摘要:

吡虫啉(IMI)是现代农业害虫防治中全球销量最佳的杀虫剂之一. 然而, IMI的广泛使用造成了严重的生态破坏和健康危害. 开发高效且可持续的IMI降解技术对于减轻环境污染、保护生态系统完整性和保障公众健康至关重要. 尽管半导体光催化为解决该问题提供了一条有前景的途径, 但目前的研究主要集中在增强电荷分离能力以提高催化活性上, 对催化剂结构、降解选择性和环境安全性之间的相互联系仍知之甚少. 基于此, 本文以TiO2异相结催化剂为模型, 旨在阐明分子结构与降解选择性之间的关系.

本文构建了一种用于光催化降解IMI的锐钛矿相/金红石相TiO2(A/R-TiO2)异相结光催化剂. 通过X射线粉末衍射仪、拉曼光谱仪和高分辨透射电子显微镜(HRTEM)测试证明了A/R-TiO2异相结的成功制备. HRTEM图像中可以清晰看到锐钛矿相TiO2 (A-TiO2)和金红石相TiO2 (R-TiO2)材料的界面结构. 时间分辨光致发光光谱测试结果证明, 界面的形成促进了光生载流子的分离和传输. A/R-TiO2异相结表现出显著增强的光催化降解活性, 其反应速率常数分别是A-TiO2和R-TiO2的11.5倍和27.7倍, 且矿化率在12 h光照后达到87.6%, 是A-TiO2和R-TiO2的2.9倍和3.7倍. A/R-TiO2在连续5次反应中保持了稳定的降解效率, 这表明其具有优异的催化耐久性. 自由基捕获实验证实了•OH和e是A/R-TiO2异相结光催化剂的主要活性物种. 电子顺磁共振谱结果表明, A/R-TiO2产生的•OH多于A-TiO2和R-TiO2, 而•O2‒的产生相对减少, 这与自由基捕获实验结果相吻合. 高效液相色谱-质谱分析证实A-TiO2和R-TiO2的降解液中含有毒产物, 而A/R-TiO2降解IMI后的降解液则是无毒的. 通过生物测试评估了降解产物对于水蚤和大肠杆菌的毒性影响. 结果表明, 由A/R-TiO2降解IMI的最终产物对生物体无害. 通过使用ECOSAR模型对IMI及其降解中间产物的生态毒理学特征进行了评估, IMI对水蚤具有明显的急性和慢性毒性, 表明存在潜在的生态风险. 然而, 其降解的中间产物生态毒性有所降低. 上述结果表明, A/R-TiO2异相结光催化剂不仅实现了高效的IMI降解, 而且显著降低了生态风险. 此外,密度泛函理论计算证明, A/R-TiO2的界面双位点吸附比A-TiO2和R-TiO2的单位点吸附具有更大的吸附能, 且促进了界面电荷转移, 从而提升了光催化降解性能.

综上, 本研究设计的A/R-TiO2异相结展现出优异的光催化降解污染物性能. 这得益于两相界面促进载流子的高效分离, 以及对IMI分子的双位点强吸附效应, 从而降解成环境友好的最终产物. 本工作建立了污染物分子结构-降解性能-产物毒性之间联系的框架, 为设计高效绿色的光催化体系提供新的思路.

Abstract:

Imidacloprid (IMI) is one of the best-selling insecticides worldwide in modern agricultural pest control. However, the extensive and persistent application of IMI raises concerns regarding ecological disruption and health hazards. Although semiconductor photocatalysis offers a promising remediation pathway, the interplay between catalyst structure, degradation selectivity, and environmental safety remains poorly understood. Herein, we report an anatase/rutile TiO2 phase junction (A/R-TiO2) for photocatalytic IMI remediation. The A/R-TiO2 exhibits 11.5-fold and 27.7-fold higher than those of A-TiO2 and R-TiO2 in rate constant, with a high mineralization rate of 87.6%. It is found that toxic intermediates during the degradation process of A-TiO2 and R-TiO2 are generated, while the final degradation products of A/R-TiO2 show non-toxicity, confirmed by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and biological assessments. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that compared with single-site adsorption of IMI on A-TiO2 and R-TiO2, the interfacial dual-site adsorption on A/R-TiO2 strengthens the adsorption energy of IMI, accelerates charge separation, and promotes catalytic degradation. These findings underscore the need to establish a structure-function-toxicity framework that redefines photocatalyst design around both kinetic performance and environmental safety.
