Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor photocatalysis, and in particular, relates to a composite photocatalyst and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, semiconductor catalysts have made important breakthroughs in treating wastewater contaminated by macromolecular organic matter. Chinese researchers have successfully synthesized a series of new photocatalytic materials using a variety of methods, including solid-phase synthesis, semiconductor composites, and doping with transition metal ions and non-metallic ions. These new materials can photocatalytically degrade organic macromolecules into non-toxic carbon dioxide, water, and some small molecules under ultraviolet light.

[0003] Traditional titanium dioxide is a widely used photocatalytic material. It shows high stability in acids, alkalis and most solvents, is suitable for a variety of environments, and is low-cost, rich in raw materials, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Under ultraviolet light, it can effectively degrade organic pollutants and kill microorganisms. However, titanium dioxide can only absorb ultraviolet light, which accounts for only 5% of sunlight, and has an extremely low utilization rate of visible light. The titanium dioxide photocatalytic system in the prior art generally uses artificial ultraviolet lamps as light sources and has no use value. Extending the available spectral range to the visible light region and using sunlight as a light source are key factors that determine whether it can be applied on a large scale in practice. Based on this, the present invention provides a composite photocatalyst and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the invention

[0060] Comparative Example 1

[0061] The organic semiconductor used in the raw material was replaced by polythiophene, and the remaining preparation steps were the same as in Example 3.

[0062] A method for preparing a composite photocatalyst comprises the following steps:

[0063] Step 1: Disperse 3 parts of polythiophene in 100 parts of tetrahydrofuran by weight, stir for 30 minutes at room temperature and a speed of 400 rpm to obtain a mixed solution for use;

[0066] Experimental Example 1

[0067] The photocatalytic performance of the composite photocatalysts in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 was tested by degrading Rhodamine B at room temperature:

[0068] Under light-proof conditions, 50 mg of the composite photocatalysts obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 were added to 50 mL of a 10 mg / L rhodamine B solution, stirred and mixed evenly, and then illuminated with a 300 W xenon lamp, using a filter to provide visible light with a wavelength of λ ≥ 400 nm. After the illumination began, 4 mL of the sample was taken every 20 min, and the supernatant was taken after centrifugation and analyzed with a UV-visible spectrophotometer and the characteristic peak signal intensity of rhodamine B was recorded, and the photodegradation efficiency % = C was calculated. 实时浓度 / C 初始浓度, the test results are shown in Table 1:

[0069] Table 1

[0070]

[0071] It can be seen from Table 1 that the degradation efficiency of the composite photocatalyst of the present invention in Examples 1-3 for Rhodamine B in water is much better than that of the composite photocatalyst in Comparative Example 1. The reason is that after the homemade organic semiconductor of the present invention is replaced with polythiophene, conventional polythiophene is infusible and insoluble, and has a poor dispersion effect in the solution, making it difficult to form a good interface bonding force with nano-titanium dioxide.
