The micron-sized Sr2(P2OT):Ce,Tb green phosphors were prepared by being annealed at different temperatures with its precursors synthesized by co-pre-cipitates of (NH4)2HPO4 at ambient temperature. The phase structure, grain size, surface morphology, and luminescent properties of phosphors were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, trans-mission electron microscope, and fluorescence spectrum. The results show that the product of precursor annealed at 1,100 ℃ is Sr2(P2O7):Ce,Tb, which belongs to ortho-rhombic phase. The powder is spherical and the size dis-tribution is in micron grade. The sample with the molar ratio of Sr/Tb/Ce of 100.0:0.4:0.6 shows the best fluores-cence effect annealed at 1,100 ℃ for 3 h. The phosphors produce green fluorescence by being excitated with ultra-violet radiation of 254 nm wavelength, and the main emission peak is at 547 nm. The Sr2(P2O7):Ce,Tb phos-phors synthesized by co-precipitation method of precursors at ambient temperature is a kind of efficient green-emitting phosphors.
In this study, CdS/g-C3N4 (CSCN) heterojunctions were in situ fabricated with a large amount of CdS nanoparticles anchored on g-C3N4 nanosheets, A wet chemical method was developed for the first time to determine the actual content of CdS in CSCN composites. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FFIR), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) were employed to characterize the composition, structure and optical prop- erty of CSCN composites. Based on the is0electric point (liP) analysis of g-C3N4, a conclusion was obtained on the combination mechanism between CdS nanoparticles and g-C3N4 nanosheets. The photocatalytic activity of CSCN composites was much better than those of individual CdS and g-C3N4 for the degrada- tion of azo dye Methyl Orange (MO) by 40 min adsorption in the dark followed by 15 min photocatalysis under visible light irradiation. After 5 cycles, CSCN composites still maintained high reactive activity with the MO degradation efficiency of 93.8%, exhibiting good photocatalytic stability. The Cd2~ concentration dissolved in the supernatant detected by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) of CSCN composites was lower than that of pure CdS, implying that the photocorrosion of CdS could be suppressed via the combination with g-C3N4. Photoluminescence emission spectra (PL) results clearly revealed that the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs in CSCN composites was effectively inhibited due to the formation of heterojunctions. Based on the band alignments of g-C3N4 and CdS, the possible photocatalvtic mechnism was discussed.
为了提高TiO2光阳极的电子传输速率,在TiO2中负载了多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)。采用溶胶–凝胶水热法制备了TiO2/MWCNTs复合溶胶,利用电流体动力学方法制备了均匀的TiO2/MWCNTs复合薄膜,并用TiCl4对薄膜进行了优化。用扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、X射线衍射仪和紫外可见吸收光谱仪对样品进行了表征分析。利用电化学阻抗谱和电流密度–电压曲线分析了基于TiO2/MWCNTs复合光阳极和SnO2/MWCNTs对电极的染料敏化太阳能电池(DSSC)的光电性能。结果表明,MWCNTs的加入极大地加速了电子在薄膜中的传输,减少了电子与氧化态染料和I3–的复合;基于CNT-0.12(质量分数0.12%)复合光阳极的DSSC性能最佳(VOC=0.70 V,JSC=13.0 m A/cm2,ηFF=0.64,η=5.80%),与基于纯TiO2光阳极的DSSC(η=4.44%)相比,能量转换效率提高了30.6%。
