Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of environment pollution control, are related to a kind of ferromagnetic semiconductor modification In2O3The preparation side of nanosphere
Method concretely relates to a kind of In2O3/ZnFe2O4The preparation and application of nano heterojunction composite photocatalyst material.
Background technology
Volatile organic compounds (abbreviation VOCs) is the general name of volatile organic compound.Currently, in environment
In the VOCs pollutants that detect more than more than 300 kinds.VOCs include mainly aliphatic hydrocarbon, fragrant hydrocarbon system, oxygen hydro carbons,
The a series of organic compounds such as halogenated hydrocarbon, nitrogen hydro carbons, sulphur hydro carbons and low-boiling polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.For in outdoor air
VOCs pollutants, main source are the burning of the fuel such as coal, oil and natural gas, the production of the industrial chemicals such as coating and pesticide
Processing and the discharge etc. of vehicle exhaust.And indoor VOCs pollutants mostly come from the solvent of organic coating and paint etc.,
Representative compound has benzene, toluene and dimethylbenzene.It, can be to the liver, brain and god of human body when VOCs reaches a certain concentration
Serious harm is generated through system, causes the extensive concern of researcher in recent years.
Photocatalysis technology based on semiconductor is high with degradation efficiency, reaction condition is mild, non-secondary pollution, can utilize
Solar energy and to the low advantage of the selectivity of pollutant has become a kind of removing division ring with applications well foreground in recent years
The method of organic pollution in border.Hou et al. (Hou Y.D., Wang X.C., Wu L., et
Al.Environ.Sci.Technol.2006,40,5799-5803) synthesize porosity β-Ga2O3, under ultraviolet light,
Commercially available TiO is better than to the catalytic activity of gas-phase benzene2And Pt/TiO2.There are two critical issues in photocatalysis technology, first, pair can
Light-exposed utilization rate is low, second is that the recombination probability of the photogenerated charge generated after light excitation is larger.In recent years, numerous research is concentrated
There is visible light-responded photochemical catalyst in exploitation.
In2O3It is a kind of important areas p metal oxide, energy gap 2.8eV has centainly visible light-responded.So
And the separative efficiency of the photogenerated charge generated after light excitation is relatively low, in order to solve this critical issue, numerous document reports
Choose other narrow-band semiconductors and In2O3It is coupled, builds In2O3Base heterojunction type composite photo-catalyst, has reached promotion light
Raw charge efficiently separates and further widens the purpose of spectral response range.Chen et al. (Chen Y.C., Pu Y.C., Hsu
Y.J., J.Phys.Chem.C, 2012,116,2967-2975) it is prepared for Pt-In2O3/TiO2Three-element composite photocatalyst is led to
It crosses transient state fluorescence spectroscopy technique and analyzes transmission path of the light induced electron between three kinds of components, to build efficient nano hetero-junctions
Photochemical catalyst provides good reference.ZnFe2O4It is a kind of multi-functional semi-conducting material, serves not only as important magnetism
Material, but also be a kind of good catalysis material.Its chemistry and photochemistry property is stablized, to sunlight spectral response range
Width has higher photocatalytic activity.Due to the relatively narrow (E of its energy gapg=1.9eV), it is widely used as other broad-band gaps
The visible light-sensitive agent of semiconductor.Wang et al. (Wang M.Y., Sun L., Cai J.H., et al.J.Mater.Chem.A,
2013,1,12082-12087) a kind of ZnFe is reported2O4Nano-particle modified TiO2Nano-tube array combination electrode, can
Under light-exposed irradiation, which shows higher catalytic activity to Acid Orange II.
Currently, using ZnFe2O4Modify In2O3It has no and has been reported that, especially with ZnFe2O4Nano-particle modified monodisperse
In2O3Nanometer spherical is at hetero-junctions composite photocatalyst material and for vapor phase toluene of degrading, and also there is not been reported both at home and abroad.This hair
It is bright to construct In for the first time2O3/ZnFe2O4Nano heterojunction composite photocatalyst material, has not only widened In2O3Spectral response model
It encloses, and improves the separative efficiency of photogenerated charge, there is higher Photocatalytic activity to vapor phase toluene.
Invention content
In is prepared the technical problem to be solved in the present invention is to provide a kind of2O3/ZnFe2O4Nano heterojunction composite photocatalyst
The method of material.Using hydro-thermal method combination solvent-thermal method, it is made by ZnFe2O4Nano-particle modified In2O3Nanosphere is heterogeneous
Composite photocatalyst material is tied, reaches and widens In2O3Spectral response range and improve photogenerated charge separative efficiency purpose.This hair
Bright raw materials used cheap and easy to get, reaction condition is easily controllable, and operation is simple, low for equipment requirements and environmentally friendly.Made from this method
Catalysis material shows good catalytic effect to photocatalytic degradation vapor phase toluene.
