[0068] Test Case
[0069] (1) X-ray diffraction analysis
[0070] X-ray diffraction analysis was performed on the target products prepared in Examples 1-4 and the comparative example, and the results were as follows: Figure 1 As shown, (a) is the XRD spectrum of each target product, and (b) is the XRD spectrum after local enlargement in (a).
[0071] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the 2θ value is 10.9 ◦ , 25.1 ◦ , 31.7 ◦ , 32.2 ◦ , 39.4 ◦ , 46.2 ◦ and 57.2 ◦ The diffraction peaks correspond to the (001), (101), (102), (110), (112), (200) and (212) planes. By comparison, it was found that a series of diffraction peaks matched well with the standard card (PDF#09-0393), and no impurity peaks were observed, indicating that the prepared sample had high purity (a), the photocatalyst material was successfully prepared, and the high diffraction peaks indicated good crystallinity.
[0072] The enlarged XRD spectrum (b) shows that the diffraction peaks of the (102) and (110) planes of the target product of the comparative example have not shifted, which indicates that the target product of the comparative example has not been doped with nitrogen. In the target products of Examples 1-4, as the amount of urea increases, the diffraction peaks of the (102) and (110) planes of the target products shift toward lower 2θ values, which indicates that nitrogen doping exists in the target products of Examples 1-4. Nitrogen doping leads to N 3- Replaced some O 2- , or N 3- The gaps between them are doped with [Bi2O2] 2+ According to the Bragg equation, when N 3- The ionic radius (1.71 Å) is larger than that of O 2- When the ionic radius (1.40 Å) of BiOBr is increased, the interplanar spacing of BiOBr increases, resulting in a decrease in the 2θ position.
[0073] (2) Transmission electron microscopy analysis
[0074] The target products obtained in Example 3 and the comparative example were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. The analysis results are as follows: Figure 2 Wherein, (a) and (b) are TEM images of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3, respectively, and (c) and (d) are HRTEM images of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3, respectively.
[0075] As can be seen from (a) and (b), the sheet thickness of the target product of Example 3 is thinner than that of the target product of the comparative example, which indicates that after N doping, the sheet thickness of the prepared target product can be reduced, significantly shortening the distance for electrons to escape to the surface of the material, thereby better improving the performance of the material in photocatalytic reduction of CO2. In (c) and (d), the lattice spacing of the {102} crystal plane of the target product of the comparative example is 0.282 nm, and the lattice spacing of the {102} crystal plane of the target product of Example 3 is 0.284 nm, which further confirms the successful preparation of the BiOBr photocatalyst. It is also worth noting that the lattice spacing of the target product of Example 3 is greater than that of the target product of the comparative example, which indicates that the lattice constant of the target product of Example 3 becomes smaller, confirming that N is successfully doped into the unit cell of the target product of Example 3.
[0076] (3) Element mapping analysis
[0077] The target product of Example 3 was subjected to elemental mapping analysis, and the results were as follows: Figure 3 As shown, (a) is the Bi element mapping diagram, (b) is the Br element mapping diagram, (c) is the O element mapping diagram, and (d) is the N element mapping diagram. Figure 3 It can be seen that Bi, O, Br, and N are uniformly distributed in the target product of Example 3, which proves that N is uniformly doped into the BiOBr lattice of the target product of Example 3.
[0078] (4) Electron spin resonance analysis
[0079] In order to explore the structure and photoelectric properties of the samples, the target products obtained in Example 3 and the comparative example were subjected to electron spin resonance (ESR) tests. The test results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 It can be seen that compared with the target product of the comparative example, the oxygen vacancy signal intensity of the target product of Example 3 is significantly enhanced, which indicates that N-doping of BiOBr will change [Bi2O2] 2+ The bonding environment leads to unit cell disorder and the generation of oxygen vacancies, which can greatly optimize the chemical bond structure and electron distribution of the BiOBr catalyst.
[0080] (5) Transient fluorescence analysis
[0081] Transient fluorescence analysis was performed on the target products obtained in Example 3 and the comparative example, and the results were as follows: Figure 5 As shown. Figure 5 It can be seen that the short lifetime (τ1) and long lifetime (τ2) of the target product of Example 3 (τ1 = 2.06, τ2 = 21.01) indicate that the lifetime of the photogenerated charges is prolonged compared with the target product of the comparative example (τ1 = 1.49, τ2 = 11.25).a =(A1τ1 2 + A2τ2 2 ) / (A1 τ1 + A2 τ2), the photogenerated charge lifetime (2.30 ns) of the target product in Example 3 is extended compared to the average lifetime (1.53 ns) of BiOBr. Based on the above results, it is inferred that N 3- The introduction of improves the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes in BiOBr photocatalysts, promotes charge transfer and obtains high photocatalytic activity.
[0082] (6) UV-visible diffuse reflectance analysis
[0083] UV-visible diffuse reflectance analysis was performed on the target products obtained in Example 3 and the comparative example, and the analysis results obtained are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, (a) is the UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS), and (b) is the band gap (Eg) analysis result diagram based on the UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectrum. As can be seen from (a), the absorbance of the comparative target product in the UV region is weak, and the absorbance in the visible region is also low, indicating that it is difficult for the comparative target product to achieve the purpose of reducing CO2 under visible light. After N doping, the target product of Example 3 has an enhanced absorption capacity for visible light, proving that nitrogen doping can effectively regulate the energy band structure.
[0084] UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy is also used to analyze the band gap (Eg) of the prepared photocatalyst. Eg can be calculated by the formula α(hν)=A(hν-Eg) n / 2 Obtained. Where α, h, ν, A and Eg represent coefficient, Planck constant, optical frequency, band constant and band gap energy, respectively. When the catalyst is a direct semiconductor, n is 1; when the catalyst is an indirect semiconductor, n is 4. Since BiOBr is an indirect semiconductor, α(hν)=A(hν-Eg) n / 2 After rearrangement, we get [α(hν)] 1 / 2 Proportional to hν. [α(hν)] 1 / 2 As the ordinate and hν as the abscissa, the intersection of the tangent and the abscissa is Eg. As shown in (b), the Eg of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3 are 2.73 eV and 2.58 eV, respectively.
[0085] (7) Solid-state fluorescence analysis
[0086] The separation and migration of photoinduced carriers were studied by steady-state photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy at 290 nm excitation. The samples were the target products obtained in Example 3 and the comparative example. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown. Figure 7In the example, BiOBr exhibits a PL signal at 465 nm. The emission intensity of the target product of Example 3 is much lower than that of the target product of the comparative example, which means that the e − –h + The lowest recombination rate indicates that the photoinduced charge separation efficiency is high, which indicates that the separation of carriers is significantly promoted after N-doping of BiOBr samples.
[0087] (8) Photocurrent analysis
[0088] In order to study the effect of doping on the carrier separation efficiency, a photochemical experiment was conducted. Transient photocurrent is commonly used to directly illustrate the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes. The samples are the target products obtained in Example 3 and the comparative example. The results are shown in Figure 8 shown. Figure 8 The photocurrent response of the prepared samples is shown. It can be seen that compared with the target product of the comparative example, the photocurrent intensity of the target product of Example 3 is significantly enhanced, proving that nitrogen doping reduces the electron migration resistance of the material and significantly improves the separation and transfer of carriers (the same as the impedance conclusion below).
[0089] (9) Dark impedance analysis
[0090] The charge transfer kinetics between the photocatalysts was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test. The samples were the target products obtained in Example 3 and the comparative example. The results are shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown. Fig. 9 It can be seen that compared with the target product of the comparative example, the semicircle of the target product nanomaterial of Example 3 is smaller and the photocurrent intensity is significantly enhanced, which proves that the target product nanocomposite material of Example 3 reduces the electron migration resistance of the material and significantly improves the separation and transfer of carriers.
[0091] (10) X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis
[0092] The structures of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3 were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Fig.10 As shown, (a) is the high-resolution Bi 4f XPS spectrum of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3, (b) is the Br 3d spectrum of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3, (c) is the O 1s spectrum of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3, and (d) is the N1s spectrum of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3. The XPS measurement spectrum shows that the Bi, O, Br and N elements of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3 have good EDX spectra.
[0093] The high-resolution Bi 4f XPS spectrum of the target product of the comparative example shows peaks at 159.43 eV and 164.69 eV, which are attributed to the Bi 3+ Bi 4f 7 / 2 and Bi 4f 5 / 2 Example 3 Bi 4f of the target product 7 / 2 and Bi 4f 5 / 2 Located at 159.19 eV and 164.46 eV respectively, the two peaks are attributed to Bi 3+ (a), which shows that N doping does not change the valence state of Bi. 3+ form. However, it can be clearly seen that the Bi 4f peak of the target product in Example 3 moves to a lower binding energy, indicating that the electron density of the Bi ion increases. According to the definition of electronegativity, the more electronegative an atom is, the greater its attraction to the bonding electrons. The electronegativity of oxygen (3.44) is greater than that of nitrogen (3.04), so in the Bi-O bond, oxygen will attract more electron pairs, causing the electron density of Bi to decrease relatively. After N is doped in BiOBr, N replaces the O atom to form a Bi-N bond. Since the electronegativity of nitrogen is less than that of oxygen, nitrogen has a weaker ability to attract electron pairs, so the electron density of Bi increases relatively. Therefore, after changing from a Bi-O bond to a Bi-N bond, the electron density of Bi will increase.
[0094] The Br 3d spectrum of the target product of the comparative example has two peaks at around 68.50 eV and 69.56 eV, corresponding to Br - Br 3d 5 / 2 and Br 3d 3 / 2 Example 3 Br 3d in the target product 5 / 2 and Br 3d 3 / 2 The peak of Br − The charge of N-doped BiOBr increases (b), indicating that the N-doped BiOBr reacts with [Bi2O2] 2+ O in the form of [Bi2O2N] 2+ layer, [Bi2ON] 2+ and [Br2] 2- The structural rearrangement of the plates is beneficial to the polarization effect between the layers and enables fast charge transfer.
[0095] The O 1s peak can also be fitted into three peaks near 530 eV, 532 eV and 533 eV (c), which are attributed to lattice oxygen (Bi-O), chemically adsorbed oxygen species (Ov) and hydroxyl (OH), respectively. It can be seen that the peak of the Bi-O bond has a significant decrease, indicating that N replaces O atoms and inserts into [Bi2O2] 2+Compared with the target product of the comparative example, the Ov peak of the target product of Example 3 increases (c), and the ESR results can more intuitively show that the number of oxygen vacancies in the target product sample of Example 3 increases ( Figure 4 In addition, the main peak of O 1s in the target product of Example 3 shifts to a lower binding energy, indicating that N 3- The introduction of has a great influence on the local chemical environment, making the charge of O more negative.
[0096] (d) shows the high-resolution XPS spectrum of N 1s, with a micro-peak observed at 399.74 eV and a signal at 398.6 eV associated with the Bi-N bond in the nitride, confirming the presence of N in the target product of Example 3. In this study, no signal corresponding to N was detected in the spectrum of the target product sample of the comparative example, while N signal was detected in the target product sample of Example 3, indicating that the addition of excess urea can serve as a N source for N-doping BiOBr.
[0097] (11) Mott-Schottky test
[0098] The flat band potential (Efb) was measured using the Mott-Schottky plot collected by the electrochemical workstation. The samples were the target products obtained in Example 3 and the comparative example. The results are shown in Fig.11 As shown. Fig.11 As shown, the intersection of the tangent line of the image and the abscissa is the flat band potential value of the catalyst relative to the Ag / AgCl electrode. The flat band potential values of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3 relative to the Ag / AgCl electrode are -1.21 eV and -1.32 eV, respectively, and the slope of the image is positive, indicating that BiOBr is an n-type semiconductor. The flat band potential value relative to the hydrogen electrode can be calculated by the following formula:
[0099] ERHE=EAg / AgCl+0.059pH+EAg / AgCl 0 ,
[0100] Among them, EAg / AgCl 0 =+0.199 V, pH=6.8, RHE corresponds to normal hydrogen electrode (NHE) at pH=0.
[0101] Therefore, the flat band potential values of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3 relative to the hydrogen electrode are respectively -0.61 V and -0.72 V. Since the flat band potential of the n-type semiconductor relative to the hydrogen electrode is very close to the conduction band position, the conduction band potential ECB of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3 catalysts are respectively -0.61 V and -0.72 V vs NHE.
[0102] (12) Energy band structure diagram
[0103] The band gap energies Eg of the comparative target product and the target product of Example 3 were obtained by DRS, which were 2.73 eV and 2.58 eV, respectively. According to the formula EVB=ECB+Eg, the valence band potentials of the comparative target product and the target product of Example 3 were 2.12 V and 1.86 V, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that the introduction of N will shorten the band gap distance ( Fig.12 ), electrons can more easily jump from the valence band to the conduction band, thereby improving the activity of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Fig.12 It is shown that the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Example 3 can effectively reduce CO2 to CO under visible light because their conduction band and valence band span the redox potential of CO2 to CO.
[0104] (13) Photocatalytic CO2 reduction experiment
[0105] In order to evaluate the photocatalytic CO2 activity of the target product of the comparative example and the target product of Examples 1-4 after N doping, a photoreduction experiment was carried out in a gas-solid reactor without using any sacrificial agent under full spectrum irradiation of a Xe lamp, with a CO2 concentration of 15% and a time of 2 h. The results are as follows Fig.13 Among them, (a) and (b) show the line graph of CO generation amount and average CO generation rate of different samples after 4 hours of Xe lamp irradiation. It can be seen that the activity of the target product in Example 3 is the best, and the average CO generation rate is 51.3 μmol·g -1 ·h -1 (c) and (d) are comparison diagrams of the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 activity of the target product sample of Example 3 and the target product sample of the comparative example. From the corresponding CO generation amount and CO average generation rate of the two samples, it can be seen that the activity of the target product sample of Example 3 is 7.1 times that of the target product sample of the comparative example.
