摘要
In this work,we developed a promising photocatalyst in CsPbBr_(3) quantum dots(QDs)because of their exceptional optoelectronic characteristics.However,QDs applications in the field of photocatalysis were mainly hampered by their poor stability and insufficient charge transfer efficiency.Herein,a novel and efficient MnSnO_(2)@CsPbBr_(3)(MSO@QDs)nanocomposite was first time effectively designed and synthe-sized by a wet impregnation method for peroxymonosulfate(PMS)activation under the light.The newly generated interface phase of QDs between MnSnO_(2)(MSO)showed great potential to improve light ab-sorption,leading to effective separation and transfer of photoelectron-hole pairs.This novel nanocompos-ite MSO@QDs showed great Flurbiprofen(FL)removal efficiency under the PMS/Light system.It should be noted that this nanocomposite removed 85.74%of FL in just 70 min,which was almost 1.11 and 2.51 times greater than using pure QDs and pure MSO,respectively.Based on thorough measurements of structural analysis,Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET),UV-vis spectra,electrochemical impedance spec-troscopy(EIS),transient photocurrent response,and a potential mechanism for organic pollutants degra-dation over MSO@QDs nanocomposite was envisioned.The principal reactive species of photoinduced holes(h^(+)),i.e.O_(2)^(˙−),SO_(4)^(˙−),^(˙)OH,and non-radical(^(1)O_(2))were characterized via scavengers’technique and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)measurements.The highest photocatalytic performance for the re-moval of MO,MB,and IBU was demonstrated by MSO@QDs nanocomposite/PMS,revealing their excellent ability to remove organic pollutants through photo-oxidation.Furthermore,the developed nanocompos-ite exhibited good stability in an aqueous medium.According to computational investigation using the density functional theory(DFT)method,the site’s higher Fukui index f^(0) value corresponds to a greater propensity to be attacked by reactive species.This work offers a fresh perspective on developing further high-efficiency,low-cost photocatalysts for wastewater treatment.
