摘要:

用活性氧(ROS)光催化降解微塑料(MPs)被认为是一种环保且可持续处理水生环境中MPs污染的方法。然而,由于传统光催化剂中电荷载流子的低迁移率和快速复合率使得该手段的使用面临较大挑战。本文通过热聚合耦合热溶剂工艺成功制备了氧硫共掺杂氮化碳纳米片(OSCN)。其中,O、S共掺杂可以有效降低带隙宽度,并提高氮化碳(C3N4)的光响应效率。同时,O/S掺杂原子有效增强了电子分布的离域,提高了载流子的分离能力,进一步促进了ROS的形成并提高了材料的光催化性能。与C3N4相比,OSCN对不同类型MPs (传统的石油基MPs—聚乙烯PE和可生物降解的生物基MPs—聚乳酸PLA)的光催化降解效果和矿化率显著提高,其中PE和PLA的质量损失分别增加了32.8%和34.1%。值得注意的是,OSCN产生的•OH和1O2协同催化了PE的降解,而•OH则是引发PLA光解和水解的主要自由基。本研究对光催化技术在水环境MPs污染修复中的应用具有重要意义。

Abstract:

Photocatalytic microplastic (MP) degradation via reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a considered environmentally friendly and sustainable approach for eliminating MP pollution in aquatic environments. However, it faces challenges due to the low migration and rapid recombination efficiency of charge carriers in photocatalysts. Herein, oxygen and sulfur co-doped carbon nitride (OSCN) nanosheets were synthesized through thermal polymerization coupled with a thermosolvent process. The O and S co-doping can reduce the bandgap and improve the light response of carbon nitride (C3N4). Meanwhile, O/S dopants effectively improve the delocalization of electron distribution, leading to increased carrier separation capacity, thereby promoting the formation of ROS and enhancing photocatalytic performance. Compared to C3N4, OSCN demonstrated significantly higher photocatalytic degradation and mineralization rates for MPs, including polyethylene (PE, traditional petroleum-based MPs) and polylactic acid (PLA, biodegradable bio-based MPs). Specifically, the mass loss of PE and PLA increased by 32.8% and 34.1%, respectively. Notably, •OH and 1O2 generated by OSCN synergistically catalyzed the degradation of PE, while •OH was the primary radical triggering the photolysis and hydrolysis of PLA. This study holds significant implications for the application of photocatalysis technology in the remediation of MP pollution in aquatic environments.
