Abstract

The invention provides a zinc oxide based composite photocatalytic nano-material, which is a material with visible light catalytic activity. The material has a sea-urchin-shaped solid sphere shape or hollow sphere shape. The preparation method comprises the following two steps: (1) putting alcohol / water solution of zinc salt into a high-pressure reaction kettle, reacting at 140-180 DEG C for 1.5-9 hours, washing the product with ethanol, and drying at 60 DEG C for 2-6 hours to obtain a sea-urchin-shaped ZnO microsphere; (2) performing ultrasonic dispersion on the sea-urchin-shaped ZnO in a ferric salt solution by utilizing a dipping-precipitation method, dripping ammonium hydroxide to react for 1-12 hours at 40 DEG C in a stirring condition, wherein the mass ratio of ferric salt to ZnO is 0.05-0.2; collecting solid, calcining at 350 DEG C for 2 hours to obtain an alpha-Fe2O3 nano-particle modified ZnO composite photocatalytic system. The material has strong light absorption and light response in the visible light range, can be used for remarkably improving the activity of visible light catalytic degraded organic dye, and can be applied to light catalytic degradation treatment of wastewater of the dye industry.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of photocatalytic nanomaterials and environmental protection, in particular to a process for preparing α-Fe with visible light catalytic activity by using alcohol thermal method and subsequent impregnation-precipitation method 2 o 3 A facile method for nanoparticle-modified sea urchin-like ZnO microsphere structure composite photocatalytic nanomaterials. Background technique [0002] At present, environmental protection has attracted more and more attention. One of the research hotspots is the use of semiconductor materials as photocatalysts to treat organic pollutants by photocatalytic oxidation. ZnO is a direct band gap semiconductor material with wurtzite structure, which has the characteristics of high chemical stability, harmless to human body, low cost, and deep valence band energy level. However, its band gap reaches 3.37eV at room temperature, and the absorption wavelength threshold is mostly in the ultravi...
