Synthesis of Novel Functional Materials for the Photo-Catalytic Reaction
Abstract:
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8(ZIF-8, Zn (MIM) 2, MIM=2-methylimidazole) was synthesized by solvothermal (S) method and liquid-phase diffusion (D) method. ZIF-8 was then directly impregnated with phosphortungstic acid (PTA) at room temperature. After impregnation, the ZIF-8 retained its integrity of frameworks as proved by several characterizations. The textural properties are heavily dependent on preparation methods. Diffusion method produced well-crystallized particles with larger surface area, whereas solvothermal method yielded poorly-crystallized particles. ZIF-8 and ZIF-8-PTA were applied in the photo-degradation of methylene blue (MB) with the assistance of electron acceptor hydrogen peroxide, in which both of them were found to be highly active photo-catalytic. Moreover, the impregnation of PTA improved clearly the activity of catalysts due to the fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations.
