Photocatalytic Activity of AgBr as an Environmental Catalyst
Tóm tắt
The photocatalytic activity of AgBr has been investigated. AgBr(N2) was prepared by solid(AgNO3)–solid(KBr) reaction at different temperatures in a stream of N2. AgBr(N2) prepared at 250 °C showed the highest H2 generation activity although the larger crystallites of Ag were observed. When the preparation was carried out under air [AgBr(air)] at 250 °C, the photoactivity and the crystallization of Ag were lowered by the formation of silver oxides species in AgBr(air) probably during the natural cooling under air. It is pointed out however that the amount of hydrogen of both AgBr(N2) and AgBr(air) increased linearly increasing with reaction time regardless of the formation of large Ag crystallites even after UV irradiation for 50 h. This suggests that the behavior of Ag formed might be different from that of the latent image in the photographic process.
