研究目的
To synthesize BiOCl/Bi2WO6 nanocomposites using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method and evaluate their photocatalytic efficiency for degrading organic pollutants in wastewater under visible light.
研究成果
The 80 wt% BiOCl/Bi2WO6 nanocomposites synthesized via microwave-assisted hydrothermal method exhibited the highest photocatalytic efficiency and stability, with minimal activity loss after four cycles. The heterojunction structure enhances electron-hole separation, leading to improved performance under visible light. This makes the nanocomposites promising for photocatalytic applications in wastewater treatment.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific organic pollutants (rhodamine B and salicylic acid) and does not explore a wider range of contaminants or real wastewater samples. The microwave-assisted method may have scalability issues for industrial applications. The mechanism proposed is based on theoretical calculations and may require further experimental validation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The synthesis involved a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method for fast heating and high yield. Characterization techniques included XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, FE-SEM, and PL spectroscopy to analyze phase, morphology, and optical properties. Photocatalytic activity was assessed by degrading rhodamine B and salicylic acid under visible light.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Analytical grade chemical reagents were used without further treatment. Samples included pure BiOCl, pure Bi2WO6, and BiOCl/Bi2WO6 nanocomposites with varying weight percentages (30%, 50%, 70%, 80%).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included an X-ray diffractometer (Rigaku SmartLab), Raman spectrometer (HORIBA JOBIN-YVON T64000), FE-SEM (JEOL JSM 6335F), XPS (Kratos Axis Ultra DLD), luminescence spectrometer (Perkin Elmer LS 50B), UV-visible spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer Lambda 25), and a microwave oven (270 W, 2.45 GHz). Materials included Bi(NO3)3·5H2O, Na2WO4·2H2O, KCl, ethylene glycol, HNO3, NH4OH, DI water, ethanol, rhodamine B, and salicylic acid.
4:45 GHz). Materials included Bi(NO3)3·5H2O, Na2WO4·2H2O, KCl, ethylene glycol, HNO3, NH4OH, DI water, ethanol, rhodamine B, and salicylic acid. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Solutions A and B were prepared, mixed, pH adjusted to 7, stirred, and heated in a microwave oven for 50 min (10 cycles of 5 min irradiation and 5 min non-irradiation). Products were filtered, washed, dried, and characterized. Photocatalytic tests involved stirring catalyst in organic solutions in the dark for 30 min, then irradiating with a Xe lamp, sampling every 10 min, and measuring concentration with a spectrophotometer.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Photocatalytic degradation efficiency was calculated using a formula based on concentration changes. Kinetics followed a pseudo-first-order model with rate constants determined from linear plots. PL intensity was used to assess recombination rates of electron-hole pairs.
