Oxygen vacancies modified TiO2/Ti3C2 derived from MXenes for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants: The crucial role of oxygen vacancy to schottky junction

Abstract

Abstract Photocatalysis is outstanding for contaminants removal. However, the rapid recombination of photoinduced electron-holes generally restricts its photocatalytic performance. Herein, a novel oxygen vacancies (OVs) modified TiO2 (TiO2−x)/Ti3C2 (A-TOTC) photocatalyst was synthesized, in which TiO2−x nanoparticles were in situ grown on Ti3C2 (MXenes) to construct schottky junction for improving the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers. Different annealing duration was applied to control the content of OVs in TiO2 for investigating its role on the photocatalytic performance of A-TOTC. The introduction of OVs dramatically improve the photocatalytic ability of A-TOTC, and the kinetic constant of bisphenol A (BPA) degradation of A-TOTC with optimal oxygen vacancy content was nearly 5.1 and 4.0 times higher than that of TiO2/Ti3C2 and TiO2−x, respectively. The hydroxyl radicals ( OH) and superoxide radical ( O2−) were the main active substances. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of A-TOTC arises from the decreased of schottky barrier caused by OVs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
