Construction of TiO_(2)-covalent organic framework Z-Scheme hybrid through coordination bond for photocatalytic CO_(2) conversion

In this work,a covalent organic framework(COF),which is constructed by the building blocks of[5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphinato]copper(Ⅱ)(CuTAPP)and p-benzaldehyde,is employed to integrate with TiO_(2) for the purpose of establishing a Z-scheme hybrid.Within the system,isonicotinic acid performs the role of a bridge that connects the two components through a coordination bond.Further photocatalytic application reveals the hybrid framework is able to catalyze CO_(2) conversion under simulated solar light,resulting in CO production rate of 50.5 μmol g^(-1)·h^(-1),about 9.9 and 24.5 times that of COF and pristine TiO_(2),respectively.The ameliorated catalytic performance owes much to the por-phyrin block acting as photosensitizer that augments the light absorbance,and the establishment of Z-scheme system between the inorganic and orga nic comp on ents that enhances the separati on of the carriers.In addition,the chemical bridge also ensures a steady usage and stable charge delivery in the catalysis.Our study sheds light on the development of versatile approaches to covalently in corporate COFs with inorga nic semic on ductors.

Construction of ternary CuO/CuFe_(2)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4)composite and its enhanced photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride with persulfate under simulated sunlight

In this study,a graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4))based ternary catalyst Cu O/Cu Fe_(2)O_(4)/gC_(3)N_(4)(CCCN)is successfully prepared thorough calcination method.After confirming the structure and composition of CCCN,the as-synthesized composites are utilized to activate persulfate(PS)for the degradation of organic contaminant.While using tetracycline hydrochloride(TC)as pollutant surrogate,the effects of initial p H,PS and catalyst concentration on the degradation rate are systematically studied.Under the optimized reaction condition,CCCN/PS is able to give 99%degradation extent and 74%chemical oxygen demand removal in assistance of simulated solar light,both of which are apparently greater than that of either Cu O/Cu Fe_(2)O_(4)and pristine g-C_(3)N_(4).The great improvement in degradation can be assignable to the effective separation of photoinduced carriers thanks to the integration between Cu O/Cu Fe_(2)O_(4)and g-C_(3)N_(4),as well as the increased reaction sites given by the g-C_(3)N_(4)substrate.Moreover,the scavenging trials imply that the major oxidative matters involved in the decomposition are hydroxyl radicals(·OH),superoxide radicals(·O_(2)^(-))and photo-induced holes(h^(+)).
