Preparation and characterization of ZnTiO<Subscript>3</Subscript>–TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/pillared montmorillonite composite catalyst for enhanced photocatalytic activity

ZnTiO₃–TiO₂/organic pillared montmorillonite (pMt) composite catalyst was successfully prepared in this paper by immobilizing ZnTiO₃–TiO₂ onto pMt. The composition and texture of the prepared composite catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, ultraviolet–visible light (UV–Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity was tested via photocatalytic degradation of methyl blue (MB) under both visible irradiation and UV light. The results indicated that the ZnTiO₃–TiO₂/pMt composite catalyst had an apparent absorption at the area of visible irradiation, and exhibited a higher efficiency of photocatalytic degredation of MB under visible irradiation. This was due to the heterostructure of ZnTiO₃–TiO₂, and the mesoporous structure and specific surface area of the ZnTiO₃–TiO₂/pMt composite. In addition, the results of the radical scavenging experiments showed that the holes and superoxide radicals are responsible for the degradation of MB under visible irradiation.     

Single-step solvothermal synthesis of mesoporous anatase TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites for the abatement of organic pollutants

In the present work, we have fabricated a novel mesoporous TiO₂–rGO nanocomposite by a facile one-step solvothermal method using titanic sulfate as the TiO₂ source. The as-prepared composites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction; UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and photoluminence spectra. In situ nucleation and anchoring of TiO₂ nanoparticles onto a graphene sheet is favorable fpr forming an intimate interfacial contact, and the chemically bonded TiO₂–rGO nanocomposites commendably enhanced their photocatalytic activity in the photodegradation of rhodamine B and phenol. The high photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized nanocomposites are primarily ascribed to the mesoporous structure, efficient charge transportation and separation with enhanced visible light absorption, which come from the appealing nanoarchitecture, for instance, ultra-dispersed and ultra-small TiO₂ nanocrystals along with intimate and absolute interfacial contact between the TiO₂ nanocrystals and the graphene sheet.     

Photocatalytic degradation of dimethyl phthalate ester using novel hydrophobic TiO2 pillared montmorillonite photocatalyst

TiO₂ pillared montmorillonites were prepared by introducing Ti⁴⁺ into a layer of montmorillonite modified with or without cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The components and texture of the prepared composites were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron misroscopy. The adsorption and photocatalytic degradation performance of a model environmental endocrine disruptor, dimethyl phthalate ester, were investigated using this newly prepared hydrophobic TiO₂ pillared montmorillonite photocatalyst. The adsorption of dimethyl phthalate ester from water varied from 9% to 28% on the prepared hydrophobic photocatalyst. Although the experimental results showed that the photocatalytic activity of the hydrophobic photocatalyst was slightly lower than that of hydrophilic one, electron spin resonance verified that hydroxyl radicals were also generated in hydrophobic TiO₂ pillared montmorillonite photocatalyst under UV irradiation. To elucidate the decomposition mechanism of dimethyl phthalate ester, 12 main photocatalytic intermediates were identified during the photocatalytic degradation process, and a plausible degradation mechanism was also proposed.     

Template‐free Fabrication of Hierarchical Macro‐/mesoporous N‐doped TiO2/graphene Oxide Composites with Enhanced Visible‐light Photocatalytic Activity

Hierarchical macro‐/mesoporous N‐doped TiO₂/graphene oxide (N‐TiO₂/GO) composites were prepared without using templates by the simple dropwise addition mixed solution of tetrabutyl titanate and ethanol containg graphene oxide (GO) to the ammonia solution, and then calcined at 350 °C. The as‐prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller (BET) surface area, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV‐Vis absorption spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange in an aqueous solution under visible‐light irradiation. The results show that N‐TiO₂/GO composites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity. GO content exhibited an obvious influence on photocatalytic performance, and the optimal GO addition content was 1 wt%. The enhanced photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the synergetic effects of three factors including the improved visible light absorption, the hierarchical macro‐mesoporous structure, and the efficient charge separation by GO.     

Rapid Fabrication of CdS Nanocrystals with Well Mesoporous Structure Under Ultrasound Irradiation at Room Temperature

Sphere-like mesoporous CdS nanocrystals with high crystallinity and big surface area were successfully fabricated by ultrasound irradiation at room temperature. The as-synthesized CdS with and without ultrasound irradiation was investigated by the characterizations of X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) surface areas. The photocatalytic activity of the CdS was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange under visible light(λ>420 nm) irradiation. A possible mechanism for the formation of the CdS nanocrystals with mesoporous structure under ultrasound irradiation was proposed. The results show that both the template role of the triblock copolymer of P123 and the effect of ultrasound-induced aggregation are mainly responsible for the formation of mesoporous structure. On the other hand, the energy generated from acoustic cavitation can effectively accelerate the crystallization process of the amorphous CdS.     

Preparation,Characterization and Photocatalytic Activity of Lanthanum Doped Mesoporous Titanium Dioxide

Lanthanum doped mesoporous titanium dioxide photocatalysts with different La content were synthesized by template method using tetrabutyltitanate (Ti(OC₄H₉)₄) as precursor and Pluronic P123 as template. The catalysts were characterized by thermogravimetric dif-ferential thermal analysis, N₂ adsorption-desorption measurements, X-ray diffraction, and UV-Vis adsorption spectroscopy. The effect of La³⁺ doping concentration from 0.1% to 1% on the photocatalytic activity of mesoporous TiO₂ was investigated. The characterizations indicated that the photocatalysts possessed a homogeneous pore diameter of about 10 nm with high surface area of 165 m²/g. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements in-dicated the presence of C in the doped samples in addition to La. Compared with pure mesoporous TiO₂, the La-doped samples extended the photoabsorption edge into the visible light region. The results of phenol photodecomposition showed that La-doped mesoporous TiO₂ exhibited higher photocatalytic activities than pure mesoporous TiO₂ under UV and visible light irradiation.     

Modification of the Optical and Electronic Properties of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> By N Anion-Doping for Augmentation of the Visible Light Assisted Photocatalytic Performance

In this work, a nitrogen-doped anatase TiO₂ nanocrystal is prepared by a modified sol-gel preparation method using the nonionic surfactant (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate) as a structural controller and a soft template. The as-prepared samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, UVVis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. Then the photocatalytic activity of these samples is assessed by the photocatalytic oxidation of phenol under visible light irradiation. The phenol concentration is measured using a UV-Vis spectrometer. Experimental results show that N-doping leads to an excellent visible light photocatalytic activity of the TiO₂ nanocatalyst. Furthermore, the formation energy and electronic structure of pure and N-doped anatase TiO₂ are described by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It is found that N-doping narrowed the band gap of bare TiO₂, which leads to an excellent visible light photocatalytic activity of N–TiO₂ nanocatalysts. Therefore, the prepared N–TiO₂ photocatalyst is expected to find the use in organic pollutant degradation under solar light illumination.

The catalytic activity of mesoporous TiO₂ and nanocomposites were assessed by examining the degradation of rhodamine B as model aqueous solution under visible light. CNTs are facilitating the photocatalytic activity of mesoporous TiO₂ in the degradation of rhodamine B efficiently.

Characterization of Visible Light Response N-F Codoped TiO2 Photocatalyst Prepared by Acid Catalyzed Hydrolysis

N-F codoped TiO₂ (TONF) photocatalysts were prepared using acid catalyzed hydrolysis method from mixed aqueous solution of TiCl₄ and NH₄F. The photocatalytic activity of the TONF was evaluated through the degradation of phenol under both visible and UV light irradiation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and N₂ adsorption isotherm were used to characterize the obtained powders. The results showed that N-F codoped TiO₂ exhibited significant improvement of visible light catalytic activity. N-F codoping could improve dispersion of TiO₂, inhibit particle size agglomeration, and retard phase transformation. Doped N could extend the light response of TiO₂ to visible light region. In addition, narrower band gap formed by F-doping was beneficial to the high visible light photocatalytic activity.
