Photocatalytic activity of ZnO- and TiO2- coated poly (methyl methacrylate) microcapsules by atomic layer deposition for water purification
Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a common everyday polymer material that can be used as a substrate to improve the performance of functional coatings. In this work, PMMA microcapsules (PMMA-MCs) are coated with photocatalytic metal-oxide thin films. A low temperature (100 °C) atomic layer deposition of ZnO and TiO2 on PMMA-MCs is described to form a three-dimensional structured composite. Scanning electron microscopy observations confirms that the ZnO and TiO2 thin films are conformal to the spherical surface of the PMMA-MCs substrates, creating a greater photocatalytic active surface area. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared ZnO- and TiO2-PMMA-MCs composites towards the mineralization of methylene blue (MB), a model pollutant, are investigated. Under UV–VIS irradiation, the ZnO-PMMA-MCs are more efficient towards MB dye degradation. Therefore, the proposed preparation approach for core-shell structured composites is considered as a valid alternative to the conventional routes for the development of efficient supported photocatalysts in heat sensitive materials for water purification application.
期刊介绍:
Thin Solid Films is an international journal which serves scientists and engineers working in the fields of thin-film synthesis, characterization, and applications. The field of thin films, which can be defined as the confluence of materials science, surface science, and applied physics, has become an identifiable unified discipline of scientific endeavor.
