Background
In the process of textile printing and dyeing, a large amount of assistants which pollute the environment and are harmful to human bodies are used, and most of the assistants are discharged in a liquid form and inevitably enter a water body environment to cause water body pollution. For example, rhodamine B dye has carcinogenicity and mutagenicity, and rhodamine B-containing wastewater has deep chromaticity, high organic pollutant content and poor biodegradability, and is difficult to treat by conventional methods such as physical adsorption method, Fenton method and the like, so that the polluted water quality deteriorates for a long time, and the water environment and human health are seriously harmed, therefore, the degradation treatment of the wastewater is very important and urgent.
However, how to use clean energy efficiently and at low cost is still a great challenge and has profound significance. Therefore, people urgently need to develop and utilize new energy sources with environmental protection and high energy storage capacity, such as solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, biological energy, hydrogen energy, ocean energy and the like, can economically and effectively replace fossil and mineral resources, and realize effective conversion of the energy sources without influencing normal life of people on the premise of protecting the environment and human health. In recent years, a large number of novel environment-friendly materials are produced at the same time. Nano TiO 22The material is the green functional material which can purify the environment and efficiently utilize the solar energy. It not only has oxidationThe photocatalyst has the advantages of strong capacity, excellent chemical stability, energy consumption, no subsequent secondary pollution and the like, and has the characteristics of low price, no toxicity, no harm, long-term use and the like, so the photocatalyst is favored and paid attention to by photocatalytic scientific research workers in recent years, and is widely applied to the new energy fields such as dye-sensitized solar cells, photolysis water hydrogen production, microwave adsorption, light adsorption, biological medicine treatment, photovoltaic cells, photocatalysis, lithium ion batteries and the like.
But semi-conducting TiO2The materials also have some serious disadvantages, such as pure TiO2The photocatalyst has short life of photo-generated electron-hole pairs, narrow light absorption range and low light conversion efficiency, and limits the application of the solid powder catalyst. Therefore, the morphology of the nano titanium dioxide needs to be modified and researched, and the improvement of the sunlight absorption efficiency of the nano titanium dioxide is urgent. Therefore, more and more attention is paid to the rational utilization of solar energy and semiconductor oxide to prepare hydrogen energy and effectively control the environment.
The discovery of TiO of solar photovoltaic cells under ultraviolet irradiation by Japanese scientists Fujishima and Honda since 19722Since the interesting phenomenon of water photolysis occurs in the electrode, researchers invest a great deal of effort to research TiO nearly half a century2The modification, exposition and analysis of the catalytic mechanism of the compound are carried out, and with the continuous and deep research, the photocatalytic reaction mechanism is more clear and clearer, and the modification relates to TiO2The research of (1) is focused quickly, and various progress is made in various aspects, but the research is still in the theoretical research stage of a laboratory on the whole, and has a great distance from the industrial application, so as to effectively improve the TiO2The catalytic activity of the catalyst is improved by changing the internal crystal structure and the external surface composition and property of the catalyst by the methods of compounding a narrow-band-gap semiconductor with the narrow-band-gap semiconductor, doping metal non-metal ions, depositing noble metal, photosensitizing the surface and the like, so that the band gap distance of the catalyst is reduced, the absorption capacity of the catalyst on visible light is improved, and the TiO is enhanced2The purpose of the photocatalytic performance.
In recent years, Mao et al adopted a breakthrough hydrogenation method to prepareA disordered nano TiO2TiO prepared by the method2The energy gap of the photocatalyst is only 1.54eV, and the photocatalyst has excellent visible light absorption performance and hydrogen production performance by water photolysis, but the photocatalyst is modified by doping, and the photocatalyst is used for degrading organic pollutants in water and related degradation processes, so that no systematic research is carried out.
