Feng Z. Synthesis and full-spectrum-responsive photocatalytic activity from UV/Vis to near-infrared region of S-O decorated YMnO 3 nanoparticles for photocatalytic degradation of ibuprofen. Front Chem 2024; 12:1424548. [PMID: 38911994 PMCID: PMC11191781 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2024.1424548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The oxalic acid complexation method and sulfuric acid heat treatment method were used to synthesize the YMnO3 (YMO) and YMO-SO4 2- (YMO-SO) photocatalysts. The YMO-SO photocatalyst maintained the crystal structure of YMO, but the particle size increased slightly and the optical band gap decreased significantly. The YMO-SO photocatalyst demonstrates a wide range of light absorption capabilities, covering ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared light. The photocatalytic activity of YMO-SO was investigated with ibuprofen as the target pollutant. The YMO-SO photocatalyst exhibits high ultraviolet (UV), visible and near-infrared photocatalytic activity. Experiments with different environmental parameters confirmed that the best catalyst content was 1 g/L, the best drug concentration was 75 mg/L and the best pH value was 7. The capture experiment, free radical detection experiment and photocatalytic mechanism analysis confirmed that the main active species of YMO-SO photocatalyst were hole and superoxide free radical.

Zhu J, Cheng X, Cui Y, Chen F. Photocatalytic activity and mechanism of YMnO 3/NiO photocatalyst for the degradation of oil and gas field wastewater. Front Chem 2024; 12:1408961. [PMID: 38752200 PMCID: PMC11094212 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2024.1408961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
One-step hydrothermal method has been used to synthesize YMnO3@NiO (YMO@NO) photocatalysts with high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of oil and gas field wastewater under simulated solar irradiation. Through various characterization methods, it has been confirmed that the YMO@NO photocatalyst comprises only YMO and NO, without any other impurities. The microstructure characterization confirmed that the YMO@NO photocatalyst was composed of large squares and fine particles, and heterojunction was formed at the interface of YMO and NO. The optical properties confirm that the YMO@NO photocatalyst has high UV-vis optical absorption coefficient, suggesting that it has high UV-vis photocatalytic activity. Taking oil and gas field wastewater as degradation object, YMO@NO photocatalyst showed the highest photocatalytic activity (98%) when the catalyst content was 1.5 g/L, the mass percentage of NO was 3%, and the irradiation time was 60 min. Capture and stability experiments confirm that the YMO@NO photocatalyst is recyclable and electrons, holes, hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals play major roles in the photocatalysis process. Based on experiments and theoretical calculations, a reasonable photocatalytic mechanism of the YMO@NO photocatalyst is proposed.

DyMnO 3: Synthesis, Characterization and Evaluation of Its Photocatalytic Activity in the Visible Spectrum. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:7666. [PMID: 38138808 PMCID: PMC10745093 DOI: 10.3390/ma16247666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
DyMnO3 is a p-type semiconductor oxide with two crystal systems, orthorhombic and hexagonal. This material highlights its ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties, which have been the subject of numerous studies. Nevertheless, its photocatalytic activity has been less explored. In this work, the photocatalytic activity of DyMnO3 is evaluated through the photodegradation of MG dye. For the synthesis of this oxide, a novel and effective method was used: polymer-decomposition. The synthesized powders contain an orthorhombic phase, with a range of absorbances from 300 to 500 nm and a band gap energy of 2.4 eV. It is also highlighted that, when using this synthesis method, some of the main diffraction lines related to the orthorhombic phase appear at 100 °C. Regarding its photocatalytic activity, it was evaluated under visible light (λ = 405 nm), reaching a photodegradation of approximately 88% in a period of 30 min. Photocurrent tests reveal a charge carrier separation (e-,h+) at a 405 nm wavelength. The main reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved in the photodegradation process were radicals, OH•, and photo-holes (h+). These results stand out because it is the first time that the photodegradation capability of this oxide in the visible spectrum has been evaluated.
