Abstract

 This work explores the impact of reaction temperature during thermal exfoliation treatment of bulk-g-C3N4 in the air atmosphere on the structure and performance of the resulting CN photocatalyst. The analysis conducted using XRD, FT-IR, XPS, SEM, and elements mapping tests, illustrated an increase in nitrogen-vacancy and oxygen content on the surface of the CN photocatalyst, resulting in a porous and sparse structure, changes in crystal size, and improved visible light absorption performance. The photocatalytic reduction experiments of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) showed that the CN-540 showed the highest reduction rate of 96.9%, with a reaction rate constant 6.21 times that of bulk-g-C3N4. After 100 min of illumination, the photocatalytic degradation rates of CN-540 for TC-HCl and RhB were 66.7% and 60.6%, respectively. The TOC test results indicated mineralization rates of 51.5% for TC-HCl and 46.6% for RhB. Room temperature fluorescence spectroscopy (PL), transient photocurrent response (TPC), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements confirmed the excellent photogenerated charge carrier separation and transport efficiency of CN-540. The photocatalytic mechanism for reducing Cr(VI) by CN-540 was elucidated based on the active species •OH and •O2– and Mott-Schottky (M-S) tests. This study provides experimental data for optimizing the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4 and paves a new way for developing efficient photocatalysts.

Abstract

The photocatalytic activity of tin dioxide (SnO2) is limited due to its inadequate response to the solar spectrum, wide band gap, and low visible light photocatalytic activity. Here, we synthesized conjugated polyvinyl alcohol (CPVA) modified tin dioxide (CPVA/SnO2) through in-situ hydrothermal synthesis and evaluated its performance for photocatalytic reduction of hexavalent chromium Cr(VI). A series of testing and characterization results revealed that CPVA was uniformly coated on the surface of SnO2, forming a mesoporous CPVA/SnO2 heterojunction with enhanced crystallinity and reduced oxygen defects, which resulted in an expanded light absorption range towards the red light region. The reaction rate constant of CPVA/SnO2-A for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) under visible light (0.060 min-1) was 6 times higher than that of homemade CPVA/TiO2 and 2.87 times higher than that of SnO2 for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) under UV light (0.0209 min-1). The photocatalytic mechanism indicates that CPVA/SnO2 exhibited significantly enhanced performance under UV-light irradiation by forming a type II heterojunction. When CPVA/SnO2 was exposed to visible light, photogenerated electrons on the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of CPVA were efficiently transferred to the surface of SnO2 through the CPVA/SnO2 heterojunction, reducing electron-hole recombination while also photosensitizing the photocatalyst and promoting efficient photocatalysis under visible light illumination. Ultimately, this process effectively reduces Cr(VI) to Cr(III). Copyright © 2024 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.

Abstract

The crystal structure and morphology of photocatalysts play a crucial role in determining their photocatalytic performance. In this study, we synthesized and investigated 1D/2D Bi2S3 as a potential visible-light-activated photocatalyst for the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI). The 1D/2D Bi2S3 was synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis technique by heating Bi2(H2O)2(SO4)2(OH)2 precursor and sodium sulfide at 190 ℃ for 24 h, where the molar ratio of Bi to S elements in the reaction reagents was changed from 1:6 to 2:3. The structure, composition, and optoelectronic properties of the prepared Bi2S3 were characterized using X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, field emission scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectra, and transient photocurrent. It is shown that the prepared orthorhombic Bi2S3 has full-spectrum photoresponsivity. Bi2S3-B with 1D/2D heterogeneous structure exhibits the lowest charge carrier transport resistance, and its photocurrent intensity is nearly twice that of Bi2S3-C. It demonstrates the highest photocatalytic activity in visible-light photocatalytic reduction of aqueous Cr(VI), with a reduction rate of 54.5% after 140 minutes of light exposure. According to the bandgap of Bi2S3 and radical scavenger experiments, a reaction mechanism for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) by Bi2S3 was proposed. Furthermore, the results highlight the economic and environmentally friendly nature of the hydrothermal synthesis method using homemade precursors, which allows for the regulation of Bi2S3 morphology and the enhancement of its visible photocatalytic activity.
