基于氧化锌纳米线的平面微流体反应器光催化性能研究

The photocatalytic technology has been extensively studied during the past decades and it exhibits great application potential in decomposing the pollutants in aqueous solution. However, nanostructured photocatalyst as the core of the photocatalytic technology is difficult to be integrated into devices, which hinders the development of photocatalysis heavily. In this project, we would develop a novel and high-efficiency immobilized photocatalytic reactor by fabricating a planar microfluidic reactor with ZnO nanowires as the photocatalyst. The planar microfluidic reactor is obtained by extending the active area of traditional microfluidic reactor in horizontal direction while large-area and uniform ZnO nanowires fabricated on the active area are utilized as immobilized catalyst. Firstly we will build the mass-flow model of the planar microfluid flow based on the microfluidic dynamics theory, to optimize the structural design of the photocatalytic reactor, to improve the integrated fabrication process, and to experimentally investigate the effect of the planar microfluid flow and device structures on the photocatalytic performance. Then we will improve the hydrothermal method to adjust the characteristic morphology of ZnO nanowires, and to investigate the effect of ZnO nanowire morphology on the photocatalytic performance. For further improving the photocatalytic activity and stability of ZnO catalysts, surface modification methods based on ZnO nanowires will be explored. In conclusion, through researching on the ZnO-nanowire-based planar microfluidic reactor, we aim to effectively integrate the microfluidic technology, nanotechnology and micro/nano fabrication technology with the photocatalytic technology in order to develop an efficient and effective photocatalytic reactor, providing technical support and theoretical guidance for the large-scale practical application of photocatalytic technology.
