Synthesis of nanosized TiO2 particles in reverse micelle systems and their photocatalytic activity for degradation of toluene in gas phase

Nanosized pure TiO₂ particles with high crystallinity and large surface area were prepared by hydrolysis of tetrabutyl titanate in water/Triton X-100/isooctane reverse micelle solutions as reaction media followed by hydrothermal treatment to improve crystallinity. The prepared TiO₂ nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, BET, TGA, FT-IR and TEM. The size of ultrafine particles was controlled by changing the water content of the reverse micelle solution. The TiO₂ particles showed monodispersity, large surface area and high degrees of crystallinity and thermostability. The photocatalytic activity of the TiO₂ particles was evaluated by decomposition of toluene in the gas phase. The activity of the TiO₂ nanoparticles was higher than that of commercially available anatase fine particles, such as ST-01, which is one of the most active photocatalysts for degradation of organic compounds in the gas phase.     

微波辅助溶剂热合成In-Si共改性TiO_2的增强光催化性能

利用微波辅助溶剂热法合成了In-Si共改性的TiO2光催化剂.粉末X射线衍射(XRD)、激光拉曼(Raman)光谱、N2吸脱附(BET)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、光致发光(PL)光谱和紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)等实验表明,尽管掺杂和改性后TiO2结晶度略有降低,但不影响光催化剂锐钛相的形成.Si掺杂入TiO2晶格使颗粒变小,比表面积变大.In不能进入TiO2晶格,在TiO2表面形成了In2O3.罗丹明B(RhB)降解实验显示,In-Si共改性TiO2表现出很高的紫外和可见光催化活性,Si:In:Ti的摩尔比为0.03:0.02:1的样品(IST-2)光催化活性最高,紫外光下3 min即可将RhB降解完全,可见光下120 min RhB降解率为97%,这是由材料的高表面积,In2O3-TiO2复合半导体之间高效电荷转移及染料敏化等共同作用所致.对于苯酚,光催化降解则相对缓慢,700 min内尚不能降解完全.

One Step Preparation of Highly Dispersed TiO2 Nanoparticles

A facile approach was developed to prepare highly dispersed TiO₂ nanoparticles with selected phase. The crystallization phase of the nanoparticles can be easily tuned from anatase to rutile by the dosage of hydrochloric acid in the reaction system. The crystallite size of the as-prepared anatase TiO₂ nanoparticles was ca. 3.2 nm with high dispersion. A transparent TiO₂ colloid was obtained by dispersing the as-prepared anatase TiO₂ nanoparticles in deionized water without any organic additives added. The concentration of TiO₂-H₂O colloid can be as high as 1600 g/L. The optical transmittance of TiO₂-H₂O colloid with a low concentration was nearly 100% in the visible region. Furthermore, anatase TiO₂ nanoparticles(TiO₂-NPs) showed superior photocatalytic performance compared to rutile TiO₂-NPs.     

Foam-structured Activated Carbon-ceramic as TiO2 Supports for Photocatalytic Degradation of Phenol

An activated foam-structured carbon-ceramic(AFCC) was prepared and investigated as TiO₂ support for the photocatalytic degradation of phenol. AFCC and TiO₂/AFCC catalysts were characterized by N₂ adsorption- desorption and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The effects of AFCC on the photocatalytic activity and the crystallinity of TiO₂ were studied. The results show that the crystallinity and anatase/rutile ratio of TiO₂ loaded on AFCC could be significantly influenced by the calcination temperature. The degradation rate of phenol benefited from the synergistic effects of the adsorption of activated carbon(AC) and the photocatalysis of TiO₂, which suggests that a high surface area of AC is essential to achieve high degradation rates and efficiencies. It was found that the larger mean cell size of AFCC increased the light transmission within the foam.

Anatase/Bronze TiO2 Heterojunction: Enhanced Photocatalysis and Prospect in Photothermal Catalysis

TiO₂ heterojunction with different TiO₂ phases has been widely adopted for enhanced photocatalysis. Therein, a less common anatase/bronze TiO₂ heterojunction, also named as anatase/TiO₂(B) heterojunction, has recently drawn increasing interest. In this review, the structural advantages of anatase/bronze TiO₂ heterojunction for enhanced photocatalysis is highlighted in terms of less lattice mismatch and better charge separation at the interface. Besides photocatalysis, the anatase/bronze TiO₂ heterojunction is proven a promising candidate for heat-assisted photocatalysis, named as photothermal catalysis. Further, the anatase/bronze TiO₂ heterojunction can serve as a good model to evaluate the strategy for improved photocatalysis and even photothermal catalysis. Herein, the recent attempts on boosting the photocatalytic and photothermal catalytic performance of anatase/bronze TiO₂ heterojunction are summarized. It is expected that this review would arouse renewed interest for revisiting TiO₂ heterojunction in photocatalysis, photothermal catalysis and other advanced photocatalysis.

Carbon-containing nano-titania prepared by chemical vapor deposition and its visible-light-responsive photocatalytic activity

Ultraviolet and visible-light-responsive titania was synthesized and employed in the NO_x photomineralization. A thermal decomposition reaction of titanium isopropoxide was carried out with a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), enabling continuous production of TiO₂ nanoparticles. Carbon-containing titanium dioxide with the anatase phase prepared at 500 °C under nitrogen atmosphere exhibited high photocatalytic activity for NO oxidation under visible-light illumination. Experimental results indicate that up to 48% removal of NO_x can be achieved in a continuous flow type of reaction system under visible-light illumination (green LED). The chamber temperature in this MOCVD process plays an important role in lattice structure formation, and also affected TiO₂ carbon content. The carbonaceous species on the TiO₂ surface, shown by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and Raman, UV–vis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies (XPS), is important to the visible-light absorption and visible-light-catalytic mineralization of NO_x.     

Synthesis of Gd-N Codoped Porous TiO2 Photocatalyst and Its Enhanced Photocatalytic Activities

Visible-light-active Gd-N codoped porous TiO₂(Gd-N-TiO₂) photocatalyst was fabricated by an evapora-tion-induced self-assembly route using surfactants as structure-directed agents. As-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) method, and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. The results indicated that synergistic reaction occurred when codoping with Gd³⁺ and N, which enhanced the light absorption properties of TiO₂. Irregular worm-like particles with wide interparticle spaces were clearly observed by TEM. The average particle size of Gd-N-TiO₂ decreased to ca. 8 nm because co-doping inhibited the particles growth significantly. Thus, the specific surface area of Gd-N-TiO₂(198.7 m²/g) was higher than that of Degussa P25 TiO₂(50 m²/g). Gd-N-TiO₂ exhibited a high photocatalytic activity toward methyl orange degradation under UV-Vis or visible-light irradiation. The Gd-N-TiO₂ catalyst also presented a stable performance without losing activity after four successive photocatalytic experiments. The facile synthesis and excellent activity of Gd-N-TiO₂ indicated its great potential as industrial catalysts for wastewater treatment.     

负载CuO的Ti~(3+)/TiO_2催化剂制备及其光催化甲苯降解性能

通过在锐钛矿TiO_2载体表面上负载Cu-BTC(BTC,1,3,5-苯甲酸)前驱体,还原处理制备光催化剂CuO-Ti~(3+)/TiO_2(Cu-TiMB),对其在可见光条件下气相甲苯净化催化性能进行了研究。结果表明,该改良方法制备的CuO-Ti~(3+)/TiO_2(CuTiM B)催化剂的活性是浸渍法所得催化剂CuO-TiO_2(Cu-TiD)的2.68倍。CuO-Ti~(3+)/TiO_2(Cu-TiMB)具有更大的比表面积(147 m2/g)和较小的颗粒粒径(0.45μm),呈现多孔状,CuO的分散度较高;催化剂表面Ti~(3+)提供了大量的氧缺位,在400-800 nm波段的光响应能力显著增强。CuO-Ti~(3+)/TiO_2(Cu-TiMB)催化剂中Cu~(2+)、Cu~+与Ti~(3+)形成的异质结构进一步增多了氧缺位数量,延缓e--h+的复合时间;氧缺陷增强了捕获吸附氧能力,通过金属氧化物价态变化增强化学吸附能力,提高了光催化性能。     

Thermal behavior of nitrided TiO2/In2O3 by TG–DSC–MS combined with PulseTA

TiO₂/InN (In/(Ti + In) = 6.5:100 mol) was prepared by nitridation of TiO₂/In₂O₃ by NH₃ at 580 °C for 8 h. Only the anatase TiO₂ phase was detected in the XRD measurements. The highly dispersed InN clusters on the surface of anatase TiO₂ nanocrystals were beyond the detection limit of XRD. In order to confirm the existence of InN in the products of nitridation, thermogravimetry–differential scanning calorimetry–mass spectrometry (TG–DSC–MS) coupling techniques were used for a simultaneous characterizing study of the changes of mass, enthalpy and determination of the evolved gases during the thermal decomposition of the InN and the nitrided TiO₂/In₂O₃ samples. Moreover, pulse thermal analysis (PulseTA) was combined with TG–DSC–MS for the quantitative calibration of the evolved nitrogen formed during the thermal decomposition of the InN and the nitrided TiO₂/In₂O₃. The applied technique enabled identification and quantification of the InN in the products of the nitridation of TiO₂/In₂O_3.     

Surface modification of mesoporous membranes by fluoro-silane coupling reagent for CO2 separation

The potential of hybrid organic–inorganic membranes for separating organic molecules from air, based on solubility selective mechanism, was evaluated. Alumina and titana membranes with average pore size near 4 nm were surface modified using trimethoxysilane fluorinated coupling reagent. The permeabilities to helium, nitrogen, methane, ethane, propane, butane and carbon dioxide were evaluated at feed pressures lying between (1.5 × 10⁵ and 3.5 × 10⁵ Pa) 1.5 and 3.5 bar and permeate outlet near 1 × 10⁵ Pa (1 bar). The permeabilities of the grafted membranes generally decreased by about two to three orders of magnitude compared with the untreated membranes. The CO₂/N₂ permselectivity increased significantly in the case of the TiO₂ grafted membrane. The membranes performances were compared and the TiO₂ grafted membrane exhibits higher permselectivity and permeability, so that, it is a good candidate for CO₂ to N₂ separation and CO₂ to hydrocarbon separation.
