2D/1D ZnIn2S4/attapulgite hybrid materials for enhanced photocatalytic performance under visible light
Source abstract
Abstract
The 2D/1D structure of ZnIn 2S 4/attapulgite was constructed by anchoring ZnIn 2S 4 nanosheets on the surface of attapulgite nanorods for the removal of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) and rhodamine B (RhB). The 2D ZnIn 2S 4 was closely combined with the 1D attapulgite, and ZnIn 2S 4 /attapulgite had a higher BET surface area (83.6 m 2 /g) than pure ZnIn 2S 4 (13.6 m 2/g). The combination of ZnIn 2S 4 and attapulgite promoted pollutant adsorption by providing more exposed active sites and a larger contact area, which also contributed to enhanced photocatalytic performance. Under visible light irradiation, the as-prepared ZnIn 2S 4 /attapulgite composites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity when compared with pure ZnIn 2S 4. After 9 min (50 min) of irradiation, the optimized ZnIn 2S 4 /attapulgite photocatalyst removed about 99.9% RhB (82.1% TC). In addition, the ZnIn 2S 4 /attapulgite photocatalyst demonstrated excellent photostability and availability. Compared with other photocatalysts, the samples in this work used natural minerals as the carrier, which significantly improved the dispersibility and adsorption performance of the catalyst, and was conducive to the improvement of catalytic performance. This work contributed to the development of photocatalysis for the removal of environmental liquid-phase pollutants.
