Catalytic photooxidation of pentachlorophenol using semiconductor nanoclusters [electronic resource]

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a toxic chlorinated aromatic molecule widely used as fungicide, a bactericide and a wood preservation, and thus ubiquitous in the environment. The authors report photo-oxidation of PCP using a variety of nanosize semiconductor metal oxides and sulfides in both aqueous and...

520 3 |a Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a toxic chlorinated aromatic molecule widely used as fungicide, a bactericide and a wood preservation, and thus ubiquitous in the environment. The authors report photo-oxidation of PCP using a variety of nanosize semiconductor metal oxides and sulfides in both aqueous and polar organic solvents and compare the photo-oxidation kinetics of these nanoclusters to widely studied bulk powders like Degussa P-25 TiO₂ and CdS. They study both the light intensity dependence of PCP photooxidation for nanosize SnO₂ and the size dependence of PCP photooxidation for both nanosize SnO₂ and MoS₂. They find an extremely strong size dependence for the latter which they attribute to its size-dependent band gap and the associated change in redox potentials due to quantum confinement of the hole-electron pair. The authors show that nanosize MoS₂ with a diameter of d=3.0 nm and an absorbance edge of ∼450 nm is a very effective photooxidation catalyst for complete PCP mineralization, even when using only visible light irradiation.
