微波水热法合成花状纳米ZnO及其光催化活性(英文)

Microwave-hydrothermal preparation of flower-like ZnO microstructure and its photocatalytic activity

使用氯化锌和精氨酸作为反应物,通过简单的微波水热技术制备花状纳米氧化锌。利用X射线衍射(XRD)和扫描电镜(SEM)对所合成的纳米氧化锌进行晶体结构和形貌的表征。通过拉曼光谱和光致发光(PL)光谱对纳米氧化锌的光学性能进行研究,证实了合成物为高结晶度的纳米氧化锌。在紫外光辐射下,合成的ZnO光催化降解亚甲基蓝(MB)有较好的效果,紫外光催化2h后亚甲基蓝的降解率达到95.60%。ZnO光催化降解亚甲基蓝可以描叙为一级动力学反应,降解速率常数在1.0675～1.6275h-1的范围中,这与所合成的ZnO形貌有关。

The flower-like ZnO microstructure was prepared by a straightforward microwave-hydrothermal technique using zinc chloride and arginine solution as reactants. The as-synthesized crystal structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and the optical properties of the ZnO nanostructure were studied by Raman and photoluminescence （PL） spectra, which confirms the high crystal quality of ZnO microstructure. The as-synthesized ZnO flowers exhibit a significant enhancement of photocatalytic capability toward degrading methyl blue （MB） under UV light, the photodegradation of MB reaches 95.60%, only within 2 h of adding the as-synthesized ZnO in the MB solution under UV irradiation. Furthermore, the photodegradation could be described as the pseudo-first-order kinetics with degradation rate constant of 1.0675-1.6275 h-1, which is relative to the morphology of the structures.
