Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photocatalysts, and particularly relates to a Schottky heterojunction photocatalyst, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, environmental problems caused by the large-scale use and discharge of antibiotics have attracted wide attention. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is one of the most effective antibiotics in the quinolone class and is widely used due to its broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. However, CIP cannot be completely absorbed by humans or animals, and 40%-50% of CIP is excreted through the kidneys. Since CIP is difficult to degrade in the natural environment, more and more CIP has been detected in water bodies, and the residual CIP will pose a hazard to the aquatic environment and even human health. Therefore, developing a technology for efficiently removing CIP from wastewater will have very important practical significance.

[0003] Among many wastewater treatment technologies, advanced oxidation technologies are widely used to remove various organic pollutants due to their high oxidation ability, mild reaction conditions, good removal effect, and short reaction time. Among them, the advanced oxidation technology using peroxymonosulfate (PMS) as an oxidant has been widely studied and applied due to its good water solubility, convenient storage and transportation, and strong oxidation ability. The ability of PMS itself to oxidize organic pollutants is limited, and it needs to rely on external substances and energy to activate and generate oxidative free radicals to efficiently oxidize and degrade organic pollutants. At present, the main methods for activating PMS are to use external energies such as heat, ultrasound, or light, and to use materials such as transition metals and their oxides as catalysts to activate PMS to generate various free radicals. In recent years, coupling PMS activation with photocatalytic technology has received wide attention due to its high catalytic efficiency and low energy consumption.

[0004] The key to photocatalytic technology is to prepare a photocatalyst with good visible light response. Semiconductor photocatalytic technology has received more and more attention as a reliable, green, and efficient method for solar energy conversion and environmental purification. Traditional TiO 2 catalysts can perform functions such as photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production, dye-sensitized solar cells, photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, and conversion of CO 2 into organic fuels. Traditional TiO 2 catalysts have the characteristics of low cost, stable chemical properties, and high oxidation ability. However, the practical application of this traditional photocatalyst is quite limited because it only responds to ultraviolet light, has low visible light utilization rate, a large band gap, and low quantum efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the problems that traditional photocatalysts only respond to ultraviolet light, have low visible light utilization rate, large band gap, low quantum efficiency, etc., the purpose of the present invention is to provide a Schottky heterojunction photocatalyst, its preparation method and application.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] One of the technical solutions of the present invention is a preparation method of a Schottky heterojunction photocatalyst, which includes the following steps:

[0008] Step 1. Disperse Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets in water to obtain a dispersion;

[0009] Step 2. Add an Sn source and a sulfur source to the dispersion, mix evenly and then react to obtain a Schottky heterojunction photocatalyst.

[0010] Another technical solution of the present invention is a Schottky heterojunction photocatalyst prepared by the above preparation method.

[0011] Another technical solution of the present invention is an application of the above Schottky heterojunction photocatalyst in catalyzing the degradation of ciprofloxacin by peroxymonosulfate.

[0012] Another technical solution of the present invention is a method for degrading ciprofloxacin. Add the above Schottky heterojunction photocatalyst and peroxymonosulfate to the ciprofloxacin-containing wastewater and react under visible light.

[0013] The present invention discloses the following technical effects:

[0014] The present invention composes C-SnS 2 and MXenes to form a Schottky heterojunction photocatalyst to couple with PMS activation. Through the sub-metal characteristics of MXenes, the separation of charge carriers is promoted and a series of free radicals are generated by promoting PMS activation, thereby enhancing the degradation ability of the reaction system for organic matter. The removal rate of CIP within 60 minutes can reach 98.2%, and the reaction rate constant k can reach 0.07068 min -1 , which is 5.51 times higher than that of C-SnS 2 . Description of the Drawings

Other embodiments obtained from the present invention specification are obvious to those skilled in the art. The present invention specification and examples are merely exemplary.

[0026] As a cheap and environmentally friendly visible light photocatalytic material, SnS 2 has been used to remove organic pollutants and heavy metal ions and has received wide attention. However, SnS 2 has a relatively small specific surface area and a slow charge transfer rate, resulting in low photocatalytic activity. Changing the electronic structure by doping heteroatoms is an effective strategy. Compared with S atoms, C atoms with a smaller radius have lower energy and more empty 2p orbitals, which can generate sp2 hybridization sites on the outermost layer. In addition, the electronegativity difference between C and S will cause asymmetric charge distribution, thus generating highly active defects in SnS 2 . Therefore, SnS doped with C 2 (C-SnS 2 ) can significantly improve the photocatalytic activity of SnS 2 .

[0027] MXenes are two-dimensional metal carbides, carbon nitrides or nitrides, with strong carrier mobility, good hydrophilicity and numerous functional groups. MXenes are a potential photocatalytic material that can effectively transfer photo-generated charge carriers and provide a large number of surface active sites for the photocatalytic process. MXenes have sub-metal properties, and combining with semiconductors can generate Schottky junctions. Electrons in the semiconductor transfer to MXenes through the semiconductor / metal interface of the Schottky junction until the Fermi levels of the two materials reach equilibrium, thus generating a space charge region and band bending (Schottky barrier). In addition to suppressing the recombination of electrons and holes in the semiconductor, the Schottky barrier also restricts the backflow of electrons from the metal to the semiconductor. In addition, the Schottky junction usually generates an internal electric field, thus effectively promoting carrier separation. Therefore, it is very feasible to design a Schottky catalyst based on MXene to obtain more effective photocatalytic activity.

[0028] The first aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a Schottky heterojunction photocatalyst, comprising the following steps:

[0037] In the present invention, if the ratio of the Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets, SnCl 4 , and L-cysteine is not within the above range, the catalytic effect of the finally obtained catalyst will be reduced.
