Ternary photocatalyst based on conducting polymer doped functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes decorated with nanorods of metal oxide
摘要： The ternary photocatalyst PEDOT@ZnO@MWCNTs was fabricated using chemical oxidative method of polymerization. The fabrication of the catalyst was further investigated using spectroscopic techniques namely UV–Visible, FT-IR, XRD and the surface morphology was explored by SEM and TEM. The photodegradation kinetics of the azo dye MO followed pseudo first order kinetics at different pH. The photodegradation of the dye was studied in presence of PEDOT@ZnO@MWCNTs on irradiation with visible source of light. The redox activity of the photocatalyst was investigated by cyclic voltammetric technique and the mechanism of the photocatalysis was established via electronic impedance study. The evaluated value of rate constant, half life time period and the degradation efficiency sustenance the competence of the photocatalyst for the photodegradation of MO at the optimum pH value of 3.5. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis was also favored the mineralization of the dye in presence of photocatalyst.

General Synthesis of Ordered Mesoporous Rare-Earth Orthovanadate Thin Films and Their Use as Photocatalysts and Phosphors for Lighting Applications
摘要： Herein, the block copolymer templating sol-gel synthesis of a novel class of ternary oxide nanomaterials is reported. NdVO4, EuVO4, GdVO4, DyVO4, YVO4, and TmVO4 have been prepared as open mesoporous films by the dip-coating method using hydrated rare-earth nitrate salt precursors along with vanadium oxytrichloride. All materials crystallize in the tetragonal ZrSiO4-type structure with space-group I41/amd. Short-term treatment at 550 °C is found sufficient to initiate crystallization. Characterization via X-ray and electron diffraction, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry confirms the single-phase nature and uniformity of the different orthovanadates with tailorable crystallite sizes. The integrated results from electron and atomic force microscopy, Kr-physisorption as well as in-situ and ex-situ synchrotron-based small-angle X-ray scattering reveal that the porosity persists throughout the thickness of films and the mesoscopic ordering is retained even after heating in air at 700 °C. Photobleaching experiments indicate that the sol-gel derived materials, showing an indirect band gap transition at (3.8±0.1) eV, exhibit good photocatalytic properties—the activity is highly superior to that of bulk films of the same nominal composition. Moreover, when doping GdVO4, YVO4, and solid solution GdVO4-YVO4 with trivalent rare-earth ions such as Eu3+, Dy3+, Er3+, or Tm3+ ions, the films hold promise as phosphors for lighting applications, which might pave the way toward development of (3-dimensional) intricate nanocomposites with unprecedented functionalities.

A cyanide-bridged di-manganese carbonyl complex that photochemically reduces CO <sub/>2</sub> to CO
摘要： A cyanide-bridged di-manganese carbonyl complex that photochemically reduces CO2 to CO? Hsin-Ya Kuo, Tia S. Lee, An T. Chu, Steven E. Tignor, Gregory D. Scholes and Andrew B. Bocarsly* Manganese(I) tricarbonyl complexes such as [Mn(bpy)(CO)3L] (L = Br, or CN) are known to be electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction to CO. However, due to their rapid photodegradation under UV and visible light, these monomeric manganese complexes have not been considered as photocatalysts for CO2 reduction without the use of a photosensitizer. In this paper, we report a cyanide-bridged di-manganese complex, {[Mn(bpy)(CO)3]2(μ-CN)}ClO4, which is both electrocatalytic and photochemically active for CO2 reduction to CO. Compared to the [Mn(bpy)(CO)3CN] electrocatalyst, our CN-bridged binuclear complex is a more efficient electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction using H2O as a proton source. In addition, we report a photochemical CO2 reduction to CO using the dimanganese complex under 395 nm irradiation.

Influence of pretreatment on surface interaction between Cu and anatase-TiO2 in the simultaneous photoremediation of nitrate and oxalic acid
摘要： Copper-promoted anatase-type TiO2 photocatalysts (2.5 wt% Cu) were prepared by wet impregnation onto TiO2 which was pre-calcined at 600°C and the other not subjected to any thermal pre-treatment. In the latter case, the material was inactive for the photo-reduction of nitrate whereas 600°C pre-calcined TiO2 yielded a material which was active for the same reaction. The surface properties of the materials were determined by BET Surface area, SEM TEM, XRD, XPS, TPR, UV-Visible diffuse reflectance, DTA, N2O pulsed chemisorption and FTIR studies. The BET and XRD and DTA showed that pre-calcination of TiO2 stabilised the support, but coalescence of particles was observed in TiO2 that was not subjected to any thermal pre-treatment as evidenced by crystallite growth. Similarly, XPS, FTIR and TPR proved the formation of Cu2O particles on the surface of pre-calcined TiO2. On the other hand, the absence of pre-calcination step resulted in interring of Cu species within the grown anatase crystallites that hindered their proper distribution over TiO2, helped in its inactiveness in the photoreduction of nitrate. However, the prepared material using pre-calcined TiO2 showed the overall nitrate and oxalic acid removal efficiency of 31 and 70% with N2 and NH4+ selectivity of 44.9 and 55.1 %, respectively. The results provide insight into the significance of activity-structure relation, inferring that the two surfaces were chemically not similar. Thus, as even supported by adsorption experiment, difference in photocatalytic behaviour amongst the prepared materials was a function of crystallinity, particle size, absence of surface defect and high energy sites.

Solar water splitting over Rh <sub/>0.5</sub> Cr <sub/>1.5</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> -loaded AgTaO <sub/>3</sub> of a valence-band-controlled metal oxide photocatalyst
摘要： Improvement of water splitting performance of AgTaO3 (BG 3.4 eV) of a valence-band-controlled photocatalyst was examined. Survey of cocatalysts revealed that a Rh0.5Cr1.5O3 cocatalyst was much more effective than Cr2O3, RuO2, NiO and Pt for water splitting into H2 and O2 in a stoichiometric amount. The optimum loading amount of the Rh0.5Cr1.5O3 cocatalyst was 0.2 wt%. The apparent quantum yield (AQY) at 340 nm of the optimized Rh0.5Cr1.5O3(0.2 wt%)/AgTaO3 photocatalyst reached to about 40%. Rh0.5Cr1.5O3(0.2 wt%)/AgTaO3 gave a solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency (STH) of 0.13% for photocatalytic water splitting under simulated sunlight irradiation. Bubbles of gasses evolved by the solar water splitting were visually observed under atmospheric pressure at room temperature.

A novel photocatalyst, Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li/Pt-NaNbxTa1?xO3, for highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under visible-light irradiation
摘要： In this work, Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li, as an excellent up-conversion luminescence agent from visible-light to ultraviolet-light, is synthesized by using sol-gel method. And then, a series of Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li/NaNbxTa1?xO3 (x = 0.00, 0.25 and 0.50) with different amounts of Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li are prepared by using hydrothermal method. The prepared samples are characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV–vis absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The activities of Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li/Pt-NaNbxTa1?xO3 are investigated through photocatalytic hydrogen evolution in 10 vol% methanol solution under visible-light irradiation. The influences of Nb content in NaNbxTa1?xO3, mass ratio of Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li and NaNb0.5Ta0.5O3, visible-light irradiation time and reuse-times are examined on the visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The experimental results showed that the prepared Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li/Pt-NaNb0.5Ta0.5O3 with 0.4:1.0 mass ratio of Y2SiO5:Pr3+,Li and NaNb0.5Ta0.5O3 and 0.25 wt% Pt loading displayed a highest evolved hydrogen activity under visible-light irradiation. This study may provide some significant references for large scale photocatalytic hydrogen evolution utilizing solar energy.

Adsorption and Photocatalytic Decomposition of Gaseous 2-Propanol Using TiO2-Coated Porous Glass Fiber Cloth
摘要： Combinations of TiO2 photocatalysts and various adsorbents have been extensively investigated for eliminating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at low concentrations. Herein, TiO2 and porous glass cloth composites were prepared by acid leaching and subsequent TiO2 dip-coating of the electrically applied glass (E-glass) cloth, and its adsorption and photocatalytic ability were investigated. Acid leaching increased the specific surface area of the E-glass cloth from 1 to 430 m2/g while maintaining sufficient mechanical strength for supporting TiO2. Further, the specific surface area remained large (290 m2/g) after TiO2 coating. In the photocatalytic decomposition of gaseous 2-propanol, the TiO2-coated porous glass cloth exhibited higher adsorption and photocatalytic decomposition ability than those exhibited by the TiO2-coated, non-porous glass cloth. The porous composite limited desorption of acetone, which is a decomposition intermediate of 2-propanol, until 2-propanol was completely decomposed to CO2. The CO2 generation rate was affected by the temperature condition (15 or 35 °C) and the water content (2 or 18 mg/L); the latter also influenced 2-propanol adsorption in photocatalytic decomposition. Both the conditions may change the diffusion and adsorption behavior of 2-propanol in the porous composite. As demonstrated by its high adsorption and photocatalytic ability, the composite (TiO2 and porous glass cloth) effectively eliminates VOCs, while decreasing the emission of harmful intermediates.

Lewis acid activated CO <sub/>2</sub> reduction over a Ni modified Ni–Ge hydroxide driven by visible-infrared light
摘要： Improvement of light harvesting and reaction kinetics is of great importance for achieving efficient solar-driven CO2 reduction. Here, a Ni modified low-crystalline Ni–Ge containing hydroxide with Lewis acid sites was synthesized in highly reductive NaBH4 solution and exhibited 9.3 μmol gcat.?1 h?1 CO and 3.5 μmol gcat.?1 h?1 CH4 generation rates under visible light irradiation, and even achieved a 3.8 μmol gcat.?1 h?1 CO evolution under infrared light irradiation. The wide-spectrum light harvesting resulted from the light absorption from the localized surface plasmonic resonance of Ni nanoparticles. In addition, the Lewis acid can activate CvO bonds to decrease the kinetic barriers of CO2 reduction. The design concept that rationally combines the advantages of expanding the spectral response and activating CO2 may offer a new strategy for efficient solar energy utilization.

Self-generating CeVO4 as conductive channel within CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 to induce Z-scheme-charge-transfer driven photocatalytic degradation coupled with hydrogen production
摘要： The construction of highly efficient Z-scheme photocatalytic system is regarded as a hot research topic in the fields of environmental remediation and renewable energy production. In this work, a novel Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 photocatalyst is successfully prepared by using solid phase reaction method. The photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutant (Methylene Blue) with simultaneous hydrogen production is efficiently realized over the prepared Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 photocatalysts under visible-light irradiation. The effects of treatment temperatures and treatment times of CeO2/V2O5 composite on the photocatalytic performance of Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 photocatalyst are studied. The as-prepared Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 (550-3) photocatalyst heat-treated at 550 °C for 3.0 h exhibits the highest photocatalytic performance. It can be ascribed to a moderate amount of CeVO4 nanoparticles generated between CeO2 and V2O5. The generated CeVO4 nanoparticles can be used as effective conductive channel to transfer the photo-generated carriers. At the same time, as redox reaction centers it can further accelerate the transfer of photo-generated electrons, effectively enhancing the separation efficiency of photo-generated electron and hole pairs. Furthermore, cyclic test demonstrates that the as-prepared Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 (550-3) photocatalyst still maintains a high level of photocatalytic activity within five periods under the same conditions. Moreover, the related photocatalytic mechanism for degradation of organic pollutants with simultaneous hydrogen evolution over the Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 (550-3) photocatalyst is proposed. Perhaps, this study affords a simple and novel method to design and develop next generation of highly efficient Z-scheme photocatalysts.

Preparation of visible-light-responsive photocatalyst by dehydronitrization of gallium oxide hydroxide for hydrogen evolution from water
摘要： We have performed dehydronitrization of GaOOH under NH3 flow to produce nitrogen doped Ga2O3 and examined their photocatalytic activities for H2 evolution from an aqueous methanol solution under visible light irradiation. GaOOH was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment and dehydronitrided at a temperature ranging from 773 K to 1273 K under NH3 flow. At first, GaOOH was dehydrided to Ga2O3 under 873 K and followed nitrization. With increasing dehydronitrization temperature, the products were getting closer to full nitride (GaN). Among all dehydronitrided samples, only one sample sintered at 1173 K showed photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation and its crystalline structure had not changed before and after the reactions, while other samples did not show the activity and were oxidized to GaOOH. From thermodynamical aspect, if nitrogen dissolved into oxide or making oxynitride, its chemical potential must be lower than that of N in GaN. Therefore, there should be some gallium oxinitride phase like GaNyO3-x stable in water showing photocatalytic activity.
