Photocorrosion Inhibition and Photoactivity Enhancement for Zinc Oxide via Hybridization with Monolayer Polyaniline

Zhang, Hao, Zong, Ruilong, Zhu, Yongfa·2009·The Journal of Physical Chemistry C

Abstract

Monomolecular-layer polyaniline (PANI) was dispersed on the surface of zinc oxide (ZnO) and formed the hybrid effect between ZnO and PANI. The hybrid photocatalysts showed dramatic photocatalytic activity for the degradation of the methylene blue (MB) both under ultraviolet and visible light irradiation, and the photocorrosion of ZnO was successfully inhibited. The enhanced photocatalytic activity for PANI-hybridized ZnO originated from the high separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes on the interface of PANI and ZnO, which was produced by the hybrid effect of PANI and ZnO. The photocorrosion inhibition of ZnO could be attributed to the rapidly transferring of photogenerated holes by the PANI monolayer. The relationship between the PANI content of the samples and their photocatalytic performance shows that an optimal PANI weight percent (1.0%) can significantly enhance the photocatalytic efficiency and anticorrosion of ZnO particles. In particular, the mechanisms on the enhancement of photocatalytic activity and antiphotocorrosion performance have been emphasized. Under ultraviolet light irradiation, photogenerated holes in the ZnO valence band could transfer to the HOMO orbital of PANI and then emigrate to the photocatalysts surface and oxidize the adsorbed contaminants directly. Under visible light irradiation, PANI generated a π − π* transition, delivering the excited electrons to the conduction band of ZnO, and then the electrons transferred to an adsorbed electron acceptor, yielding oxygenous radicals to degrade pollutants.

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.
