Background
With the rapid development of society, organic dyes and antibiotics cause serious water and soil pollution, seriously threaten the health of human bodies, animals and plants, effectively treat the pollution of the organic pollutants and the antibiotics and protect the living environment of human beings, and is a long-term important problem to be solved. Under the carbon neutralization background, the solar photocatalytic degradation technology is considered to be a key green and environment-friendly means for solving the major problem. So far, expert scholars have explored various semiconductor materials, including metal oxides, sulfides, oxyhalides, oxynitrides, organometallic framework materials, etc., for photocatalytic degradation. Of all the reported photocatalysts, metal sulfides are considered to be good candidates for photocatalysis due to their strong absorption in the visible region. Sulfur spinel (A), an important ternary transition metal sulfideIIBIII 2SVI 4E.g. ZnIn2S4、CoIn2S4、NiIn2S4、FeIn2S4Etc.) have shown the feasibility of photocatalysis and in lightPotential applications in electronics, light modulators and photodetectors. Wherein, NiIn2S4Has narrow band gap and excellent photocatalytic activity, and has wide application in the field of solar cells.
Ag. The reason why nano ions such as Au have remarkable photocatalytic activity is that: 1) the electron conduction of the metal nano-particles can obtain irradiation energy, so that high-energy electrons are generated on the surfaces of the metal nano-particles, and the organic pollutant molecules adsorbed on the surfaces of the metal nano-particles are activated to be oxidized. 2) The metal nanoparticles have better affinity for organic contaminant molecules than semiconductors; 3) the electron density of the surface of the metal nano particle is far higher than that of a semiconductor, so that the reaction of organic pollutant molecules on the surface of the metal nano particle is enhanced. Common Au and Ag nanoparticles are often used as a cocatalyst for photocatalysis. The high-entropy alloy containing various metal elements has the advantages of excellent catalytic activity, high strength, good corrosion resistance and the like due to coordination, geometric effect and the like.
