Preparation and Study of Lignin-based Composite Films with Photothermal-Engergy Generation and Photothermal-Antibacterial Performances
Sodium lignosulfonate(LSS)with good photothermal property and gold nanoparticles(Au NPs)with excellent localized surface plasmon resonance(LSS)were used as raw materials to fabricate LSS/PVA@Au composite films with synergistic photothermal effect through in situ blending strategy.During the preparation process,the functional groups on the LSS structure play an important role in dispersing,stabilizing,chelating and reducing Au3+.The existence of Au NPs makes the surface of the LSS/PVA@Au composite film rougher,with an average roughness of 30.3 nm,which also endows its stronger and wider absorption in the ultraviolet to near infrared region.The increase of LSS content is beneficial to the enhancement of photothermal property of the LSS/PVA composite material.The maximum temperature of the LSS50/PVA50 composite film can reach(120.6±3.1)℃ with thermal conversion efficiency of 27.61%under standard 5 sun irradiation.Benefiting from the synergistic photothermal effect of Au NPs,the highest temperature of(190.1±3.5)℃ can be attained for LSS50/PVA50@Aul composite film with thermal conversion efficiency of 42.47%.A thermoelectric generator are powered by LSS50/PVA50 and LSS50/PVA50@Aul composite films successfully,which can convert the heat absorbed into electric energy.The maximum voltage generated by LSS50/PVA50@Aul is(280.8±4.6)mV and the corresponding current is(48.9±1.9)mA under standard 5 sun irradiation.Due to the good photo-responsiveness to near infrared light(NIR),the LSS50/PVA50@Aul composite film also show satisfactory photothermal antibacterial performance.After 10 min irradiation of 1.47 W NIR,the antibacterial rates of E.coil and S.aureus can reach 99.5%and 99.2%,respectively.In summary,through a simple,green,and efficient composite blending strategy,abundant solar energy resources can be utilized effectively through the synergistic photothermal effect of LSS and Au NPs.Considering the satisfactory effective antibacterial activity of the LSS50/PVA50@Aul composite,this work may provide perspectives on the design of green photothermal antibacterial materials via pulp and paper industry waste lignin sulfonate as well as contributes to the enrichment of linin structure and chemistry.
