Abstract:

Ammonia holds paramount importance in the field of agriculture, textiles, chemicals, dyes, insecticides and explosives. Owing to its higher density and stability, hydrogen (H2) can be transported as ammonia (NH3), an efficient and clean energy carrier. However, the negative impact of the traditional method of NH3 production demands a greener approach to generating NH3. Therefore, a photocatalyst TiO2/ZrO2 (TZ) with crumbled sheetlike structure was synthesized hydrothermally with a high specific surface area to photofix atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to NH3. The synthesized material exhibited excellent photocatalytic activities in the photofixation of N2 to NH3 and the photodegradation of tetracycline (TC). Under simulated solar irradiation, the TZ photocatalyst demonstrated a photocatalytic N2 reduction rate of 516.67 mu mol h- 1 g- 1 and a TC degrading efficiency of 87.63 %, which is approximately twice as high as that of ZrO2. The introduction of TiO2 to ZrO2 altered the morphology with increased specific surface area, significantly improving the photocatalytic performance. The large surface area and abundance of oxygen vacancies in TZ resulted in more active sites for photocatalysis and improved the charge separation. In order to elucidate the superior activity of the photocatalyst, the photocatalysts were examined using microscopic and spectroscopic methods. This work may provide some understanding of the design and development of efficient semiconductor photocatalysts, which also have enormous potential for N2 fixation and additional photocatalytic applications.
