A facile and feasible oil-in-water self-assembly approach was developed to synthesize flower-like Ag@AgBr/Bi₂O₂CO₃ micro-composites. The photocatalytic activities of the samples were evaluated through methylene blue degradation under visible light irradiation. Compared to Bi₂O₂CO₃, flower-like Ag@AgBr/Bi₂O₂CO₃ micro-composites show enhanced photocatalytic activities. In addition, results indicate that both the physicochemical properties and associated photocatalytic activities of Ag@AgBr/Bi₂O₂CO₃ composites are shown to be dependent on the loading quantity of Ag@AgBr. The highest photocatalytic performance was achieved at 7 wt % Ag@AgBr, degrading 95.18% methylene blue (MB) after 20 min of irradiation, which is over 1.52 and 3.56 times more efficient than that of pure Ag@AgBr and pure Bi₂O₂CO₃, respectively. Bisphenol A (BPA) was also degraded to further demonstrate the degradation ability of Ag@AgBr/Bi₂O₂CO₃. A photocatalytic mechanism for the degradation of organic compounds over Ag@AgBr/Bi₂O₂CO₃ was proposed. Results from this study illustrate an entirely new approach to fabricate semiconductor composites containing Ag@AgX/bismuth (X = a halogen).
开发了一种简便可行的水包油自组装方法来合成花状Ag@AgBr/Bi₂O₂CO₃微复合材料。通过在可见光照射下亚甲基蓝的降解来评估样品的光催化活性。与Bi₂O₂CO₃相比,花状Ag@AgBr/Bi₂O₂CO₃微复合材料表现出增强的光催化活性。此外,结果表明,Ag@AgBr/Bi₂O₂CO₃复合材料的物理化学性质及其相关的光催化活性均取决于Ag@AgBr的负载量。在Ag@AgBr负载量为7 wt%时实现了最高的光催化性能,光照20分钟后降解了95.18%的亚甲基蓝(MB),分别比纯Ag@AgBr和纯Bi₂O₂CO₃的效率高出1.52倍和3.56倍以上。还对双酚A(BPA)进行了降解,以进一步证明Ag@AgBr/Bi₂O₂CO₃的降解能力。提出了Ag@AgBr/Bi₂O₂CO₃上有机化合物降解的光催化机理。本研究结果说明了一种制备含Ag@AgX/铋(X = 卤素)的半导体复合材料的全新方法。
