摘要
以天然辉锑矿为原料,在聚乙二醇(PEG)和N,N-二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)的辅助下,利用水热法合成了硫化锑(Sb_2S_3)纳米棒。探讨了Sb_2S_3纳米棒的形成机理,并系统研究了不同制备条件对产物形貌与性能的影响。采用一系列表征方法对产物的晶型、成分、形貌、光电性能进行了探究,并以可见光为光源、甲基橙为目标降解物评价了纳米Sb_2S_3的光催化活性。研究表明,经160℃水热反应12 h可得到厚约50 nm的Sb_2S_3纳米片,在氮氛中400℃热处理1 h后,纳米片将转变为宽100~200 nm,长2~3μm的Sb_2S_3单晶纳米棒。制备的Sb_2S_3纳米棒为直接半导体,能带间隙为1.66 eV。光催化测试表明,制备的Sb_2S_3纳米棒在可见光下对甲基橙的光催化降解率高于商业Sb_2S_3试剂,60 min后,甲基橙的降解率达87.6%,表现出明显的可见光活性。
Antimony trisulfide(Sb_2S_3) nanorods were successfully synthesized via hydrothermal method with the assistance of polyethylene glycol(PEG) and N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF), using natural stibnite as precursor. The effects of experimental parameters on the morphology and the properties of the obtained Sb_2S_3 were systematically studied, and the possible formation mechanism of Sb_2S_3 nanorods in the preparation process was also discussed. Phase, compositions, morphology and photoelectric properties of the products were investigated by a series of characterization methods. The photocatalytic activity of nano Sb_2S_3 on the degradation of methyl orange were investigated under the visible light irradiation. The results showed that the Sb_2S_3 nanoflakes formed after hydrothermal synthesis at 160℃ for 12 h, and the nanoflakes would transform into nanorods eventually after N_2-annealing at 400℃ for 1 h. The obtained Sb_2S_3 nanorods with a single crystal structure are typically 2~3 μm in length, 100~200 nm in width, which are direct semiconductor with band gap of 1.66 eV. Photocatalytic degradation rate of the obtained Sb_2S_3 nanorods on methyl orange under visible light irradiation is higher than that of commercial Sb_2S_3, which is up to 87.6% after 60 min degradation, exhibiting obvious visible-light activity.
