Reactive Radical Species in Photocatalytic Activities of PET-Ag-TiO2 Nanoparticles Composites Under Visible Light Irradiation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this research, the reactive radical species in photocatalytic activities of a composite photocatalyst made fromPET filaments loaded with Ag-TiO2 nanoparticles under visible light irradiation, in comparison with those of as-modifiedAg-TiO2 nanoparticles, were reported and its photocatalytic mechanism was investigated. The PET filaments were modifiedby using tetrabutyl titanate as the TiO2 precursor and silver nitrate as the dopant in a hydrothermal process. The Ag decoratedTiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized and deposited on the surfaces of PET filaments in the hydrothermal process at 120 oCfor 180 min. The morphology, phase structure, chemical binding state, and optical properties of the PET-Ag-TiO2nanoparticles composites were systemically studied by means of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-raydiffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence (PL)spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) techniques. Thephotocatalytic activities of the PET-Ag-TiO2 nanoparticles composites were evaluated in the photodegradation of bothmethylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) dyes under visible light irradiation. It was found that, unlike in the asobtainedTiO2 nanoparticles and Ag decorated TiO2 nanoparticles, the photoinduced holes (h+) were the major reactiveradical species in both PET-Ag-TiO2 composite photocatalyst and the PET filaments loaded with TiO2 nanoparticles in theMB photodegradation process. The experimental results also indicated that the PET-Ag-TiO2 nanoparticles composites led tothe improvement of the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The enhanced photocatalytic activity ofthe PET filaments coated with Ag decorated TiO2 nanoparticles was ascribed to both the incorporation of Ag nanoparticlesinto TiO2 nanoparticles and the possible infiltration of Ag/Ti nanoparticles into PET polymers. In addition, the wavelengthand intensity of monochromatic light had great influences on the photodegradation rate of dye used, which was closelycorrelated with the maximum absorption wavelength of the dye to be degraded.
