The MXene-based transition metal oxide composite is a potential candidate for photocatalysts. Rod-like pseudohexagonal phase NbO/NbCT composites were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal oxidation of 2D layered NbCT. The NbO/NbCT composites show superior photocatalytic activity for 98.5% of degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) for 120 min and 91.2% of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) for 180 min under visible light irradiation. The Schottky junction is formed between NbO nanorods and NbCT and the photo-generated carriers are effectively separated, enhancing the photocatalytic activity of the NbO/NbCT. High photoactivity and cycle stability of NbO/NbCT composites indicate that hydrothermal oxidation of 2D layered NbCT is an alternative to prepare efficient photocatalyst for degradation of organic pollutants.
基于 MXene 的过渡金属氧化物复合材料是一种有潜力的光催化剂候选材料。通过对 2D 层状 NbCT 的简单水热氧化,合成了棒状类六方相 NbO/NbCT 复合材料。在可见光照射下,NbO/NbCT 复合材料对 Rhodamine B(RhB)的降解率在 120 min 内达到 98.5%,对盐酸四环素(TC-HCl)的降解率在 180 min 内达到 91.2%,表现出优异的光催化活性。NbO 纳米棒和 NbCT 之间形成肖特基结,光生载流子得到有效分离,从而提高了 NbO/NbCT 的光催化活性。NbO/NbCT 复合材料具有高光活性和循环稳定性,表明通过 2D 层状 NbCT 的水热氧化是制备高效光催化剂以降解有机污染物的一种替代方法。
