摘要

影响光与物质之间相互作用的基本光学性质是折射率(η)。该参数在光催化系统的优化中引起了广泛的关注。本研究从吸光度数据中仔细检查ŋcalculated如何影响和增强半导体材料的光催化性能。因此,影响光如何与材料的表面和界面相互作用,潜在地影响载流子动力学和反应动力学。对tio_2、WO₃、NiO、ZnO等常用光催化剂的研究表明,通过采用各种技术调整n,使其纳米化和复合形成,可以显著影响光活性材料的光吸收、载流子分离和表面氧化还原反应。观察到较高的折射率往往与增强的光捕获和吸收相关,从而提高光催化活性。此外,该研究表明,实验和文献数据证实了n的优化与半导体在降解有机污染物和减少CO₂方面的光催化性能的提高直接相关。此外,该研究还提供了一个多维框架,将η作为材料工程中光催化剂设计的关键参数,以达到最佳性能,主要用于环境修复和能量转换目的。

Influence and applications of refractive index on the catalytic perfomance of photo-responsive materials
The fundamental optical property that influences the interaction between light and matter is the refractive index (η). This parameter has garnered a whole lot of attention in the optimization of photocatalytic systems. This study carefully examines how ŋcalculated from absorbance data, affects and enhances the photocatalytic performance of semiconductor materials. Thus, influences how light interacts with the material’s surface and interfaces, potentially affecting charge carrier dynamics and reaction kinetics. The study on commonly used photocatalysts like TiO₂, WO₃, NiO, and ZnO shows that adjusting the n, through the adoption of various techniques, which nanostructuring, and composite formation, can significantly affect light absorption, charge carrier separation, and surface redox reactions of photoactive material. It was observed that higher refractive indices often correlate with enhanced light trapping and absorption, thereby improving photocatalytic activity. Moreover, the study shows that experimental and literature-derived data affirm that the optimization of n directly correlates with improved photocatalytic performance in the application of semiconductors for the degradation of organic pollutants and CO₂ reduction. Furthermore, this study provides a multidimensional framework for tailoring η as a critical parameter in photocatalyst design in material engineering to achieve an optimum property, mainly for environmental remediation and energy conversion purposes.
