摘要
The nanometer-sized ZnO was prepared through the sol-gel method. Its average particle diameter, deter-mined by TEM, was 20-30 run. The specific surface area was determined to be 22 m(2) g(-1) by BET. The photodegradation mechanism of Rhodamine dyes on nanometer-sized ZnO was studied by dynamic molecular spectra, and the results showed that the photodegradation of Rhodamine dyes obeyed the rules of a pseudo first-order kinetic reaction. The rate constant k of the degradation of Rhodamine B (RB) and butyl-Rhodamine (BR) were 0.0128 and 0.0154min(-1), respectively, and the half period t(1/2) were 60 and 52min, respectively. The photodegradation reaction conditions were optimized. After intermixing with silver, the photodegradation efficiency was greatly improved. A life-span test showed that nanometer-sized ZnO had a long life-span. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
