Abstract

Abstract: To conquer the low light utilization efficiency of traditional photocatalysts‐polymer composites with core‐shell structure, and boost the adsorption efficiency of functional polymer in the composites. Photocatalysts surface‐engineered hollow polymer spheres are successfully synthesized by a Pickering emulsion polymerization method for removal of organic pollutants from water. Batch experiments (phenol as a model molecular, BiOI0.5 Cl0.5 as a model photocatalysts) showed that the removal efficiency of photocatalysts surface‐engineered hollow polymer spheres was higher than that of solid polymer spheres. The significant increase in removal efficiency suggests that photocatalysts surface‐engineered hollow polymer spheres might serve as powerful agents in treating organics‐polluted water. Abstract : Photocatalysts surface‐engineered polymeric absorbents with hollow structure for efficient enrichment and degradation of aqueous organic wastes were synthesized using a facile Pickering emulsion polymerization method.
