摘要

The present study reports the application of three electrodes, consisting of exfoliated graphite (EG), EGand zirconium oxide (EG-ZrO 2 ), and EG and silver-doped zirconium oxide (EG/Ag-ZrO 2 ) in acomparative photoelectrochemical degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye in water under visible lightirradiation. The Ag-ZrO 2 is prepared using a sol-gel method and used in the fabrication of EG/Ag-ZrO 2electrodes via a wet solution method. The morphologies, crystalline structures, andsurface/physicochemical properties of the nanocomposites are characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, andUV-Vis, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopies. The SEM results show that ZrO 2 and Ag-ZrO 2 are evenlydispersed on the surfaces of EG. The XRD and Raman analyses reveal that ZrO 2 exists in the tetragonalphase. The modification of ZrO 2 with EG and Ag results in electrodes with strong absorption in thevisible light region. All fabricated electrodes display the capacity to degrade MB, with EG/Ag-ZrO 2exhibiting the highest degradation efficiency and EG the lowest. The electrode with the highestefficiency (EG/Ag-ZrO 2 ) is used in optimization studies, which identify the optimum conditions requiredfor maximizing the efficiency of the degradation process. In addition, the EG/Ag-ZrO 2 is used in thedegradation of MB via photolysis, as well as electrochemical and photoelectrochemical methods. Thephotoelectrochemical method exhibits superior performance when compared to photolysis andphotocatalytic methods in the degradation of MB. The synergistic effects of Ag and ZrO 2 enhance theefficiency of EG/Ag-ZrO 2 toward the degradation of MB.
