ABSTRACT
Well-dispersed Pt quantum dots (QDs) were the first to be successfully deposited onto a PDI supramolecular nanorods surface via a simple in situ chemical reduction. Under visible light irradiation, Pt QDs/PDI composites displayed excellent photocatalytic property in the degradation of phenol. The optimum 1 wt% Pt QDs/PDI composite was found to be 6.2 times greater than pure PDI supramolecular nanorods for the degradation rate constant (k). The enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the rapid transfer and efficient separation of photogenerated carriers, originating from the effective trapping and transporting of electrons by Pt QDs. At the same time, Pt QDs were also loaded as active sites during the photocatalytic reaction. Moreover, the 1 wt% Pt QDs/PDI composite was found to have high photocatalytic stability and cycle utilization, suggesting its great potential in the area of water environmental purification.
