摘 要 以钨酸钠与氢氟酸为原料聚合得到氟取代的十聚钨酸(F-H4W10O32),并采用FT-IR,UV-vis和19F-NMR进行表征.由FT-IR和19F-NMR的表征结果得出,F原子可能通过取代W-Oc-W键的侧桥氧原子而被结合到十聚钨酸盐的框架中,显著改善了十聚钨酸盐的稳定性及其对水溶液中H2O2的活化能力.在紫外光照射下催化过氧化氢(H2O2)氧化降解的甲基橙(MO)实验显示出氟取代的十聚钨酸出色的光催化活性,其与亲本H4W10O32相比,降解速率增加到1.4~2.0倍.基于UV-Vis光谱表征,提出了一种合理的光催化氧化机理.

Abstract A fluorine-substituted decatungstate acid (F-H4W10O32) was conveniently synthesized via a polymerization of sodium tungstate with hydrofluoric acid and characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis and 19F-NMR. And its photo-catalytic performance was evaluated using the oxidative degradation of methyl orange (MO) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under ultraviolet light irradiation. Our results indicated that F atoms, as supported by FT-IR and 19F-NMR, are likely incorporated into the framework of decatungstate via replacing side-bridged oxygen atoms of W-Oc-W bonds, which can significantly improve the stability of decatungstate and its activation capacity to H2O2 in aqueous solution. As a result, it demonstrated an outstanding photo-catalytic activity for the oxidative degradation of MO by H2O2, achieving about 1.4~2.0 fold increase in degradation rate compared to the parent H4W10O32. Based on UV-Vis spectral characterizations, a reasonable photo-catalysis oxidation mechanism was proposed.

During the past few decades, photo-catalytic oxidation technique has received extensive attention because of its potential applications in the synthesis of fine chemicals and especially environmental treatments[1-3]. Meanwhile, a large number of metal oxide and sulfide semi-conductors[4-6] and polyoxometalates[7-9] have been applied to effectively photo-catalyze the oxidative degradation of organic wastewater and the removal of waste gas. However, the photo-catalytic activity of most semiconductors is limited by their poor adsorption capacity for the organic dyes and the rapid recombination rate of their photo-generated electron-hole pairs. In general, the photo-catalytic performance of semiconductors can be markedly improved via the doping of various metal cations[10-11] and non-metal anions[12-23]. Among these doping agents, the doping of F- anion seems to be particularly effective and can exponentially increase the photo-catalytic activity of some semiconductors such as TiO2 [20,24-28], SrTiO3 [29], ZnWO4 [19, 30],Bi2WO6 [31],Bi2O3 [32] and BiPO4 [33]. The favorable effect of F- doping on the photo-catalytic activity of semiconductors may be originated from the following three reasons: i) the polarizability and dipole moment of semiconductor may be increased via F- anion replacing its lattice oxygen, which can lead to the improved adsorption capacity to organic contaminants in wastewater[33]. ii) F- doping can efficiently reduce the recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs on a semiconductor and thus improve the oxidative capacity of the photo-generated holes via lowering valence band edge[32]. And iii) F- doping may increase the surface hydroxyl density of semiconductor, which can efficiently induce the generation of hydroxyl radicals and improve the surface charge transfer efficiency[31, 34-35].endprint
Polyoxometalates have been extensively studied over the past decades with some of them possessing interesting applications in catalysis[36]. Among them, decatungstate anion (W10O324-) is one of the most promising examples, due to its high photo-catalytic activity in the conversion of organic compounds to the corresponding oxidative products under ultraviolet or visible light[37-44]. But, it can only be used in small amounts as a photo-catalyst for the purification of wastewater[45-47] because of its instability in water. In order to solve this problem efficiently, we are inspired by the above success examples of F-doped semiconductors and for the first time we tried to prepare an F-substituted decatungstate acid (F-H4W10O32) via a polymerization of sodium tungstate with hydrofluoric acid. Here, we report the initial results obtained from the synthesis of F-H4W10O32 and the effect of F doping on the stability of decatungstate acid in water and its photo-catalytic performance for the oxidative degradation of methyl orange (MO) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under ultraviolet light irradiation.
1 Experimental
1.1 Materials and apparatus
Materials and regents used in this study were sodium tungstate (Na2WO4·2H2O), 40% hydrofluoric acid (HF), 30% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 12-phosphotungstic acid (H3PW12O40), tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBABr), acetonitrile (CH3CN) , concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl), methyl orange (MO), all of which were of analytical grade without further purification. Distilled water was used throughout this experiment.
1.2 Characterization of samples
Liquid UV-Vis spectra of the samples in aqueous solution were recorded from 200 to 450 nm on UV-2450 spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Japan) and their transmission FT-IR spectra were recorded from 400 to 4 000 cm-1on a Nicolet Nexus 510 P FT-IR spectroscopy using a KBr disk. 19F-NMR spectrum of the sample F-H4W10O32 was recorded on the Bruker Avance-500 superconductive Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, and its W and F contents measured on a sequential X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF-1700, Shimadzu, Japan) with H3BO3 as a binder.
1.3 Preparation of catalysts
A preparation procedure of the F-substituted decatungstate acid is described as follows: Na2WO4·2H2O (001 mol) was dissolved with 10 mL H2O to obtain a solution under magnetic stirring. After adding 12 mL of 40% HF, the solution was heated to 70 ℃ and continuously stirred at this constant temperature for a sufficiently long time until it was completely evaporated to dryness. The resulting white solid was dissolved with a small amount of water, then filtered to remove insoluble NaF. Finally the filtrate obtained was evaporated to dryness to yield the product, marked as F-H4W10O32. The W and F content of F-H4W10O32 measured by XRF analysis was 92.75% and 2.16%, respectively, and the formula of as-prepared catalyst should be H4W10O30.75F2.5.endprint
