摘要: Abstract A novel CQDs/TiO2 hierarchical structure with enhanced photocatalytic properties was achieved by uniformly decorating urchin-like and yolk-shell TiO2 microspheres (UYTMs) carbon quantum dots (CQDs) through an environmentally friendly hydrothermal process. The CQDs were firstly synthesized the electrochemical method, TEM, Raman PL characterizations strongly indicated that as-prepared exhibited good dispersion, high crystallinity unique up-conversion properties. UYTMs a NaOH-assisted process showed stable 3D large surface area, which beneficial for light absorption contacting contamination. combination of further successfully during process, demonstrated series tests. experiments suggested CQDs/UYTMs better activities than pure P25 under both visible UV irradiation. combining 6 wt% best efficiency, while excessive tended to inhibit activity. According results discussions, possible mechanism in improving efficiency is significantly proposed. property can broaden spectrum light. Moreover, CQDs, as electron reservoirs, are efficient separate electrons holes, leading improved activity CQDs/UYTMs.
