Facile Synthesis and Photocatalytic Properities of PbS Quantum Dots/Boron and Nitrogen Co-Doped TiO2 Transparent Photocatalyst Emulsion

Article Preview

Abstract:

PbS quantum dots/ Boron and Nitrogen co-doped TiO2 photocatalyst emulsions were synthesized by a complexation-controlled hydrolysis method at room temperature. Boron compounds and Nitrogen compounds were added to TiO2 precursor solution, and PbS quantum dots were attached to TiO2 particles surfaces by using chemical reaction. The hybird composite photocatalysts were characterized by nanoparticle size analyzer. Their photocatalytic properties were evaluated through the degradation of acid red 3R dye. The results indicate that when TiO2 emulsion added to Boron ions, Nitrogen ions, and PbS quantum dots, the reflux time is 15 min, the photocatalytic performance of the emulsion is the best.
