The synergy effect of surface modifications using acid treatment and noble metal deposition on the efficiency of SnFe2O4 nano-octahedron photocatalyst has been investigated. Acid treatment produces reaction sites and enhances the deposition of Au nanoparticles, while noble metal deposition further improves the photocatalytic efficiency through surface plasmon resonance effect. This research demonstrates the importance of surface modifications in enhancing photocatalytic activity.
The synergy effect of surface modifications using acid treatment and noble metal (Au) deposition on the efficiency of SnFe2O4 (SFO) nano-octahedron photocatalyst has been investigated. Inorganic acids (H2SO4 and HNO3) were employed to compare the effects of different acids. It has been found that after corrosion treatment using H2SO4 and deposition of Au nanoparticles, SnFe2O4 nano-octahedron (Au-S-SFO) showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity under simulated light irradiation. Au-S-SFO was characterized by XRD, XPS, EDS, FTIR, Uv-vis-DRS, SEM, PL and EIS analysis. The mechanism for the photocatalytic chlortetracycline (CTC) degradation and CO2 reduction was investigated by the scavenger tests. The stability of Au-S-SFO was confirmed by continuously repeated tests followed by XRD and TEM analysis. The surface corrosion treatment of SFO octahedron with H2SO4 could produce hydroxyl group (-OH) and sulfonic acid group (-SO3H) as reaction sites. These active sites not only enhanced the Au nanoparticles deposition to the acid treated SFO surface, but also acted as the Bronsted acid sites which enhance the water adsorption and provide protons for CTC degradation and CO2 reduction. These effects improved the carrier separation and transfer efficiency. In addition, the photocatalytic efficiency was further enhanced by the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Au nanoparticles deposited on the surface of acid treated SFO. As a result of the synergy effect of both acid treatment and SPR effect from the Au NPs, Au-S-SFO exhibited >2.5 times higher photocatalytic CTC degradation efficiency than pure SFO. Furthermore, Au-S-SFO displayed the highest CO2 reduction activity with 2.81, 1.92, and 2.69 times higher evolution rate for CO, CH4 and H2, respectively, than that of pure SFO.
