Fabrication of MoS2/TiO2 heterostructure with enhanced photocatalytic activity
摘要: Two dimensional nanophotocatalysts MoS2/TiO2 with tunable decoration amount of MoS2 nanosheets were fabricated through hydrothermal route. The microstructure and photocatalytic behavior of as?prepared samples were characterized by X?ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, UV?vis diffuse reflectance spectra, electrochemical workstation, dye degradation and water splitting experiment. The result shows that these composites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity for RhB degradation and hydrogen generation. Nearly 95% photocatalytic degradation of RhB was obtained for 2 h and 1.93 mmol g?1 h?1 of hydrogen production rate was achieved over MoS2/TiO2 at a MoS2 content of 10 wt%. And the corresponding photocurrent density of composite photoelectrode was 5?fold higher than that of pristine TiO2 architectures. It is believed that the boosting photocatalytic performance of heterostructure could be ascribed to the synergetic effect between the MoS2 and TiO2, which accelerated the separation and migration efficiency of charge carries as well as enhanced the light?harvest efficiency.

Recent Developments about Conductive Polymer Based Composite Photocatalysts
摘要: Conductive polymers have been widely investigated in various applications. such as polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)), and polythiophene (PTh) have been loaded with various semiconductor nanomaterials to prepare the composite photocatalysts. However, a critical review of conductive polymer-based composite photocatalysts has not been available yet. Therefore, in this review, we summarized the applications of conductive polymers in the preparation of composite photocatalysts for photocatalytic degradation of hazardous chemicals, antibacterial, and photocatalytic hydrogen production. Various materials were systematically surveyed to illustrate their preparation methods, morphologies, and photocatalytic performances. The synergic effect between conductive polymers and semiconductor nanomaterials were observed for a lot of composite photocatalysts. The band structures of the composite photocatalysts can be analyzed to explain the mechanism of their enhanced photocatalytic activity. The incorporation of conductive polymers can result in signi?cantly improved visible-light driven photocatalytic activity by enhancing the separation of photoexcited charge carriers, extending the light absorption range, increasing the adsorption of reactants, inhibiting photo-corrosion, and reducing the formation of large aggregates. This review provides a systematic concept about how conductive polymers can improve the performance of composite photocatalysts.

Microstructure and photocatalytic performance of BiVO4 prepared by hydrothermal method
摘要: Monoclinic BiVO4 photocatalyst was hydrothermally synthesized at different pH conditions without surfactant. The microstructure and photocatalytic behavior of as?prepared samples were characterized by X?ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, UV?vis diffuse reflectance spectra, electrochemical workstation and dye degradation experiment. The results show that the pH value had a significant influence on the microstructure and photocatalytic performance of BiVO4. In acid environment, heavy precipitation of tetragonal BiVO4 took place in a short time at room temperature, whereas only amorphous powders formed as the pH value was equal or higher than 7. The monoclinic BiVO4 gradually nucleated and grew at the early stage of synthesis procedure at 180°C, and finally became the unique crystalline phase. The relationship between microstructure and photocatalytic activity the photocatalyst was well discussed. It is observed that the BiVO4 prepared in the neutral condition (pH 7) exhibited desirable photocatalytic degradation efficiency toward Rhodamine B solution, mainly due to the efficient separation of photogenerated electron?hole pairs and enhanced visual light absorption during degradation process, which were ascribed to the comprehensive function of high exposed {010} crystal facets, close packed structure, small particle size, and special floating characteristic.

Cascade electronic band structured zinc oxide/ bismuth vanadate/ three-dimensional ordered macroporous titanium dioxide ternary nanocomposites for enhanced visible light photocatalysis
摘要: Ternary zinc oxide/ bismuth vanadate/ three-dimensional ordered macroporous titanium dioxide (ZnO/BiVO4/3DOM TiO2) heterojuncted nanocomposites with cascade electronic band structures were successfully designed and synthesized for visible light photodegradation of two different molecules: Rhodamine B (RhB) and Tartrazine. The photocatalytic active species have been investigated by using electron scavenger (AgNO3) and hole scavenger (Triethanolamine: TEOA). The band edge positions of each component in tenary nanocomposites have been measured by using photoelectrochemical Mott-Schottky method and valence band XPS (VB-XPS) spectroscopy. Within the heterojunction, charges are favorably and spatially separated through the gradient potential at the interfaces. This largely suppresses the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Furthermore, 3DOM inverse opal structure is beneficial for high diffusion efficiency and highly accessible surface area of reactants and light and multiple scattering for light harvesting. Consequently, these heterojuncted nanocomposites exhibit highly enhanced photocatalytic performance compared with pure BiVO4 nanostructure, and binary BiVO4/3DOM TiO2, ZnO/BiVO4 nanocomposites. A detailed mechanism of charge transfer is proposed for these ternary ZnO/BiVO4/3DOM TiO2 nanocomposites on the basis of a large series of spectroscopic and photocatalytic results. Our work demonstrates clearly that coupling multicomponent semiconductors with different energy levels of conduction and valence bands can significantly increase the photogenerated charge carriers through the efficient charge separation across their multiple interfaces. This work gives some new ideas on developing new visible light responsive nanocomposites for highly efficient solar energy utilization.
