采用间歇超声法制得水体稳定分散的羟基化多壁碳纳米管(MWNT-OH)和羧基化多壁碳纳米管(MWNT-COOH)悬浮液,并考察了它们在氙灯光照下产生活性氧(ROS)的能力.分别以呋喃醇和对氯苯甲酸为鉴定单重态氧(1O2)和羟基自由基(.OH)的分子探针,测得浓度为mgC.L-1级的碳纳米管悬浮液在模拟阳光辐射下生成1O2和.OH的稳态浓度分别可达10-14mol.L-1和10-15mol.L-1.MWNT-OH和MWNT-COOH生成1O2能力接近,但MWNT-OH光致产生.OH能力高于MWNT-COOH.增加碳纳米管浓度(0.8—8 mgC.L-1)可以提高光致活性氧的稳态浓度.
Stable aqueous suspensions of hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-OH) and carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-COOH) were prepared in deionized water via intermittent sonication. Light-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by MWNT-OH and MWNT-COOH were examined under simulated solar irradiation using a 1000 W Xenon lamp. During 30 h light exposure, steady-state concentrations of 102 and ~ OH were determined at the level of 10 - 14 mol- L- 1 and 10 - 15 mol- L- 1 in the mgC. L-1 suspensions of these two fnnctionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (FMWNTs). Furfuryl alcohol and p-chlorobenzoic acid were used as molecular probes of 102 and · OH, respectively. The results showed that MWNT-OH and MWNT-COOH had similar capacity of producing 1O2 while MWNT-OH generated more ~ OH than MWNT-COOH. Increasing concentrations of FMWNTs promoted the production of ROS.
