Abstract:

In this study,layered Li2MnO3 was prepared by solid-phase synthesis and applied to the photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol(2,4-DCP) in water.The morphology and structure of the photocatalysts were characterized using XRD,TEM and FT-IR,and the optical and electrochemical properties were characterized through UV-Vis DRS and EIS.It was found that the Li2MnO3(LMO-900) obtained at a sintering temperature of 900 ℃ exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance,with a degradation efficiency of 2,4-DCP as high as 87% within 30 min.The results of ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(UV-Vis DRS) and Mott-Schottky curves showed that the band gap of Li2MnO3 was 2.07 eV,the valence band potential was 1.68 V(vs.NHE) and the conduction band potential was -0.39 V(vs.NHE),indicating that it had good photogenerated electron and hole redox capabilities.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests revealed the effect of sintering temperature on carrier separation efficiency,among which LMO-900 had the highest carrier separation efficiency.Radical trapping experiments showed that holes(h⁺) and superoxide anion radicals(∙O2-) were the main active species in the process of Li2MnO3 photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-DCP.Electronic structure calculation and analysis showed that the Mn-O bond was the key to the photocatalytic activity centre and played a decisive role in the degradation of 2,4-DCP.
