Photoreactive Carbon and Nitrogen-Codoped ZnWO₄ Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Reactivity

Abstract:

In order to improve ZnWO₄ photocatalytic activity under visible light, the C, N-codoped ZnWO₄ nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by choosing C₃N₄ generated from tripolycyanamide pyrolysis as the source of Carbon and Nitrogen and the influence of C₃N₄ concentration on structural, optical and morphological properties of C, N-codoped ZnWO₄ using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photocatalytic decoloration of rhodamine B (RhB) aqueous solution under visible light. It was found that the presence of carbon and nitrogen could not improve the crystallization of ZnWO₄ species but could enhance their photoabsorption property in the visible region. The results also showed that the photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared ZnWO₄ is higher than that of pure ZnWO₄ with the optimum effect occurring at RC₃N₄ = 9 % (the weight ratio of tripolycyanamide to ZnWO₄)
