doi:10.7503/cjcu20140003

Abstract

Abstract:

An efficient sunlight responsive Ag₂S/Ag₃PO₄ composite was prepared by co-precipitation method combined with hydrothermal treatment. The morphology, composition, surface physical and chemical property and optical absorption property were characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray powder diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection(UV-Vis DR). The 1%Ag₂S/Ag₃PO₄ composite has rough surface with smaller particle size less than 0.8 μm and wider bandgap(2.24 eV) compared to Ag₃PO₄. The photocatalytic activity of Ag₂S/Ag₃PO₄ was evaluated by degradation of salicylic acid which is a typical material in pharmaceuticals and personal care products(PPCPs) and harmful to human health and ecosystems. The results show that Ag₂S/Ag₃PO₄ composite doped 1%Ag₂S with hydrothermal treated at 120 ℃ for 4 h exhibits excellent salicylic acid degradation efficiency reached to 88.2% under simulated sunlight irradiation for 60 min and the light source current intensity is 15 A, when Ag₂S/Ag₃PO₄ used 0.15 g, the initial concentration of salicylic acid is 10 mg/L and pH is 6.0, respectively. The contribution of various parameters for the enhanced photocatalytic activities is revealed in detail. The primary reasons for the increased simulated sunlight photocatalyst activity are contribution to the perfect cubic crystal structure, smaller particle size and broaden the visible spectral response. Doping sulfide is benefit to absorb sunlight and separate the electron-hole effectively.
