Abstract:

The aim of this study was to prepare a novel visible-light-driven photocatalysts AgX/TiO2/CNFs(X=Br, I) composites. Carbon nanofibers(CNFs) which acted as a supporter were prepared via electrospinning technology and high-temperature calcination process. AgX-TiO2/CNFs(X=Br, I) composites were prepared by combining solvothermal with chemical reaction process. The as-prepared composites were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). The photocatalytic activity of AgX-TiO2/CNFs(X=Br, I) were researched for decomposition of methyl orange(MO) under visible light irradiation. The excellent performance were attributed to the synergistic effects between the high adsorption capacity, good conductivity of carbon nanofibers, and the extraordinary plasma effect of AgX(X=Br, I) nanoparticles. In addition, the as-prepared composites could be easily separated from the solution phase due to the large length-diameter ratio of CNFs.
