摘要:

通过热水解法成功制备出了形貌均一的ZnO/In2O3异质结光催化材料, 采用场发射扫描电子显微镜(FESEM)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)以及透射电子显微镜(TEM)对样品的形貌及结构进行表征。结果表明: ZnO/In2O3异质结是由直径约200~300 nm、厚度约40~60 nm的六边形纳米片镶嵌着In2O3纳米小颗粒组成。对比纯ZnO、纯In2O3和该光催化材料对罗丹明B(RhB)的可见光降解效率, 发现ZnO/In2O3异质结光催化材料对RhB具有较高的光催化效率, 其原因是窄带系半导体In2O3能够有效地吸收可见光, 当ZnO与In2O3 形成异质结时, In2O3能带上被可见光激发的电子会迁移到ZnO的导带上, 而光激发的空穴仍保留在In2O3价带, 这样有助于光生电子和空穴的分离, 降低其复合几率, 从而有效地提高了ZnO的光催化效率。

Abstract:

Homogeneous ZnO/In2O3 heteronanostructure photocatalytic materials were successfully synthesized by a pyrohydrolytic method. The structures and morphologies of ZnO/In2O3 heterostructure were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results indicate that ZnO/In2O3 heterostructures consist of hexagon nanosheet ZnO with diameter of about 200-300 nm and thickness of 40-60 nm decorated with In2O3 nanoparticles. Compared with the degradation efficiency of RhB by pure ZnO, pure In2O3 and ZnO/In2O3, the results show that ZnO/In2O3 heterostructure photocatalysts possess higher photocatalytic efficiency. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is mainly attributed to the role of narrow-band semiconductor In2O3, which could effectively absorb visible light. Photo-excited electrons of In2O3’senergy band remove to conduction band of ZnO, while photo-excited holes still remain in In2O3’s valence band, which contributes to the separation of photo-generated electrons and holes, decreases recombination probability, and thus improves the photocatalytic efficiency.

Key words: ZnO, ZnO/In2O3, RhB, photocatalytic efficiency
