TiO2/Schwertmannite nanocomposites as superior co-catalysts in heterogeneous photo-Fenton process
摘要: The heterogeneous photo-Fenton reaction is an effective technique in combating organic contaminants for both soil and water remediation, and extensive studies have focused on enhancing its efficiency and reducing its costs. In this work, we developed novel photo-Fenton catalysts by simply milling commercially available TiO2 (P25) with Schwertmannite (Sh), a natural iron-oxyhydroxysulfate nanomineral. We expect that the photo-generated electrons from TiO2 could continuously migrate to Sh, which then could enhance the separation of electron-hole pairs on TiO2 and accelerate the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) on Sh, leading to high degradation efficiency of the target organic contaminants. SEM and TEM results showed the distribution of TiO2 on Sh surface for the nanocomposites (TiO2/Sh). Under simulated sunlight irradiation, the much higher content of Fe(II) was determined on TiO2/Sh than on Sh via a common method in the iron ore, and the consumption of H2O2 and the production of ?OH were more significant in the TiO2/Sh system than those in the TiO2 and Sh systems. These results well support our hypothesis that the photo-generated electrons could migrate from TiO2 to Sh on the composites, and can also explain the much higher degradation efficiency of Rhodamine B (RhB) in the TiO2/Sh system. Besides, TiO2/Sh had lower Fe dissolution as compared with Sh, and retained high catalytic stability after four repeated cycles. Above merits of the TiO2/Sh composites, in combining with their simple synthesis method and low-cost property, indicated that they should have promising applications as heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalysts.

Efficient degradation of phenol using Sn4+ doped FeOCl as photo-Fenton catalyst
摘要: Sn4+ doped FeOCl has been successfully synthetized as a sunlight-driven photo-Fenton catalyst, which shows that the catalytic activity of Sn4+/FeOCl (1.08% Sn4+ in the Sn4+/FeOCl) is a factor of 11.8 time higher than that of FeOCl. The doping of Sn4+ in FeOCl increases the optical adsorption and surface area of FeOCl. The decreased chemical bond strength of Fe-Cl in Sn4+/FeOCl effectively increases the number of exposed active sites (Fe-site and Sn-site), which boosts the production of ·OH radicals. The Sn-site shows higher catalytic activity than Fe-site. A synergistic mechanism for Sn4+/FeOCl is proposed for the enhanced catalytic performance.

Ultraviolet-light-assisted heterogeneous Fenton reaction of Ag-Fe3O4/graphene composites for the degradation of organic dyes
摘要: In this study, Fe3O4/graphene and Ag-Fe3O4/graphene composites with varying content of graphene and Ag were prepared and used as a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for the degradation of MO and MB under UV-light irradiation. The physicochemical properties of the obtained catalysts were used for the Fenton reaction. In addition, the effects of graphene and Ag content, pH, H2O2 concentration, catalyst loading, and initial MO and MB concentrations on the degradation by the UV-Fenton process were evaluated. Results revealed that the highest removal efficiency of MO and MB is achieved at graphene and Ag concentrations of 10 and 25 wt%, respectively. Furthermore, Ag-Fe3O4/graphene composites were used to assess the degradation of a mixture of MO and MB and other anionic and cationic dyes. Results revealed that Ag-Fe3O4/graphene composites can be used as a broad-spectrum catalyst with good efficiency for the removal of several dye contaminants in water. Moreover, the effect of the addition of ascorbic acid (AA) on dye degradation was investigated. AA accelerated the degradation of organic dyes compared to that without AA. The obtained results revealed that Ag-Fe3O4/graphene composites exhibit stable catalytic activity and reusability after four successive runs.

Preparation of Mesoporous Fe2O3-Supported ZSM-5 Zeolites by Carbon-Templating and their Evaluation as Photo-Fenton Catalysts to Degrade Organic Pollutant
摘要: Mesoporous Fe2O3-supported ZSM-5 zeolites were prepared by carbon-templating and subsequently evaluated as photo-Fenton catalysts to degrade a dye used as a model heavy organic pollutant. The synthesis procedure of the mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites was performed employing a nucleating gel and carbon particles as mesopores template. Thereafter, the precursor salt of the iron oxide (Fe2O3) was impregnated and then calcined to obtain the final catalyst. For comparison purposes, a conventional Fe2O3-supported ZSM-5 zeolite was also prepared. The results showed that the amount of intracrystalline mesopores formed in the ZSM-5 crystals was influenced by the amount of carbon added into the synthesis mixture. In comparison to the conventional prepared catalyst, the mesoporous Fe2O3/ZSM-5 ones showed an improved performance in the degradation of the target organic pollutant by the photo-Fenton reaction, which was attributed to the improvement of their textural properties as consequence of the mesopores generation.

A strategy for preparing non-fluorescent graphene oxide quantum dots as fluorescence quenchers in quantitative real-time PCR
摘要: In recent years, graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) have emerged as novel nanomaterials for optical sensing, bioimaging, clinical testing, and environmental testing. However, GOQDs demonstrate unique photoluminescence properties, with GOQDs having quantum limitations and edge effects that often affect the accuracy of the test results in the sensory field. Herein, GOQDs with a large content of hydroxyl groups and low fluorescence intensity were first prepared via an improved Fenton reaction in this study, which introduces a large amount of epoxy groups to break the C–C bonds. The synthesized GOQDs show no significant variation in the fluorescence intensity upon ultraviolet and visible light excitations. We further utilized the GOQDs as fluorescence quenchers for different fluorescent dyes in real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and verified that the addition of GOQDs (5.3 mg ml?1) into a qRT-PCR system could reduce the background fluorescence intensity of the reaction by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) during its initial stage and its non-specific amplification, and improve its specificity. In addition, the qRT-PCR method could detect two different lengths of DNA sequences with a high specificity in the 104 to 1010 copies per ml range. It is of paramount importance to carry out further investigations to establish an efficient, sensitive, and specific RT-PCR method based on the use of GOQD nanomaterials as fluorescence quenchers.

Dual Role of Graphene Quantum Dots in Active Layer of Inverted Bulk Heterojunction Organic Photovoltaic Devices
摘要: Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have shown broad application prospects in the field of photovoltaic devices due to their unique quantum confinement and edge effects. Here, we prepared GQDs by a photon-Fenton reaction as reported in our previous work, which has great advantage in the preparation scale. The photoelectric properties of the inverted hybrid solar cells based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT): (6,6)-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methylester (PCBM):GQDs and P3HT:GQDs with different contents of GQDs as the active layers are demonstrated, as well as their morphology and structure by atomic force microscopy images. Then, the different roles of GQDs played in the ternary (P3HT:PCBM:GQDs) and binary (P3HT:GQDs) hybrid solar cells are studied systematically. The results indicate that the GQDs provide an efficient excition separation interface and charge transport channel for the improvement of hybrid solar cells. The preliminary exploration and elaboration of the role of GQDs in hybrid solar cells will be beneficial to understand the interfacial procedure and improve device performance in the future.

Novel up-conversion carbon quantum dots/α-FeOOH nanohybrids eliminate tetracycline and its related drug resistance in visible-light responsive Fenton system
摘要: In this study, novel up-converted carbon quantum dots (CQD) incorporated goethite (α-FeOOH) nanohybrids (CQDs/α-FeOOH) were fabricated via a facile hydrolysis method. CQDs/α-FeOOH exhibited remarkably degradation efficiency towards tetracycline (TC, 0.1503 min-1), approximately 3.7 times than pristine α-FeOOH with much lower amount of H2O2 (0.5 mM) under visible light irradiation (λ>420 nm). The quenching and electron spin resonance (ESR) tests proved ·OH, O2·- and 1O2 were involved in TC degradation in CQDs/α-FeOOH catalyzed Fenton system. The potential Ultraviolet-Visible-Infrared (UV–vis-IR) broad-spectrum responsive properties of CQDs/α-FeOOH were proved in degradation various surface charged organic contaminants regarding the function of coupling up-conversion CQDs. CQDs/α-FeOOH also exhibited wide application pH, excellent durability, fairly good catalytic performance within different practical water matrices and completely eliminated related drug resistance of TC even under real solar-light conditions. The good biocompatibility makes CQDs/α-FeOOH served as a promising photocatalyst for remediation of water contamination with efficient utilization of solar energy.
