Surface-modification of TiO2 with new metalloporphyrins and their photocatalytic activity in the degradation of 4-notrophenol

A new mono-functionalized porphyrin derivative, 5-mono-[4-(2-(4-hydroxy)-phenoxy)ethoxy]-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (3) and its Cu(II) (3a), Zn(II) (3b) and Ni(II) (3c) metalloporphyrins were synthesized and characterized by using various spectroscopic techniques. The corresponding 3a, 3b, 3c-TiO₂ photocatalysts were then prepared and characterized by means of FT-IR and diffused reflectance spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic activities of 3a, 3b, 3c-TiO₂ were investigated by testing the photodegradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in aqueous solution under the halogen lamp irradiation. The results indicated that all the 3a, 3b, 3c enhanced the photocatalytic efficiency of bare TiO₂ in photodegrading the 4-NP, and 3a-TiO₂ exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. The result is considered a combined action of potential match of 3a with TiO₂ CB and effective impregnated of 3a onto the surface of TiO₂.     

Spectroscopic Study of Porphyrin-Caffeine Interactions

The association between water-soluble porphyrins: 4,4′,4″,4?-(21?H,23?H-porphine-5,10,15,20-tetrayl)tetrakis-(benzoic acid) (H₂TCPP), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)-21?H,23?H-porphine (H₂TPPS₄), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4-(trimethylammonio)phenyl]-21?H,23?H-porphine tetra-p-tosylate (H₂TTMePP), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridyl)-21?H,23?H-porphine tetra-p-tosylate (H₂TMePyP), the Cu(II) complexes of H₂TTMePP and H₂TMePyP, as well as chlorophyll a with caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) has been studied analysing their absorption and emission spectra in aqueous (or acetone in case of chlorophyll a) solution. During the titration by caffeine the porphyrins absorption spectra undergo the evolution – the bathochromic effect can be observed as well as the hypochromicity of the Soret maximum. The association constants were calculated using curve-fitting procedure (K_AC of the order of magnitude of 10³?mol^-1). Whereas the emission spectra point at the presence of the fluorescence quenching effect testifying for the partial inactivation of the porphyrin molecule. The fluorescence quenching constants were calculated from Stern-Volmer plots. The results obtained show that caffeine can interact with water-soluble porphyrins and through formation of stacking complexes is able to quench their ability to emission.     

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.     

Preparation and visible light photocatalytic activity of mesoporous N, S-codoped TiO2(B) nanobelts

The mesoporous N, S-codoped TiO₂(B) nanobelts are synthesized via hydrothermal synthesis and post-treatment, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N₂ adsorption-desorption measurements (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). The results show that the prepared samples are mesoporous structured and exhibit stronger absorption in the visible light region with red shift in the absorption edge. The photocatalytic activity of N, S-codoped mesoporous TiO₂(B) nanobelts is evaluated by the photocatalytic photodegradation of potassium ethyl xanthate (KEX) under visible light irradiation. It is found that the photocatalytic activity of the prepared samples increases with increasing the molar ratio of thiourea to Ti (R). At R = 3, the photocatalytic activity of the N, S-codoped TiO₂(B) sample TBLTS-3 reaches a maximum value. With further increasing R, the photocatalytic activity of the sample decreases. The high photocatalytic activity of N, S-codoped TiO₂(B) nanobelts can be attributed to the balance between strong absorption in visible light region and low recombination rate of electron/hole pairs.     

[5‐(p‐alkoxy)phenyl‐10, 15, 20‐tri‐phenyl] porphyrin and their rare earth complex liquid crystalline

Three series of porphyrin liquid crystalline compounds, [5‐(p‐alkoxy)phenyl‐10, 15, 20‐tri‐phenyl] porphyrin and their rare earth complexes (Tb (III), Dy (III), Er (III), Yb (III)), with a hexagonal columnar discotic columnar(Col_h) phase have been synthesized. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductances, UV‐visible spectra, infrared spectra, luminescence spectra, and cyclic voltammetry. These compounds exhibit more than one mesophases, which transition points of temperature change from ?33.6 to 16.0 °C, and transition points of temperature for isotropic liquid also increase from 4.9 to 38.2 °C, with increasing chain length. Their surface photovoltage (SPV) response have also been investigated by the means of surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) and field‐induced surface photovoltage spectroscopy (EFISPS). It was found that their SPV bands are analogous with the UV‐visible absorption spectra and derived from the same transition. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Doping mode, band structure and photocatalytic mechanism of B-N-codoped TiO2

The photocatalyst B and N codoped TiO₂ (B-N-TiO₂) was prepared via the sol-gel method by using boric acid and ammonia as B and N precursors. The doping mode, band structure and photocatalytic mechanism of B-N-TiO₂ were investigated well and elucidated in detail. B-N-TiO₂ showed the narrowed band gap and thus extended the optical absorption due to interstitial N and [NOB] species in the TiO₂ crystal lattice. The coexistence of interstitial N and [NOB] species in the TiO₂ crystal lattice and surface NO_x species allowed the more efficient utilization of visible light. Simultaneously, interstitial [NOB] and N species and surface B₂O₃ and NO_x species facilitated the separation of photo generated electrons and holes and suppress their recombination effectively. Hence, B-N-TiO₂ showed a higher photocatalytic activity than pure TiO₂, N-doped TiO₂ (N-TiO₂) and B-doped TiO₂ (B-TiO₂) under both UV and visible light irradiation.

用5-[4-(5-溴戊氧基)苯基]-10,15,20-三(3,4-二氯苯基)卟啉或5-[4-(6-溴己氧基)苯基]-10,15,20-三(3,4-二氯苯基)卟啉与5-氟尿嘧啶反应,合成了1-[5-(4-戊氧苯基)-10,15,20-三(3,4-二氯苯基)卟啉]-5-氟尿嘧啶(A)和1-[5-(4-己氧苯基)-10,15,20-三(3,4-二氯苯基)卟啉]-5-氟尿嘧啶(B),产率分别为29.92%和30.01%。并通过红外光谱、紫外可见光谱、核磁共振谱和质谱表征了其结构。对目标化合物的合成条件进行了研究,结果表明:以DMF为溶剂,反应温度为115℃,反应时间2h,产率较高;采用硅胶G(200—300目)装柱,以氯仿和氯仿∶乙醚(V∶V=50∶1)为洗脱液,柱层析,再用氯仿:丙酮(V∶V=7∶1)洗脱产品色带,分离效果较好。     

Design and fabrication of a TiO2/nano-silicon composite visible light photocatalyst

Nano-silicon (nc-Si) was utilized as the charges generator to promote the photocatalytic and super-hydrophilic reactivity of TiO₂ film under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic ability of TiO₂/nc-Si composite photocatalyst was evaluated by a set of experiments to photodecompose 100 ppm methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. And the super-hydrophilic property was characterized by measuring the water droplet contacts angle, under visible light irradiation in atmospheric air and at room temperature. Under 100 mW/cm² visible light irradiation, the droplet contact angles were reduced to 0° within 4 h with nc-Si charge generator. Additionally, the rate constant of MB photo-degradation was promoted 6.6 times.     

Photoelectrochemical switch based on cis-Azobenzene chromophore modified TiO2 nanowires

Carboxylated-azobenzene chromophore modified TiO₂ nanowire composites were prepared and characterized. Photocurrent measured with monochromatic incident light irradiation results showed that azobenzene modified TiO₂ nanowire electrode had obviously higher photocurrent and broader visible light response covering range of 350-650 nm, and the wavelength position corresponding to the maximum photocurrent was red shift to about 470 nm. After alternate irradiation with UV and visible light, the azobenzene modified TiO₂ nanowire electrode exhibited obvious photoelectrochemical switching properties. Furthermore, the photocurrent under visible light irradiation was much higher than that under UV irradiation due to the cis-to-trans isomerization transformation of azobenzene chromophore.     

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.     

Enhanced visible light photocatalytic properties of Fe-doped TiO2 nanorod clusters and monodispersed nanoparticles

In order to get photocatalysts with desired morphologies and enhanced visible light responses, the Fe-doped TiO₂ nanorod clusters and monodispersed nanoparticles were prepared by modified hydrothermal and solvothermal method, respectively. The microstructures and morphologies of TiO₂ crystals can be controlled by restraining the hydrolytic reaction rates. The Fe-doped photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis), N₂ adsorption-desorption measurement (BET), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The refinements of the microstructures and morphologies result in the enhancement of the specific surface areas. The Fe³⁺-dopants in TiO₂ lattices not only lead to the significantly extending of the optical responses from UV to visible region but also diminish the recombination rates of the electrons and holes. The photocatalytic activities were evaluated by photocatalytic decomposition of formaldehyde in air under visible light illumination. Compared with P25 (TiO₂) and N-doped TiO₂ nanoparticles, the Fe-doped photocatalysts show high photocatalytic activities under visible light.     

Pt/N-codoped TiO2 nanotubes and its photocatalytic activity under visible light

Pt/N-codoped TiO₂ nanotubes were prepared and characterized by various analytical methods, such as transmission electron microscope (TEM), diffuse reflection spectra (DRS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron emission spectroscopy (XPS) and fluorescence spectra (FL). The photocatalytic efficiency was evaluated by the photodegradation of Rhodamine B (RB) in an aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. It has been confirmed that Pt/N-codoped TiO₂ nanotubes could be excited by visible light and the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs declined significantly. The higher visible light activity is due to the codoping of nitrogen and platinum.     

Photoelectrocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants at Bi2O3/TiO2 nanotube array electrode

In the current work, TiO₂ nanotube array was prepared via electrochemical anode method. Then the Bi₂O₃ nanoparticles were deposited onto the TiO₂ nanotube array via dip-coating method from an amorphous complex precursor. The crystal structures were characterized via X-ray diffraction analysis. Their surface textures were observed via electron-scanning microscope. The prepared composite array electrode exhibited high photoelectrocatalytic activities towards degrading organic contaminants under visible light irradiation. High photoelectrocatalytic activities were also exhibited under UV light irradiation. The catalytic mechanism was discussed based on the analysis of electrochemical and degradation kinetics results. It is suggested a P (Bi₂O₃)-N (TiO₂) junction was formed to increase the catalytic activates. The stability of the electrode materials was confirmed finally.     

Sonodegradation and photodegradation of methyl orange by InVO4/TiO2 nanojunction composites under ultrasonic and visible light irradiation

The InVO₄/TiO₂ nanojunction composites with different weight ratio of 1:10, 1:25, 1:50 and 1:100 were successfully constructed using an ion impregnate method, followed by calcining temperature 400 °C for 2 h in Ar. The sono- and photo-catalytic activities of the InVO₄/TiO₂ nanojunction composites were evaluated through the degradation of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solution under ultrasonic and visible light irradiation, respectively. The experimental results determined that the (1:50) InVO₄/TiO₂ nanojunction composite has exhibited the highest sonocatalytic activity. It can be ascribed to vectorial charge transfer at the co-excited InVO₄/TiO₂ interface under ultrasonic irradiation, results in the complete separation of electrons and holes. Interestingly, the (1:25) InVO₄/TiO₂ nanojunction composite displayed superior photocatalytic activity for MO degradation under visible light, indicating that InVO₄ as a narrow band gap sensitizer can expand photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ to visible region, and the charge transfer can be formed from high energy level of InVO₄ conduction band to the low energy level of TiO₂ conduction band in a present of excited InVO₄ alone under visible light irradiation. The sono- and photo-catalytic activities of the InVO₄/TiO₂ nanojunction composites were found to be dependent significantly on different InVO₄ contents, which can be explained by the influence of charge transfer on the basis of the work functions of different catalysis mechanism.     

The enhanced photocatalytic activity of CdS/TiO2 nanocomposites by controlling CdS dispersion on TiO2 nanotubes

CdS/TiO₂ nanocomposites were prepared via a simple wet chemical method, and characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Their ability to degrade Acid Rhodamine B was investigated under visible light irradiation. The results indicate that CdS/TiO₂ nanocomposite with a mass ratio of 4:1(TiO₂:CdS) showed high photocatalytic activity and the CdS loaded on TiO₂ nanotube surface exhibited a hexagonal phase. The dispersion of CdS on TiO₂ nanotube surface had an important effect on the degradation efficiency of pollutant, which provides a strategy for practical industry application.

Efficient visible-light-induced photocatalytic degradation of MO on the Cr-nanocrystalline titania-S

In order to improve visible light photocatalytic activities of the nanometer TiO₂, a novel and efficient Cr,S-codoped TiO₂ (Cr-TiO₂-S) photocatalyst was prepared by precipitation-doping method. The crystalline structure, morphology, particle size, and chemical structure of Cr-TiO₂-S were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) techniques, respectively. Results indicate that the doping of Cr and S, cause absorption edge shifts to the visible light region (λ > 420 nm) compare to the pure TiO₂, reduces average size of the TiO₂ crystallites, enhances desired lattice distortion of Ti, promotes separation of photo-induced electron and hole pair, and thus improves pollutant decomposition under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic activities of Cr-TiO₂-S nanoparticles were evaluated using the photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) as probe reaction under the irradiation of UV and visible light and it was observed that the Cr-TiO₂-S photocatalyst shows higher visible photocatalytic activity than the pure TiO₂. The optimal Cr-TiO₂-S concentration to obtain the highest photocatalytic activity was 5 mol% for both of Cr and S.     

Microemulsion synthesis, characterization of bismuth oxyiodine/titanium dioxide hybrid nanoparticles with outstanding photocatalytic performance under visible light irradiation

Reverse microemulsions, consisting of n-hexanol, Triton X-100, Cyclohexane and aqueous salt solutions, were used to synthesize BiOI, TiO₂ and BiOI/TiO₂ hybrid nanoparticles at room temperature. The particles had been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, FT-IR spectra, TG-DSC analysis, nitrogen sorption, electron microscopy, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic properties of those particles were evaluated by degradation of methyl orange under visible light irradiation. The BiOI/TiO₂ composites showed about 5 times higher photocatalytic performances than BiOI when the mole ratio of BiOI to TiO₂ was 75%. The remarkable enhancement in the visible light photocatalytic activities of the BiOI/TiO₂ heterostructures could be first attributed to the effective electron-hole separations at the interfaces of the two semiconductors, which facilitated the transfer of the photoinduced carriers. Meanwhile, the heterojunction formed between BiOI and TiO₂ would further retard the recombination of photoinduced carriers. In addition, high degree of crystallization, bimodal porous structure, relative large specific surface area, and appropriate energy band gap have great contribution to the enhancement of photocatalytic performance.     

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.
