Photoelectrochemical degradation of trichloroethylene by iron modified TiO2 nanotube arrays
Chemosphere(2022)
摘要
In this study, iron was deposited to titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (TNAs) by impregnation method to enhance its photocatalytic ability. The as-synthesized iron-modified TNAs (Fe-TNAs) was employed in a photo -electrochemical (PEC) system to degrade trichloroethylene (TCE). Results of AFE-SEM analysis showed that the iron nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully attached evenly to the nozzle of Fe-TNAs. Results of XRD analysis confirmed the findings of EDS and XPS, indicating the success of iron modification. The absorption wavelength of Fe-TNAs-27 mL red-shifts to 543 nm which corresponds to the band gap of 2.54 eV after iron modification. Mott-Schottky analysis yielded a donor density of 7.21 x 1020 and 2.30 x 1020/cm3 for TNAs and Fe-TNAs-27 mL, respectively. The photo-generated electrons had a lifetime (tau el) of 21.49 and 39.19 ms for TNAs and Fe-TNAs-27 mL, respectively, illustrating the reduce of recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. process. PEC methods performed the most effective way to degrade TCE with a rate constant of 0.079 min-1 in Fe-TNAs PEC system. Mechanism of Fe-TNAs PEC system was proposed in detail.
