Abstract:
The coupling of piezoelectric effect and metal surface modification is an effective way to improve photo -catalytic performance. Herein, we prepared a new piezoelectric heterojunction catalyst by depositing Cu nanoparticles on the surface of lead-free Na0.5Bi4.5Ti4O15 (NBT) piezoelectric micron-sheets. Under the si-multaneous excitation of light and stirring, NBT@6.4 wt%Cu photocatalyst exhibits excellent piezo-photo-catalytic activity, in which the degradation rate of methyl orange (MO) solution can reach 96% within 120 min, and the rate constant kobs value is as high as 24.67 x 10-3 min-1, which is similar to 13 times larger than that of pure NBT photocatalyst under the excitation of light. The improved piezo-photocatalytic perfor-mance is attributed to that the deposition of Cu nanoparticles and the high piezoelectric properties of NBT facilitates the transfer and separation of photogenerated carriers. This work provides a new option for designing high-performance piezo-photocatalysts for pollutant treatment. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
