摘要
本研究探讨了在无需催化剂的情况下,通过闪烁角沉积(GLAD)技术合成装饰有金(Au)和银(Ag)纳米粒子(NP)的垂直排列的二氧化锰纳米线(NW)。横截面场发射扫描电子显微镜(FESEM)图像和能量色散 X 射线光谱(EDS)证实,在 MnO2 NW 的顶面成功装饰了银纳米粒子和金纳米粒子。元素图谱验证了样品中锰(Mn)、氧(O)、硅(Si)、银和金的存在。X 射线衍射 (XRD) 图显示了 MnO2 薄膜的多晶生长和优选取向。原子力显微镜(AFM)显示,Au NP/MnO2 NW 的表面粗糙度大于 Ag NP/MnO2 NW。测得的 Au NP/MnO2 NW、Ag NP/MnO2 NW 和 MnO2 NW 的水接触角分别为 125°和 113°。在紫外线照射下,Ag NP/MnO2 NW 比 Au NP/MnO2 NW 表现出更强的亲水性,这是因为光生电子-空穴对的有效分离。Ag NP/MnO2 NW 的光催化活性高于 Au NP/MnO2 NW 是因为 Ag NP 在紫外区的光吸收增加。在 MnO2 NW 上装饰贵金属 NP 后,其整体性能得到增强,这为自清洁应用开辟了新的途径。
Surface functionalization of MnO2 NW embellished with metal nanoparticles for self-cleaning applications
The present study investigates the synthesis of vertically aligned MnO2 nanowires (NW) decorated with gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NP) via the glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique without a need for a catalyst. The cross-sectional field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) image and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirm the successful adornment of Ag NP and Au NP on the top surface of MnO2 NW. Elemental mapping has verified the presence of manganese (Mn), oxygen (O), silicon (Si), Ag, and Au within the sample. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns reveal the polycrystalline growth of the MnO2 film with the preferred orientation. AFM reveals that the surface roughness of Au NP/MnO2 NW is more than Ag NP/MnO2 NW. The measured water contact angles of Au NP/MnO2 NW, Ag NP/MnO2 NW, and MnO2 NW were 125° and 113°, respectively. Ag NP/MnO2 NW showed more hydrophilic properties under UV illumination than Au NP/MnO2 NW owing to the efficient separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. Ag NP/MnO2 NW’s higher photocatalytic activity than Au NP/MnO2 NW is attributed to the increased light absorption of the Ag NP in the UV region. The overall enhancement after decorating the noble metal NP on MnO2 NW could open new avenues for self-cleaning applications.
