Description

Visible light-responded photocatalyst Li 4sm 2niTiO 8and preparation method thereof

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of visible light-responded photocatalyst Li ₄sm ₂niTiO ₈and preparation method thereof, belong to inorganic field of photocatalytic material.

Background technology

Along with socioeconomic development, people more and more pay close attention to for the energy and ecological environment, solve energy shortage and problem of environmental pollution be realize sustainable development, improve people's living standard and safeguard national security in the urgent need to.

From phase late 1970s, there has been proposed and to utilize in photochemical catalyst decomposition water and the organic matter such as agricultural chemicals in air and odorant, and scribble the application example such as self-cleaning of the surface of solids of photochemical catalyst.The principle of light-catalyzed reaction is that photochemical catalyst is after absorbing the photon higher than its band-gap energy, generate hole and electronics, these holes and electronics carry out oxidation reaction and reduction reaction respectively, reach the object of decomposing harmful chemical, organic-biological matter and sterilization.Photochemical catalyst has many kinds, and wherein most representative is titanium dioxide (TiO ₂), titanium dioxide has been utilized to decompose organic matters such as the agricultural chemicals in water and in air and odorants, but the band gap of titanium dioxide is 3.2eV, only under the ultraviolet irradiation shorter than 400nm, just activity can be shown, can only at indoor or the local work having uviol lamp, almost can not utilize visible ray, this limits the use of titanium dioxide optical catalyst greatly.

Consider the practicality of photochemical catalyst in decomposing harmful substances, utilize sunshine to be indispensable as light source.Irradiate maximum to sunshine medium wavelength intensity of visible ray near 500nm on earth's surface, wavelength is the energy of the visible region of 400nm ~ 750nm is approximately 43% of sunshine gross energy, so in order to efficient utilization, the R and D of bismuth series photocatalyst have achieved a series of great achievement, and bismuthous compound is as BiVO ₄, Bi ₂moO ₆, Bi ₂mo ₂o ₉, Bi ₂mo ₃o ₁₂and Bi ₂wO ₄be in the news and there is good absorption under visible light.A series of niobium (tantalum) hydrochlorate photochemical catalyst is widely studied owing to having higher photocatalytic activity.Such as, niobate photocatalyst Pb ₃nb ₄o ₁₃, BiNbO ₄and Bi ₂mNbO ₇(M=Al, Ga, In, Y, rare earth element and Fe) etc. with niobium potassium compound oxide photocatalyst as KNbO ₃, KNb ₃o ₈, K ₄nb ₆o ₁₇and K ₆nb _10.6o ₃₀deng all, there is good photocatalysis performance, but its intrinsic photocatalytic effect is very weak or do not have activity in visible-range.

Although photocatalysis research has carried out the several years, the current exploration to visible light-responded photochemical catalyst is the summary of experience drawn by great many of experiments with exploitation major part, in theory also cannot from the crystal structure of compound, composition, the physicochemical properties such as molecular weight are predicted its photocatalysis performance, therefore at present report to have visible light-responded photochemical catalyst kind still very limited, and it is low to there is light conversion efficiency, synthesis difficulty, poor stability and the problem such as spectral response range is narrow, research and develop that new preparation method is simple and to have the visible light-responded high efficiency photocatalyst of wideband be that this area scientific and technical personnel thirst for solving always but are difficult to the difficult problem that succeeds all the time, which greatly limits extensive use and the development of photochemical catalyst.We are to consisting of Li ₄sm ₂niTiO ₈, Li ₄nd ₂niTiO ₈and Li ₄la ₂niTiO ₈sample carried out Photocatalytic Performance Study.Found that Li ₄sm ₂niTiO ₈band gap width is 2.59eV, has excellent visible light-responded photocatalysis performance; Li ₄nd ₂niTiO ₈and Li ₄la ₂niTiO ₈for insulator, under ultraviolet irradiation, also do not show activity.
