Templating Effect

The photooxidation process of aniline-containing simulated wastewater under visible light irradiation over BiOBr microcrystal grains with different shapes was studied. The distinctive surface microstructures of the BiOBr microcrystals, like clustered flower petals and quadrate lamellas, were produced by using imidazole ionic liquid and inorganic bromide as Br sources and by solvothermal and hydrothermal route, respectively. The ionic liquid not only can impact the products’ morphology, but also can largely improve the photocatalytic activity of the BiOBr microcrystals due to the soft templating effect. The top degradation ratio of the aniline wastewater photocatalyzed by lamellar BiOBr crystals is 23.71%, but the equivalent value photocatalyzed by flower petal-like BiOBr crystals is almost twice as much; that is, it reaches 46.51%. The photodegradation effect and mechanism over differently shaped BiOBr microcrystals have been compared.

ABSTRACTA facile hydrothermal route assisted by polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 was utilized to synthesize single-phase Bi2Fe4O9 crystallites. X-ray diffraction results showed the products with PEG 400 of 30 g/L exhibited a preferred growth along the (001) plane. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that the morphology of the as-prepared Bi2Fe4O9 crystallites with PEG 400 were plake-like and rod-like. Strong absorption in visible-light region of the products was characterized by UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV-DRS). The photocatalytic activity of Bi2Fe4O9 crystallites was evaluated on degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible light irradiation. For 3 h irradiation, the degradation ratio was increased to 93% with the aid of a small amount of H2O2. The analysis of FT-IR spectra proved that the Bi2Fe4O9 catalysts were remained stable after the photocalytic reactions.

La3+/halogen (F-, Cl-and Br-) co-doped TiO2was synthesized by alkoxide hydrolysis method. The prepared La3+/halogen TiO2photocatalysts with anatase phases and rutile phases were characterized with XRD, EDS, TEM and surface area analytic technology. Methyl orange was used as model pollutants to evaluate its visible light photocatalytic activity. The results showed that the co-doping of La3+and halogen ions improved the surface area of TiO2. Compared with 450°C and 650°C, La3+/Cl-and La3+/Br-co-doped TiO2calcined at 550°C exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity. The optimal doping ratio of La3+/F-, La3+/Cl-and La3+/Br-was 0.4, 0.6, and 0.5 ((wt%)/(wt%)), respectively. Moreover, the degradation ratio of methyl orange on La3+/halogen co-doped TiO2with the optimal ratio were all higher than the maximum degradation ratio on La3+, F-, Cl-and Br-doped TiO2prepared by the same method.

Bi4Ti3O12 square plates were synthesized via a hydrothermal route, and their growth process was systematically investigated. Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were prepared using glucose as the carbon source, which were then assembled on the surface of Bi4Ti3O12 square plates via a hydrothermal route with the aim of enhancing the photocatalytic performance. XRD (X-ray powder diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), UV-vis DRS (diffuse reflectance spectroscopy), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), PL (photoluminescence) spectroscopy, EIS (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and photocurrent spectroscopy were used to systematically characterize the as-prepared samples. It is demonstrated that the decoration of CQDs on Bi4Ti3O12 plates leads to an increased visible light absorption, slightly increased bandgap, increased photocurrent density, decreased charge-transfer resistance, and decreased PL intensity. Simulated sunlight and visible light were separately used as a light source to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the samples toward the degradation of RhB in aqueous solution. Under both simulated sunlight and visible light irradiation, CQDs@Bi4Ti3O12 composites with an appropriate amount of CQDs exhibit obviously enhanced photocatalytic performance. However, the decoration of excessive CQDs gives rise to a decrease in the photocatalytic activity. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of CQDs-modified Bi4Ti3O12 can be attributed to the following reasons: (1) The electron transfer between Bi4Ti3O12 and CQDs promotes an efficient separation of photogenerated electron/hole pairs in Bi4Ti3O12; (2) the up-conversion photoluminescence emitted from CQDs could induce the generation of additional electron/hole pairs in Bi4Ti3O12; and (3) the photoexcited electrons in CQDs could participate in the photocatalytic reactions.
