In this study, novel hierarchical hollow nest-like WO3 micro/nanostructures were successfully synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method. The nanostructures were characterized and found to exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity towards tetracycline in water, as well as good stability and reusability under visible light. This research provides a reliable strategy for the simple and controllable preparation of hollow photocatalysts for wastewater treatment applications.
Novel hierarchical hollow nest-like WO3 micro/nanostructures (HNWMs) were prepared via a facile hydrothermal method. These nanostructures were successfully synthesized without using any templates or surfactants. The photocatalysts were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray and photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurements. We found that the HNWMs are assembled of a number of regular-shaped nanosheets with an average thickness of approximately 30-40 nm. Based on detailed time-dependent experiments, a possible formation mechanism is proposed. The effects of annealing conditions on the structure and photodegradation properties of the HNWMs are investigated. Furthermore, the effect of hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) on the structure of HNWMs is studied under the same conditions. In addition, the as-prepared HNWMs are found to exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity towards an aqueous solution of tetracycline (TC) and possess good stability and reusability under visible light. This study provides a reliable strategy for the simple and controllable preparation of hollow photocatalysts for use in wastewater treatment. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
