Abstract
In this novel research study, S-scheme Bi2O2CO3/ZnO heterojunctions were fabricated for photocatalytic destructing of rhodamine B dye under low cost natural sunlight of 1000 W power. Spherical Bi2O2CO3 nanoparticles with wide band gap energy of 3.15 eV and diameter of 26 nm were deposited onto ZnO nanoparticles in ultrasonic bath of 300 W power. Photoluminescence [PL], Mapping, N2–adsorption–desorption isotherm, diffuse reflectance spectrum [DRS], high resolution transmission electron microscopy [HRTEM], X-ray diffraction [XRD] and energy dispersive X-ray [EDX] were employed to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of the solid specimen. PL and DRS analysis implied that introducing various proportions of Bi2O2CO3 on ZnO surface enhanced the absorbability of visible light radiations and improved the charge carrier separation and transportation efficiency. The photocatalytic experimental results implied that ZnBiCO1 heterojunction containing 1 wt % Bi2O2CO3 was responsible for destructing 97 % of RhB dye in 180 min. The scavenger experiments and the photoluminescence analysis of terephthalic acid revealed the production of reactive oxygen species as direct evidence for S-scheme charge transportation mechanism. The purpose of this innovative research is concerned with construction of an efficient S-scheme heterojunction with auspicious oxidative and reductive power for eliminating rhodamine B dye as cationic pollutant model.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
