB dye obeys the pseudo-first-order velocity law. Finally, the reuse of the KaolBT-300 sample in three consecutive cycles of photocatalysis demonstrated a significant adhesion stability of the TiO2 particles on the clay surface, indicating that it can be used in advanced oxidative processes for the degradation of organic pollutants.

Plasmon-Enhanced Electrocatalytic Properties of Rationally Designed Hybrid Nanostructures at a Catalytic Interface
摘要： In recent years, a promising role of plasmonic metal nanoparticles (NPs) has been demonstrated toward an improvement of the catalytic efficiency of well-designed hybrid electrocatalysts. In particular, the coupling of plasmonic functionality with the metal-based core–shell architectures in plasmon-enhanced electrocatalysis provides a sustainable route to improve the catalytic performances of the catalysts. Herein, the rationally designed AuNPs wrapped with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) spacer along with PdNPs (AuNP@rGO@Pd) as the final composite are reported. The rGO is proposed to promote the reduction of PdO, greatly enhance the conductivity, and catalytic activity of these nanohybrid structures. The plasmon-enhanced electrocatalytic performance of optimized AuNP@rGO(1)@Pd exhibits an ≈1.9- and 1.1-fold enhanced activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction, respectively. The final composite also exhibits a superior stability up to 10 000 s compared with the commercial Pd/C. The mechanism of the enhanced catalytic performance is monitored through in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy by observing the generated electron density under light irradiation. The results demonstrate that the energetic charge carriers are concentrated in the incorporated PdNPs, allowing higher catalytic performances for the overall water-splitting reaction. The conclusions herein drawn are expected to shed light on upcoming plasmon-induced electrocatalytic studies with analogous hybrid nanoarchitectures.

Halloysite based nanocomposites and photocatalysis: A Review
摘要： Heterogeneous photocatalysis is an e?cient, relatively cheap and environmentally friendly technology for decomposing various organic and air pollutants. Halloysite is a natural clay mineral usually in the form of nanotubes that has many applications as well as potential uses including photocatalysis. In this paper the photocatalytic activities of halloysite-based nanocomposites in combination with various photocatalysts that have been synthesized and tested in decomposing organic and air pollutants are reviewed. Many photocatalysts have been synthesized and among them TiO2 in the form of anatase, or rutile, or a mixture of both is the most common photocatalyst due to its e?ectiveness and low cost. Researches by many investigators are summarized and discussed. The possibilities and limitations of halloysite-based nanocomposites for future applications are also discussed and new ?elds of research are proposed. It is suggested that Halloysite-based nanocomposites are more promising in positively charged organic substrates like tetracycline and Rhodamine B where the organic pollutant is attracted by halloysite's negatively charged external surfaces close to the photocatalysts, than neutral like paracetamol or negatively charged which that attraction does not occur.
