Preparation and Characterization of Nano-ZnFe2O4/TiO2 Films

The nano-ZnFe2O4/TiO2 films possess the functions of desulfurization and degradation for organic pollutants. The sols of ZnFe2O4/TiO2 were prepared by sol-gel method and coated on glass and porous ceramic by vertical coating and dipping-lift processes, respectively, and the samples were obtained after drying and sintering. The composition, appearance, absorption spectrum of the films, and the influence of the film on porous ceramic performances were analyzed using SEM, AFM, UV-Vis spectrometer, and mercury porosimeter, respectively, to determine the operation parameters of the multifunction porous ceramic elements for gas-purification.     

Photocatalytic Degradation of 4-Chlorophenol by Gd-Doped β-Bi2O3 Under Visible Light Irradiation

Chlorophenols are known as persistent organic pollutants.Therefore,research on the removal of chlorophenols has attracted widespread attention.Hereto,the photocatalytic degradation of 4-chlorophenol by Gd-doped β-Bi2O3 under visible light irradiation was studied.The results showed that Gd-doped β-Bi2O3 materials are efficient catalysts for the photocatalytic degradation of chlorophenols,and 2%(atomic traction)Gd-doped β-Bi2O3 exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity for 4-chlorophenol degradation,because doping an appropriate amount of Gd^3+ions can effectively reduce the recombination rate of the photogenerated e^-/h^+pairs and then enhance the photocatalytic performance.When the reaction was carried out at 25 ℃ for 6 h using the 2% Gd-doped/β-Bi2O3 micro/nano materials of 200 mg and at air flow rate of 40 mL/min,the degradation rate of 4-chlorophenol reached 92.3%.Additionally based on the analysis of the products,it was speculated that the dominant photocatalytic degradation mechanism of 4-chlorophenol by Gd-doped β-Bi2O3 under visible light irradiation is an oxidative process involving an attack by the hydroxyl radical.     

磷掺杂TiO2薄膜的制备与表征及其可见光照射下光催化降解邻苯二甲酸丁苄酯性能（英文）

P‐doped TiO2 (PTIO) thin‐films with different P contents were prepared using a sol‐gel method. The thin‐film samples were characterized using various techniques. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by decomposing butyl benzyl phthalate under visible‐light irradiation. The results showed that the transformation of anatase to the rutile phase was inhibited and grain growth of TiO2 was prevented by P doping. The results confirm that the doped P atoms existed in two chemical forms, and those incorporated in the TiO2 lattice may play a positive role in photocatalysis. The high photocatalytic activities of the PTIO thin‐films may be the result of extrinsic absorption through the creation of oxygen vacancies, rather than excitation of the intrinsic absorption band of bulk TiO2 . The PTIO can be recycled with little depression of the photocatalytic activity. After six cycles, the photocatalytic activity of the PTIO film was still higher than 98%.     

Tuning of NaTaO_3 Band Structure through Mn~（2＋） Ion Doping and the Enhanced Visible Light Response

Pure and Mn-doped NaTaO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple hydro- thermal method. XRD and XPS results suggested that manganese ions were successfully doped into the NaTaO3 crystalline in Mn2＋ state. UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra revealed the obvious red-shift in the series of manganese doped NaTaO3 nanoparticles, resulting in a decrease in the band gap of NaTaO3 with the increase of Mn2＋ doping concentration. The photo-degradation experiment indicated that manganese doped NaTaO3 showed good photocatalytic performance and methylene blue（MB） degradation is improved with lower doping concentration of manganese ions under visible light. The simulation of energy band structure by density functional theory unfolded that the substitution of Ta5＋ ions by Mn2＋ ions resulted in an intermediate band（IB） below the bottom of the conduction band（CB）, which was mainly attributed to the state of Mn 3d.     

Synergistic effects of carbon doping and coating of TiO2 with exceptional photocurrent enhancement for high performance H2 production from water splitting

The"one pot"simultaneous carbon coating and doping of TiO₂ materials by the hydrolysis of TiCl4 in fructose is reported.The synergistic effect of carbon doping and coating of TiO₂ to significantly boost textural,optical and electronic properties and photocurrent of TiO₂ for high performance visible light H2 production from water splitting has been comprehensively investigated.Carbon doping can significantly increase the thermal stability,thus inhibiting the phase transformation of the Titania material from anatase to rutile while carbon coating can suppress the grain aggregation of TiO₂.The synergy of carbon doping and coating can not only ensure an enhanced narrowing effect of the electronic band gap of TiO₂ thus extending the absorption of photocatalysts to the visible regions,but also promote dramatically the separation of electron-hole pairs.Owing to these synergistic effects,the carbon coated and doped TiO₂ shows much superior photocatalytic activity for both degradation of organics and photocatalytic/photoelectro chemical(PEC)water splitting under simulated sunlight illumination.The photocatalytic activity of obtained materials can reach 5,4 and 2 times higher than that of pristine TiO₂,carbon doped TiO₂ and carbon coated TiO₂,respectively in the degradation of organic pollutants.The carbon coated and doped TiO₂ materials exhibited more than 37 times and hundreds of times photocurrent enhancement under simulated sunlight and visible light,respectively compared to that of pristine TiO₂.The present work providing new comprehensive understanding on carbon coating and doping effect could be very helpful for the development of advanced TiO₂ materials for a large series of applications.     

TiO2胶粒在铝合金表面的电泳沉积及所制薄膜的光催化性能研究

TiO₂ membranes were prepared on aluminum-alloy thin plates by electrophoretic deposition and dip coating in a colloid solution of TiO₂, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ membrane was compared using ethylene as reactant, and the crystal and morphological structure of the membrane were characterized by XRD and SEM. The results showed that a more compact membrane with high loading of TiO₂ but lower photocatalytic activity of unit TiO₂ mass was obtained by electrophoresis compared with dip coating method. The addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the sol of TiO₂ could improve the specific photocatalytic activity (ethylene conversion per unit mass TiO₂ and unit area of membrane piece) of the electrophoresis-membrane prepared from the sol, but could not change the specific photocatalytic activity of the dip-coating membrane from the sol. The ethylene conversion on the electrophoresis membrane prepared from the sol containing PEG (50 g·L^-1) was 9 times of that on the dip coating membrane. The effect of PEG on the properties of electrophoresis-membrane of TiO₂ was attributed to the change of electrokinetic properties of sol. Addition of PEG decreased ζ potential value of the sol and the mobility of the sol particle, increased viscidity of the colloid, thus decreasing both the electrophoresis deposition velocity of colloid particles and the electroosmosis velocity of diffuse layer of colloid particles. These favored the formation of a low compact and porous membrane on the electrode in electric field, and thus increasing the availability of TiO₂ in photocatalytic process.     

Efficient degradation of methyl orange via multilayer films of titanium dioxide and silicotungstic acid

We report layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of TiO2 and H4 SiW12 O40 (SiW 12 ) multilayer film on silicon wafers and glass slides for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO). The photocatalytic efficiency of the obtained multilayer film increases along with the decrease of pH and salt concentration of the incubation solution. The results show that MO can be almost removed in pH2.0 solution without salt addition in the first 60 min incubation when MO concentration is lower than 15 mg/L. Different salts show an apparent inhibitory effect on photocatalytic degradation of MO with the order of ZnCl2 >KCl> NaCl>LiCl. The TiO2 /SiW12 multilayer film maintains photocatalytic activity even after five degradation cycles. The reaction of MO photodegradation accords with an apparent first-order dynamics.

The WO3 electrochromic film prepared from this doped four-member tungstic acid sol had excellent performance and longevity of service.     

A photoelectrochemical cell for pollutant degradation and simultaneous H_2 eneration

A visible-light driven photoelectrochemical(PEC) cell comprised of nanostructured BiVO_4 photoanode and Pt cathode was established for organic compounds degradation with simultaneous H_2 generation.BiVO_4 electrode film fabricated by a simple drip-coating method showed a porous nanostructure and an intense absorption in visible light range. The PEC process possesses a rate of about 0.3207 h 1 for MO degradation, which is 8 times and 64 times faster than electrocatalytic(EC) and photocatalytic(PC)process, respectively. A simultaneous H_2 generation via the PEC process was also observed and a rate of 34.44 μmol h~(-1)cm~(-2) for H_2 generation was measured, which is 3 folds more efficient than the EC process. The nanostructured BiVO_4 photoanode shows outstanding PEC photocurrent density and recycle performance. The proposed PEC system would be a promising strategy for wastewater treatment and energy recovery with an outstanding stability and recyclability performance.

陶瓷泡沫空气过滤器涂覆中孔TiO2薄膜用于室内空气净化中高效光催化降解NO

由于人们80%的时间呆在室内,室内空气的质量直接影响人类健康,因此近年来室内空气质量越来越受到人们的关注.室内污染物包括CO氮氧化物(NOx)和挥发性有机化合物(VOCs),它们给人体健康带来众多负面影响.更为重要的是,考虑到节能,现代建筑的空气密闭性大都较高,但这种减少吸入新鲜空气的设计直接导致室内各种污染物的累积.有些家用电器,如燃气灶和热水器,在使用的时候会涉及到煤、油和天然气的燃烧,特别是通风较差的情况下会成为室内主要的污染源.常规的治理技术,包括吸附和过滤,其成本相对较高,也不适用于低浓度污染物的治理.尤其是更换不及时的过滤器在排风系统中可能会成为VOCs的一个来源.因此,很有必要开发一种新型的技术以降低室内污染物的浓度和保持一个清洁的室内空气环境,从而保障人们的身体健康.光催化是去除室内空气污染物的有效方法.例如, TiO2、钛酸铋和钛酸锶等具有强氧化能力和稳定的光催化活性,因而是高效的光催化剂.一般而言,通常报道的TiO2光催化剂是高度分散的、或悬浮于液体介质中的细小颗粒或粉末.然而,粉末状的TiO2光催化剂不适宜于室内空气净化,因为它变得可吸入而对人体健康造成不利的影响.因此,人们尝试将TiO2颗粒作为薄膜固定在不同的刚性载体上,如玻璃、不锈钢和铝合金板.对基体进行涂覆可显著影响光催化时反应物的表面吸附行为.一般而言,光催化薄膜通常涂覆在平面上,如蜂窝空气过滤器.三维(3D)多孔的陶瓷泡沫对气体通过具有非常好的流体性质,因此本文以它作为涂覆的基体.这种陶瓷泡沫具有3D多孔结构,多种孔密度、比表面积和化学性质.3D多孔陶瓷泡沫空气过滤器的床层空隙率较高,因此使用时压降较低,且不像蜂窝空气过滤器,它具有复杂多变的孔结构,可增强流体的扰动和混合.另外,3D多孔陶瓷泡沫空气过滤器的开发多孔和网状的结构使得在催化体系具有非常好的气体动力学性质,催化剂表面和气体反应物有充分的接触.多孔材料在液相或气相催化反应中具有独特的优势,因此,陶瓷泡沫、多孔的氧化铝、多孔硅胶.分子筛和活性炭经常被用作催化剂载体.在固体基体上TiO2膜的形成可能使得TiO2光催化剂的有效比表面积降低,从而导致其光催化活性下降.然而,由于具有中孔结构的TiO2薄膜的比表面积大,其用于催化反应的活性位也更多,因此使用时仍然具有较高的活性.前期研究表明,涂覆在平面玻璃、不锈钢和氧化铝基体上的中孔TiO2薄膜用于环境净化时表现出增强的光催化效率.另外,室内环境中NO和NO2的浓度一般分别为几百个ppb之内和100 ppb以下.可见, NO是主要的室内空气污染物,对人体健康危害较大.基于此,本文首次采用反胶束法将中孔锐钛矿TiO2薄膜均匀一地涂覆在3D多孔高比表面积的泡沫过滤器上,采用X射线衍射、扫描电镜、X射线光电子能谱、N2吸附-脱附、紫外-可见光光谱和原子力显微镜对所制样品进行了表征,并将样品用于紫外光下催化降解NO,以揭示所制的中孔TiO2涂层具有高的比表面积和高的光催化活性,从而克服使用TiO2粉末所带来的不足.结果表明,由于中孔TiO2薄膜涂层具有较大的有效比表面积,其表面存在很多吸附活性位,用于吸附在反应过程中形成的水蒸汽、气相反应物和产物,因而具有更高的光催化活性,因此在陶瓷泡沫空气净化系统中可以高效地光催化NO降解：在所考察的不同孔密度的陶瓷泡沫过滤器涂覆的TiO2上400 ppb的NO单程转化率均在92.5%以上,高于涂覆在平面陶瓷砖上的TiO2.该陶瓷过滤器的3D多孔特性可增强流体的扰动和混合,使得气相反应物与光催化剂表面有着充分的接触;其大的孔密度也导致高的光催化速率.另外,本文所制样品在所有反应过程中均保持较高且稳定的NO降解速率,这表明其在NO降解反应中没有失活.

Photocatalytic TiO2/glass nanoflake array films

A new approach for the fabrication of oriented TiO2/glass nanoflake arrays has been developed. The ceramic nanoflake array was formed on a glass substrate via a simple, low temperature, and one-step hydrothermally induced phase separation approach without using any templates or additives. The factors affecting the formation of ceramic nanoflakes were examined by various characterization techniques. The results showed that the leaching of the soluble phase from the glass surface through hydrothermal processes resulted in oriented uniform ceramic nanoflake arrays. Electron microscope observations revealed that the nanoflakes formed a continuous porous three-dimensional-network array with a large surface-to-volume ratio. In addition, an anatase TiO2 film was successfully coated onto the nanoflake array by the sol-gel method. The TiO2/glass nanoflake array exhibited high activity for the photocatalytic degradation of acetone and for photoinduced hydrophilic conversion. Such enhancements were attributed to the beneficial effects of the new continuous porous three-dimensional-interconnected nanoflake network and its surface geometrical nanostructure. The present approach provides a convenient route to modify a photocatalytic coating with a porous nano-architectured substrate. This opens extensive new opportunities in the design of semiconductor/ceramic nanostructural array thin films with unusual properties for future optical and electronic applications.
