摘要

Hierarchical perovskite PbTiO3-Ag2O (H-PTO-Ag2O) microplate composites were successfully synthesized by decorating Ag2O nanoparticles on the surface of hierarchical PTO microplate (H-PTO) via a facile wet-chemical method. The composite samples were characterized by SEM, XRD, XPS, PL, and UV-Vis techniques. The catalytic activities of the as-prepared H-PTO-Ag2O composites were evaluated. And the H-PTO-Ag2O-55wt% composite displayed the best photocatalytic activity with 99.1% RhB degraded within 25 min under simulated solar light irradiation, exhibiting a kinetic constant of 0.17692 min−1, 5.8 times higher than that of pure H-PTO (0.03046 min−1). The remarkable photocatalytic activity of the H-PTO-Ag2O composite can be attributed to the narrowed band gap, improved light absorption, and the enhanced separation of photo-generated carriers induced by the integration of Ag2O nanoparticles and H-PTO microplates. This work could shed some light upon the facile design and low-cost synthesis of effective perovskite-based Ag2O catalysts for wastewater purification.
