Visible-light photocatalytic performance, recovery and degradation mechanism of ternary magnetic Fe₃O₄/BiOBr/BiOI composite.

ABSTRACT: The ternary magnetic Fe₃O₄/BiOBr/BiOI (x : 3 : 1) photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by a facile solvothermal method. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, ICP-AES, XPS, UV-vis DRS, PL and VSM. Nitrogen-containing dye RhB was used as a degradation substrate to evaluate the photocatalytic degradation activities of the samples. The photocatalytic performance of Fe₃O₄/BiOBr/BiOI (0.4 : 3 : 1) is superior to other Fe₃O₄/BiOBr/BiOI (x : 3 : 1). Compared with binary magnetic Fe₃O₄/BiOBr (0.5 : 1) prepared in our previous work, the Fe₃O₄/BiOBr/BiOI (0.4 : 3 : 1) has obvious advantages in photocatalytic activity and adsorption capacity. And the specific surface area (48.30 m² g^-1) is much larger than that of the previous report (Fe₃O₄/BiOBr/BiOI (0.5 : 2 : 2)) synthesized by a co-precipitation method. Besides, after 25 s of magnetic field, Fe₃O₄/BiOBr/BiOI (0.4 : 3 : 1) can be rapidly separated from water. After eight recycling cycles, the magnetic properties, photocatalytic activity, crystallization and morphology of the Fe₃O₄/BiOBr/BiOI (0.4 : 3 : 1) catalyst remain good. The possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism of RhB under Fe₃O₄/BiOBr/BiOI (0.4 : 3 : 1) photocatalyst was also proposed. The results indicate that the ternary magnetic Fe₃O₄/BiOBr/BiOI (0.4 : 3 : 1) composite with high photocatalytic degradation efficiency, good magnetic separation performance and excellent recyclability and stability has potential application prospect in wastewater.

Project description:Flexible fiber membranes for pollutant removal have received increasing attention due to their high adsorption performance and easy recycling characteristics. However, due to the lack of environmentally friendly regeneration, some adsorption membranes have low regeneration efficiency, especially in terms of chemical adsorption, so they lack reusability. This study prepares a series of conducting polymer [PAn (polyaniline) or PPy (polypyrrole) or PTh (polythiophene)] graphene quantum dots (GQDs, the size of GQDs is about 20 nm)/TiO2 ternary fiber membranes via a facile electrospinning method with chemical deposition. Remarkably, this creates an anatase TiO2 and π-conjugated system. The combination is beneficial to the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, showing synergistic promotion in both the degradation rate and the degree of decomposition. The UV-vis test shows that the combination of GQDs broadens the optical response threshold of TiO2, from near ultraviolet region excitation to visible region excitation. At the same time, the conductive polymer load further reduces the energy required for photogenerated electron transfer, which theoretically improves the degradation effect. Photocatalytic degradation tests showed that the PTh/GQDs/TiO2 fiber membrane exhibited significant high photocatalytic activity of visible-light in the methylene blue (MB) and TC degradation. The degradation rate level is 92.90% and 80.58%, respectively and the MB removal is more than 4 times that of bare TiO2 membrane. After photocatalytic regeneration four times, the regeneration efficiency can be maintained above 95%. Notably, various experimental results show that the interface charge transfer mechanism between GQDs/TiO2 and PTh follows the Z-scheme heterojunction, which maximizes the retention of strong reducing electrons and oxidation holes. In the degradation, the active species of ·O2 - and ·OH, make different contributions in the photocatalysts, which oxidize and break down the pollutant molecules into small molecules and then to harmless substances. According to the electronegativity difference of the material itself, PTh acts as electron acceptor in the degradation system, and TiO2 fiber membrane doped with GQDs acts as electron donor. The present research, not only offers feasibility of the PTh/GQDs/TiO2 flexible fiber membrane as an environment-friendly catalyst, but also motivates researchers to develop flexible fiber materials for future photocatalytic technology.
