摘要
Most of the reduction processes for Cr (VI) removal tend to be available only at the acidic condition and the capable extent of pH is limited. Here, we developed a facile strategy for constructing CuS/TiO 2 architectures via a facile precipitation process. The as-prepared urchin-like CuS microspheres possessed hierarchical/large porous structure and unique electrical structure, which provided a strong ability to capture the Cr(VI) ions in water. Once CuS microspheres were combined with TiO 2 crystals (P25), a surprised high removal efficiency for Cr(VI) was obtained. With optimal molar ratio of CuS:TiO 2 (0.72:1), 4.4 and 1.3 times in Cr(VI) removal rate were obtained with respect to pure TiO 2 and CuS. The high removal efficiency was induced by the distinct synergistic role of strong adsorption and photocatalytic reduction originated from unique electrical structure in CuS/TiO 2 hetero-structure. Moreover, these novel CuS/TiO 2 architectures possess promising application for Cr 6+ effluents remediation in a wide range of pH and with co-existing anions and cations. Synergistic role of efficient adsorption and superior photocatalytic reduction enable these urchin-like hierarchical CuS/TiO 2 architectures exhibit efficiently performance for Cr (VI) removal in wastewater. • Facilely construct urchin-like hierarchical CuS/TiO 2 architectures via precipitation. • Adsorbed Cr(VI) can be quickly reduced to Cr(III) by photo-generated electrons. • Strong synergistic role arises from efficient adsorption and superior reduction. • CuS/TiO 2 composites are promising for efficient Cr (VI) removal in wastewater.
