Sol-gel low-temperature synthesis of stable anatase-type TiO2 nanoparticles under different conditions and its photocatalytic activity

In this work, TiO(2) nanoparticles in anatase phase was prepared by sol-gel low temperature method from titanium tetra-isopropoxide (TTIP) as titanium precursor in the presence of acetic acid (AcOH). The effects of synthesis parameters such as AcOH and water ratios, sol formation time, synthesis and calcination temperature on the photocatalytic activity of TiO(2) nanoparticles were evaluated. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis reflectance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller techniques. Photocatalytic activity of anatase TiO(2) nanoparticles determined in the removal of C. I. Acid Red 27 (AR27) under UV light irradiation. Results indicate that with increasing AcOH/TTIP molar ratio from 1 to 10, sol formation time from 1 to 3 h and synthesis temperature from 0 to 25°C, increases crystallite size of synthesized nanoparticles. It was found that optimal conditions for low temperature preparation of anatase-type TiO(2) nanoparticles with high photocatalytic activity were as follows: TTIP:AcOH:water molar ratio 1:1:200, sol formation time 1 h, synthesis temperature 0°C and calcination temperature 450°C.

Preparation of siloxy focal dendron-protected TiO2 nanoparticles and their photocatalysis

TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized at approximately 0 degrees C by hydrolyzing [(CH3)2CHO]4Ti in 1-propanol solutions of poly(amido amine) dendrons with a siloxy focal point and long alkyl chain spacers. Transmission electron microscopic photographs showed that TiO2 nanoparticle was 1-5 nm in size and protected by dendrons, when prepared at a mixing ratio 1:10 of Ti ion and dendron. At higher contents of Ti ion, TiO2 nanoparticles aggregated up to a maximum size of 90 nm, depending on the dendron generation (first to third). It was confirmed from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy that Si-O-Ti covalent bond was formed in dendron-protected TiO2 nanoparticles. The ability of dendron-protected TiO2 nanoparticles as a photocatalyst for the photodegradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was higher than that of nonprotected nanoparticle and superior at higher generation. It was suggested that the dendrons protecting TiO2 nanoparticle have enough void volume to conserve guest molecules and behave effectively as a reservoir of guest molecules.

Study of CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol over Cu-V/γ-Al2O3 Catalyst

The effect of vanadium addition to Cu/γ-Al2O3 catalyst used in the hydrogenation of CO2 to produce methanol was studied. It was found that the catalytic performance of the Cu-based catalyst improved after V addition. The influence of reaction temperature, space velocity and the molar ratio of H2 to CO2 on the performance of 12%Cu-6%V/γ-Al2Oa catalyst were also studied. The results indicated that the best conditions for reaction were as follows: 240 ℃, 3600 h-1 and a molar ratio of H2 to CO2 the dispersion of the supported CuO species, which resulted in the enhanced catalytic performance of Cu-V/γ-Al2O3 binary catalyst.     

Effects of thermal treatments on the recovery of adsorbed water and photocatalytic activities of TiO2 photocatalytic systems

The effects of thermal treatments on the rehydration process and photocatalytic activity were investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy for six anatase abundant TiO2 photocatalysts with different properties. Acetic acid and benzoic acid were employed for photodecomposition in aqueous suspension. After the calcinations at 973 K, physisorbed water layers recovered relatively fast for P25, F4, and AMT-600 (shorter than 24 h) with no significant enhancement of the photocatalytic decomposition. On the other hand, for ST-01, UV-100, and AMT-100, the recovery was very slow (longer than 1 week) and only partially reversible, and the photocatalytic decomposition was considerably enhanced but retarded with rehydration. In the presence of adsorbed water, the binding of a carboxyl group of the molecules with adsorbed water is considered to compete with the direct adsorption on the surface, which reduces the amount of the direct adsorption and results in the reduction in the photocatalytic efficiency. In addition, the photocatalytic decomposition of benzoic acid with an aromatic ring was much faster in all of the TiO2 aqueous suspensions and more enhanced for the fully dehydroxylated TiO2 than that of acetic acid. These results suggest that the most efficient photocatalytic sites should be the hydrophobic sites on the TiO2 surface. The difference among the rehydration rates of different TiO2 is discussed in terms of thermally induced changes of surface morphology.

具有高光催化活性的黑色TiO2（B）/锐钛矿双晶TiO2-x纳米纤维

高效TiO2基光催化材料的开发一直是催化领域的研究热点,主要的策略是如何有效地分离光生载流子.制备多晶相的TiO2材料可引入异质/相结结构使电子与空穴朝不同方向移动,从而避免电子与空穴复合;另外,在TiO2中掺杂其他金属或非金属也可以有效地降低电子与空穴的复合率,掺杂的元素作为电子捕获阱俘获光生电子,以实现电子空穴的有效分离.近些年,作为一种全新的掺杂剂,氧空穴可以有效改善TiO2的光催化活性,所制TiO2具有可见光的全光谱吸收能力,因此该类TiO2呈现出黑色.通过上述方法均可以制备出高活性TiO2基光催化材料,如果能够将这些方法耦合一起,则可能制备出活性更高的光催化剂.因此,本文将异相结结构和空穴掺杂耦合起来,用多孔钛酸盐衍生物在H2中高温焙烧制得一种全新的黑色TiO2(B)/锐钛矿双晶TiO2–x纳米纤维.不同于其他TiO2基光催化材料,该样品仅由Ti和O元素组成,通过Ti和O元素的组合,形成了双晶结构和空穴掺杂两种特殊的结构,借助场发射(FESEM)、拉曼光谱(Raman)、氮气物理吸脱附、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、热重(TG)、紫外可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis)和荧光光谱(PL)等表征分析了样品的结构及其光催化性能间构效关系. FESEM结果显示,黑色TiO2(B)/锐钛矿双晶TiO2–x为长1–5mm、宽0.2mm的纤维结构, Raman结果表明,锐钛矿相在特征波段(140 cm–1左右)和TiO2(B)的特征波段(220–260 cm–1)均发生蓝移,说明该两相中均存在氧空穴;该样表面未检测到Ti3+,因此氧空穴可能分散在TiO2(B)和锐钛矿相的体相中.根据黑色TiO2(B)/锐钛矿双晶TiO2–x和白色TiO2(B)/锐钛矿双晶TiO2的失重差,估算出前者的O/Ti原子比为1.97.光催化降解甲基橙实验结果显示,黑色TiO2(B)/锐钛矿双晶TiO2–x的光催化活性是白色双晶TiO2的4.2倍,锐钛矿TiO2的10.5倍,且连续反应10次后未出现失活现象,显示出了良好的光催化稳定性.前期,我们已经证明了白色TiO2(B)/锐钛矿双晶TiO2由于具有TiO2(B)和锐钛矿的异相结结构,致使其电子空穴有效地分离,从而表现出优异的光催化活性;本文的PL结果显示,由于氧空穴的引入,异相结与氧空穴两者共同作用,进一步促进了黑色TiO2(B)/锐钛矿双晶TiO2–x电子与空穴的有效分离,因此黑色TiO2(B)/锐钛矿双晶TiO2–x表现出高的光催化活性.由于其特殊的结构,黑色TiO2(B)/锐钛矿双晶TiO2–x纳米纤维将在环境与能源领域表现出良好的应用前景.

TiO2纳米材料在太阳能的储存与利用、光电转换、光致变色及光催化降解大气和水中的污染物等方面具有广阔的应用前景,成为重点研究的课题之一[1～5].目前,以TiO2纳米粉体和纳米膜的研究较为普遍,而TiO2纳米管的报道不多.由于纳米管比纳米膜具有更大的比表面积,因而具有较高的吸附能力,可望提高TiO2的光电转换效率.模板法(包括多孔阳极氧化铝膜(PAA)、光刻蚀制备的纳米模板、聚碳酸酯纳米滤膜等)在制备导电聚合物、金属、碳、无机半导体等纳米管或线型材料方面已得到广泛应用[6～9],在这些模板中,PAA膜具有均匀分布的垂直于表面的相互平行的密集纳米孔,且孔径、孔间距、膜厚可以通过电化学手段加以控制[10～13].     

Synthesis of 4-Methyl-2-Isopropyl- 1,3 -Dioxolane by TiSiW12O40/ TiO2 as Catalyst

Acetals and ketals are a kind of the important compounds and used to protect carbonyl,middle material of the organic synthesis. What's more, they are a sort of the widely use flavor substance. 4-Methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane has fresh fruit odor and apple note. It is used to producing many sorts of essence. And the conventional method to synthesize 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane makes use of sulfuric acid as catalyst in factories. But it causes many problems, such as the erosion of production equipment, difficulty after-treatment, low quality of the products, etc. HPA and its salts shows excellent catalytic activity to the esterification and have recently attracted much attention as catalysts for various industrial processes, because their acidic and redox properties can be controlled at atomic/molecular levels. Misono, Pope [1], and Wang [2]have reviewed the homogeneous catalysis and fine organic synthesis catalyzed by heteropoly compounds. However, there is no report on the synthesis of 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane catalyzed by TiSiW12O40/TiO2. TiSiW12O40/TiO2 was prepared according to reference [3] and identified by means of IR and XRD. The reaction was carried out in a three-neck flask equipped with a stirrer, a reflux condenser, and a thermometer. A certain amounts of isobutyraldehyde,1,2-propanediol and the catalyst was heated to boiling and refluxed until no water flowed off. The purified product was analyzed by IR spectra and 1HNMR.In this paper, we report 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane was synthesized from isobutyraldehyde and 1,2-propanediol in the presence of TiSiW12O40/TiO2. The factors influencing the yield of product and the optimum reaction conditions were discussed. The optimum conditions are molar ratio of isobutyraldehyde to 1,2-propanediol was 1:1.5, the quantity of catalyst was equal to 0.5% feed stock, and the reaction time was 1.0 h. TiSiW12O40/TiO2 was an excellent catalyst to synthesize 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane and the yield can be up to 92.1%. IR spectra of 4-methyl-2-isopropyl- 1,3-dioxolane shows peaks at 1191,1100,1022,950 cm-1; 1HNMR (δH, ppm):4.65-4.67 (d, 1H, CH), 4.02-4.20 (m, 1H, CH), 3.81-3.92 (d, 1H, CH), 3.35-3.43 (t, 1H, CH),1.61～1.85 (m, 1H, CH), 1.14-1.29 (d, 3H, CH3), 0.96 (m, 6H, CH3); nD20=1.4135; b.p. 127-130 ℃.And we found that the catalyst can be utilized repeatedly, moreover, the catalytic activities of the catalyst are almost unchanged after it has been used five times. From the above results and discussion, we can see that the synthesis of 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane catalyzed by TiSiW12O40/TiO2 instead of sulfuric acid has a great prospect of application.     

Layer-by-layer assembly of TiO(2) colloids onto diatomite to build hierarchical porous materials

TiO(2) colloids with the most probably particle size of 10 nm were deposited on the surface of macroporous diatomite by a layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly method with using phytic acid as molecular binder. For preparation of colloidal TiO(2), titanium(IV) isopropoxide (Ti(C(3)H(7)O)(4)) was used as titanium precursor, nitric acid (HNO(3)) as peptizing agent and deionized water and isopropanol (C(3)H(7)OH) as solvent. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N(2) adsorption-desorption, and UV-vis spectra are used to assess the morphology and physical chemistry properties of the resulting TiO(2) coated diatomite. It was shown that the mesoporosity has been introduced into macroporous diatomite by LBL deposition. The mesoporosity was originated from close-packing of the uniform TiO(2) nanoparticles. More TiO(2) could be coated on the surface of diatomite by increasing the deposition cycles. This hierarchical porous material has potential for applications in catalytic reactions involved diffusion limit, especially in photocatalytic reactions.

A Simple Method for the Preparation of ZnO Prickly Spheres

The synthesis of ZnO prickly spheres using precipitation followed by heating treatment was investigated. Zn(OH)2 precursor was prepared by precipitation process using Zn(CH3COO)2-2H2O in mixed 1-propanol-water solvent. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as the anionic surfactant was added to control the morphology. The size and structure of ZnO prickly spheres were studied using XRD, TEM and SEM. The results showed that the morphologies and size of the spheres strongly depended on the volume ratio of 1-propanol /water and molar ratio of SDS/Zn2+. ZnO prickly spheres composed of nanorods could be obtained, when the volume ratio of 1-propanol/water = 2:3 and the molar ratio of Zn2/SDS= 450:1.

超亲水TiO2和TiO2-SiO2表面的动态润湿性

1997年, Fujishima研究组[1]发现TiO2表面经UV光照射能产生较强的亲水性, 同时具有较高的亲油性, 即经UV光照射后的TiO2表面具有超双亲的性质. 这种防雾和自清洁性在工业上应用广泛, 已引起了人们的极大兴趣[2～5]. 进一步的研究发现, 超亲水的TiO2表面在暗处放置会变为疏水表面. 对于这个问题, 除了可以通过UV光照[6]、氩离子或电子束溅射[6]和高温热处理[5]等恢复其超亲水性外, 还可以通过添加摩尔分数为10%～30%的SiO2有效地降低TiO2表面的接触角, 提高UV光诱导的超亲水表面在暗处的稳定性能[3]. 另外, 诱导TiO2的亲水性需要较强的UV线强度(如太阳光), 使它在室内应用受到限制. 为了在室内实现TiO2的自清洁功能, Watanabe等[4]发现在TiO2中添加WO3可使TiO2在室内的照明光下也能实现亲水性转变. 以上这些研究成果为TiO2在工业和生活上的实际应用提供了重要的科学依据. 然而, TiO2的防雾和自清洁功能的实现同时也受其动力学性质的制约.
