BiVO4:Yb3+,Er3+光催化剂的形貌调控及其全光谱降解四环素性能研究

The morphology control and full-spectrum photodegradation tetracycline performance of microwave-hydrothermal synthesized BiVO4:Yb3+,Er3+ photocatalyst

  • 摘要: 通过调节前驱体溶液的pH值,采用简便的微波水热法制备了不同形貌的BiVO4:Yb3+,Er3+-X(标记为BYE-XX为pH值),以四环素作为污染物模型测试了BYE-X的全光谱光催化活性。实验结果表明:当pH为3−8时,BYE为纯的单斜相BiVO4;当pH值为10−12时,所制备的样品为Bi2O(OH)(VO4)、Bi2O3和BiVO4的混合相。并且,随着pH值升高,BYE的形貌特征发生显著变化。不同pH值下合成的样品均具有明显的上转换发光,通过Er3+和Yb3+的上转换效应实现了对近红外光的利用,有效拓展了光响应范围;在可见光或近红外光照射下,BYE-5具有最佳的光降解活性。基于实验结果提出了全光谱光催化机制。该工作为提高半导体催化剂的太阳光利用率,实现高效全光谱催化活性提供了一种可行的思路。

     

    Abstract: By adjusting the pH of the precursor solution, different morphologies of BiVO4:Yb3+,Er3+-X (BYE-X) were successfully synthesized via a facile microwave hydrothermal method. Tetracycline was employed as a model pollutant to evaluate the full-spectrum photocatalytic activity of BYE-X samples. The experimental results revealed that when the pH ranged from 3 to 8, BYE showed pure monoclinic BiVO4 phase. At pH values of 10−12, the synthesized samples had mixed phases of Bi2O(OH)(VO4), Bi2O3, and BiVO4. A notable variation in the morphological characteristics of BYE was observed with the increasing pH values. The samples of different pH values showed obvious up-conversion luminescence. Due to the up-conversion of Er3+and Yb3+, the near-infrared (NIR) light was effectively utilized, successfully broadening the light response range. Under the visible or NIR light irradiation, BYE-5 demonstrated the optimal photodegradation activity. Based on the experimental results, a mechanism for full-spectrum photocatalysis was proposed. This work provides a feasible approach to improving the utilization of solar light by semiconductor catalysts, thereby achieving efficient full-spectrum photocatalytic activity.
