摘要: 光电催化(PEC)氧化法是一种使用半导体电极材料在光和电的共同作用下处理水中有机污染的有效方法.在PEC工艺中,施加偏压不仅可以利用电催化对有机污染物进行降解,而且在偏压作用下,光生电子-空穴对能够得到有效的分离和传输,从而大大提高了机物污染物的去除速率.尽管PEC技术已经取得了许多重要的突破,但是能量转换效率仍然无法满足实际应用.因此,开发具有优异性能,良好稳定性和低成本的光电极材料是一项具有挑战性的研究工作.
本文采用两步电沉积法制备了BiPO4纳米棒/还原氧化石墨烯/FTO复合光电极(BiPO4/rGO/FTO).电镜结果表明,电沉积制得的纳米棒状磷酸铋均匀负载在石墨烯纳米片层表面.采用甲基橙为模型体系,考察了复合光电极的光电催化活性.BiPO4/rGO/FTO复合电极的光电催化降解速率是BiPO4/FTO光电极的2.8倍,显示出优良的光电催化活性.实验进一步研究了工作电压和BiPO4沉积时间对甲基橙光电降解性能的影响.最佳的BiPO4沉积时间为45min,最佳工作电压为1.2V.捕获实验和ESR实验表明羟基自由基(·OH)和超氧化物自由基(·O2-)是该电极的主要活性物种.BiPO4/rGO/FTO复合电极经过四次循环实验后其降解甲基橙效率保持不变,显示出高稳定性,采用光电流,交流阻抗及其荧光测试对其光催化机理进行推测.结果表明该复合光电极具有高PEC活性的主要原因是:石墨烯的引入加快了BiPO4的电子空穴的分离,拓宽了石墨烯的可见光吸收范围;同时,石墨烯诱导产生的BiPO4混合相也进一步促进了光生电子空穴的分离,提高了光电降解活性.

Abstract: In this work, a two-step electrodeposition method was employed to prepare BiPO4 nanorod/reduced graphene oxide/FTO composite electrodes (BiPO4/rGO/FTO). The BiPO4/rGO/FTO composite electrode showed the higher photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) activity for the removal of methyl orange than pure BiPO4, which was 2.8 times higher than that of BiPO4/FTO electrode. The effects of working voltage and BiPO4 deposition time on the degradation efficiency of methyl orange were investigated. The optimum BiPO4 deposition time was 45 min and the optimum working voltage was 1.2 V. The trapping experiments showed that hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide radicals (·O2-) were the major reactive species in PEC degradation process. The BiPO4/rGO/FTO composite electrode showed the high stability and its methyl orange removal efficiency remained unchanged after four testing cycles. The reasons for the enhanced PEC efficiency of the BiPO4/rGO/FTO composite electrode was ascribed to the broad visible-light absorption range, the rapid transmission of photogenerated charges, and the mixed BiPO4 phase by the introduction of rGO in the composite electrode films.
