Abstract
BaCuxTi1-xO3-x (x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) nanofibers were synthesized via the hydrothermal method and subsequently subjected to poling. The impact of composition on their tribocatalytic performance and the underlying catalytic mechanism were investigated. After 100 min, all poled BaCuxTi1-xO3-x nanofibers exhibited superior tribocatalytic efficiency compared to pure BaTiO3, with BaCu0.02Ti0.98O2.98 poled nanofibers achieving a degradation rate of up to 80 % for RhB solution. This is because the increased conductivity and reduced carrier recombination rate which were caused by a 0.02 Cu doping, smaller grain size and poling effect. Control experiments confirmed that both stirring and the presence of a catalyst are essential prerequisites for tribocatalysis. Furthermore, the universality, selectivity, stability, and main active group O2– of poled BaCuxTi1-xO3-x (x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) nanofibers were verified. Lastly, although the tribocatalytic efficiency presented in this paper does not match that of piezoelectric catalysis, the latter requires ultrasonic conditions that are challenging to find naturally. As a result, tribocatalysis offers greater potential for practical applications.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
