研究目的
Investigating the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in wastewater using nitrogen-doped graphene-cerium oxide (NG-CeO2) nanocomposites.
研究成果
The NG-CeO2 nanocomposites demonstrated excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of MB under visible light, attributed to the synergistic effects between NG and CeO2. The nanocomposites can be magnetically separated and reused, indicating potential for practical wastewater treatment applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on the photodegradation of MB and may not be directly applicable to other pollutants. The scalability and cost-effectiveness of the synthesis method for large-scale applications are not discussed.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a hydrothermal method for the synthesis of NG nanosheets and NG-CeO2 nanocomposites. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated under visible light irradiation.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Methylene blue dye was used as the model pollutant. The nanocomposites were characterized using XRD, FTIR, TEM, and FE-SEM.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a D8 X-ray diffractometer, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, transmission electron microscope, and field emission scanning electron microscope. Materials included graphite powder flakes, cerium (III) nitrate hexahydrate, and ammonium hydroxide.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved hydrothermal treatment of cerium precursors with NG. Photocatalytic tests were conducted by exposing MB dye solutions to the nanocomposites under visible light and measuring degradation over time.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The degradation efficiency was calculated based on the decrease in MB concentration, measured using UV-Vis spectrophotometry.
