Fabrication of Surface Molecularly Imprinted Photocatalyst PANI/GO/BiOCl/Bi2S3 Based on Facile In-Situ Synthesis for the Selective Fuel Denitrification
摘要
Enhancing photocatalytic selectivity is essential for the effective and efficient utilization of catalysts. In this study, a molecularly imprinted polymer, MIP-PANI/GO/BiOCl/Bi2S3, was successfully synthesized through in-situ synthesis using pyridine as a template molecule. The MIP-PANI/GO/BiOCl/Bi2S3 demonstrated enhanced charge transfer and efficient separation of photogenerated carriers. The denitrification rate of pyridine can reach 90% after 150 min, which is 1.5 times or 1.55 times greater than that of NMIP-PANI/GO/BiOCl/Bi2S3 or GO/BiOCl/Bi2S3, respectively. In various mixed systems, the selectivity coefficients for pyridine using MIP-PANI/GO/BiOCl/Bi2S3 consistently exceeded 1.6, suggesting its good molecular recognition. The excellent molecular recognition endowed MIP-PANI/GO/BiOCl/Bi2S3 with preferential degradation performance, leading to effective mineralization of pyridine. Most importantly, the preferential fuel denitrification mechanism based on molecular recognition was proposed. This study presents a promising strategy for designing Bi-based molecular imprinting photocatalysts aimed at efficiently removing low-concentration and highly toxic target pollutants from mixed samples.
