Here, we demonstrate a g-C3N4@Au@SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ composite as a novel efficient self-luminous visible-light plasmonic photocatalyst for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and hydrogen evolution from water around the clock. The g-C3N4@Au@SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ composite was prepared by integrating a g-C3N4@Au plasmonic photocatalyst composite with a SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ long-afterglow phosphor through a simple Pechini-type sol–gel method followed by a mechanical mixing and high-temperature calcination process. Owing to the synergistic effect of surface plasmon resonance of the Au nanoparticles in g-C3N4 and long-lasting phosphorescence of the SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ phosphor, the prepared g-C3N4@Au@SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ composite shows a continuous and efficient photocatalytic activity for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and hydrogen evolution from water in a sunless environment. The current research study could provide a new strategy for designing a highly efficient composite photocatalyst for solar environmental purification and hydrogen energy production around the clock.
We report luminous polylactic acid (PLA) composite prepared via a solvent casting method using different amounts of phosphor strontium aluminate (SrAl2O4: Eu2+ and Dy3+) (SAO). The reason for doing this is that the changes of fluorescence and mechanical properties in the composites with different SAO contents can be directly evaluated. The SAO particles should have a variety of excellent characteristics in the PLA matrix, among which dispersibility and compatibility are particularly important; so, they can be modified by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) to achieve the target characteristics. The results showed that the fluorescence and mechanical properties were affected by SAO addition. The mechanical properties significantly improved with 5 wt% SAO; further, addition had no impact. And the emission band of fluorescence and phosphorescence is just at the peak of 524 nm. The composites with 15 wt% SAO have the best fluorescence properties. The fluorescence decreased with further doping. Fluorescence decay curves with various amounts of SAO particles show a similar tendency as pure SAO particles; the speed of decrease in afterglow intensity was higher for the first 30 min. In addition, the detailed morphological scanning and study by scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that the particles had good adhesion to the matrix. In conclusion, the concentration of SAO into the PLA matrix impacts the fluorescence and mechanical properties of a SAO/PLA composite material.
