摘要/Abstract

Abstract:

Due to increasingly serious environmental problems, many researchers are investigating green clean-energy to solve the world's energy supply issues. So the strategy that Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) and bismuth sulfide (Bi₂S₃) NPs are used to evenly decorate TiO₂ nanotube arrays (TiO₂ NTAs) was carried out. Composite materials demonstrated enhanced solar light absorption ability and excellent photoelectrochemical performance. This was attributed to the presence of Bi₂S₃ NPs with a narrow band gap and the decoration with noble metallic Au NPs which resulted in local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects. The Au/Bi₂S₃@TiO₂ NTAs composites exhibit improved photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under irradiation of UV and visible light. Moreover, the Au/Bi₂S₃@TiO₂ NTAs exhibits high fluorescence emission at 822 nm. Due to the better binding affinity between Bi₂S₃, TiO₂ and Fe³⁺ ions, the synthesized nanocomposites exhibit high selectivity to Fe³⁺ ions. The number of binding sites for Au/Bi₂S₃@TiO₂ NTAs was estimated to be 1.41 according to the double logarithmic regression method. The calculated value of “K” was 1862 M^-1. Fluorescence emission intensity decreases with increasing concentration (30 μM-5000 μM). The detection limit of the synthesized sensor is 0.221 μM.
