Visible light-responsive plasmonic Ag/RGO/TiO2 ternary nanocomposites with enhanced photocatalytic activity
Organic pollutants in water now poses serious risks to both human health and ecological systems. Many of these pollutants are insistent and non-biodegradable. The adulteration of fresh water by detrimental substances has compelled researchers to develop advanced, efficient, and cost-effective water remediation techniques and materials. A visible light-responsive plasmonic Ag/RGO/TiO2 photocatalytic material has been synthesized via facile microwave irradiation. The design of the photocatalytic material shows enhanced photoactivity under visible light compared to TiO2 and RGO/TiO2. The Ag doping had effectively shifted the valence band edge potential increasing the oxidation power of the ternary hybrid. Among different ratios of Ag content, AGT III with 0.02 g Ag exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity toward photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine (RhB) under visible light. This improved photocatalytic activity is due to the significantly narrowed bandgap and enhanced electronic conductivity. The active species involved in photocatalytic degradation have been studied using various scavengers. The results from this investigation have a telling effect on the facile fabrication of an effective photocatalyst, which can be used for many applied applications.
期刊介绍:
Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
