Abstract
Presently, most of the population has been facing a string of severe air pollution problems that include the intensive emission of nitric oxide (NO), which requires a practical approach to sustain our living conditions. Herein, Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs)-decorated ZnSn(OH) 6 microcubes (Ag:cZHS) photocatalysts are synthesized and used for photocatalytic NO removal under solar light activation. The properties of the newly obtained photocatalysts are comprehensively characterized by a series of typical methods. The NO removal performance over the c:ZHS photocatalysts was increased markedly upon being combined with Ag NPs because of the surface plasmon resonance effect. The contribution of electron (e − ), hole (h + ), hydroxyl radical (•OH), and oxygen radicals (•O 2 ) was investigated through trapping tests and electron spin resonance analysis. Also, the by-products and apparent quantum efficiency of the photocatalysts were thoroughly studied.
期刊介绍:
The primary goal of Sustainable Environment Research (SER) is to publish high quality research articles associated with sustainable environmental science and technology and to contribute to improving environmental practice. The scope of SER includes issues of environmental science, technology, management and related fields, especially in response to sustainable water, energy and other natural resources. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Water and Wastewater • Biological processes • Physical and chemical processes • Watershed management • Advanced and innovative treatment 2. Soil and Groundwater Pollution • Contaminant fate and transport processes • Contaminant site investigation technology • Soil and groundwater remediation technology • Risk assessment in contaminant sites 3. Air Pollution and Climate Change • Ambient air quality management • Greenhouse gases control • Gaseous and particulate pollution control • Indoor air quality management and control 4. Waste Management • Waste reduction and minimization • Recourse recovery and conservation • Solid waste treatment technology and disposal 5. Energy and Resources • Sustainable energy • Local, regional and global sustainability • Environmental management system • Life-cycle assessment • Environmental policy instruments
