研究目的
To evaluate the potential of zinc rhodium oxide (ZnRh2O4) as a photocatalyst for carbon dioxide reduction using water as an electron source, and to enhance its activity through gold loading and composite formation.
研究成果
ZnRh2O4 functions as a CO2 reduction photocatalyst under infrared light with TEOA as an electron donor, and Au loading enhances its activity. The composite ZnRh2O4/Au/Bi4V2O11 successfully reduces CO2 using H2O as the electron source, evolving CO. Future work should focus on detecting H2 and O2 simultaneously to confirm the reaction mechanism and improve efficiency.
研究不足
The study has limitations such as low apparent quantum efficiency (e.g., 7.4×10-6% for CO under 850 nm light), the need for sacrificial agents like TEOA in some cases, and the inability to simultaneously detect H2 and O2 in the composite system due to measurement constraints. Additionally, the induction period in CO evolution and potential agglomeration of Au at high loadings may affect performance.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing ZnRh2O4 and Bi4V2O11 powders via solid-state reaction, preparing Au nanoparticles by citrate reduction, and creating composites like ZnRh2O4/Au and ZnRh2O4/Au/Bi4V2O
2：CO2 reduction tests were conducted under light irradiation using TEOA or H2O as electron donors. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Commercial powders (ZnO, Rh2O3, Bi2O3, V2O5) were used as starting materials. Samples were characterized by XRD, UV-vis, SEM, STEM, and EDS.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included XRD instrument (PW-1700, PANalytical), UV-vis spectrometer (V-650, JASCO), SEM (JSM-6500F, JEOL Ltd.), STEM (Tecnai Osiris, FEI), gas chromatograph (GC-8A, Shimadzu), Xe lamp (LA-410UV-3, XE4030, Hayashi Tokei), LED lamp (LEDH60-850, Hamamatsu Photonics), and low-temperature circulator (Cool Ace, CCA-1112, EYELA). Materials included ZrO2 balls, BaSO4, and various chemical reagents.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Powders were synthesized by ball milling and calcination. Au NPs were prepared by mixing reagents at 70°C. Composites were made by mixing, drying, and calcining. For CO2 reduction, samples were suspended in TEOA or H2O, purged with CO2, and irradiated with light while monitoring gas evolution.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Gas evolution was analyzed using GC with FID and methanizer. AQE was calculated based on evolution rates and incident photon rates.
