研究目的
Investigating the effects of selectively depositing CdS on different facets of TiO2 nanosheet on photocatalytic performance and anti-photocorrosion ability.
研究成果
The selective deposition of CdS on {101} facets of TiO2 nanosheet forms a direct Z-scheme heterostructure, significantly enhancing photocatalytic performance and anti-photocorrosion ability. Modification with CDots further improves the photocatalytic activity. The {101}TiO2/CdS/CDots nanocomposite exhibits excellent stability, low cytotoxicity, and good biocompatibility, making it promising for environmental remediation.
研究不足
The study focuses on the photocatalytic degradation of 4-CP and may not be directly applicable to other pollutants. The long-term stability and practical application in real wastewater treatment need further investigation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the selective deposition of CdS on {001} and {101} facets of TiO2 nanosheet to form Type-II and direct Z-scheme heterostructures, respectively. The hybrids were further modified with carbon nanodots (CDots).
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Anatase TiO2 nanosheet was synthesized via a hydrothermal process. CdS was deposited using a photo-deposition method, and CDots were introduced through direct mixing.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A 150 W Xenon lamp was used as the light source for photocatalytic measurements. Characterization techniques included TEM, HRTEM, XRD, Raman, FT-IR, XPS, UV–vis DRS, PL, transient photocurrent response, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Photocatalytic degradation of 4-Chlorophenol (4-CP) was measured under Xenon lamp irradiation. The stability and repeatability of photocatalysts were tested over seven cycles.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The photocatalytic activity was evaluated based on the degradation efficiency of 4-CP. The mechanisms were elucidated through scavenger quenching experiments and ESR spectroscopy.
