Abstract
In this study, three-dimensional (3D) hollow Bi0/OVs-Bi2O2CO3 was prepared by solvothermal method using carbon nanospheres (CSs) as a sacrificial template and N, N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) as a solvent, and then 3D Fe3O4@Bi0/OVs-Bi2O2CO3 photocatalytic materials were obtained by co-precipitation method. The structure, morphology, optical properties and magnetic separation properties of the prepared photocatalysts were characterized. The results of magnetic separation experiments showed that the 3D Fe3O4@Bi0/OVs-Bi2O2CO3 photocatalytic materials were easily dispersed in aqueous solution and could be separated by an applied magnetic field. Under Xenon lamp irradiation, the degradation rate of aniline aeroflot (AAF) over S3 sample reached 94.51 % in 120 min with a degradation rate constant of 0.0225 min−1, which was 4.59 times higher than that of the reference sample. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of the 3D Fe3O4@Bi0/OVs-Bi2O2CO3 photocatalytic material originates from the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Bi0 and the promotion of the photogenerated carrier transfer ability by Fe3O4 and oxygen vacancies (OVs), which suppresses the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Based on experimental observations, a mechanism for the enhanced photocatalytic performance of 3D Fe3O4@Bi0/OVs-Bi2O2CO3 photocatalytic materials was proposed.
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.
