The role of crystal phase in determining photocatalytic activity of nitrogen doped TiO2

Two series of nitrogen doped TiO(2) samples with different ratios of anatase to rutile phases were prepared by milling the mixture of P25 TiO(2) and C(6)H(12)N(4) in air and gaseous NH(3) atmosphere, respectively. Compared to air, NH(3) atmosphere plays an important role in delaying the crystallite transformation from anatase to rutile in the mechanochemical reaction of TiO(2) and C(6)H(12)N(4). In contrast to the previously reported results for pure TiO(2), it is found that nitrogen doped TiO(2) with higher content of rutile phase demonstrates higher photocatalytic activity in photodegrading pollutant Rhodamine B under both UV light and visible light irradiation (lambda>420 nm), and the amount of the surface-adsorbed water and hydroxyl groups on nitrogen doped TiO(2) have little correlations with their crystallite phases (anatase or rutile) and photocatalytic activity. The more abundant surface states characterized by photoluminescence spectroscopy together with the lowered valence band maximum of rutile TiO(2) by nitrogen doping are considered as the key factors for the higher activity of nitrogen doped TiO(2) with higher content of rutile phase.     

Pyrogenic iron(III)-doped TiO2 nanopowders synthesized in RF thermal plasma: phase formation, defect structure, band gap, and magnetic properties

Iron(III)-doped TiO(2) nanopowders, with controlled iron to titanium atomic ratios (R(Fe/Ti)) ranging from nominal 0 to 20%, were synthesized using oxidative pyrolysis of liquid-feed metallorganic precursors in a radiation-frequency (RF) thermal plasma. The valence of iron doped in the TiO(2), phase formation, defect structures, band gaps, and magnetic properties of the resultant nanopowders were systematically investigated using M?ssbauer spectroscopy, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, TEM/HRTEM, UV-vis spectroscopy, and measurements of magnetic properties. The iron doped in TiO(2) was trivalent (3+) in a high-spin state as determined by the isomer shift and quadrupole splitting from the M?ssbauer spectra. No other phases except anatase and rutile TiO(2) were identified in the resultant nanopowders. Interestingly, thermodynamically metastable anatase predominated in the undoped TiO(2) nanopowders, which can be explained from a kinetic point of view based on classical homogeneous nucleation theory. With iron doping, the formation of rutile was strongly promoted because rutile is more tolerant than anatase to the defects such as oxygen vacancies resulting from the substitution of Fe(3+) for Ti(4+) in TiO(2). The concentration of oxygen vacancies reached a maximum at R(Fe/Ti) = 2% above which excessive oxygen vacancies tended to concentrate. As a result of this concentration, an extended defect like crystallographic shear (CS) structure was established. With iron doping, red shift of the absorption edges occurred in addition to the d-d electron transition of iron in the visible light region. The as-prepared iron-doped TiO(2) nanopowders were paramagnetic in nature at room temperature.     

Temperatures and kinetics of anatase to rutile transformation in doped TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> heated in microwave field

The influence of aliovalent ions such as Mn, Cr, Fe, Mo, and V on the temperature and kinetics of anatase to rutile phase transformation in TiO₂ heated in microwave field was studied in this work. The results indicated that heat treatment method and dopants considerably affected the anatase-to-rutile phase transition temperature and kinetics of transformation. The activation energy for anatase to rutile transformation of TiO₂ derived from the isothermal data was found to be 328.4 kJ mol^–1, which was considerably reduced by the addition of dopants in TiO₂ matrix. The activation energy for Mo, Mn and V doped samples was 252.0, 101.3 and 96.4 kJ mol^–1, respectively.     

Influence of Sn4+ on the structural and electronic properties of Ti1-xSnxO2 nanoparticles used as photocatalysts

Ti(1-x)Sn(x)O(2) nanocrystalline materials employed for photocatalysis have been characterised by means of X-ray diffraction, Raman, X-ray absorption (XANES and EXAFS) and UV-Vis spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Single-phase samples with anatase or rutile type structures and similar tin contents permitted a separate study of the effect of Sn(4+) ions on these crystalline forms, whereas materials composed of anatase and rutile mixtures were used to investigate the distribution of the dopant cations when both phases coexist. The results obtained from the single-phase doped TiO(2) samples indicate that the presence of tin causes a different effect when doping anatase or rutile in both their structural and electronic properties. While a random substitution of Sn(4+) for Ti(4+) seems plausible for the rutile phase, some kind of gradient in Sn(4+) concentration is possible in anatase. On the other hand, when anatase and rutile coexist, effects of doping are visible in both phases. Regarding chemical composition, a homogeneous distribution of tin was found in both calcined and hydrothermal multiphase samples. Photocatalytic experiments show that both tin-doping and coexistence of different phases have a beneficial effect on the activity of the catalysts.     

Influence of transition metal-doped titanium(IV) dioxide on the photodegradation of polyethylene

The effects of adding dispersed powders of various forms of titanium(IV) dioxide on the photodegradation of polyethylene have been examined from the following points of view: effect of crystal form, concentration of pigment, transition metal ion, dopant concentration, calcination temperature of pigment, and pigment coating.The rate of photodegradation of polyethylene is reduced by adding certain grades of TiO₂ such as coated TiO₂ particles or TiO₂ doped with small percentages of Cr or Mn ions. The rate is increased on adding TiO₂ doped with V and especially Mo or W ions. The anatase form of TiO₂ is more photoactive than the rutile form, and the effect of increasing the calcination temperature of the pigment is to reduce photoactivity by boosting the rutile fraction. The concentration dependences of the degradation rates are complex, but can be directly related to the percentage of anatase achieved after calcination. Even the most aggressive of the metal-doped pigments are less photoactive than the Degussa P25 material, containing both rutile and anatase.     

Crystallization kinetics study of In-doped and (In-Cr) co-doped TiO2 nanopowders using in-situ high-temperature synchrotron radiation diffraction

The influence of TiO₂ nanopowder doping with 4 wt% indium and 2 wt% each of indium and chromium on phase transformation was studied. Samples were heated from ambient temperature to 950 °C in sealed quartz capillaries, and in-situ synchrotron radiation diffraction measurements were obtained. Capillary sealing yielded an increase in capillary gas pressure to 0.42 MPa at 950 °C in proportion to absolute temperature by Gay-Lussac’s Law. The initial synthesized samples were amorphous, and crystalline anatase appeared at 200 °C. Crystalline rutile appeared at 850 °C for the nanomaterials that were doped with In and In and Cr. A change in sealed-capillary oxygen partial pressure yielded a decrease and an increase in crystallization temperature, respectively, for the amorphous-to-anatase and anatase-to-rutile transformations. Crystalline titania (anatase and rutile) formed from the amorphous titania by 800 °C and 900 °C, for materials doped with In and In-Cr, respectively. The anatase concentration that was dominant in the In-doped materials up to 950 °C and the higher rutile concentration for the In-Cr doped materials from 900 to 950 °C results from the defect structure that was induced by doping. Cr-ions in the Ti sub-lattice retarded the transformation of anatase to rutile when compared with the retarding effect of mixed In/Cr ions. The transformation results because of the relatively smaller radius of Cr-ions when compared with the In-ions. The differences in phase-transformation kinetics for In, In-Cr and for undoped nanopowders in the literature agree with the calculated transformation activation energies.     

Characterization of oxides obtained by heating a mixture of peroxoniobic acid and peroxotitanic acid

Nb-doped TiO(2) particles were prepared by heating a mixture of peroxotitanic acid and peroxoniobic acid in air. When the heating temperature was more than 1173 K, the dominant phase obtained was rutile TiO(2), along with a small amount of TiNb(2)O(7). The relationship between the lattice parameters of the obtained rutile TiO(2) depended on the molar fraction of Nb/(Ti + Nb). In the case where peroxo compounds were used as a precursor, a change in the lattice parameters of the rutile TiO(2) was observed within the lower X(Nb) range, as compared to the alkoxide method. The results indicate that a homogeneous dispersion of doped Nb(5+) ions in the obtained rutile TiO(2) lattice was achieved by using peroxo compounds. Furthermore, the oxide particles obtained by using peroxo compounds had a lower activation energy of the carrier electrons (E(a)) and oxygen vacancies, even though the heating procedure was carried out in air. The UV-vis absorption spectra and Raman spectra of the obtained oxide particles indicated that the dominant reaction of the decomposition of O(2)(2-) ions in the TiO(2) lattice was O(2)(2-)→ O(2) + 2e(-) as a reducing agent.     

Characterizations of lanthanum trivalent ions/TiO2 nanopowders catalysis prepared by plasma spray

Lanthanum trivalent ions (La(3+)) doped titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) nanopowders in the range of 20-60 nm were prepared successfully by plasma spray in the self-developed plasma spray equipment. The photocatalytic activity of samples at different doping concentrations in photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange was discussed. The nanopowders prepared were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet-visible spectra, photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results show that La(3+) doping increased the photocatalytic activity of TiO(2) greatly, the optimal doping concentration was 0.5 at%. The La(3+) doping decreases the particle size and the distribution of particle sizes becomes more uniform. The doped powders were the mixture of anatase and rutile phase. The contents of anatase phase decreased firstly and then increased with an increase in the contents of La(3+). The intrinsic absorption band of La(3+) doped TiO(2) nanopowders appears red shift from that of pure TiO(2) nanopowders. The intensity of PL spectra increases and then decreases with increasing the content of La(3+). The PL spectral intensity reaches its peak when the ratio of La(3+)/TiO(2) is 0.2 at%. There are O, Ti, C and La elements in the prepared La(3+) doped TiO(2) nanopowders, La element still exists in trivalent and Ti element always exists in tetravalent.     

Enhanced photoactivity of neodymium doped mesoporous titania synthesized through aqueous sol–gel method

Nanosize neodymium doped titania has been prepared by hydrolysis of titanium oxychloride followed by peptisation under acidic condition. The anatase to rutile phase transformation temperature was found to increase by 150 °C as a result of neodymium doping. The doped sample shows 10 times higher surface area than the undoped one after calcining at 700 °C. All the samples calcined at 500, 600 and 700 °C show type IV isotherm, which is characteristic of mesoporous material. The pore size distribution curves also show that the pores are in mesoporous region. Further, the neodymium doped titania shows increased photoactivity than the undoped titania with respect to decomposition of methylene blue when subjected to UV light. The transmission electron micrograph indicates that a nanocrystalline doped titania is obtained through the present method. The effect of neodymium doping on the anatase phase stability, specific surface area and photoactivity are reported.
