Recent Research from Prince of Songkla University Highlight Findings in Photocatalytics (Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants By Ag2o/agsiox)

Article Description

Silver silicate (AgSiO x ) is a visible-driven photocatalyst. However, the efficiency of single component photocatalysts can be improved by coupling with other compounds. In this work, AgSiO x was coupled with different amounts of Ag 2 O using a co-precipitation method. Ratios of Ag 2 O:AgSiO x were controlled by varying the concentrations of Na 2 SiO 3.9H 2 O and NaOH. All prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, surface analysis, and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Under visible light irradiation, the Ag 2 O/AgSiO x composite could degrade rhodamine B, reactive orange, and bisphenol A solutions. The Ag 2 O/AgSiO x exhibited greater photocatalytic activity than AgSiO x and Ag 2 O because this composite improved visible light absorption and inhibited charge recombination. The Ag 2 O/AgSiO x prepared from 0.012 mol NaOH exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. Photocatalytic degradation of all pollutant models to low mass species was studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and the cytotoxicity of pollutant model solutions before and after photocatalytic processes was evaluated on L929 mouse fibroblast cells using the MTT assay.
