研究目的
To fabricate a novel KTa0.75Nb0.25O3 (KTN)/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst through microwave heating for efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution.
研究成果
The synthesized KTN/g-C3N4 displayed outstanding performance in photocatalytic H2 evolution under simulated sunlight and visible-light illumination. The enhanced performance could be ascribed to the formed heterojunction between KTN and g-C3N4, which greatly hindered the annihilation of charge carries and extended the life of electrons. This work proposes a new and e?cient method for fabricating highly e?cient g-C3N4-based composite.
研究不足
The preparation time is closely correlated with the synthesis conditions, including microwave oven power, purity of CuO powders, amount of precursors, position of the crucible, and Pb content in the crucible. Therefore, the preparation condition should be maintained constant to synthesize comparable photocatalyst.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The KTN/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst was fabricated through microwave heating with KTN and melamine as raw materials.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
KTa
3:75Nb25O3 (KTN) was synthesized by a hydrothermal process with Ta2O5, Nb2O5, and KOH as raw precursors. Pure g-C3N4 was prepared via microwave heating. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Microwave oven (20MX24, 700 W, Zhongshan Dongling Weili Electric Co., Ltd), corundum crucible, aluminum silicate, CuO powders.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The as-obtained admixture was calcined in a microwave oven for 35 min to obtain KTN/g-C3N4 composite.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The structure, morphology, and optical and photoelectric properties of the composite were characterized by X-ray di?raction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV–visible di?use re?ection spectroscopy (DRS), N2-adsorption analysis, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and transient photocurrent response (PC) analyses.
