Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a significant class of porous, crystalline materials composed of metal ions (clusters) and organic ligands. The potential use of copper MOF (Cu-BTC) for the sonophotocatalytic degradation of Tetracycline (TC) antibiotic was investigated in this study. To enhance its catalytic efficiency, S-scheme heterojunction was created by combining Cu-BTC with Zinc tungstate (ZnWO), employing an ultrasound-assisted hydrothermal method. The results demonstrated that the Cu-BTC/ZnWO heterojunction exhibited complete removal of TC within 60 min under simultaneous irradiation of visible light and ultrasound. Interestingly, the sonophotocatalytic degradation of TC using the Cu-BTC/ZnWO heterojunction showed superior efficiency (with a synergy index of ∼0.70) compared to individual sonocatalytic and photocatalytic degradation processes using the same heterojunction. This enhancement in sonophotocatalytic activity can be attributed to the formation of an S-scheme heterojunction between Cu-BTC and ZnWO. Within this heterojunction, electrons migrated from Cu-BTC to ZnWO, facilitated by the interface between the two materials. Under visible light irradiation, the built-in electric field, band edge bending, and coulomb interaction synergistically inhibited the recombination of electron-hole pairs. Consequently, the accumulated electrons in Cu-BTC and holes in ZnWO actively participated in the redox reactions, generating free radicals that effectively attacked the TC molecules. This study offers valuable perspectives on the application of a newly developed S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst, demonstrating its effectiveness in efficiently eliminating diverse recalcitrant pollutants via sonophotocatalytic degradation.

摘要

金属有机框架材料(MOFs)是一类由金属离子(簇)和有机配体组成的重要多孔晶体材料。本研究考察了铜基金属有机框架材料(Cu-BTC)用于四环素(TC)抗生素声光催化降解的潜力。为提高其催化效率,采用超声辅助水热法将Cu-BTC与钨酸锌(ZnWO)复合构建S型异质结。结果表明,在可见光和超声同时辐照下,Cu-BTC/ZnWO异质结在60分钟内可实现TC的完全去除。有趣的是,与使用相同异质结的单独声催化和光催化降解过程相比,采用Cu-BTC/ZnWO异质结的TC声光催化降解表现出更高的效率(协同指数约为0.70)。这种声光催化活性的增强可归因于Cu-BTC与ZnWO之间形成了S型异质结。在该异质结中,电子在两种材料的界面作用下从Cu-BTC迁移至ZnWO。在可见光照射下,内建电场、能带边缘弯曲和库仑相互作用协同抑制了电子-空穴对的复合。因此,Cu-BTC中积累的电子和ZnWO中的空穴积极参与氧化还原反应,产生自由基,有效攻击TC分子。本研究为新开发的S型异质结光催化剂的应用提供了有价值的观点,证明了其通过声光催化降解有效去除各种难降解污染物的有效性。
