Abstract

The Y2O3 decorated with ZnFe2O4 was successfully synthesized using Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck leaf extract for the first time. A modification of Y2O3 with ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles was carried out because Y2O3 is stable but has a wide band gap, making it less active in visible light. On the other hand, ZnFe2O4 has a small band gap and is cheap. The synthesized ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 nanocomposites, ZnFe2O4, and Y2O3 nanoparticles were characterized using FTIR, XRD, TEM, SEM, and DRS UV–Vis. TEM and DRS UV–Vis results show that the ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 nanocomposite particle has a size of 49,61 nm with a unique shape and an optical band gap of 2.08 eV. The photocatalytic activity of Y2O3, ZnFe2O4, and ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 was observed based on the photodegradation of malachite green (MG) dye under visible light. The results demonstrate that ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 can degrade MG with a photodegradation percentage of 95 % within 120 min, which is better than pure ZnFe2O4 and Y2O3. After the fourth cycle, the photodegradation percentage of MG by ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 remained at 88 %, demonstrating good reusability of ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 for photocatalytic degradation. These findings demonstrate that the use of ZnFe2O4 as a modifier may increase the photocatalytic performance of Y2O3.

利用柑橘柠檬(L. )奥斯贝克叶提取物轻松绿色制备饰有 ZnFe2O4 的 Y2O3,用于光催化降解孔雀石绿
利用柠檬(Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck)叶提取物首次成功合成了用 ZnFe2O4 装饰的 Y2O3。之所以用 ZnFe2O4 纳米粒子修饰 Y2O3,是因为 Y2O3 性能稳定,但带隙较宽,在可见光下的活性较低。另一方面,ZnFe2O4 的带隙小,价格便宜。对合成的 ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 纳米复合材料、ZnFe2O4 和 Y2O3 纳米粒子使用傅立叶变换红外光谱、XRD、TEM、SEM 和 DRS 紫外可见光谱进行了表征。TEM 和 DRS UV-Vis 结果表明,ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 纳米复合材料颗粒大小为 49.61 nm,形状独特,光带隙为 2.08 eV。根据孔雀石绿(MG)染料在可见光下的光降解情况,观察了 Y2O3、ZnFe2O4 和 ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 的光催化活性。结果表明,ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 能在 120 分钟内降解孔雀石绿,光降解率达 95%,优于纯 ZnFe2O4 和 Y2O3。在第四个循环后,ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 对 MG 的光降解率仍保持在 88%,这表明 ZnFe2O4/Y2O3 在光催化降解方面具有良好的重复使用性。这些研究结果表明,使用 ZnFe2O4 作为改性剂可提高 Y2O3 的光催化性能。
