Description

Tungsten oxide photocatalyst with hollow structure and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of photocatalysts, and particularly relates to a tungsten oxide photocatalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The semiconductor photocatalytic water splitting hydrogen production is an important way for realizing solar energy conversion and is one of effective methods for solving the problems of environmental pollution and energy. The water decomposition reaction can be divided into two half reactions of hydrogen production and oxygen production. The photoproduction cavity in the oxygen production reaction oxidizes water to produce oxygen and protons, and the protons further react with the photoproduction electrons to produce hydrogen. The oxygen-generating reaction is the rate-limiting step in water splitting. Therefore, a key issue in improving solar conversion efficiency is to design a highly efficient semiconductor oxygen-producing photocatalyst and to improve water oxidation efficiency by lowering the catalytic reaction energy barrier or enhancing the utilization of photo-generated carriers. Based on this, the development of a modified high-efficiency oxygen-producing catalyst with low overpotential and good stability is the key to improve the photocatalytic water splitting efficiency.
WO 3 Has the advantages of proper band gap, good stability and environmental friendliness, and becomes one of the most attractive candidate materials for photocatalytic water decomposition. Nevertheless, it is submitted to WO 3 Limitation of intrinsic electronic structure, WO 3 The photocatalytic water splitting efficiency of (a) is still limited by the severe recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes and the slow surface reaction kinetics. Thus, a novel method was developed to enhance WO 3 The photocatalytic activity of (a) is still an important research direction. In recent years, researchers have further improved the photocatalytic water oxidation activity of tungsten oxide catalysts by various modification methods. Common improvement methods include metal and nonmetal doping, morphology control, defect construction, heterojunction construction and the like. Oxygen vacancies as WO 3 One of the common drawbacks of (1) has been shown to contribute to WO 3 Visible light absorption and charge carrier separation, but excess oxygen defects become recombination centers of electron-hole pairs, which is not favorable for improving the activity of the catalyst. In addition, the shape control of the crystal is a promising strategy for enhancing the photocatalytic water oxidation, and WO is reported 3 Including nanowires and nanometersSpheres, hollow structures, nanoparticles, nanosheets, nanorods, and the like.
In the prior art WO 3 When oxygen vacancies are built up, they are mostly derived from intact WO 3 Starting from crystals, the oxygen vacancies being created by chemical or physical methods, e.g. patent application CN109663584A, i.e. using WO 3 And the corresponding metal simple substance particles are mixed and sintered to prepare the oxygen vacancy metal oxide catalyst. Although the preparation process is simple, the requirements on the particle size of raw materials (metal oxide and metal simple substance particles) are strict (both need to be less than 200nm), which limits the application of some metal oxides with larger particles to the method.
In addition, in the prior art, when the crystal morphology is regulated, a hard template or a soft template method is mostly adopted to obtain a hollow structure. For example, patent application CN104874389A discloses a hollow mesoporous WO 3-x A preparation method of a visible light catalyst adopts a mesoporous silica molecular sieve KIT-6 as a hard template, silicotungstic acid or phosphotungstic acid hydrate as a tungsten trioxide precursor, firstly roasting to obtain a template loaded with tungsten trioxide, and then adopting high-purity H 2 And (3) as a reducing agent, roasting to obtain a template with a hollow structure and loaded with tungsten trioxide, and finally removing the template by adopting HF (hydrogen fluoride) to obtain the mesoporous WO3-x visible light catalyst with the hollow structure. During the preparation process, part of the reagent (such as 10% HF) used is highly toxic, and high-purity H 2 The operation condition safety coefficient is lower due to calcination in the atmosphere, the preparation process is complex, the cost is higher, and the collapse of the hollow structure after the template is removed is inevitable, so that the stability of the material is poor, and the photocatalytic water oxidation performance of the catalytic material cannot be effectively improved.
In view of the above circumstances, how to explore a simple and convenient preparation method, which can comprehensively regulate the oxygen vacancy concentration of tungsten oxide and endow the material crystal with a stable hollow structure, thereby further improving the light capture and charge carrier separation efficiency of the material and improving the photocatalytic water oxidation performance, is a technical problem to be solved urgently.

The special structure and the appropriate oxygen vacancy concentration of the hollow sphere improve the light capture and charge carrier separation efficiency, so that the catalyst material of the invention has better photocatalytic water oxidation performance than other forms. In addition, the preparation process has the characteristics of simple operation, high efficiency, environmental protection and low cost, and is suitable for large-scale process production.

The solvothermal method is a method for synthesizing a material by heating and pressurizing a reaction system (or self-generated steam pressure) with a solvent as the reaction system in a specially-made closed reactor such as a high-pressure reaction kettle to create a relatively high-temperature and high-pressure reaction environment and react or recrystallize the material. In the present invention, W is used 6+ Formation of precursor W by ion alcoholysis 18 O 49 In order to prepare W meeting the requirements of subsequent calcination 18 O 49 And (3) effectively controlling the morphology of the material and oxygen vacancy by using the precursor, preferably, in the step 2), the solvothermal reaction time is 22-30 h, and more preferably 24 h.
Further, in the step 3), the temperature is increased to 750-800 ℃ at a temperature increase rate of 8-12 ℃/min, preferably 10 ℃/min.

Experimental example 1 structural characterization of catalyst materials
The crystal phase structure of the sample is measured on a German Bruker Apex II X-ray diffractometer, Cu-Kalpha radiation is used for measuring, the scanning range is 20 degrees to 70 degrees, and the pace speed is 0.04 degrees. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images were obtained on a Gemini SEM 500 electron microscope. The nitrogen desorption isotherm of the sample was measured using Quadrasorb SI-4 at 77K and the specific surface area of the sample was analyzed by Brunauer-Emmett-teller (bet) equation. By using BaSO 4 (analytical purity) as a reference, an ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS) analysis was performed on an Shimadzu U-3010 spectrometer equipped with an integrating sphere. Photoluminescence spectra (PL) were obtained on a HORIBA Fluoromax + fluorescence spectrometer. The results are shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.
From the XRD results of FIG. 1, it can be seen that WCl 6 The XRD pattern of the sample obtained by solvothermal treatment in ethanol showed mainly two diffraction peaks corresponding to the monoclinic W 18 O 49 The (010) and (020) crystal planes of the structure (JCPDS No. 36-101). WO began to appear on the sample after calcination for 2h at 400 deg.C (comparative example 1) 3 The characteristic peak of (1), in this case the sample is WO 3 And W 18 O 49 (ii) a heterogeneous junction structure (figure 1 a). W 18 O 49 XRD diffraction peaks of samples obtained by treating the samples at 500 deg.C (comparative example 2), 750 deg.C (example 2), 800 deg.C (example 1) and 900 deg.C (comparative example 3) all belong to WO 3 Monoclinic phase (JCPDS No.72-0677), in which WO 3 Has a standard lattice parameter of
Figure BDA0003721202810000061
α is 90 °, β is 90.91 ° and γ is 90 °. Typical monoclinic phase WO is shown at 23.1 DEG, 23.6 DEG and 24.4 DEG 3 The (001), (010) and (100) planes, the intensity of the diffraction peaks shows that the sample is along WO 3 The (001), (010) and (100) planes of (c) preferentially grow (fig. 1 b). Furthermore, the intensity of the main diffraction peak increased with increasing temperature, indicating that the synthesized WO 3 Has better crystallinity at higher temperature.
Further, as can be seen from the TEM image of FIG. 2, W is 18 O 49 Is sea urchin with diameter of about 1 μmShape (FIG. 2a), the sample after calcination at 500 ℃ (WO-500-2) is in the shape of a solid sphere (FIG. 2 b); when the calcination temperature reached 750 ℃, hollow spheres WO-750-2 (fig. 2c) formed by irregular particle packing began to form; when the temperature reaches 800 ℃, a plurality of nanoparticles with better crystallinity form a hollow sphere WO-800-2 structure (figure 2e), and a sample is hollow as can be seen from some broken spheres. The internal hollow structure of WO-800-2 can also be confirmed by TEM images (FIG. 2 f). When the temperature reached 900 ℃, the hollow spheres collapsed into nanoparticles (fig. 2 d). In the experimental process, the invention discovers that W 6+ The alcoholysis of ions can form W in the shape of sea urchin 18 O 49 And the nanowires collapse and pile up into nanospheres after high-temperature calcination. In the calcining process, the nano-wires can gradually form nano-particles along with the increase of the temperature. Because the nanoparticles are more energetic, they will gradually self-agglomerate into a hollow sphere structure, reaching the lowest energetic state. However, when the calcination temperature is further increased, the hollow structure is destroyed.
From the DRS diagram of FIG. 3, W 18 O 49 The material has stronger light absorption capacity in an ultraviolet-visible light region, and the visible light absorption of a sample is gradually weakened along with the reduction of the concentration of oxygen vacancies in the sample (figure 3 a). Fig. 3b shows the absorption pattern of the samples obtained at temperatures above 500 c, from which it can be seen that several samples maintain almost the same absorption intensity in the visible region. The absorption tail in the visible region disappeared, which indicates that the oxygen vacancy content in these samples was already low, resulting in a near stoichiometric WO sample 3 . Therefore, the activity of the sample obtained at a temperature higher than 500 ℃ is mainly attributed to the morphology and crystallinity of the sample. It can also be seen from fig. 3b that the sample having the hollow sphere structure has a strong light absorption capability in the ultraviolet region, and when the hollow sphere structure is broken, the ultraviolet light absorption is reduced, and thus, the light absorption of the hollow sphere sample is enhanced due to multiple reflections in the cavity inside the sphere.
As can be seen from the fluorescence intensity results of FIG. 4, the PL signal peak intensity of the hollow structure sample (WO-800-2) was significantly reduced as compared with that of the other morphological samples. Indicating that hollow structures can improve the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. The increase in fluorescence intensity of the sample obtained after calcination at 900 ℃ is probably due to the increase in carrier recombination rate caused by the collapse of the hollow structure. This further illustrates that the improved separation efficiency of the charge carriers is due to the special hollow structure of WO-800-2.
Experimental example 2 photocatalytic activity test
Photocatalytic decomposition water oxygen activity test was performed on a reaction system of CEL-SPH2N on-line system (zhongzhi gold source limited, beijing). The reactor consists of a top quartz glass cover and a lower quartz reactor. The incident light source of the reaction system is 300W Xe lamp (CEL-HXF300, Beijing), and the light intensity is fixed at 230mW/cm 2 . In the specific operation, 50mg of the catalyst samples of examples 1 to 2 and comparative examples 1 to 6 were dispersed in 100mL of 0.05mol/L AgNO 3 In (1). The system was evacuated beforehand for 30min to remove dissolved gases from the solution. The reaction solution is illuminated for 5 hours under the condition of continuous stirring, 1mL of gas is automatically extracted every hour in the reaction process, and the gas is analyzed and detected by an online GC-7920 gas chromatograph (CEAULIGHT, China), so that the photocatalytic activity is determined. The results are shown in Table 1 and FIG. 5.

As can be seen from FIG. 5, W 18 O 49 And the catalyst samples calcined at the temperature below 500 ℃ have no photocatalytic oxygen production activity, while the samples calcined at the temperature above 500 ℃ have photocatalytic oxygen production activity, and the activity is WO-800-2>WO-750-2>WO-900-2>WO-500-2. When the temperature is lower than 500 ℃, the sample forms an outer part of WO 3 The interior is still W 18 O 49 Out of phase junctions of, the photogenerated holes have WO 3 Migration to interior W 18 O 49 And cannot be contacted with water, so that it has no photocatalytic activity. As the calcination temperature is increased, the oxygen defects in the sample are reduced, and the sample is gradually converted into WO 3 . The hollow sphere sample WO-800-2 has higher photocatalytic activity than the solid sphere sample WO-500-2 and the bulk particle sample WO-900-2, which are 7 times and 4 times higher than the solid sphere and the bulk particle, respectively. The specific surface areas of the samples WO-500-2, WO-750-2, WO-800-2 and WO-900-2 were measured by BET to obtain specific surface areas of 24.17, 2.48, 1.86 and 0.38m, respectively 2 ·g -1 It can be seen that although the hollow sphere has a smaller specific surface area, it produces much higher oxygen activity than the samples of several other morphologies, which is enhanced in the ultraviolet region of lightAbsorption and improved carrier separation efficiency.
Further combining the results of comparative examples 4-6 in table 1, it can be seen that compared with the methods for regulating oxygen vacancies and constructing a hollow result in the prior art, the method provided by the invention can also significantly improve the photocatalytic oxygen production activity, and also proves the outstanding improvement effect of the invention on the performance of the catalyst material.
As a result of comprehensive analysis of the above results, the present invention was made by calcining W in air 18 O 49 The method increases the stoichiometric ratio of the oxygen vacancies, and prepares WO with different concentrations and different shapes at different calcination temperatures 3 . By characterizing the invention, it has surprisingly been found that, with increasing calcination temperature, WO 3 Gradually increases in crystallinity and forms a specific morphology containing different crystal planes. At a temperature of less than 500 ℃, the system coexists with WO 3 And W 18 O 49 These two phases and form a heterogeneous phase. WO obtained by calcination at 500 ℃ or higher 3 The oxygen vacancy content is low, and when the temperature reaches 800 ℃, a hollow spherical sample is formed. This is a template-free method of synthesizing WO consisting of nanoparticles 3 And (4) hollow spheres. The hollow ball is formed by sea urchin-shaped W 18 O 49 The process of aggregation of nanowires into solid spheres, re-sintering into hollow spheres of particle aggregation, followed by collapse into nanoparticles. The morphology of the sample can be controlled by simply adjusting the temperature, and the hollow nano-structure shows excellent photocatalytic water oxidation activity compared with solid spheres and bulk particles. Meanwhile, the specific surface area of the hollow sphere is not the highest, but the photocatalytic water oxidation activity of the hollow sphere is far higher than that of samples with other morphologies through experiments. The improvement of the photocatalytic performance is mainly due to the fact that the carrier separation is promoted by the nanometer structure of the hollow sphere, and in addition, the light reflection in the cavity of the hollow sphere is also beneficial to improving the light absorption capacity of the catalyst.
In summary, the invention adopts the solvothermal method combined with the calcination process, and strictly controls the action conditions, so that the regulation and control of the oxygen vacancy concentration and the particle aggregation can be synchronously realized under the condition without a template agent 3 And (5) constructing the appearance. And the special structure of the hollow ballAnd the appropriate oxygen vacancy concentration, the light capture and charge carrier separation efficiency is improved, so that the catalyst material of the invention has better photocatalytic water oxidation performance than other forms, and can be effectively used for industrial application of photocatalytic water decomposition hydrogen production.
