研究目的
To develop a new method for synthesizing copper(II) oxide nanorods electrochemically and investigate their application in photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol under visible light.
研究成果
Copper(II) oxide nanorods were successfully synthesized electrochemically and demonstrated high efficiency in photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol under visible light without additional oxidizers. The method is simple, cost-effective, and scalable, with the nanorods showing stability over multiple reuse cycles. This approach holds promise for environmental remediation applications.
研究不足
The synthesis and photocatalytic experiments were conducted under specific conditions (e.g., no surfactant, static synthesis, neutral pH) which may limit generalizability. The scale of synthesis and application might need optimization for industrial use. The study focused on DCP degradation; applicability to other pollutants was not explored.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed an electrochemical synthesis method under surfactant-free, static conditions to produce CuO nanorods, chosen for its simplicity, low cost, and control over morphology. The photocatalytic degradation experiments were designed to assess the nanorods' efficiency in degrading DCP under visible light.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Copper wires (99.99% purity) were used as electrodes. Potassium nitrate served as the electrolyte. 2,4-Dichlorophenol (DCP) was used as a probe pollutant in aqueous solutions.

List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included a Pmax SPS-305 DC power supply, Philips PW1730 diffractometer for XRD, UV-2100 Shimadzu spectrophotometer for UV-Vis, FE-SEM (TE-SCAN, MIRA III), TEM (Philips CM120), and EDX. Materials were copper wires, potassium nitrate, deionized water, ethanol, and DCP.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involved dissolving potassium nitrate in water, placing copper electrodes, applying 15-30 V DC for 5 min, heating to 85°C, washing, and drying. Characterization included XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, EDX, and UV-Vis. Photocatalytic tests involved adding catalyst to DCP solution, stirring in dark for equilibrium, irradiating with a 200-W tungsten lamp, sampling, filtering, and measuring absorbance.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
XRD data were compared to JCPDS standards. Band gap was calculated from UV-Vis data using the Tauc plot method. Photocatalytic degradation kinetics were analyzed as first-order reactions using linear regression of ln(C0/C) vs. time.
