Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional materials technology, specifically to a lignin-based carbon halooxybismuth Z-type heterojunction composite material with a regular flower-like morphology, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, resource scarcity and environmental pollution have increasingly become critical issues threatening human survival and development. The development and utilization of new phenomena, theories, and technologies capable of safely, rapidly, with low energy consumption, and with high efficiency in degrading various pollutants have become a hot topic of continuous exploration for researchers. Due to its advantages of being green, mild, and energy-efficient, solar energy as the sole energy source for removing pollutants from water bodies has gradually become one of the most promising strategies for alleviating energy shortages and protecting the water environment. As a key step in achieving efficient water purification, the development of efficient, environmentally friendly, highly stable, and inexpensive photoresponsive materials has also become a focus of attention for scientists both now and in the future.

[0003] The mechanism of semiconductor photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants utilizes the strong oxidizing power of holes or the reactive species generated by electrons and holes in water, such as hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide radicals (·O). 2- The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 and its secondary free radicals can undergo a series of reactions with organic pollutants in the system, including addition, substitution, and electron transfer. These free radicals break the C-C bonds and CH bonds in the organic matter, ultimately converting it into CO2 and H2O, thus degrading the organic pollutants. While traditional semiconductor photocatalysts, such as TiO2, possess advantages like high stability, non-toxicity, and low cost, their wide band gaps (e.g., 3.2 eV for anatase TiO2 and 3.0 eV for rutile TiO2) limit their practical application to a small proportion of ultraviolet light. Furthermore, the easy recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes and the tendency for nanoparticles to aggregate significantly reduce the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. Therefore, developing photocatalytic materials with broad spectral response and high catalytic activity is of great practical significance.

[0004] In recent years, a series of novel semiconductor photocatalytic materials have emerged to address these problems, including metal oxides (Ag₂O, ZnO, SnO₂, ZrO₂), vanadates (BiAlVO₇, BiVO₄), tungsticomolybdates (Bi₂MoO₆, Bi₂WO₆), and bismuth oxyhalides (BiOCl, BiOBr, BiOI). Among them, bismuth oxyhalides BiOX (X = Cl, Br, and I), composed of multiple components from the V-VI-VII main groups, possess the characteristic of [Bi₂O₂] 2+ The layered structure, with bonds intertwined with halogens, creates a structure within the BiOX crystal perpendicular to [Bi2O2]. 2+The internal electric field between the photogenerated electrons and halogens promotes the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, resulting in excellent photocatalytic activity in BiOX semiconductors. Furthermore, the band gap of BiOX semiconductors decreases from 4.18 eV (BiOF) to 1.7 eV (BiOI) with increasing atomic number, significantly expanding the material's photocatalytic activity range. These materials show broad application prospects in the degradation of organic pollutants. However, BiOX materials also have several limitations. BiOCl has virtually no visible light response, limiting its utilization of sunlight; BiOBr has a suitable band gap, but its absorption range for visible light is narrow, requiring further tuning of the band structure; BiOI has a narrow band gap, making it easy for photogenerated carriers and holes to recombine, resulting in low photocatalytic efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The flower-like morphology and Z-type heterojunction effectively promote the separation of photogenerated carriers and holes, resulting in higher photoreaction efficiency.

Furthermore, this lignin carbon-based material uses lignocellulose from agricultural waste as a carbon source, making it environmentally friendly, low-cost, and easy to synthesize with a simple and feasible method and considerable yield. The photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants occurs under mild reaction conditions and is simple to operate, showing broad application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0055] <Photocatalytic performance testing>

[0056] 20 mg of BiOCl, the composite materials prepared in Examples 1 and 2, and Comparative Examples 1-3 were weighed and placed in a special quartz reactor. Under light-protected conditions, 50 ml of methylene blue MB solution and Rhodamine RhB (20 mg / L) were added respectively. At room temperature, the reactor was transferred to a 500 W xenon lamp for 3 hours of illumination, with samples taken every 20 minutes. The absorbance of each sample at the 664 nm absorption wavelength was measured using a Purkinje T6 New Century UV-Vis spectrophotometer.

[0057] Figure 2 (a) and (b) show the XRD patterns of BiOCl and 3% BiOCl@C before and after 3 h of photocatalytic degradation of MB and RhB, respectively. As shown in the figure, the crystal structure of BiOCl and 3% BiOCl@C did not change before and after the reaction, which indicates the stability of the PbFCl type structure of the bismuth halide material.

[0058] Figure 3 Bismuth oxide materials with medium halogens: 3% BiOCl@C (Example 1) and 3% BiOCl 0.5 Br 0.5In the UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra of sample @C (Example 2), 3% BiOCl@C and 3% BiOCl 0.5 Br 0.5 The @C sample exhibits strong light absorption across the entire visible light region. The lignin carbon material sample in the image does not show strong light absorption across the entire visible light region. Data analysis shows that the band gap of 3% BiOCl@C is Eg = 3.14 eV, and the 3% BiOCl... 0.5 Br 0.5 The bandgap of @C is Eg = 2.92 eV. The bandgap of both materials is smaller than that of BiOCl, indicating that the formation of the flower-like structure and Z-shaped heterojunction enhances the visible light response of the materials.

[0059] Figure 4 As shown, 3% BiOCl 0.5 Br 0.5 The @C (Example 2) catalyst significantly improved the degradation rate of organic dyes, with degradation rates of 96.8% and 81.3% for MB and RhB, respectively; 3% BiOCl@C (Example 1) showed a degradation rate of 83.6% for MB and 62.7% for RhB.

[0060] When lignin carbon and bromine were not added to the system, BiOCl degraded MB and RhB by 37.3% and 46.2% respectively, with no significant degradation effect.

[0061] This indicates that the combined effect of the flower-like structure and the Z-shaped heterostructure enhances the catalyst's performance, which can be attributed to the following two aspects. Firstly, the well-ordered flower-like structure of the material enables spatial separation of the BiOX nanosheets and increases the material's specific surface area, significantly improving the contact area between the BiOX material and the pollutants, thus strengthening the photocatalytic reaction. Secondly, when the two halogen salts are mixed and hydrothermally heated, BiOX is formed. n Y 1-n In this type of compound, a Z-shaped heterojunction is formed between two similar semiconductor structures, which promotes the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes and extends the visible light response of the material. The synergistic effect of these two effects enables the catalyst to achieve optimal photocatalytic performance.

[0062] The catalyst in Comparative Example 1 exhibited degradation rates of 72.6% for MB and 66.4% for RhB. The catalyst in Comparative Example 2 showed degradation rates of 78.2% for MB and 68.3% for RhB. The catalyst in Comparative Example 3 achieved degradation rates of 46.6% for MB and 62.5% for RhB.

[0063] Compared with Example 2, the degradation rates of MB and RhB by the catalysts in Comparative Examples 1-3 were all lower. This indicates that medium-temperature calcination with controlled heating rate can effectively retain the rich oxygen-containing functional groups unique to lignin. Then, by controlling the dropping rate and pH adjustment, the oxygen-containing functional groups on the lignin surface form electron-donating hydroxyl groups and electron-withdrawing halide ions that attract each other, thereby achieving spatial separation of BiOX nanosheets, forming a flower-like morphology, and increasing the energy barrier for photogenerated electron-hole recombination.

[0064] The specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications or variations within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the essence of the present invention.
