Hybrid Material Based on an Amorphous-Carbon Matrix and ZnO/Zn for the Solar Photocatalytic Degradation of Basic Blue 41

Abstract: Innovative composites based on an amorphous-carbon matrix containing a second phase ZnO oxide and/or highly dispersed Zn metallic were synthesized via a modified Pechini route, in which a partial pyrolysis method was reached. Studies of adsorption in the dark and the photocatalytic activity for the cationic azo-dye, basic blue 41, and degradation were carried out. X-ray diffraction patterns for the carbon matrix and its composite with Zn show characteristics of the amorphous carbon. The infrared in the mid reg… Show more

“…A broad OH vibration peak is observed at 3436 cm −1 which is similar to that of in Ref. [19], displaying that absorption bands in the range between 3373-3546 cm −1 are associated to the symmetrical stretching of hydroxyl groups (OH). Other transmittance peaks in the FTIR spectrum are observed at 1157 cm −1 (CO stretching vibrations), at 1689 cm −1 (CO stretching vibrations) and at 1582 cm −1 (CC stretching vibrations).…”

“…This phenomenon is not affected by temperature variation because the little carbon deposited undergoes incomplete hybridization and thus contributes to a disordered carbon matrix. The carbon materials consist of a mixture of sp 2 and sp 3 hybrid carbons that do not completely close the graphite rings of the carbon material and hence amorphous carbon products [39]. At high flow rates and short time periods, amorphous carbon rapidly deposits on the catalyst material, and the carbon is inadequately crafted into disordered products.…”

“…Because activated carbon materials are nontoxic, possessing relatively low conductivity and very high surface area (≈3500 m 2 g −1 ), they are more suitable to be used as capacitors [ 97 ] and batteries. [ 98 ]…”
