摘要

(TiO2–WO3)/Sr4Al14O25:Eu2+,Dy3+ heterojunction photocatalysts were prepared by coating (TiO2–WO3) nanoparticles onto a Sr4Al14O25 phosphor substrate using a hydrothermal synthesis. The photocatalytic properties were investigated with respect to various ratios of TiO2 to WO3 (10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, 0:10) and heat treatment temperatures ranging from 300 to 700 °C. The combination of TiO2 and WO3 enhanced photocatalytic efficiency by leveraging the high photocatalytic oxidation capability of TiO2 and the broad visible light absorption range of WO3. The photocatalytic response was analyzed through the photobleaching of methylene blue (MB) dye and the decomposition of toluene gas. In the hybrid photocatalyst of (TiO2–WO3) coated on Sr4Al14O25:Eu2+,Dy3+ long-lasting phosphor, the phosphor might act as an internal light source to accelerate or sustain photocatalytic reactivity, even in the absence of external light irradiation. The heterojunction of (TiO2–WO3) and Sr4Al14O25:Eu2+,Dy3+ reduced the energy band gap and enhanced visible light absorption, thereby improving photocatalytic reactivity. The 5:5 ratio of TiO2 to WO3 on Sr4Al14O25:Eu2+,Dy3+ showed excellent photocatalytic performance, decomposing over 80% degradation of methylene blue dye within 90 min and 67% of toluene gas within 90 min under visible-light irradiation. In particular, the persistent luminescence of Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅:Eu2⁺,Dy3⁺ enabled continuous photocatalytic activity even under dark condition, achieving ~ 67% decomposition of toluene gas after 180 min without light irradiation. The photocatalytic reactivity of (TiO2–WO3)/Sr4Al14O25:Eu2+,Dy3+ surpassed those of TiO2/Sr4Al14O25:Eu2+,Dy3+ and WO3/Sr4Al14O25:Eu2+,Dy3+, primarily due to the synergistic interaction between TiO2 and WO3.
