Abstract
Plasma modification is an effective way to improve the catalytic activities of materials.Firstly,Co2(OH)2CO3 precursor was synthesized by a hydrothermal method.Then,the precursor was subjected to the oxygen atmosphere low-temperature plasma, and the surface modified Co3O4 catalyst (Co3O4-P) was obtained,which was further characterized the XRD,SEM,H2-TPR,O2-TPD,TEM,XPS,FTIR,Raman spectrum and UV-visible spectrum.The results demonstrate that plasma treatment could reduce the average valence state of Co elements in Co3O4 to form more defective sites on the catalyst surface,and lower the Co-O bond energy of Co3O4 to improve its low temperature reduction performance. Under the irradiation of full solar spectrum light with intensity of 776 mW/cm2, reaction space velocity of 30 000 mL/(g·h)and toluene concentration of 500 μg/g,the toluene degradation performance of the Co3O4-P catalyst could reach 100.0%,which was approximately twice that of the Co3O4 catalyst (Co3O4-T) prepared by thermal calcination.
