乙烯是果蔬采摘后腐烂变质的主要因素, 如何减少或去除果蔬贮藏过程中释放的乙烯, 是果蔬保鲜领域亟待解决的问题。本工作采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了一系列金属泡沫镍网负载TiO₂/WO₃薄膜催化剂, 采用不同手段对样品进行表征分析, 并以此薄膜为催化剂, 考察紫外光下乙烯催化降解性能。结果表明: TiO₂/WO₃成功负载在泡沫镍网表面。TiO₂与WO₃复合后形成了异质结, 抑制了电子-空穴对的复合, 样品的禁带宽度减小, 吸光度增强, 光催化性能提升。TiO₂/WO₃在紫外光下展现出良好的光催化活性和光催化稳定性, 当WO₃占TiO₂质量百分数为6%时, 光催化活性最高, 光催化乙烯速率常数为0.0332 min ^-1, 是TiO₂的9.48倍, 但是过量的WO₃会成为电子-空穴的复合中心, 降低光催化活性。研究还对紫外光下泡沫镍网负载TiO₂/WO₃薄膜的光催化降解乙烯机理进行了探讨。

Ethylene is the main factor of postharvest spoilage of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, how to reduce or remove the ethylene released during the storage of fruits and vegetables is a problem to be solved. In this study, a series of nickel foam supported TiO₂/WO₃ were prepared by Sol-Gel method. The samples were characterized by different methods. The photocatalytic degradation activity of ethylene under ultraviolet light irradiation was investigated. The results show that TiO₂/WO₃ film is successfully supported on the nickel foam, and there formed heterojunction between TiO₂ and WO₃, which efficiently enhanced the separation and transfer rates of photogenerated electron and hole. The narrowed band-gap also leads to a red shift of optical absorbance and high photoactivity. The photocatalytic activity and stability of TiO₂/WO₃ were excellent under UV light irradiation. When the mass percentage of WO₃ is 6% of TiO₂, the photocatalytic ethylene degradation of the TiO₂/WO₃ composite film reaches maximum, and the degradation rate constant is almost 9.8 times as that of TiO₂. The mechanism of photocatalytic degradation of ethylene by TiO₂/WO₃ supported on nickel foam under ultraviolet light irradiation was also discussed.
