ABSTRACT
The photocatalytic degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is advancing, yet the efficiency of degradation within the visible spectral range continues to encounter significant challenges. In this study, two biochar-based organic semiconductor photocatalysts, Active Carbon@PTQ10 (5,8-Dibromo-6,7-difluoro-2-(2-hexyldecoxy)quinoxaline; trimethyl-(5-trimethylstannylthiophen-2-yl)stannane) ITIC-Th (Propanedinitrile,2,2'-[[6,6,12,12-tetrakis(5-hexyl-2-thienyl)-6,12-dihydrodithieno[2,3-d 2',3'-d'] -s-indaceno[1,2-b5,6-b'] dithiophene-2,8-diyl] bis[methylidyne(3-oxo-1H-indene-2,1(3H)-diylidene)]] bis-) (AC@PI) and Active Carbon@PTQ10 PC71BM (6,6)-phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester), were synthesized using a wide bandgap material, PTQ10, as the electron donor, along with a non-fullerene material, ITIC-Th, and a fullerene material, PC71BM, as the acceptors, respectively. Under optimized conditions, AC@PI degraded 93.4 % of 2,2 ',4,4 '-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 47) within 60 min. By incorporating a non-fullerene acceptor (ITIC-Th), AC@PI exhibits a larger surface photopressure, a lower hole-electron transfer ratio, a broader absorption spectrum (400 - 1000 nm), and enhanced structural stability. AC@PI can generate photogenerated electrons and holes, as well as superoxide anions (O2-) and hydroxyl radicals (OH), through type II heterojunctions, which contributes to its exceptional properties. This study synthesized novel organic semiconductor catalysts that offer a green, efficient, and non-toxic method for the degradation of aromatic pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls.
