Abstract

Zinc oxide (ZnO) structures are used in the field of environmental issues, especially photocatalysts, due to their superior physical and chemical properties. In this study, ZnO structures were produced using the hydrothermal technique. The physical and photocatalytic properties of the synthesized ZnO structures were investigated. The crystal size of ZnO was calculated using XRD patterns and found to be 27–36 nm using the modified Scherrer equation, 33–40 nm using the Williamson Hall model depending on the precursor amount. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the produced ZnO structures revealed that it had a structure in the form of cauliflower morphology. Changing of the ZnO structure with decreasing precursor amounts clearly narrowed the band gap energy. Experimental studies of photocatalytic activity of ZnO photocatalysts were examined in a UV-cabinet, under Ultraviolet–A (UVA) light irradiation and by degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and Direct Red 23 (DR23) binary mixture of dyestuff against time. As a result of the experimental studies, it was observed that the photocatalytic activity of ZnO structure showed 97.16% higher degradation efficiency in 180 min. In line with kinetic studies, the photocatalytic half-life of the RhB + DR23 dyestuff was calculated between 31.79 min and 52.91 min for all structures, reaction rate constant (k) was calculated as highest 0.0218 1/min for Z 36.6 RhB degradation, and the regression coefficient (R2) values were calculated between 0.54 and 0.98 for all structures.

纳米zno光催化降解RhB和DR23染料二元混合物
氧化锌(ZnO)结构由于其优越的物理和化学性质而被广泛应用于光催化剂等环境问题领域。本研究采用水热法制备了氧化锌结构。研究了合成的氧化锌结构的物理和光催化性能。利用XRD谱图计算ZnO的晶粒尺寸,根据前驱体量的不同,采用修正Scherrer方程计算ZnO的晶粒尺寸为27 ~ 36 nm, Williamson Hall模型计算ZnO的晶粒尺寸为33 ~ 40 nm。扫描电镜(SEM)结果表明,制备的氧化锌具有花椰菜状结构。随着前驱体量的减少,ZnO结构的变化明显地缩小了带隙能量。实验研究了ZnO光催化剂在紫外柜中、在紫外a (UVA)光照射下以及对罗丹明B (RhB)和直接红23 (DR23)二元染料混合物随时间降解的光催化活性。实验结果表明,ZnO结构的光催化活性在180 min内降解效率提高了97.16%。根据动力学研究,计算出所有结构的RhB + DR23染料的光催化半衰期在31.79 ~ 52.91 min之间,z36.6的RhB降解反应速率常数k最高为0.0218 1/min,所有结构的回归系数R2在0.54 ~ 0.98之间。
