Enhancing the efficiency of visible light degradation is important for the actual application of TiO2/SiO2 (Ti/Si) composite materials for waste water treatment. In this manuscript, graphdiyne-doped TiO2/SiO2 (Ti/Si/GDY) (the Ti/Si composite exhibits a spherical shape with a diameter between 200 and 500 nm) composite material was successfully prepared using a hydrothermal method, which was utilized as photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution under visible light illumination. Studies showed that Ti/Si/GDY-0.8 wt% exhibited superior photocatalytic degradation efficiency (91.8%) under visible light illumination than other composite materials such as Ti/Si/GDY-0.6 wt% (87.9%), Ti/Si/GDY-1.0 wt% (85.9%), and bare Ti/Si composite (32.3%). Moreover, Ti/Si/GDY also showed a higher photocatalytic degradation efficiency than other carbon materials (graphene (GR) and carbon nanotube (CNT) composited Ti/Si (Ti/Si/GR, Ti/Si/CNT)). The studies of the possible mechanism for the degradation of MA indicated that h+ was the major substance for the smooth degradation of methylene blue. Such a high efficiency photocatalyst might be also useful for the degradation of other contaminates in waste water or air.

石墨二炔掺杂的TiO 2 / SiO 2复合材料的制备及其光催化活性
对于将TiO 2 / SiO 2(Ti / Si)复合材料用于废水处理的实际应用而言,提高可见光降解效率非常重要。在此手稿中,掺杂了石墨二炔的TiO 2 / SiO 2(Ti / Si / GDY)(Ti / Si复合材料呈球形,直径在200至500 nm之间)使用水热方法成功制备了复合材料,该材料用作光催化剂用于亚甲基蓝(MB )在可见光照明下的水溶液中。研究表明,Ti / Si / GDY-0.8 wt%在可见光照射下表现出比其他复合材料(如Ti / Si / GDY-0.6 wt%(87.9%),Ti / Si / GDY)优异的光催化降解效率(91.8%)。 -1.0重量%(85.9%)和裸钛/硅复合材料(32.3%)。此外,Ti / Si / GDY还显示出比其他碳材料(石墨烯(GR)和碳纳米管(CNT)复合Ti / Si(Ti / Si / GR,Ti / Si / CNT))更高的光催化降解效率。对MA降解的可能机理的研究表明,h+是亚甲基蓝平滑降解的主要物质。这种高效的光催化剂还可用于降解废水或空气中的其他污染物。
