摘要:

氧化锌作为一种半导体材料, 具有合适的能带结构位置, 高催化效率, 低成本和环境可持续性, 因而广泛用于光催化领域. 然而, 由于氧化锌的宽带隙, 可见光吸收能力差以及光生电子-空穴对的快速复合, 极大地影响了其光催化效率. 通过引入氧空位调控光催化剂的结构被证明是一种可以改善光生载流子的分离, 从而提高光催化性能的有效方法.
本文以ZIF-8为前驱体, 采用两步煅烧法合成了具有不同浓度氧空位分布的ZnO纳米光催化剂, 通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)、透射电镜(TEM)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、电子顺磁共振(EPR)、荧光光谱仪(PL)等手段系统地分析了合成的光催化剂的理化性质, 并评价了它们在可见光下光催化氧化去除NO反应性能.
EPR结果表明, 样品中氧空位的浓度取决于温度处理的过程. 通过两步煅烧法得到氧化锌中氧空位的含量高于一步直接煅烧法所得的样品. 此外, 随着煅烧温度升高, 合成的氧化锌晶格越完好, 其氧空位含量越少. UV-Vis DRS结果表明, 两步煅烧法合成的ZnO与商业的ZnO及一步法直接煅烧合成的ZnO相比, 其吸光范围从紫外光拓展到了可见光, 表现出了更加优异的吸光性能. 光催化反应结果表明, 与商业氧化锌和一步直接煅烧法所得样品相比, 两步煅烧法合成的样品表现出了更优异的光催化去除NO性能, 并抑制了中间产物毒性NO2的产生, 促进了NO的深度氧化. 具体反应路径为: 在光照过程中, 光生电子很容易被氧空位俘获, 与O2反应产生更多的超氧自由基(∙O2-), 从而将NO氧化成最终的产物硝酸盐. 尤其有趣的是, 先在350 oC煅烧2小时再400 oC煅烧1小时的两步法样品Z 350-400的NO去除效率分别比一步法样品Z 400(400 oC煅烧)和商用ZnO高出1.5和4.6倍. 这表明以MOF材料衍生的具有适当量氧空位的金属氧化物为一种高效去除NO的光催化剂具有很好的应用前景.

Abstract:

The controlled introduction of oxygen vacancies (OVs) in photocatalysts has been demonstrated to be an efficient approach for improving the separation of photogenerated charge carriers, and thus, for enhancing the photocatalytic performance of photocatalysts. In this study, a two-step calcination method where ZIF-8 was used as the precursor was explored for the synthesis of ZIF-8-derived ZnO nanoparticles with gradient distribution of OVs. Electron paramagnetic resonance measurements indicated that the concentration of OVs in the samples depended on the temperature treatment process. Ultraviolet-visible spectra supported that the two-step calcined samples presented excellent light-harvesting ability in the ultraviolet-to-visible light range. Moreover, it was determined that the two-step calcined samples presented superior photocatalytic performance for the removal of NO, and inhibited the generation of NO2. These properties could be attributed to the contribution of the OVs present in the two-step calcined samples to their photocatalytic performance. The electrons confined by the OVs could be transferred to O2 to generate superoxide radicals, which could oxidize NO to the final product, nitrate. In particular, the NO removal efficiency of Z 350-400 (which was a sample first calcined at 350 °C for 2 h, then at 400 °C for 1 h) was 1.5 and 4.6 times higher than that of Z 400 (which was one-step directly calcined at 400 °C) and commercial ZnO, respectively. These findings suggested that OV-containing metal oxides that derived from metal-organic framework materials hold great promise as highly efficient photocatalysts for the removal of NO.
