The invention discloses a method for in-situ construction of a Co (OH) 2 / Co3O4
heterojunction material through hydrothermal temperature regulation and control and application of the Co (OH) 2 / Co3O4
heterojunction material in indoor
formaldehyde purification, belongs to the technical crossing field of material preparation and
volatile organic compound purification, and aims at solving the problems that an existing
cobalt-based photocatalytic material is complex in preparation process, insufficient in catalytic performance and poor in stability.
Phase change from Co (OH) 2 to Co3O4 and
heterojunction in-situ construction are achieved through single hydrothermal temperature variable regulation and control, specifically, a precursor suspension is subjected to a
hydrothermal reaction for 48 h at 410-470 K, the Co (OH) 2 / Co3O4 composite heterojunction material with the controllable surface hydroxyl content is obtained, the heterojunction can enhance the visible light
absorption capacity of the material, separation and migration of photo-induced electrons and holes are effectively promoted, and the visible light
absorption capacity of the material is improved. Therefore, the
photocatalytic reaction efficiency is obviously improved; wherein a CC150 sample (Co (OH) 2 is a main phase) prepared by 423K has a degradation rate of 99.15% and a mineralization rate of 99.59% for 200ppm
formaldehyde within 11min under visible light, the activity is not attenuated after
continuous operation for 6.5 h, and the CC150 sample has broad-spectrum degradation capability for
toluene,
benzene and the like. The method is simple in process, low in cost, excellent in material performance and high in stability, can be widely applied to indoor
formaldehyde treatment, has important application prospects in the aspects of decoration
pollution treatment and
indoor air quality improvement, and has extremely high practical value.
