Abstract
In this study, a novel photocatalyst, 4-OMe-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl acetylide copper (TFPACu), was synthesized by introducing more electron-withdrawing groups (−F) onto the benzene ring of PhC2Cu. The physicochemical properties of TFPACu were investigated using a variety of characterization techniques. The result of Mott-Schottky test suggested that TFPACu is an n-type semiconductor. The active species involved in the photocatalytic degradation process were investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR). The results indicate that OH and h+ was the main active species in the photodegradation process. Under natural solar light irradiation, the degradation rate of TC reached 96 % within 30 min. This work will offer a viable idea for the rational design and development of efficient and cost-effective photocatalysts.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
