In this study, MoS2-graphene-tourmaline (MoS2-GR-T) composite photocatalyst was successful synthesized via one-step hydrothermal method. Raman spectra revealed that graphene oxide was reduced to graphene. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that MoS2 was dispersed well on graphene. Transmission electron microscope images showed that MoS2 and tourmaline contacted well with graphene. Analysis of UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra implied that the bandgap energies of MoS2, MoS2-T and MoS2-GR-T samples were 2.01 eV, 1.91 eV and 1.79 eV, respectively. The photocatalytic performances are evidenced under Xenon lamp irradiation utilizing Rhodamine B dye as the model compound. Compared with MoS2 and MoS2-GR, the MoS2-graphene-tourmaline (MoS2-GR-T) composites exhibited the excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation about irradiating for 60 min were 93.9% under visible-light. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of MoS2-GR-T composite could be attributed to the exposed adsorption-photocatalytic active sties, the improved light adsorption ability and the promoted charge separation efficiency. The introduction of tourmaline reduced the band gap explored by analysis of UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra. This work demonstrated that the charge efficiency of photocatalysts could be promoted by coupling both metal-free co-catalyst and polar mineral.

Energi celah pita yang lebar dari semikonduktor TiO2 yang setara dengan cahaya ultraviolet (l<380 nm) membatasi aplikasi fotokatalitik hanya terbatas pada daerah ultraviolet dan tidak pada daerah cahaya tampak (l = 400 nm–700 nm). Pada penelitian ini dilakukan sintesis TiO2 teremban nitrogen yang dipreparasi melalui metode sol-gel. Prekursor TiCl4 digunakan sebagai sumber titanium dioksida dan CO(NH2)2 sebagai sumber nitrogen dan divariasi pada jumlah konsentrasi N dengan variasi 20 g, 30 g, 40 g dan 50 g. Refluks dilakukan pada suhu 100oC selama 7 jam dilanjutkan dengan pengeringan selama 3 jam pada suhu 100oC, dan kalsinasi pada suhu 500oC selama 7 jam . Karakterisasi N-doped TiO2 dilakukan menggunakan X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform–Infra Red spectroscopy (FTIR), dan UV- Visible diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-Vis DRS). Berdasarkan data XRD diketahui bahwa kristal N- doped TiO2 berstruktur anatase dengan indeks Miller 101. Spektra FTIR menunjukkan pergeseran serapan vibrasi O-Ti-O pada bilangan gelombang 400-1050 cm-1, diperkirakan sebagai akibat terbentuknya ikatan N-Ti-O. Spektrum DRS-UV–tampak menunjukkan penurunan energi celah pita dari TiO2 yakni 3,2 eV. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penambahan konsentrasi nitrogen mengakibatkan penurunan energi celah pita, pada variasi 20g sebesar 3,12 eV, 30 g sebesar 3,09 eV, 40 g sebesar 3,082 eV, dan 50 g sebesar 3,08 eV.

Using A Segmented Voltage Sweep Mode and A Gaussian Curve Fitting Method to Improve Heavy Metal Measurement System PerformanceThis paper presents a voltammetric segmented voltage sweep mode that can be used to identify and measure heavy metals' concentrations. The proposed sweep mode covers a set of voltage ranges that are centered around the redox potentials of the metals that are under analysis. The heavy metal measurement system can take advantage of the historical database of measurements to identify the metals with higher concentrations in a given geographical area, and perform a segmented sweep around predefined voltage ranges or, alternatively, the system can perform a fast linear voltage sweep to identify the voltammetric current peaks and then perform a segmented voltage sweep around the set of voltages that are associated with the voltammetric current peaks. The paper also includes the presentation of two auto-calibration modes that can be used to improve system's reliability and proposes the usage of a Gaussian curve fitting of voltammetric data to identify heavy metals and to evaluate their concentrations. Several simulation and experimental results, that validate the theoretical expectations, are also presented in the paper.
