Problems solved by technology

However, ZnO has the following defects in the photocatalytic reaction: first, the recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes is high, and the effective carrier concentration is low, which reduces the photocatalytic efficiency and limits its practical application; , the surface of ZnO is prone to photocorrosion, resulting in a decrease in the stability and catalytic activity of the catalyst, and it is difficult to achieve the expected catalytic efficiency.
Since noble metal nanoparticles can capture photo-generated electrons, the photo-generated electrons migrate to the surface of the nanoparticles, improving the separation rate of photo-generated electrons and holes, and the cost of most noble metals is relatively high.
In recent years, graphene quantum dots (GQDs), as zero-dimensional carbon nanomaterials, have been widely used in optical devices, biological imaging and The field of photocatalysis shows great application potential, and GQDs can be used as semiconductors, which can generate electron-hole pairs by themselves under the excitation of ultraviolet light, thereby providing more highly active free radicals to facilitate the degradation of organic matter, which has not yet been used in the preparation of photocatalysts. reported

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of materials, in particular to a copper-containing zinc oxide / graphene quantum dot catalyst and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid growth of industry, environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious, especially the widespread use of organic matter in papermaking, textile printing and dyeing, leather manufacturing and other industries has produced a large amount of industrial wastewater. If it is not properly treated, it will harm human health and the ecological environment. cause great harm. Therefore, it is extremely important to seek an efficient and economical treatment method for organic pollutants, which also prompts the widespread attention of photocatalytic materials and becomes a research hotspot. Photocatalysis means that when semiconductor materials are exposed to light, electrons in the valence band absorb energy and are excited to the conduction band, while holes ...
