Boosting visible light-triggered transformation of nitrobenzene into aniline utilizing mesoporous S-scheme MnCo2O4/BaTiO3 heterojunction
The photocatalytic transforming of cancer-causing nitrobenzene (NTb) into high-value aniline (ANL) is valuable for the economy and a promising way to conserve public health and the ecology. The methodical advancement of exceptional visible-light-driven photocatalytic heterostructure materials that efficiently utilize the solar spectrum is essential. This study involved the growth of mesoporous perovskite barium titanate (BTT) nanocrystals using mixed-surfactant-mediated solvothermal methodology. Next, metal cobaltate (MCT) nanoparticles (NPs) (3–12 wt%) were mixed with BTT using sonication and calcination to manufacture mesoporous step-scheme (S-scheme) MCT/BTT heterojunction photocatalysts. A comprehensive characterization validated the creation of robust interconnection between MCT and BTT with efficient charge migration following the S-type pathway. Indeed, MCT NPs had synergistic effects, significantly improving photosensitivity and photo-formed carriers' disunion and migration in the fabricated heterojunctions. These distinguished attributes, along with the mesoporous 2D nature of the synthesized heterojunctions, which offer plentiful active charges and reactive sites, resulted in a considerable boost for photocatalytic transformation (PCT) of NTb. Particularly, NTb molecules were completely transformed into ANL within 50 min of visible illumination, utilizing the best heterostructure material (9 % MCT/BTT) at the optimal concentration (2.4 g/L). This illustrious heterostructure displayed superb stability during five reaction recycles and enhanced reaction kinetics (K = 0.0749 min−1), outperforming by 46.8 times that yielded by employing pure BTT. The present work provides substantial thinking on the creation of exceeding performance and photocatalytically stable photocatalytic materials.
