Abstract: | "Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are attracting much more attention due to their contributions to air pollution and human health problems. Photothermal catalytic oxidation is considered as an energy-saving method for the removal of VOCs. However, the efficiency of the photothermal catalytic system is still suffering from the low activity of the catalyst due to its poor response to visible light and low efficiency of charge separation. Here, few-layer CoAl-LDH (layered double hydroxide) was prepared as an advantageous support for loading Pt nanoparticles to obtain Pt-LDH, which were coated on CeO(2) nanoparticles. Type II heterojunctions were formed on the interface of LDH and CeO(2). In photocatalysis, the hot electrons will move to CeO(2), which is better at the activation of O(2) molecules, and holes will concentrate on the LDHs, which have plenty of hydroxyls to generate *OH radicals. Furthermore, the Schottky heterojunctions between LDH and Pt nanoparticles benefit the improvement of light absorption by the localized surface plasmon resonance of Pt nanoparticles. As a consequence, a high removal rate of toluene (75.7%) at a weight-hourly space velocity of 23340 mL/(g.h) under visible light irradiation (160 mW/cm(2), lambda > 400 nm) at room temperature was achieved over the Pt-LDH/CeO(2) catalyst. The catalyst design provides a useful method to prepare high-efficiency photothermal catalysts" |
