研究目的
To synthesize and study the visible light photocatalytic properties of 3D BiFeO3/graphene composites, focusing on the effects of graphene oxide concentration on their morphology and performance.
研究成果
The 3D BFO/graphene composites exhibit significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light, with optimal performance at a GO concentration of 3 mg/mL, achieving 92% degradation of MB in 140 min. This is due to increased specific surface area and improved electron-hole separation. The composites show promise for photocatalysis applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific synthesis conditions (hydrothermal method, certain temperatures and times) and focuses only on methylene blue degradation under visible light. The mechanism of enhancement is attributed to surface area and electron transport, but other factors may not be fully explored. Scalability and real-world application feasibility are not addressed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A hydrothermal method was used to synthesize BFO submicron cubes and 3D BFO/graphene composites. The effects of hydrothermal time, precursor pH, and GO concentration on crystallization and photocatalytic properties were investigated.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
BFO was synthesized from Bi(NO3)3?5H2O and Fe(NO3)3?9H2O in a 1:1 molar ratio. GO was synthesized from natural graphite powder using a modified Hummer's method.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Chemicals from Aladdin, deionized water, NaOH solution, hydrogen peroxide, ascorbic acid, methylene blue dye. Equipment includes hydrothermal reactor, centrifuge, freeze-dryer, CHI660E electrochemical workstation, xenon lamp, SEM (S-4800, Hitachi), Raman spectroscope (Renishawin Via Raman Microscope), XRD (Siemens D5005), BET analyzer (Micromeritics ASAP 2020 M), UV-vis spectrometer (UV-2401PC, Shimadzu), TGA (PYRIS 1, PerkinElmer), TOC analyzer (Liquid Toc2, Elemenear).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
BFO synthesis involved hydrothermal reaction at 200°C for 72 h with pH >
5:Composites were prepared by adding BFO to GO solutions with varying concentrations, reducing with ascorbic acid, and hydrothermal reaction at 160°C for 6 h. Photocatalytic tests used a three-electrode system with xenon lamp irradiation, measuring degradation of MB dye. Data Analysis Methods:
XRD and Raman for structural analysis, BET for surface area, UV-vis for band gap calculation using (αhν)^2 vs. hν plot, photocurrent measurements, and degradation rates from absorbance measurements.
