چکیده مقاله :

اکسید روی (ZnO)نیمه هادی اکسیدی است که خواص فوتوکاتالیستی داشته و قابلیت تجزیه مواد آلی و تصفیه پساب های صنعتی را دارا می باشد. در این تحقیق نانوذرات اکسیدروی دوپ شده با درصدهای متفاوت نقره (Ag) به روش سل-ژل پکینی برای بررسی خواص فوتوکاتالیستی سنتز گردید. نانو ذرات به دلیل داشتن نسبت سطح به حجم بالا می توانند خواص فوتوکاتالیستی بهتری از خود نشان دهند. همچنین افزودن فلزات نجیب به نیمه هادی می تواند مانع از باز ترکیبی جفت الکترون –حفره گردد. نمونه های سنتز شده حاوی 0/6، 1/8، 3/1 و 6/2 درصد وزنی نقره بودند. نمونه های بدست امده توسط طیف سنج UV-Vis، پراش اشعه X (XRD)، میکروسکوپ الکترونی روبشی (SEM)، میکروسکوپ گسیل میدانی (FESEM)، و طیف سنجی فوتولومینسانس(PL) مشخصه یابی گردیدند. در نهایت از نمونه های سنتز شده نسبت به زمان تست فوتوکاتالیستی در برابر متیلن آبی به انجام شد. با توجه به نتایج مشاهده گردید با دوپ نمودن نقره اندازه ذرات اکسید روی کاهش می یابد همچنین با افزودن نقره به نانوذرات ZnO تا حدود 1/8 درصد وزنی کاهش محسوسی در شدت فوتولومینسانس نمونه ها در محدوده فرابنفش ایجاد شده که نشان دهنده کاهش نرخ بازترکیبی الکترون-حفره و به دنبال ان افزایش نرخ فوتوکاتالیستی نمونه ها می باشد. تکرارپذیر بودن خصلت رنگبری فوتوکاتالیست سنتز شده بوسیله تکرار سه سیکل فوتوکاتالیستی بر روی نمونه دوپ شده با 1/8 درصد وزنی نقره انجام شد، مشاهده گردید که راندمان کاتالیست سنتز شده کاهش چشمگیری نداشته و این نشان دهنده پایداری فوتو کاتالیست سنتز شده است.

چکیده انگلیسی:

Zinc oxide is a semiconductor which has photo-catalyst properties and could be used for degradation of organic materials. In this research silver doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using Pechini sol-gel method in order to investigate its photo-catalyst properties. Nanoparticles show good photo-catalyst properties due to high surface area to volume ratio and adding of noble metals to semiconductor decreases recombination of electron-hole. Samples with different weight percentages of silver (0.6, 1.8, 3.1 and 6.2) were synthesized. Samples were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Photo luminance Spectroscopy. Photo-catalyst properties of samples were analyzed by degradation of methylene blue. Results showed that Ag doping decreased the particle size of samples and the sample containing 1.8% Ag had maximum rate in degradation of methylene blue solution and this was coincidence with PL results. Adding of Ag to ZnO decreased recombination rate of electron-hole in oxide and therefore increased photo-catalyst properties of samples or degradation rate of solutions. To confirm the decolorization repeatability of the synthesized samples, three photocatalytic cycles were performed on the sample containing 1.8% wt% of silver. It was observed that the decolorization efficiency of sample was not significantly reduced, and it is indicate that the synthesized catalyst is stable and functional.
