摘要/Abstract

摘要： The objective in this study is to investigate the adsorption-degradation of the methylene blue (MB) dye using a fabricated heterojunction Ag@TiO₂ nanocomposite. The batch factors used in photo catalytic reactions were pH, UV-irradiation time, temperature, catalytic dosage, and concentration of MB. The results showed that 0.2×10³ g·ml^-1) of the catalytic dose caused the Ag@TiO₂ adsorption to degrade by 96.67% with darks and UV exposure. Using the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model to determine the kinetic, the Ag@TiO₂ displays a greater kinetic rate than TiO₂ and silver nanoparticle (AgNPs). The photocatalytic degradation of MB, which is an endothermic reaction involving all catalysts, is shown by the thermodynamic parameter to have the positive value of enthalpy (ΔH°). The enthalpies observed were Ag@TiO₂ (126.80 kJ·mol^-1) < AgNPs (354.47 kJ·mol^-1) < TiO₂ (430.04 kJ·mol^-1). Ascorbic acid (^·OH scavenger), 2-propanol (^·O₂ scavenger), and ammonium oxalate (AO) (hole h⁺ scavenger) were employed to conduct the scavenger effects. The Ag@TiO₂ demonstrated a reduction in MB degradation when combined with 2-propanol, and this clearly demonstrated that, in contrast to hydroxyl radicals (^·OH) and hole (h⁺) scavengers, superoxide radical anion (^·O₂ scavenger) plays a significant role in MB degradation. Utilizing density functional theory (DFT) to elucidate the mechanism and B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level optimization, the degradation-adsorption process was explained. When the N-N, C-N or C-C bonds were severed, the Fukui faction was demonstrated for nucleophilic, electrophilic, and radical attack.
