  • 摘要: 利用太阳能和机械振动能产氢并同时降解污染物是解决能源短缺和环境污染的一种非常有前景的策略。传统光催化制氢依赖空穴牺牲剂与助催化剂,造成资源浪费与成本上升。本文采用水热-烧结法制备了一维ZnFe2O4/NaNbO3复合纳米棒,将窄带隙ZnFe2O4原位生长于压电NaNbO3纳米棒表面,实现拓宽的可见光响应、压电效应与S型电荷转移深度协同。该体系无需高成本牺牲剂与助催化剂,以四环素(Tetracycline,TC)为空穴牺牲体,同步完成高效析氢与污染物降解。光电化学、XPS及自由基捕获结果证实,内建电场驱动电子从NaNbO3向ZnFe2O4定向转移,遵循S型转移机制;一维纳米棒提供快速电子传输通道,超声诱导压电场使NaNbO3能带倾斜,加速载流子分离与迁移。光照与超声协同下,20ZnFe2O4/NaNbO3析氢速率723.3 μmol·h−1·g−1,四环素降解率79.6%;析氢-降解耦合体系5 h产氢速率357.36 μmol·h−1·g−1,同步降解四环素66.4%。这项工作揭示S型异质结和压电效应协同增强机制,为无牺牲剂、无助催化剂、双功能、高效压电光催化剂设计提供参考。

     

    Abstract: Utilizing solar energy and mechanical vibration energy for hydrogen production while simultaneously degrading pollutants is a highly promising strategy to address energy shortages and environmental pollution. Traditional photocatalytic hydrogen production relies on hole scavengers and co-catalysts, leading to resource waste and increased costs. In this study, one-dimensional ZnFe2O4/NaNbO3 composite nanorods were prepared via a hydrothermal-sintering method. Narrow band-gap ZnFe2O4 was in-situ grown on the surface of piezoelectric NaNbO3 nanorods, achieving deep synergy among broadened visible-light response, piezoelectric effect, and S-scheme charge transfer. This system eliminates the need for expensive sacrificial agents and co-catalysts. By employing Tetracycline (TC) as the hole scavenger, it achieves concurrent high-efficiency hydrogen evolution and pollutant degradation. Photoelectrochemical, XPS, and radical trapping results confirm that the built-in electric field drives directional electron transfer from NaNbO3 to ZnFe2O4, following an S-scheme transfer mechanism. The one-dimensional nanorods provide a rapid electron transport channel, while the ultrasound-induced piezoelectric field tilts the energy bands of NaNbO3, accelerating charge carrier separation and migration. Under photo-ultrasound synergy, 20ZnFe2O4/NaNbO3 exhibited an H2 evolution rate of 723.3 μmol·h−1·g−1 and 79.6% TC degradation. In the coupled H2 evolution-degradation system, theH2 production rate reached 357.36 μmol·h−1·g−1 over 5 h with 66.4% simultaneous TC degradation. This work demonstrates the synergistic enhancement mechanism between the S-scheme heterojunction and piezoelectric effect, offering insights for designing efficient, dual-functional piezo-photocatalysts free of sacrificial agents and co-catalysts.
