Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing a catalyst based on TiO2A wide-spectrum response photocatalytic material of an array optical waveguide and a preparation method thereof belong to the technical field of photocatalytic materials.
Background
In recent years, social and economic development is seriously affected by pollution of water and the atmosphere. In order to solve the problem of environmental pollution, various means such as fenton's method, combustion method, microbial treatment, membrane treatment, etc. have been developed and utilized. With the development of semiconductor photocatalysis research, a photocatalysis technology is used as a technical means for photodegrading organic pollutants to solve the problem of environmental pollution, and the attention degree of researchers is greatly improved. Various means such as structure regulation and control, morphology regulation and control and the like are applied to the research of preparing the high-efficiency photocatalytic material. MakingTiO, the earliest discovered photocatalytic material2Is considered to have the most practical industrial application value and is researched and applied most widely. Current stage TiO2As the most stable photocatalytic material, the mass preparation technology can be realized, the performance regulation and control of the photocatalytic material also have remarkable progress, and the photocatalytic material is the photocatalytic material which is most likely to realize practical application at present. However, there is a practical conflict that limits its industrial application, i.e. TiO2The increase in photocatalytic efficiency requires more active surface, limits the size of the catalyst material, and the small size of TiO2The solid-liquid separation and recycling after the catalytic reaction are very difficult, and therefore, the development of the catalyst based on TiO is under way2In the process of the photocatalytic material, various solid-liquid separation processes are avoided by adopting an immobilization mode. Such as loading the photocatalytic material on a glass fiber felt, loading on a filter membrane, directly loading on the wall of a container, loading the photocatalytic material in a zeolite structure, and the like. This structure does solve the problem of separation of the photocatalytic material from the treatment liquid, but not only the substrates, which are themselves opaque, absorb light, but also the sewage itself absorbs a large amount of light, resulting in a low utilization rate of the light source by photocatalysis, and at the same time, because of the TiO2The forbidden band width limits the absorption of visible light and near infrared light under sunlight, and reduces the utilization rate of the sunlight. By effectively in TiO2The secondary structure is loaded with visible light or near infrared light catalyst to form a composite structure for expanding spectrum absorption, which is to improve TiO2Effective means of light absorption range, but how to better utilize different wavelengths of sunlight in their composite structures remains a challenge.
Optical fibers are well known as important pathways for optical propagation, and thus composites by constructing photocatalytic materials on optical fibers have been proposed and studied. Based on the optical propagation path of the optical fiber, the loss of ineffective light absorption can be overcome. This structural design was first proposed by Marinangeli and Ollis and theoretical studies were carried out, and then experiments for adhering TiO2 to an optical fiber using silica gel or the like were also successful and fundamental application studies on water treatment were carried out. Furthermore, the deposition of the catalyst on the optical fiber is also obtained by means of calcination after hydrolysis of the alkoxide of titanium, or by means of calcination after sol-gel coating.
However, the above methods are all loaded on the optical fiber by a chemical adhesion or sintering adhesion manner, the catalyst is easily in an agglomerated state, and the exposure of the catalytic active sites is limited, and in addition, the agglomeration of the nanoparticles can cause that photogenerated carriers generated inside are not easily transported to the surface of the catalyst, and the improvement of the catalytic efficiency is limited. In the loading mode, a large amount of residual stress exists in the obtained catalyst membrane, so that the catalyst membrane is easy to fall off in use, and the composite catalytic material is ineffective.
On the other hand, the single photocatalytic material is only used for a certain wavelength band in the spectrum, and the utilization efficiency of light is seriously affected, so that the design and research of the photocatalytic material capable of being used in multiple wavelength bands in the spectrum are realized, the utilization rate of light is improved, and the technical problem to be solved by the technical personnel in the field is urgently needed. The invention is therefore proposed.

From FIG. 2, it can be seen that TiO2The light propagation path of the array-covered quartz optical fiber is single-sided light irradiation, the titanium dioxide coated fiber has a white appearance, and as the incident light increases, there is a release of light on the silica fiber acted on by the titanium dioxide, because, for bare silica fibers, most of the light is reflected into the silica at the silica-air interface due to the higher refractive index of silica (-1.54). Also for TiO2Coated quartz optical fibre, TiO2Has a higher refractive index, light will be in TiO2-SiO2Refraction to TiO at the interface2In the middle, incident light and emergent light are simulated in the presence of TiO as shown in FIG. 32Of covered quartz fibres, fibre-TiO2Interface directs light toward the TiO2Propagating, causing a significant amount of light to escape from the fiber. This is consistent with the study of light transmission under red laser in bare silica fibers and titania functional silica fibers. The simulation diagram of light propagation is shown in fig. 3.
