Synthesis of polypyrrole-modified Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposite microspheres and their photocatalytic activity

A polypyrrole-modified Fe _3 O _4 /SiO _2 /TiO _2 composite material was successfully synthesized on the FST surface by in situ polymerization of pyrrole. Structural, morphological and magnetic response of Fe _3 O _4 /SiO _2 /TiO _2 /PPy(FST/PPy) were characterized by transmission electron microscop...

description A polypyrrole-modified Fe _3 O _4 /SiO _2 /TiO _2 composite material was successfully synthesized on the FST surface by in situ polymerization of pyrrole. Structural, morphological and magnetic response of Fe _3 O _4 /SiO _2 /TiO _2 /PPy(FST/PPy) were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction pattern, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, etc. Through SEM images, the crystal sizes of the prepared FST/PPy nanoparticles were determined to be about 110 nm. The catalytic activity of FST/PPy was evaluated by the degree of decomposition of rhodamine B under ultraviolet and visible light, respectively. FST/PPy had the photocatalytic activity under the action of the light: the degradation rate of rhodamine B reached 92.8% and 63.5% after 3 h of UV and Vis light irradiation, respectively. Especially, compared with FST, the degradation rate has shown obvious improvement under the action of Vis light. Furthermore, FST/PPy photocatalyst could be easily recycled using a magnet.
