以葡萄糖为模板、聚乙二醇(PEG-4000)为分散剂通过一步水热法所得前驱体,经600℃焙烧4 h 得到CuO/Al2O3光催化剂,并对样品进行 XRD、SEM、TEM、BET、TG/DTA和 XPS 等表征分析。在模拟太阳光照射下,以甲基橙溶液的光催化降解考察样品的光催化活性,研究焙烧温度、添加PEG-4000对样品光催化活性的影响。结果表明:PEG-4000的添加对产物的晶相和比表面积有一定影响;当焙烧温度600℃,加入10%PEG-4000到前驱体CuO/Al2O3中时,光催化活性最佳;光照60 min后,0.5 g/L光催化剂用量对甲基橙的脱色率达96.7%,与未加PEG-4000的样品比较,相同条件下对甲基橙的脱色率提高6.5%。
CuO/Al2O3 photocatalysts were prepared via one-pot hydrothermal process using glucose as template and polyethylene glycol (PEG-4000) as dispersion agent after calcination at 600℃for 4 h. The as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, TG/DTA and XPS. The effect of PEG-4000 on crystallite phase and BET was observed. The photocatalytic activities of the as-obtained samples were evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange (MO) solution under simulated sunlight irradiation. The effects of calcination temperature and addition of PEG-4000 on the photocatalytic activity were investigated. The results show that the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency is observed when adding 10% (mass fraction) PEG-4000 into CuO/Al2O3 in the starting materials and calcination temperature of 600℃. The maximum photocatalytic decoloration rate of MO is 96.7% within 60 min at photocatalyst concentration of 0.5 g/L, which increases by 6.5% compared to that of the sample without PEG-4000 under the same conditions.
