Abstract

Tungsten oxide (WO3) nanoparticles (WO3NPs) were prepared using beetroot (Beta vulgaris) extract. The synthesis was optimized by evaluating the effect of pH during the reduction of the WO3 precursor and sintering temperature. Physicochemical characterization of the formed nanoparticles was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-visible diffuse reflectance UV-visible spectroscopy. Furthermore, the prepared WO3NPs were employed as photocatalyst for rhodamine B removal over the photocatalytic oxidation mechanism. Synthesis optimization revealed that a single phase of WO3NPs obtained by reduction at pH 4 and a sintering temperature of 550 °C. XRD and XPS measurements revealed that the single-phase WO3NPs was obtained with a crystallite size of 26.4 nm. SEM and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated polymorphic forms, predominantly as nanorods, with a mean particle size of 24 nm. The WO3NPs have a band gap energy of 2.9 eV, supporting their performance as a photocatalyst. Evaluation of the photocatalytic activities of WO3NPs represents high activity and reusability of the material. A removal efficiency of 99.67% was achieved during 30 min of treatment under UV light illumination. A study on the effect of scavengers revealed the important role of hydroxy radicals in the photocatalysis mechanism. WO3NPs can be recycled and reused for photocatalysis, maintaining photoactivity for five cycles.

揭示甜菜根(β vulgaris)提取物光催化氧化罗丹明B的WO3纳米颗粒的绿色合成。
以甜菜根提取物为原料制备了氧化钨纳米颗粒(WO3NPs)。通过评价pH对WO3前驱体还原的影响和烧结温度对合成的影响,优化了合成工艺。利用x射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、x射线光电子能谱(XPS)和紫外可见漫反射光谱对形成的纳米颗粒进行了物理化学表征。此外,制备的WO3NPs作为光催化剂,通过光催化氧化机理去除罗丹明B。合成优化表明,在pH为4、烧结温度为550℃的条件下,还原得到了单相WO3NPs。XRD和XPS测试表明,所制得的WO3NPs晶粒尺寸为26.4 nm。扫描电镜(SEM)和透射电镜(TEM)显示多晶型,主要为纳米棒,平均粒径为24 nm。WO3NPs具有2.9 eV的带隙能量,支持其作为光催化剂的性能。WO3NPs的光催化活性评价表明该材料具有较高的活性和可重复使用性。在紫外光照射下处理30 min,去除率达99.67%。清除剂作用的研究揭示了羟基自由基在光催化机制中的重要作用。WO3NPs可以回收再利用用于光催化,维持5个循环的光活性。
