Modifying BiVO4 with metal-organic frameworks for enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light
-
摘要: 通过简单溶剂热法制备了一种新型复合光催化剂BiVO4/MIL-53(Fe);运用XRD、SEM/EDS、FT-IR、N2吸附-脱附和UV-vis DRS等手段对其进行表征,并对其光催化降解RhB活性进行了研究,提出了相应的光催化降解RhB的可能机理。结果表明,相较于单一BiVO4材料,复合催化剂的比表面积增大,且其光催化效率相较于纯BiVO4和MIL-53(Fe)也有了较大的提高;其中,BF-2复合材料的光催化活性最高,分别约为纯MIL-53(Fe)和BiVO4的5.2倍和8.1倍。同时,BiVO4/MIL-53(Fe)复合光催化剂经过四次循环实验后,仍能保持较稳定的光催化活性和结构。Abstract: A new composite photocatalyst, viz., BiVO4/MIL-53(Fe), was prepared through a simple hydrothermal approach and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N2 absorption-desorption and UV-visual diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of prepared BiVO4/MIL-53(Fe) catalysts was investigated in the degradation of RhB as a simulated pollutant and a possible reaction mechanism for the photocatalytic degradation of RhB was then proposed. The results indicate that after modifying BiVO4 with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the surface area of BiVO4/MIL-53(Fe) is improved greatly; moreover, the BiVO4/MIL-53(Fe) composite also exhibits much higher photocatalytic activity than pristine BiVO4 and MIL-53(Fe). In particular, the photocatalytic activity of BF-2 composite is about 5.2 and 8.1 times higher than those of pure MIL-53 (Fe) and BiVO4, respectively. In addition, BiVO4/MIL-53(Fe) composite photocatalyst is rather stable and can keep its photocatalytic activity and structure after four recycling tests.
