Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical material preparation, specifically relating to a method for preparing an iron-doped bismuth oxychloride visible light photocatalytic material. The material is prepared by a simple hydrolysis method and has a very important application in the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. Background Technology
[0002] Photocatalysis is a novel green oxidation-reduction technology widely used for the removal of recalcitrant organic matter from water. Compared to other photocatalytic materials, nano-BiOCl has attracted widespread attention in environmental pollution control due to its unique layered structure and strong internal electrostatic field, resulting in high photocatalytic activity, low cost, good stability, and safety. However, it also suffers from a wide band gap and poor response under visible light. In the traditional process of preparing BiOCl by hydrolysis of BiCl3, strong acids such as concentrated hydrochloric acid are usually used to create an acidic environment, followed by hydrolysis in deionized water. This invention, based on the principles of simple, green, and pollution-free processes, uses FeCl3·6H2O as the Fe source for metal ion doping. Simultaneously, the acidic solvent environment after FeCl3 dissolves in water is beneficial for the Bi2O3 raw material to produce Bi ions. 3+ The process involves dissolving and further hydrolyzing BiOCl, simultaneously addressing the challenges of green synthesis and extended photoresponse. Metal ion doping promotes interfacial charge transfer, thereby achieving higher visible-light-driven catalytic activity. This invention utilizes Fe via a simple hydrolysis method. 3+ BiOCl was doped to construct a Fe-BiOCl material with a uniformly assembled three-dimensional flower-like structure and highly efficient visible-light photocatalytic activity. The results show that Fe-BiOCl possesses visible-light photocatalytic properties and can efficiently degrade dye pollutants. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a method for preparing an iron-doped bismuth oxychloride visible light photocatalyst. The specific preparation steps are as follows:
[0004] (1) Prepare a certain amount of CaCl2 and FeCl3·6H2O mixed solution 50mL, add 1mmol Bi2O3, stir magnetically for 30min, dissolve evenly and let stand for 1h, and record it as solution A.
[0005] (2) Measure 50-100 mL of deionized water into a beaker and label it as solution B.
[0006] (3) Take the supernatant of solution A after standing and slowly drip it into solution B. After standing for 12 hours, a precipitate is obtained. The precipitate is washed with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol and centrifuged. The precipitate is dried in an oven at 60°C for 12 hours to obtain Fe-BiOCl.
[0007] (4) The preferred preparation process is Fe-BiOCl prepared by simple hydrolysis. The concentration of CaCl2 is 2.0 mol / L, the concentration of FeCl3·6H2O is 0.3 mol / L, and the amount of deionized water in solution B is 100 mL.
[0008] This process uses a simple hydrolysis method to prepare Fe-BiOCl, which requires neither hydrochloric acid nor high-temperature calcination, making it simple and safe. This method can convert Fe... 3+ Incorporating BiOCl transforms its sheet-like structure into a uniformly assembled three-dimensional flower-like structure of nanosheets, with a diameter of approximately 0.5-1 μm, a single sheet size of about 0.5 μm, a thickness of about 10 nm, and a specific surface area of up to 78.94 m². 2 g -1 Increasing the specific surface area of photocatalytic materials can increase the number of active sites for photocatalytic response and improve their photocatalytic reaction efficiency.
[0009] The main advantages of this invention are as follows:
