研究目的
To fabricate CuxO (x = 1 and 2) nanoarrays on nanoporous copper via anodic oxidation and investigate their photocatalytic properties for degrading Rhodamine B.
研究成果
The np-Cu/CuxO composite exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity and stability for RhB degradation, attributed to its narrow band gap, heterojunction structure, and high surface area. The free-standing nature facilitates easy recovery, making it promising for practical applications in water treatment.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific conditions such as the use of Ti50Cu50 amorphous ribbon, anodization in 0.2 M KOH at 0.6 V, and testing with RhB dye; scalability and application to other pollutants or industrial settings may require further optimization.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a one-step anodic oxidation method to synthesize CuxO nanoarrays on nanoporous copper (np-Cu) derived from dealloyed Ti50Cu50 amorphous ribbon. The rationale was to create a composite with high surface area and good conductivity for enhanced photocatalytic activity.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared from Ti50Cu50 amorphous ribbons, which were dealloyed to form np-Cu, followed by anodic oxidation in 0.2 M KOH solution at 0.6 V and 293 K for varying times (20, 60, 120 minutes).
3:2 M KOH solution at 6 V and 293 K for varying times (20, 60, 120 minutes). List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included a direct current voltage-regulated power supply for anodization, X-ray diffraction (XRD, DaVinci D8 Focus), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM, JEM-2100F), Scanning electron microscope (SEM, JSM-7100) with EDS, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, K-Alpha), UV–Vis spectrophotometer (UV-6100), and a 500 W Xe lamp. Materials included Ti50Cu50 amorphous ribbon, KOH, Rhodamine B (RhB), H2O2 (30 wt%).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Dealloying of Ti50Cu50 ribbon to form np-Cu, anodic oxidation in KOH solution, characterization using XRD, TEM, SEM, EDS, XPS, and evaluation of photocatalytic activity by degrading RhB under UV light with H2O2 addition, measuring degradation using UV-Vis spectrophotometry.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using XRD for structural identification, TEM and SEM for morphological analysis, EDS and XPS for compositional analysis, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry for photocatalytic performance evaluation, including degradation rates and band gap calculations.
