Ag NPS/g-C_3N_4纳米复合材料制备及其SERS纳米传感器（英文）

通过化学氧化块状石墨型氮化碳(g-C_3N_4),获得在水中分散性好的片状g-C_3N_4。XRD,FTIR和XPS表明,所得片状g-C_3N_4含有氧官能团。这不仅可以作为锚定点负载纳米银粒子(Ag NPs),而且可以获得Ag NPs均匀分散的Ag NPS/g-C_3N_4纳米复合物。制备的复合材料中银纳米颗粒的重量百分比也会随着硝酸银与片状g-C_3N_4的质量变化而发生变化。基于g-C_3N_4对Co^(2+)的明显的拉曼强度响应,Ag NPS/gC3N4纳米复合物作为表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)传感器检测Co^(2+)。通过拉曼强度的对照,发现随着Co^(2+)浓度的增加,拉曼信号增加;而含有73%银纳米颗粒的Ag NPS/g-C_3N_4纳米复合物有高的灵敏性,检测极限浓度达到10^(-9) mol·L^(-1);复合材料同时显示出高的选择性,对其他如Cd^(2+),Cu^(2+)和Zn^(2+)的金属离子没有明显的拉曼增强信号。分析了复合材料对Co^(2+)的增强机制。由于Co^(2+)与g-C_3N_4中的N-/-NH-基团的耦合,引发复合材料中Ag NPs聚集,从而产生局部电磁场,进而产生表面增强效应。可以预知,Ag NPS/g-C_3N_4纳米复合物将作为一种用于制造SERS传感器的新的理想材料。

Thermo-responsive functionalized PNIPAM@Ag/Ag3PO4/CN-heterostructure photocatalyst with switchable photocatalytic activity

It is extremely important for photocatalysts to exhibit intelligent responsiveness to their environment. Herein, a poly N-isopropyl acrylamide(PNIPAM)-modified Ag/Ag3PO4-20/CN hybrid material with excellent convertible photocatalytic activity is prepared. PNIPAM has good hydrophilicity below the lower critical solution temperature(LCST);this increases the capacity of the photocatalyst for adsorbing tetracycline(TC) molecules. In addition, the PNIPAM-modified Ag/Ag3PO4-20/CN can prevent the loss of Ag3PO4. The dispersity is improved by loading g-C3N4 nanosheets(CN) for enhancing the efficiency of photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, a Z-scheme heterostructure is formed between CN and Ag3PO4, accelerating the separation efficiency of the holes and electrons. Ag nanoparticles can be used as electron-shuttle mediators, and electrons receiving more energy are transferred via the localized surface plasmon resonance(LSPR) effect. Furthermore, the PNIPAM@Ag/Ag3PO4-20/CN photocatalyst exhibits an excellent degradation rate for the degradation of TC when the temperature is lower than the LCST. The photoluminescence spectra and photocurrent curves prove that the carrier-separation efficiency of PNIPAM@Ag/Ag3PO4-20/CN is higher than those of Ag/Ag3PO4/CN and CN. The main active species of ·O2-and h+ are detected to reveal the plausible mechanism of the PNIPAM@Ag/Ag3PO4-20/CN hybrid material system. This work provides a way to develop intelligent materials for switchable photocatalytic applications.
