Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photocatalysts and preparation thereof, and relates to a ternary composite catalyst ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 and a preparation method thereof, and application thereof in degrading toluene. Background Art
[0002] Due to its neurotoxicity and environmental mobility, the volatile organic pollutant toluene urgently requires the development of efficient treatment technologies. Its physicochemical properties (such as low boiling point, high volatility, and low flash point) determine its complex environmental migration behavior and multiple hazards. In environmental media, toluene exists primarily in two forms: volatile gas and dissolved liquid. Volatile toluene enters the atmosphere through leakage during production, storage, transportation, and use, becoming a significant source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This not only directly pollutes the air but also participates in photochemical reactions to generate secondary pollutants. Dissolved toluene, on the other hand, penetrates into soil and water bodies through industrial wastewater discharge and accidental leaks, disrupting the structure of terrestrial ecosystems and the stability of aquatic communities. Long-term exposure to toluene-contaminated environments can lead to health problems such as respiratory irritation and neurological damage. Its multi-media migration characteristics make pollution control challenging due to the complex cross-media contamination. A comprehensive technology system encompassing source control, process monitoring, and end-of-pipe treatment is urgently needed to reduce its environmental and health risks.
[0003] A diversified system has been developed for the treatment of toluene in industrial waste gas, mainly including physical adsorption, chemical oxidation, bio-enzymatic hydrolysis, photocatalysis, and membrane separation. Among them, semiconductor photocatalytic technology has become a research hotspot due to its green and environmentally friendly characteristics. Its mechanism of action can be summarized as follows: the material is excited by light to produce electron-hole pairs, which are separated on the surface and then participate in oxidation reactions to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide radicals (·O 2- ) and other strong oxidants, mineralizing toluene into CO2 and H2O through reaction pathways such as electrophilic addition. Highly efficient photocatalytic systems require the construction of a multi-level pore structure to enhance the exposure of active sites and enhance material stability through crystal surface manipulation and heterojunction design.
[0004] As a perovskite material, the new bimetallic hydroxyl compound ZnSn(OH)6 has attracted attention due to its potential in the degradation of organic pollutants, but its research on the photocatalytic degradation of toluene is still significantly insufficient. This is because the large band gap width of the material (about 3.2eV) leads to its limited visible light response ability, which seriously restricts the improvement of light energy utilization efficiency and catalytic performance. Although photocatalysts can usually be modified by various technical means such as heterogeneous structure construction, surface functionalization, and co-catalyst loading, there is still a lack of systematic modification research on the ZnSn(OH)6 system. In particular, how to achieve significant performance improvement through multi-dimensional coordinated regulation is still a technical bottleneck that needs to be broken through in this field. Although the existing modification methods can reduce the band gap of ZnSn(OH)6 by doping with metals (such as Fe, Cu) or non-metals (N, S), it is easy to cause lattice distortion and the dopant is easy to fall off, resulting in poor stability of the modified photocatalyst and affecting the degradation effect; although a single heterojunction can improve the separation of photogenerated carriers, the band matching is still low and the interfacial charge transfer efficiency is limited, which makes the ultraviolet light response of the modified ZnSn(OH)6 poorly matched with the solar spectrum, limiting the light response range of the material. It can be seen that the existing modification methods have poor stability due to weak interactions between materials, making it difficult to achieve a stable synergistic effect, which limits the light response range of the material, resulting in low photocatalytic activity and unsatisfactory degradation effect. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In response to the technical problems of poor stability of photocatalysts and limited light response range of materials in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention provides a ternary composite catalyst ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 and its preparation method and application in the degradation of toluene.
[0006] The present invention achieves a tight compound of SrTiO3 and TiO2 through a hydrothermal method and thermal decomposition, and then utilizes SrTiO3 / TiO2 to co-modify ZnSn(OH)6 to construct an "electron-hole transport chain" dual-channel mechanism. TiO2 shortens the carrier migration path, while SrTiO3 constructs a hole-rich area through surface oxygen vacancies. The formed ternary composite catalyst not only has good stability, but also broadens the light response range of the material, further promotes carrier separation, thereby enhancing photocatalytic activity and improving the degradation effect of toluene.

[0015] Further defined, in step S1, an alkaline solution is used to adjust the pH = 9 ± 0.5, and the alkaline solution is prepared from sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide and water according to the mass ratio (1.0 - 1.2) : (0.4 - 0.6) : (40 - 60).
[0016] Further defined, the specific process of preparing strontium titanate / titanium dioxide SrTiO3 / TiO2 in step S2 is as follows:
[0017] S2.1. Tetrabutyl titanate is slowly added dropwise to isopropanol and stirred evenly to obtain solution A;
[0018] S2.2. Strontium nitrate tetrahydrate is dissolved in water and stirred evenly to obtain solution B;
[0019] S2.3. Solution B is added dropwise to solution A and mixed evenly to form a mixed system, and then the pH of the mixed system is adjusted to alkaline with an alkali solution to obtain a mixed solution;
[0020] S2.4. The mixed solution is placed in a high-pressure reaction kettle for hydrothermal reaction; then after cooling, washing and drying, a precursor powder is obtained;
[0021] S2.5. The precursor powder is annealed to complete pyrolysis; then washed to neutral and dried to obtain SrTiO3 / TiO2.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] 1. The ternary composite catalyst ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 prepared by the present invention is based on the perovskite structural characteristics of SrTiO3 and its energy band matching with TiO2. The close compounding of SrTiO3 and TiO2 is achieved through hydrothermal method and thermal decomposition (annealing treatment). In addition, the introduction of SrTiO3 also optimizes the surface micro-nanostructure of the material, forming multi-level pores, which provides a high specific surface area and active sites for the subsequent loading of ZnSn(OH)6. Then, on the SrTiO3 / TiO2 substrate, it is further loaded onto the surface of ZnSn(OH)6 by co-precipitation. The hydroxylated surface of ZnSn(OH)6 forms a strong chemical bond with the SrTiO3 / TiO2 interface, which enhances the stability of the ternary composite material, reduces the band gap to 2.86eV, broadens the light response range of the material, further promotes carrier separation, and enhances photocatalytic activity.
[0031] 2. The experimental study of the present invention found that in the ternary composite catalyst ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2, the photogenerated electrons migrate from the conduction band of TiO2 to SrTiO3, and then transfer to the surface reaction site through the hydroxyl interface of ZnSn(OH)6, while the holes are enriched in the valence band of ZnSn(OH)6, forming an efficient space charge separation; hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide radicals (·O 2- ) is the main active species, among which the surface hydroxyl groups of ZnSn(OH)6 generate ·OH by capturing holes, while the SrTiO3 / TiO2 heterojunction promotes the decomposition to generate ·O 2- , which is more conducive to the mineralization and degradation of toluene.
[0032] 3. Through experiments, the present invention found that the ternary composite catalyst ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 had a toluene degradation rate of 99.20% and a mineralization rate of 98.56%. This indicates that the ternary composite catalyst has excellent photocatalytic performance for toluene and can be used as a photocatalyst to enhance toluene degradation.
[0033] 4. The degradation rate of the ternary composite catalyst ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 prepared by the present invention remains at about 99.03% after five cycles, which is only reduced by 0.17%, indicating that the ternary composite catalyst has excellent stability.
[0034] 5. The preparation method of the ternary composite catalyst provided by the present invention adopts a co-precipitation method, a hydrothermal method and a synergistic pyrolysis strategy. The preparation method is simple and efficient, and the reaction can be completed under mild conditions. The reagents used are all conventional, readily available, non-toxic and environmentally friendly raw materials, which are easy to achieve industrial preparation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

TiO2 has six characteristic peaks, located at 25.22°, 37.81°, 48.01°, 53.92°, 54.93°, and 62.72°, respectively. These diffraction peaks correspond to the (101), (004), (200), (105), (211), and (204) crystal planes of anatase TiO2, corresponding to standard card PDF#21-1272. In the composite material, the characteristic peaks of ZnSn(OH)6, SrTiO3, and TiO2 are clearly visible and no obvious impurity peaks appear, indicating that the crystal structures of the three are preserved during the composite process. It is worth noting that the peak intensity of the ZnSn(OH)6, SrTiO3, and TiO2 crystal planes of the composite material decreases slightly, which may be due to the influence of multiphase interface interaction on the crystallization integrity. In addition, no significant shift was observed in the characteristic peak positions of the three components, indicating that the composite process did not cause obvious lattice distortion. The above results confirmed the successful construction of the ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 ternary composite catalyst.
[0125] Test 2
[0126] The experiment used the FTS-3000 spectral system of Digilab, a US company, and was tested in a constant temperature and humidity laboratory environment. Functional groups were identified by analyzing the characteristic absorption peaks generated by molecular vibrational energy level transitions.
[0127] Samples: ZnSn(OH)6 prepared in Comparative Example 1, SrTiO3 prepared in Comparative Example 2, TiO2 prepared in Comparative Example 3, / SrTiO3 / TiO2 and 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 prepared in Example 1, 10% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 prepared in Example 2, and 20% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 catalysts.
[0128] Experimental process: The sample preparation strictly follows the sample / KBr ratio of 1:100 (m / m). After being fully ground in an agate mortar, it is pressed into a transparent sheet with a diameter of 13 mm under a pressure of 10 MPa. During the test, a blank KBr background spectrum is collected simultaneously, and dynamic background subtraction, baseline correction and Savitzky-Golay smoothing are performed using OMNIC 9.2 software. The FT-IR spectra of ZnSn(OH)6, SrTiO3, TiO2, SrTiO3 / TiO2, 10% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2, 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 and 20% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 are obtained, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 shown.
[0129] See also Figure 2 The characteristic peak of pure ZnSn(OH)6 is at 3400 cm -1 The peak at 500-700 cm-1 is the broad peak of stretching vibration of hydroxyl (-OH). -1 The absorption peaks in the range are attributed to the vibration modes of Zn-O and Sn-O. In the infrared spectrum of SrTiO3, the characteristic vibration peak of Ti-O bond is located at 600cm -1 Nearby, while TiO2 is at 400-700cm -1 In the composite material, the typical Ti-O stretching vibration peak is at 620cm -1 , 540cm -1 and 598cm -1 The characteristic vibration peaks corresponding to Zn-O, Sn-O and Ti-O respectively maintain the original wavenumber positions and peak shape parameters and are clearly visible, with no new absorption peaks appearing, indicating that no new chemical bonds are formed and the original skeleton structures of the components are destroyed during the ternary composite process.
[0130] Test 3
[0131] In this study, a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) from Zeiss ULTRA plus was used to characterize and analyze the surface morphology of the samples.
[0132] Samples: ZnSn(OH)6 prepared in Comparative Example 1, SrTiO3 prepared in Comparative Example 2, TiO2 prepared in Comparative Example 3, and 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 catalyst.
[0133] Experimental process: First, the powder sample was ultrasonically dispersed in anhydrous ethanol for 30 minutes to achieve particle deagglomeration. Then, a micropipette was used to accurately drop the suspension onto a conductive silicon substrate (10×10mm) with a polished surface, and the suspension was allowed to stand in a clean drying oven to complete solvent evaporation. The entire test process was completed in a high vacuum chamber, and finally the three-dimensional topological information of the sample surface at the nanoscale was obtained. The SEM images of ZnSn(OH)6, SrTiO3, TiO2, and 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 photocatalysts were obtained, and the results are as follows: Figure 3 shown
[0134] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 (a) TiO2 appears as nanoparticles, while Figure 3 (b) SrTiO3 presents cubic particles with smooth surface and no obvious agglomeration. Figure 3 (c) Pure ZnSn(OH)6 presents a regular flake structure with a smooth surface and clear edges, indicating that its crystal growth is anisotropic. Figure 3 (d) shows that the surface of 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 is significantly roughened, and no independent particles of SrTiO3 or TiO2 are observed, indicating that the three form a uniform composite through heterogeneous structural growth. Furthermore, the introduction of SrTiO3 and TiO2 changes the interfacial energy distribution of the composite system, inhibiting the anisotropic growth of the single phase of ZnSn(OH)6, thereby causing morphological roughening. Therefore, the rough surface and porous structure can provide more active sites, enhance light absorption or catalytic performance, and the close contact of the three phases is conducive to the rapid separation of photogenerated carriers and improve photocatalytic efficiency.
[0135] Test 4
[0136] This study employed advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to systematically characterize the microstructural characteristics of the materials. Using a JEOL JEM-F200 instrument from Japan, ultra-high spatial resolution atomic-scale observations were achieved at an accelerating voltage of 200 kV. High-angle annular dark-field imaging was then employed, leveraging the atomic number contrast effect to clearly visualize the distribution of different elements within the material. Combined with an energy spectrum system for surface scanning analysis, this enabled quantitative characterization of elemental spatial distribution at the submicron scale.
[0137] Sample: 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 catalyst prepared in Example 1.
[0138] Experimental procedure: A uniformly dispersed nanoparticle suspension was obtained by ultrasonic-assisted ethanol dispersion method. The sample was precisely dropped onto a copper mesh substrate with an ultrathin carbon film using a micropipette, and after vacuum drying, a thin area suitable for high-resolution observation was formed. TEM and EDS images of the 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 photocatalyst were obtained, and the results are as Figure 4 shown.
[0139] See Figure 4 , and further reveals the fine structural characteristics of the material from TEM analysis Figure 4 (d-f). In the high-resolution image Figure 4 (e), the (101) lattice fringe of anatase TiO2 is 0.35 nm, and the lattice spacing of 0.27 nm corresponds to the (220) crystal plane of ZnSn(OH)6, confirming the successful composite of the two phases. Selected area electron diffraction Figure 4 (f) shows the characteristics of polycrystalline diffraction rings, which is consistent with the conclusion of the coexistence of the two phases in the XRD results. Element distribution mapping Figure 4 (g-j) shows that Ti and O elements are uniformly dispersed on ZnSn(OH)6, which highly coincides with the spatial distribution of Zn and Sn elements. It indicates that no obvious phase separation occurred during the composite process of ZnSn(OH)6. The uniform distribution of Zn, Sn, Ti, and O elements is shown, and no impurities are present. These results indicate that the ZnSn(OH)6 / TiO2 composite material was successfully synthesized.
[0140] Experiment 5
[0141] In this study, a Shimadzu / Kratos AXIS SUPRA+ type high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy system was used to analyze the components of each chemical state, and finally, a corresponding relationship model between the chemical state of elements and the coordination structure was established.
[0142] Sample: The catalyst of 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 prepared in Example 1.
[0143] Experimental procedure: To balance the signal-to-noise ratio and energy resolution with an energy of 100 eV, a scanning step of 0.1 eV was used to ensure the accurate analysis of spectral peak characteristics. The charge correction process strictly followed the surface analysis standard. The C1s characteristic peak of the carbon contamination layer adsorbed on the sample surface (binding energy 284.8 eV, corresponding to the C-C / C-H bonding state) was selected as the internal standard for compensation calibration, and ThermoAvantage professional analysis software was used for spectral analysis. XPS images of the 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 photocatalyst were obtained, and the results are as Figure 5 shown.
[0144] See Figure 5 , asFigure 5 As shown in Figure 5 (a), the XPS full-spectrum analysis shows that the main elements present in the material are Zn, Sn, Sr, Ti, and O, and no obvious impurity peaks are observed, indicating a high purity of the material. The high-resolution Zn 2p spectrum is shown in 3 / 2 and 1 / 2 , and the two peaks at 1021.8 eV and 1044.9 eV correspond to Zn 2p Figure 5 (c), the two peaks at 486.5 eV and 494.9 eV correspond to Sn 3d 5 / 2 and Sn 3d 3 / 2 , respectively, confirming that the Sn element exists in the +4 valence state. In addition, the high-resolution Sr 3d spectrum as shown in Figure 5 (d) shows two peaks at 133.4 eV and 135.2 eV, corresponding to Sr 3d 5 / 2 and Sr 3d 3 / 2 , respectively, indicating that the Sr element exists in the +2 valence state. The high-resolution Ti 2p spectrum as shown in Figure 5 (e) shows peaks at 458.6 eV and 464.3 eV corresponding to Ti 2p 3 / 2 and Ti 2p 1 / 2 , respectively, confirming that the Ti element exists in the +4 valence state. Finally, from Figure 5 (f), the peaks of the high-resolution O 1s spectrum at 529.8 eV and 531.5 eV are attributed to lattice oxygen and surface-adsorbed hydroxyl groups (-OH), respectively. The above results indicate that each element in the ZnSn(OH)6, SrTiO3, and TiO2 composite material exists in the expected chemical valence state, and no obvious impurity phases or chemical bond breakage phenomena are observed, further confirming the structural stability of the composite material. In addition, the presence of the hydroxyl peak in the O 1s spectrum indicates that the material surface has abundant active sites.
[0145] Experiment 6
[0146] As an important means to characterize the optical properties of semiconductor materials, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) was used in this study to test with a Shimadzu UV-3600Plus double-beam spectrometer.
[0147] Samples: The catalysts of ZnSn(OH)6 prepared in Comparative Example 1, SrTiO3 prepared in Comparative Example 2, TiO2 prepared in Comparative Example 3, / SrTiO3 / TiO2 prepared in Example 1, 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2, 10% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 prepared in Example 2, and 20% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2.
[0148] Experimental process: BaSO4 powder with standard whiteboard characteristics was used as a reference background. The diffuse reflectance spectrum data of the material was acquired by full-band scanning (200-1000nm). During the scanning process, a high-precision data acquisition interval of 2nm was set to ensure the resolution of the spectral characteristics.
[0149] For the quantitative analysis of semiconductor band gap, the functional relationship between photon energy and absorption coefficient is established in combination with the Tauc equation:
[0150] (αhv) 1 / n =A(hv-E g )
[0151] In this model, the exponent n is selected based on the intrinsic electronic transition mechanism of the material: when a direct transition occurs, n = 1 / 2, while an indirect transition process corresponds to n = 2. By fitting the experimental data to different n values in a linear segment and extrapolating the curve tangent to the abscissa intercept, the characteristic band gap value E of the material can be obtained. g The UV and band gap diagrams of ZnSn(OH)6, SrTiO3, TiO2, SrTiO3 / TiO2, 10% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2, 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 and 20% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 were obtained. The results are shown in Figure 6 shown.
[0152] See also Figure 6 The band gap of the composite material measured by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy is as follows Figure 6 (a) The band gaps of ZnSn(OH)6, SrTiO3, TiO2, 1:1 SrTiO3 / TiO2, and 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 were found to be 3.28 eV, 3.18 eV, 3.20 eV, 3.07 eV, and 2.86 eV, respectively, based on Tauc plot fitting. The band gap of the composite material dropped to 2.86 eV, broadening the light absorption range. This reduction in the band gap is primarily due to the band coupling effect between ZnSn(OH)6 and SrTiO3 / TiO2, which reduces the energy required for photogenerated electron transitions.
[0153] Test 7
[0154] In this study, a closed reaction system was used to conduct catalytic degradation experiments on gaseous toluene, and a gas chromatograph was used to achieve real-time monitoring of gas components during the reaction.
[0155] Samples: ZnSn(OH)6 prepared in Comparative Example 1, SrTiO3 prepared in Comparative Example 2, TiO2 prepared in Comparative Example 3, / SrTiO3 / TiO2 and 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 prepared in Example 1, 10% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 prepared in Example 2, and 20% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 catalysts.
[0156] Experimental process: 0.1g of photocatalyst was evenly dispersed in a quartz culture dish and placed in a 250mL sealed quartz reactor. After the system was sealed, 2μL of liquid toluene was injected and allowed to stand for 1 hour to reach gas-solid adsorption equilibrium. A 0.6μL gas sample was collected using a trace gas injection needle, and the initial concentrations of toluene and carbon dioxide were determined by gas chromatograph. During the experiment, a 300W xenon lamp light source was turned on, and then the gas composition was detected every 15 minutes to continuously monitor the concentration changes of toluene and its degradation product carbon dioxide in the reaction system. The performance analysis diagrams of ZnSn(OH)6, SrTiO3, TiO2, SrTiO3 / TiO2, 10% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2, 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 and 20% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 were obtained, and the results are shown as follows. Figure 7 shown.
[0157] The formulas for calculating the toluene degradation rate DR (Degradation rate) and mineralization rate MR (Mineralization rate) are as follows:
[0158] DR=(1-C / C0)×100%
[0159] MR = Δ[CO2] / (7×C0)×100%
[0160] In the above formula, C0 represents the initial concentration of toluene; C represents the toluene concentration at a certain moment; Δ[CO2] represents the concentration of carbon dioxide generated by the reaction.
[0161] See also Figure 7 Under simulated sunlight, the ternary composite system showed excellent pollutant degradation efficiency. Figure 7 As shown in (a), when the ZnSn(OH)6 loading is 15%, the system achieves a toluene degradation rate of 99.20% within 90 minutes, which is higher than that of pure SrTiO3 and TiO2. Figure 7 (b) The apparent rate constants of the catalysts are: 10% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 0.02501min -1and 0.04355 min for 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 -1 and 0.011892 min for 20% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 -1 , among which the 15% composite sample exhibits the optimal reaction kinetic characteristics. From the mineralization rate Figure 7 (c), it can be seen that while completing the degradation of toluene, it shows excellent mineralization ability, and the toluene mineralization rate reaches 98.56% within 90 min; indicating that the active species such as ·O 2- and ·OH formed at the heterojunction interface can effectively cut off the aromatic ring structure and achieve the deep mineralization of pollutants. Stability test Figure 7 (d) shows that 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 maintains excellent performance in five consecutive cycles, and the toluene degradation rate always remains at about 99.03%, confirming that the composite material has good cycle stability. The stability of the composite material is due to the effective charge transport channels formed at the heterojunction interface and the inhibitory effect of the composite structure on the recombination of photogenerated carriers.
[0162] Experiment 8
[0163] The test samples are the catalysts before and after the cycle of 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 prepared in Example 1.
[0164] By performing XRD and FT-IR tests on the photocatalyst before and after the cycle, the structural stability of the material is further illustrated. The XRD and FT-IR diagrams of 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 before and after the cycle are obtained, and the results are as Figure 8 shown.
[0165] The study on the structural stability of the 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 ternary composite catalyst after five toluene degradation cycles shows that its multiphase heterojunction system exhibits excellent synergistic stability. As shown in Figure 8 (a), in the XRD pattern, the intensity and position of the characteristic peaks of the anatase phase of ZnSn(OH)6, SrTiO3 and TiO2 do not show significant shifts after the cycle, and no impurity phase is detected. This indicates that no phase transformation occurs among the three during the repeated catalytic process, and the heterojunction interface structure remains intact. FT-IR spectrum Figure 8 (b) further shows that the peak shape and peak position of the material remain unchanged, proving that the chemical bonding states of the components in the composite system are stable, providing persistent and stable active sites for the catalytic reaction.
[0166] Experiment 9
[0167] In this study, a real-time monitoring system was constructed using the Thermo Fisher Nicoleti S50 in situ diffuse reflectance reaction cell. Time-resolved spectroscopy was used to capture the transient changes of adsorbed species on the catalyst surface, and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy was combined to reveal the co-evolution of functional group vibration peaks.
[0168] Sample: 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 catalyst prepared in Example 1.
[0169] Experimental process: In a photocatalytic system simulating a real environment, a visible light-driven system was constructed using a 300W xenon lamp light source coupled with a filter. The reaction gas was precisely controlled by a mass flow controller to form a toluene / dry air mixture (1:50 v / v), with a total flow rate of 30 ml / min, to form a stable adsorption layer on the catalyst surface. By comparing the characteristic peak shifts of the dark adsorption and light degradation processes, the preferential adsorption behavior of toluene molecules on the acid sites can be analyzed, and an in-situ infrared image of 15% ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 is obtained. The results are as follows: Figure 9 shown.
[0170] See also Figure 9 , at the initial stage of photoexcitation, 1600 cm -1 Benzene ring C=C skeleton vibration and 1450cm -1 The appearance of the characteristic peak of the in-plane bending of methyl CH confirms that toluene molecules form a chemical adsorption layer on the catalyst surface through π-π interaction. As the photocatalytic reaction continues, the peak at 1710 cm -1 Aldehyde C=O and 1380cm -1 The new vibration signal was detected at the carboxylic acid CO, indicating that the adsorbed toluene underwent a gradual oxidation process to generate primary oxidation products such as benzaldehyde and benzoic acid. It is worth noting that at 2345 cm -1 The CO2 asymmetric stretching vibration peak near 3400 cm-1 shows a linear growth trend in intensity. -1 The broadband characteristic peak of hydroxyl radical (·OH) was detected at 3510cm. The two synergistically confirmed the deep mineralization process of organic pollutants. Further analysis found that -1 The characteristic vibration of hydrogen bonded hydroxyl group at 1506cm -1 Ketone C=O, 1742cm -1 The infrared peaks are as follows: the formation and oxidation transformation pathway of benzyl alcohol intermediate is constructed: in ·OH and ·O 2- Under the continuous attack of , benzyl alcohol is dehydrogenated to form benzaldehyde, which is then oxidized to benzoic acid. -1Characteristic absorptions of short-chain organic acids were detected at 1700 cm-1 and 1526 cm-1, revealing the degradation intermediate states of small-molecule carboxylic acids such as oxalic acid and formic acid generated after the cleavage of the aromatic ring. Therefore, the degradation pathway of photocatalytic degradation of toluene by ZnSn(OH)6 / SrTiO3 / TiO2 was obtained: C6H5CH3 → C6H5CH2OH → C6H5CHO → C6H5COOH → HOOC-(CH2) n -COOH → CO2 + H2O, fully presenting the process of pollutant from surface adsorption, step-by-step oxidation to final mineralization.
[0171] The above experimental tests were carried out using the ternary composite catalysts prepared in Examples 1 to 3. When the preparation methods of Examples 4 to 8 were adopted, ternary composite catalysts with similar and close performance to those of Examples 1 to 3 could be obtained. And they were used for the efficient degradation and mineralization of toluene.
[0172] The above are several relatively preferred implementation manners of the preparation method of the present invention. However, it cannot be used as a limitation to the technical solutions protected by the present invention. Any substitution solutions obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the technical idea of the present invention without creative efforts should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
