C60 nanowhiskers were prepared using a liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation (LLIP) method. Tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles were synthesized by a reaction of tin (IV) chloride pentahydrate with ammonium nitrate in an electric furnace. The C60 nanowhiskers-SnO2 nanocomposites were calcined in an electric furnace at 700 °C under an inert argon gas atmosphere for 2 h. The crystallinity, morphology and optical properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and UV-vis spectrophotometry. The photocatalytic activity of the C60 nanowhiskers-SnO2 nanocomposites in the degradation of the organic dyes, such as methylene blue, methyl orange, rhodamine B, and brilliant green, under ultraviolet light at 254 nm by UV-vis spectrophotometry was evaluated and compared with that of C60 nanowhiskers and SnO2 nanoparticles. The experimental results showed that C60 nanowhiskers-SnO2 nanocomposites exhibited remarkably higher photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes compared to C60 nanowhiskers and SnO2 nanoparticles.
采用液-液界面沉淀(LLIP)法制备了C60纳米晶须。通过五水合四氯化锡与硝酸铵在电炉中反应合成了氧化锡(SnO2)纳米颗粒。将C60纳米晶须-SnO2纳米复合材料在电炉中于700℃、惰性氩气气氛下煅烧2小时。通过X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、拉曼光谱和紫外-可见分光光度法对样品的结晶度、形态和光学性质进行了表征。通过紫外-可见分光光度法评估了C60纳米晶须-SnO2纳米复合材料在254nm紫外光下对亚甲基蓝、甲基橙、罗丹明B和亮绿等有机染料的光催化降解活性,并与C60纳米晶须和SnO2纳米颗粒进行了比较。实验结果表明,与C60纳米晶须和SnO2纳米颗粒相比,C60纳米晶须-SnO2纳米复合材料对有机染料的光催化降解活性显著更高。
