研究目的
Investigating the degradation of 1,4-dioxane (1,4-D) using a carbon quantum dots-decorated TiO2/g-C3N4 film electrode as a photoanode with improved photoelectrocatalytic performance.
研究成果
The TCNC NRAs photoanode demonstrated superior photoelectrocatalytic performance for 1,4-D degradation under visible light irradiation, attributed to enhanced charge separation and a change in the electron transfer mechanism to a Z-scheme. This study provides a promising approach for the development of efficient PEC materials for environmental remediation.
研究不足
The study focuses on the degradation of 1,4-dioxane under controlled laboratory conditions. The performance in real wastewater treatment scenarios, including the effect of varying pH and the presence of other contaminants, needs further investigation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of TiO2/g-C3N4/CQDs nanorod arrays (TCNC NRAs) film electrode through hydrothermal and vapor deposition processes. The optical, morphological, and electrochemical properties were characterized using TEM, SEM, DRS, PL, and EIS.
