Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of inorganic synthesis, and specifically discloses a terephthalic acid modified bismuth oxychloride-based composite photocatalyst, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] The accelerating advancement of the global industrialization and modernization processes has significantly exacerbated the problem of water environmental pollution. Among them, the printing and dyeing industrial wastewater has become one of the main pollution sources threatening the ecological system balance and human health due to its complex composition, high toxicity, high chromaticity, and difficult degradation characteristics. In this context, the research and development of efficient and low-cost advanced sewage purification technologies are of great strategic significance for achieving environmental sustainable development. As an emerging green catalytic system, semiconductor photocatalysis technology exhibits broad application prospects in the field of environmental governance by virtue of its strong redox ability, low secondary pollution, and solar energy-driven characteristics. This technology can not only achieve the mineralization and degradation of organic pollutants but also be synchronously applied to multiple functions such as photocatalytic hydrogen production from water splitting, air purification, and antibacterial treatment. At present, although the theoretical research on traditional semiconductor photocatalysis is relatively mature, there are still three major technical bottlenecks in the actual treatment of dye wastewater: (1) the low matching degree between the band gap of the intrinsic semiconductor material and the solar spectrum leads to insufficient visible light absorption efficiency; (2) the rapid recombination of photo-generated carriers (electron-hole pairs) seriously weakens the quantum yield; (3) the difficult solid-liquid separation of nano-scale catalysts results in low recovery and utilization rates. These technical defects severely restrict the industrialization promotion process of semiconductor photocatalysis technology. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a terephthalic acid modified bismuth oxychloride-based composite photocatalyst, which is composed of a bismuth oxychloride suspension and a terephthalic acid solution with a solute molar ratio of 1:2 to 2:1.
[0005] The method for preparing a terephthalic acid modified bismuth oxychloride-based composite photocatalyst includes the following steps:
[0006] First step, magnetically stir the bismuth oxychloride suspension and the terephthalic acid solution with a molar ratio of 1:2 to 2:1 respectively.
[0007] Second step, add the magnetically stirred terephthalic acid solution to the magnetically stirred bismuth oxychloride suspension dropwise in 3 times at a dropping rate of 20 - 30 drops / min. After the dropping is completed, perform room temperature stirring to obtain a solid-phase product.
[0008] In the third step, the solid-phase product obtained in the second step is centrifuged and washed 3 to 4 times each with ultrapure water and absolute ethanol.

[0010] A further preferred scheme is that the preparation method of the bismuth oxychloride suspension is: weighing bismuth nitrate pentahydrate and potassium chloride with a molar ratio of 1:2 to 2:1, placing them in a transparent glass sample tube, adding an appropriate amount of ultrapure water thereto, sealing the tube, and ultrasonically treating for 10 to 20 min at a temperature of 20 to 30 °C to obtain the bismuth oxychloride suspension.
[0011] A further preferred scheme is that the preparation method of the terephthalic acid solution is: weighing terephthalic acid and 0.1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution with a mass ratio of 0.05:1 to 0.1:1, adding the 0.1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution to terephthalic acid according to the said ratio, sealing the tube, and ultrasonically treating for 10 to 20 min at a temperature of 20 to 30 °C to obtain the terephthalic acid solution.
[0012] The terephthalic acid-modified bismuth oxychloride-based composite photocatalyst of the present invention is applied to the visible-light catalytic degradation of organic dyes.
[0013] Applying the terephthalic acid-modified bismuth oxychloride-based composite photocatalyst prepared in this scheme to the degradation of organic dyes: measuring 50 mL of the prepared 20 mg / L rhodamine B solution into a quartz beaker, accurately weighing 20 mg of the catalyst with an electronic balance, adding it to the rhodamine B solution, and stirring in the dark for 30 min to achieve adsorption-desorption equilibrium; transferring the mixed solution to a 30 W household LED lamp for a photocatalytic degradation experiment, taking 4 mL of the rhodamine B solution every 10 min, and centrifuging to separate and taking the supernatant to measure ultraviolet light.

[0016] (2) The present invention organically combines bismuth oxychloride and terephthalic acid, and terephthalic acid is intercalated into the layered structure of bismuth oxychloride, making the originally layered structure formed by the alternation of [Bi2O2] layers and double-halogen layers more hierarchical, having sufficient space to polarize the corresponding atoms and atomic orbitals, and effectively separating photogenerated electrons and holes; 2+ The layered structure formed by the alternation of layers and double-halogen layers has a richer hierarchy, has sufficient space to polarize the corresponding atoms and atomic orbitals, and effectively separates photogenerated electrons and holes;
[0017] (3) The microscopic morphology of the prepared terephthalic acid-modified bismuth oxychloride-based composite photocatalyst changes from the layered structure of bismuth oxychloride to a three-dimensional cross-linked thin flake shape, with an increased specific surface area and an increased contact area with pollutants during the degradation process, which is conducive to improving the catalytic activity.

[0054] Figure 1 XRD patterns of different photocatalysts. The terephthalic acid modified bismuth oxychloride based composite photocatalyst obtained in the present invention has a good crystal form. By comparing with pure bismuth oxychloride and terephthalic acid, it can be seen that the two are successfully compounded, indicating that bismuth oxychloride and terephthalic acid have good compatibility;
[0055] Figure 2 Scanning electron microscope image of the bismuth oxychloride photocatalyst obtained in step (1) of the example. It can be seen that the morphology of bismuth oxychloride is a flaky structure with a relatively flat surface;
[0056] Figure 3 Scanning electron microscope image of the terephthalic acid modified bismuth oxychloride based composite photocatalyst obtained in this example.

[0057] Figure 4 Degradation effect diagrams of Rhodamine B in different photocatalyst systems.

The terephthalic acid modified bismuth oxychloride based composite photocatalyst obtained in the present invention has an adsorption of Rhodamine B similar to that of pure bismuth oxychloride. However, under visible light, the degradation rate of this composite photocatalyst for Rhodamine B is as high as 99.8% within 20 min, and the degradation rate and efficiency are both higher than those of pure bismuth oxychloride;
[0058] Figure 5 Cyclic stability diagram of the terephthalic acid modified bismuth oxychloride based composite photocatalyst for the degradation of Rhodamine B obtained in this example. After 4 cycles of catalysis, the degradation rate is about 81% after 60 minutes of illumination;
[0059] Figure 6 Free radical capture experiment diagram of the terephthalic acid modified bismuth oxychloride based composite photocatalyst for the degradation of Rhodamine B obtained in this example. Adding isopropyl alcohol for capture has little effect on the reaction, indicating that ·OH is not the active species in this degradation reaction; however, adding p-benzoquinone, EDTA, and AgNO3 significantly reduces the degradation effect. Therefore, the main active species in the photocatalytic degradation in the present invention are ·O2 - 、h + and e - .
