A novel kind of hollow SiO2@g-C3N4@TiO2 microspheres for rapid removal of dyes and antibiotics in water under sunlight
Source abstract
Abstract
In this paper, using PVP-modified polystyrene microspheres as template, tetrabutyl titanate (TEOT), tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and melamine as precursor, we developed a facile one-pot two-step method to preparing a novel kind of mesoporous hollow SiO 2@TiO 2@g-C 3N 4 ternary composite microspheres with plush surface, in which highly active black titanium dioxide (TiO 2) was formed by simple calcination without further chemical reduction treatment. The structure and morphology of the composite microspheres were detailed characterized for understanding the formation mechanism. Research results indicated that the hollow SiO 2 microspheres can promote the formation of oxygen vacancies in TiO 2, and the ternary combination narrowed the bandgap width of the black hollow composite microspheres to 1.43 eV, thus endowing it with excellent broad-spectrum catalytic performance for rapid photo-degradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as dyes and antibiotics in water under sunlight. The removal rates of dyes reached more than 70 %, as well as that of antibiotics more than 50 % within one hour. Finally, a plausible catalytic degradation mechanism was discussed.
