Surface-sulfurized Ag2O nanoparticles with stable full-solar-spectrum photocatalytic activity

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(17)62806-7

Abstract

Abstract:

Ag₂O has attracted much recent attention, because of its high photocatalytic activity in the ultraviolet (UV)-visible region. However, there have been few reports on the near-infrared (NIR) photocatalytic activity of Ag₂O. This paper reports the high NIR photocatalytic activity of Ag₂O nanoparticles. Ag₂O is unsuitable for application in full-solar-spectrum photocatalysis, because it is unstable under UV irradiation. A surface sulfurization process was carried out to address this issue. Specifically, a layer of Ag₂S₂O₇ nanoparticles was grown on the surface of the Ag₂O nanoparticles, to improve the stability of the Ag₂O photocatalyst and enhance its photocatalytic activity in the UV, visible and NIR regions. The Ag₂O/Ag₂S₂O₇ heterostructure is a stable and efficient full-solar-spectrum photocatalyst. It has potential application in the photodegradation of organic pollutants, and more generally in environmental engineering where full utilization of the solar spectrum is required.

Key words: Full-solar-spectrum, Silver oxide nanoparticles, Ag₂O/Ag₂S₂O₇, Heterostructure, Photocatalysis
