摘要:

采用水热法在γ-Bi2MoO6光催化剂表面修饰了纳米级Cu2O, 得到了具有高效可见光响应的复合光催化材料, 并利用X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、选区电子衍射(SAED)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis-DRS)等技术对其相结构、微观形貌和光吸收性能进行了表征. 在可见光条件下(λ>400 nm)考察了Cu2O表面修饰对γ-Bi2MoO6光催化降解亚甲基蓝(MB)性能的促进作用. 结果表明, 纳米级Cu2O(~10 nm)颗粒均匀地修饰于γ-Bi2MoO6的表面, 使γ-Bi2MoO6的可见光吸收带发生明显红移, 且吸收强度大幅提高, 增强了复合材料光生电子-空穴对的分离效率, 从而使复合材料表现出较高的光催化活性. 当Cu2O的表面修饰量为1.5%(w)时, 复合光催化剂降解MB的活性与纯γ-Bi2MoO6相比提高了6.4倍.

Abstract:

Nanosized cuprous oxide (Cu2O) was used to modify the surface of γ-Bi2MoO6, resulting in highly efficient visible-light-responsive Cu2O/γ-Bi2MoO6 composite photocatalysts. The obtained photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV-Vis-DRS) to determine their phase structures, micromorphologies, and light absorption properties. The important role of surface-modified Cu2O in improving the photocatalytic activity of γ-Bi2MoO6 under visible light irradiation was studied using the degradation of methylene blue (MB). The results showed that Cu2O nanoparticles with average size of ~10 nm modified the surface of the γ-Bi2MoO6. The nanoparticles delivered both an obvious red-shift of absorption threshold and intensity of the γ-Bi2MoO6, as well as enhanced separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, thereby leading to significant enhancement in photocatalytic activity. When the amount of Cu2O was 1.5%, the photocatalytic activity of the Cu2O/γ-Bi2MoO6 composite photocatalyst was 6.4 times higher than that of pristine γ-Bi2MoO6.
