Abstract:
Two facile and green methods without any templates, catalysts, surfactants or organic solvents were applied to synthesize ZnSn(OH) 6 nanoparticles, i.e. homogeneous precipitation (HP) and hydrothermal (HT). The photocatalytic activities were evaluated on the degradation of organic pollutants under ultraviolet light illumination. Compared to commercial P25, the photoactivity of ZnSn(OH) 6 was remarkably improved. The conversion and mineralization ratio of the photocatalytic degradation of benzene by the ZnSn(OH) 6 -HP were up to 75% and 68%, which is about 20 and 2 times higher than that of P25. The ZnSn(OH) 6 has also exhibited high performance toward other persistent organic compounds as well as methyl orange in suspended solution. The order of photodegradation efficiencies of different catalysts was ZnSn(OH) 6 -HP>P25>ZnSn(OH) 6 -HT. Based on the characterization results and the detection of active species, the possible mechanism of the high photocatalytic activity of ZnSn(OH) 6 -HP was discussed. The simplified synthesis of zinc hydroxystannate with outstanding activity could be promisingly used in the future photocatalytic application. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
