The morphological, structural, electrochemical, and optical properties of Fe₂O₃/gCN were determined via analytical methods, including scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, scanning electron microscopy field emission, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and photocurrent repones. As a result, the band gap of Fe₂O₃/gCN was determined to be 2.79 eV through UV-DRS and Kubelka–Munk function, which is lower than that of pure gCN (2.82 eV). Such phenomenon provides an RhB photodegradation efficiency of 99.23% within 120 min at pH 4, as well as an H₂O₂ concentration of 4237.03 μM/g h under visible light radiation, over the 1.0Fe₂O₃/gCN sample.

They can be homogeneous or heterogeneous, with heterogeneous catalysts being more recognized due to their lower energy consumption and cost-effectiveness.

The performance of catalysts is influenced by factors such as ideal porosity, pore width, surface area, and promoters like rare earth metals, alkaline, and alkaline earth metals. The effectiveness of multivalent metals as homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts depends on a variety of variables, including coexistence, pH, formulation, and others. Currently, Fe-based catalysts, such as magnetite, olivine, and ilmenite, have gained interest due to their lower cost, higher reactivity, and stability. Metal-organic frameworks have gained interest as catalyst supports due to their high porosity, higher surface area, and ability to alter the size and shape of pores.

The main greenhouse gas, CO₂, is a major factor in global climate change, which eventually disrupts the delicate balance of ecosystems within the globe. Therefore, the development of effective and sustainable technology for CO₂ capture and storage is both urgent and compelling. Among many different approaches for CO₂ capture, membrane separation has shown to be one of the most promising, yielding excellent results in terms of effectiveness as well as affordability. Nonetheless, to enhance membrane performance more significantly in CO₂ separation, researchers have focused on ionic liquids, a family of organic salts recognized for their high thermal stability, low volatility, and tuneable characteristics. Because of this, ionic liquids have attracted a lot of attention from the academic and industrial sectors as possible additions to enhance membranes’ capacity for CO₂ separation. This study explores the potential of Tetrahexyl tetradecyl phosphonium chloride incorporated into Pebax-1657 to enhance CO₂/CH₄ separation performance. Ion gel membranes were synthesized with varying ionic liquid concentrations (5, 10, 20 wt%) and characterized for structural and morphological evaluations. Gas separation performance was assessed through permeation experiments, showing increased CO₂/CH₄ selectivity from 19.23 to 21.81 with higher IL concentrations, especially under high pressure. CO₂ permeability increased from 70.01 to 273.61 barrer with the addition of 20% [THTDP][Cl]. Density functional theory calculations provided theoretical insights into the interaction energies between ionic liquid and gas molecules, corroborating experimental findings. The study demonstrates the novelty of integrating phosphonium-based ionic liquid with Pebax-1657, significantly enhancing CO₂/CH₄ selectivity due to strong CO₂ interactions. This research offers a promising approach to developing advanced membranes for efficient and selective CO₂ capture, contributing to sustainable gas separation technologies.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>","PeriodicalId":801,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Catalysis","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
