Synthesis of Ag@AgBr Photocatalyst and Its Performance for Degradation of Methylene Blue under Visible-Light Irridiation

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1088.2012.20320

Abstract

Abstract: Ag@AgBr plasmon photocatalyst was prepared by the deposition-precipitation and photo-reduction method. The synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-Vis diffuse spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity and stability of the prepared samples were evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under the visible light (l > 420 nm) irradiation. Several parameters, such as catalyst concentration, pH value, initial MB concentration, H₂O₂ content, recycling runs, and scavengers, were examined. The results show that the photocatalytic activity of Ag@AgBr reached 96% in MB aqueous solution (10 mg/L) containing 1 g/L catalyst at pH = 9.8 under visible-light irradiation, and it almost kept unchanged after five-cycle photocatalytic test. The degradation efficiency of MB had little variation in the presence of a small amount of H₂O₂ but reduced in the presence of excessive H₂O₂. MB photodegradation was greatly suppressed by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid while slightly decreased by isopropanol. The photocatalytic mechanism for MB degradation by Ag/AgBr under visible light irradiation was also presented.

Key words: silver, silver bromide, plasmon resonance, photocatalysis, visible-light activity, methylene blue
