Reasons for the deactivation of Pt/TiO2 photocatalyst treated by inert gas N2

The effect of N₂ treatment on the photocatalytic activity of Pt⁰/TiO₂ was investigated. The results showed that after treatment at 500 °C in N₂, 70% of the photocatalytic activity of 1.0 wt.% Pt⁰/TiO₂ was lost by the evaluation of photocatalytic oxidation reaction of C₃H₆. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Ar⁺ ion sputtering tests revealed that in the course of high-temperature N₂ treatment, the size of Pt⁰ particles on TiO₂ increases and a strong interaction between metal and support, i.e. Pt⁰ particles encapsulated by Ti_xO_y, happens, which are the reasons for the deactivation of Pt⁰/TiO₂ photocatalyst treated by high-temperature N₂.     

Effect of post heat treatment on microstructure and photocatalytic activities of TiO2 nanoribbons

Low-dimensional TiO₂ nanoribbons were synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The TiO₂ nanoribbons were calcined over the temperature range 200-800 °C in order to enhance their photocatalytic properties by altering their crystal phase and increasing crystallization. Effects of hydrothermal temperature, calcinated temperature and calcination time on the formation of nanostructures have been observed and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The (BET) specific surface area of the samples which with different post treatments were determined by N₂ absorption-desorption experiment. In addition, photocatalytic activities of the nanoribbons were evaluated by photodegradation of organic dyes methyl orange under the radiation of UV light. The results reveal that the post-treatments have great effects on the microstructures and the photocatalytic activities of TiO₂ nanoribbons.     

Synthesis and characterization of the Pd/InVO4-TiO2 co-doped thin films with visible light photocatalytic activities

Novel Pd/InVO₄-TiO₂ thin films with visible light photocatalytic activity were synthesized from the Pd and InVO₂ co-doped TiO₂ sol via sol-gel method. The photocatalytic activities of Pd/InVO₄-TiO₂ thin films were investigated based on the oxidative decomposition of methyl orange in aqueous solution. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis). The results indicate that the Pd/InVO₄-TiO₂ thin films are compact, uniform and consist of sphere nanoparticles with diameters about 80-100 nm. The UV-vis spectra show that the Pd/InVO₄-TiO₂ thin films extend the light absorption spectrum toward the visible region. XPS results reveal that doped Pd exist in the form of metallic palladium. The photocatalytic experiments demonstrate that Pd doping can effectively enhance the photocatalytic activities of InVO₄-TiO₂ thin films in decomposition of aqueous methyl orange under visible light irradiation. It has been confirmed that Pd/InVO₄-TiO₂ thin films could be excited by visible light (E < 3.2 eV) due to the existence of the Pd and InVO₄ doped in the films.     

Synthesis of fluorinated TiO2 hollow microspheres and their photocatalytic activity under visible light

Fluorinated TiO₂ hollow microspheres with three-dimensional hierarchical architecture were prepared by solvothermally treatment using solid microspheres as precursor. The obtained solid and hollow TiO₂ microspheres were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The photocatalytic activity of as-prepared solid and hollow TiO₂ microspheres was determined by degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the surface fluorination, the existence of accessible mesopores channels, and the increased light harvesting abilities could remarkably improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ hollow microspheres.     

Synthesis and photocatalytic oxidation of different organic dyes by using Mn2O3/TiO2 solid solution and visible light

Mn₂O₃/TiO₂ solid solution was prepared from two different oxides, manganese oxide (from KMnO₄ and ethanol) and TiO₂, these samples were characterized by BET, XRD, EDAX, SEM, FT-IR, ESR, XPS and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy. Photocatalytic activities of Mn₂O₃/TiO₂ powder was investigated by photooxidation of different dyes like Rhodamine B, thymol blue, methyl orange and Bromocresol green under visible light (300-W Xe lamp; λ > 420 nm). The results show that the alloy of TiO₂ with 1 mol% of Mn₂O₃ (MNT1) exhibit photocatalytic activity 3–5 times higher than that of P25 TiO₂ for oxidation of various dyes (RB, TB, MO and BG). The average particle size and crystallite size of MNT1 were found to be 100 nm and 12 nm measured from SEM and XRD, respectively. The EPR spectra of the Mn₂O₃/TiO₂ samples is a sharp five-line Mn(III) component centered on g_eff = 1.99.

Effect of structure on the photocatalytic activity of Pt-doped TiO2 nanotubes

Highly ordered TiO₂ nanotubes with different tube length were fabricated by anodization using C₂H₂O₄·2H₂O containing 0.5 wt.% NH₄F (electrolyte A) and anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide containing 1% HF (electrolyte B), respectively. Then cathodic reduction method was used to dope Pt in TiO₂ nanotubes in chloroplatinic acid. The results indicated that cathodic reduction could efficiently platinize TiO₂ nanotubes. Pt-doped TiO₂ nanotubes with the longer length had the higher photocatalytic activity for degrading methyl orange under UV and visible irradiation. The longer tube length has a positive effect on the photocatalytic activity of Pt-doped TiO₂ nanotubes. Besides, as the content of anatase further decreases, the photocatalytic activity drops gradually due to the reduction reaction in the surface area.     

Structural, photochemical and photocatalytic properties of zirconium oxide doped TiO2 nanocrystallites

Composite photocatalysts composed of TiO₂ and ZrO₂ have been prepared via the sol-gel method. The as-prepared nanocomposites are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis spectrometry and fluorescence emission spectra. The results shows that TiO₂/ZrO₂ nanocomposites are composed of mainly anatase titania and tetragonal ZrO₂. Incorporating TiO₂ particles with ZrO₂ plays an important role in promoting the formation of nanoparticles with an anatase structure and leads to decreased fluorescence emission intensity. Most of the TiO₂/ZrO₂ nanocomposites exhibited comparable photocatalytic activity compared with commercial TiO₂ for the degradation aqueous methyl orange (MO) under ultraviolet irradiation, while the composite with Zr/Ti mass ratio of 15.2% shows the highest photocatalytic performances. Furthermore, the as-prepared nanocomposites can be reused with little photocatalytic activity loss. Without any further treatment besides rinsing, the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂/ZrO₂ (15.2%) composites is still higher than after five-cycle utilization.     

Preparation and characterization of amine-functionalized SiO2/TiO2 films for formaldehyde degradation

This paper investigated the gaseous formaldehyde degradation by the amine-functionalized SiO₂/TiO₂ photocatalytic films for improving indoor air quality. The films were synthesized via the co-condensation reaction of methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS). The physicochemical properties of prepared photocatalysts were characterized with N₂ adsorption/desorption isotherms measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT/IR). The effect of amine-functional groups and the ratio of MTMOS/APTMS precursors on the formaldehyde adsorption and photocatalytic degradation were investigated. The results showed that the formaldehyde adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of the APTMS-functionalized SiO₂/TiO₂ film was higher than that of SiO₂/TiO₂ film due to the surface adsorption on amine sites and the relatively high of the specific surface area of the APTMS-functionalized SiO₂/TiO₂ film (15 times higher than SiO₂/TiO₂). The enhancement of the formaldehyde degradation of the film can be attributed to the synergetic effect of adsorption and subsequent photocatalytic decomposition. The repeatability of photocatalytic film was also tested and the degradation efficiency was 91.0% of initial efficiency after seven cycles.
