双Z型ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4@g-C3N4复合光催化剂的制备及其光催化降解性能

Preparation and photocatalytic degradation performance of dual Z-Scheme ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4@g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst

  • 摘要: 为了寻求用于环境修复的高效光催化剂,多组分异质结体系的开发引起了人们的广泛关注。本研究通过在ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4微米棒催化剂的外表面上涂覆类石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)层,合成了ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4@g-C3N4三元光催化剂。通过亚甲基蓝(MB)和双酚A(BPA)的降解实验评估了该复合材料的光催化活性。此外,系统研究了不同g-C3N4含量的催化剂的性能。结果表明,ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4@g-C3N4复合催化剂在MB溶液中表现出显着的降解性能。当g-C3N4含量为10wt.%时,光催化活性达到最佳,在可见光照射下MB的降解率高达96%,遵循准一级动力学。此外,在循环运行期间观察到显著的稳定性。X射线衍射(XRD)图表明催化剂中没有检测到银单质。三元光催化性能的增强机制可归因于三种组分之间形成的双Z型异质结构的协同效应,有利于光生载流子的有效分离和转移,以及g-C3N4的吸附能力增强底物催化剂相互作用,共同促进光催化性能的提高。

     

    Abstract: In the quest for efficient photocatalysts for environmental remediation, the development of multi-component heterojunction systems has garnered significant attention. This study synthesized a ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4@g-C3N4 ternary photocatalyst by coating a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) layer on the outer surface of ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4 microrod catalysts. The photocatalytic activity of the composite material was evaluated through degradation experiments of methylene blue (MB) and bisphenol A (BPA). Additionally, the performance of catalysts with different g-C3N4 contents was systematically investigated. The results demonstrates that the ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4@g-C3N4 composite catalyst exhibits remarkable degradation performance in MB solution. When the g-C3N4 content is 10wt.%, the photocatalytic activity reaches its optimum, achieving a degradation rate of up to 96% for MB under visible light irradiation, following pseudo-first-order kinetics. Furthermore, significant stability is observed during cyclic operation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicates that no Ag elemental silver is detected in the catalyst. The enhanced mechanism of the ternary photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of the dual Z-scheme heterostructure formed among the three components, which facilitates the effective separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers, as well as the enhanced adsorption capacity of g-C3N4 that strengthens the substrate-catalyst interaction, collectively promoting the improvement of photocatalytic performance.
