In the present study, a novel photocatalyst, CQDs@MIL-125(Ti) (CQDs = carbon quantum dots), was prepared a solvothermal procedure. The photocatalytic properties were tested by the degradation of tetracycline (TC) with a 250 W Xe lamp ( > 420 nm). Compared with pure MIL-125(Ti), the 10 wt% CQDs@MIL-125(Ti) photocatalyst can significantly improve the degradation process of TC, and the degradation efficiency can reach 90% within 4 h. The enhancement in the photocatalytic performance is due to the CQDs, which can promote the absorption of visible light and also efficiently accelerate the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. We have also demonstrated that superoxide radicals (·O ) and holes (h) play crucial roles in the photocatalytic degradation of TC through capture experiments. The current work provides a new idea for constructing high-efficiency photocatalysts based on MIL-125(Ti).
在本研究中,通过溶剂热法制备了一种新型光催化剂CQDs@MIL-125(Ti)(CQDs = 碳量子点)。用250 W Xe灯(> 420 nm)降解四环素(TC)来测试其光催化性能。与纯MIL-125(Ti)相比,10 wt%的CQDs@MIL-125(Ti)光催化剂能显著改善TC的降解过程,且在4小时内降解效率可达90%。光催化性能的增强归因于碳量子点,其能促进可见光吸收并有效加速光生电子 - 空穴对的分离。我们还通过捕获实验证明了超氧自由基(·O )和空穴(h)在TC的光催化降解中起关键作用。目前的工作为构建基于MIL-125(Ti)的高效光催化剂提供了新思路。
