Abstract

Costly and time-consuming recovery of photocatalysts from treated water is one of the main challenges for the photocatalysis process. In this regard, an Ag-functionalized Bi₂W(Mo)O₆ photocatalyst was successfully synthesized via a cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-assisted hydrothermal method, immobilized on a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane and subsequently used for photocatalytic water treatment. The flower-like Ag-decorated Bi₂W(Mo)O₆ photocatalyst revealed a significant enhancement (62%) in the photocatalytic degradation efficiency compared to the unmodified pure Bi₂WO₆ (19%) due to the synergic contribution of the flower-like morphology with higher surface area, decrease in band gap by Mo doping and Ag-induced surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effects. In order to immobilize the photocatalyst, the Ag-decorated Bi₂W(Mo)O₆ nanoparticles were distributed uniformly on the surface of the PVDF membrane. The results illustrate that the as-prepared Ag-loaded Bi₂W(Mo)O₆/PVDF composite membrane effectively degrades the organic molecules (51%) without any additional process for the photocatalyst separation, confirming its potential as a beneficial environmental-friendly material for water treatment applications.

ag功能化Bi2W(Mo)O6/PVDF光催化水处理膜

从处理过的水中回收光催化剂成本高、耗时长是光催化工艺面临的主要挑战之一。为此，通过十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)辅助水热法成功合成了ag功能化的Bi2W(Mo)O6光催化剂，并将其固定在聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)膜上，随后用于光催化水处理。与未修饰的纯Bi2WO6相比，花状ag修饰的Bi2W(Mo)O6光催化剂的光催化降解效率显著提高(62%)，这是由于更高表面积的花状形貌、Mo掺杂导致的带隙减小以及ag诱导的表面等离子体共振(SPR)效应的协同作用。为了固定光催化剂，将ag修饰的Bi2W(Mo)O6纳米粒子均匀分布在PVDF膜表面。结果表明，制备的负载ag的Bi2W(Mo)O6/PVDF复合膜可有效降解有机分子(51%)，无需额外的光催化剂分离过程，证实了其作为一种有益的环境友好型水处理材料的潜力。图形抽象
