臭氧修饰(001)晶面TiO_2纳米片及其光催化降解甲苯研究（英文）

本文系统研究了臭氧修饰对(001)主导晶面锐钛矿型TiO_2光催化剂降解甲苯性能的影响.利用自行搭建的光催化VOCs降解装置对催化剂光降解甲苯的性能进行了测试.通过多种表征手段,结合原位DRIFTS和DFT计算研究了臭氧表面修饰及甲苯吸附和降解机理.结果表明,用臭氧进行表面修饰可以显著提高(001)主导晶面TiO_2光催化降解甲苯的性能.(001)晶面上丰富的5c-Ti不饱和配位是臭氧分子的吸附位点,其解离后形成的Ti-O键与H_2O分子结合,在表面生成大量孤立的Ti_(5c)-OH.Ti_(5c)-OH是甲苯分子的吸附位,它的形成显著提高了对甲苯分子的吸附能力.在光照下Ti_(5c)-OH与光生空穴结合能形成·OH自由基.通过臭氧解离产生的O_2也可以与光生电子结合形成超氧自由基.这些具有强氧化性活性自由基的形成促进了对气相甲苯的光催化降解速率.     

CO和O2分子与TiO2(110)表面负载Pt单原子的相互作用

Pt单原子在低温CO氧化反应中具有很高的催化活性. 利用扫描隧道显微术与密度泛函理论，研究了Pt单原子在还原性TiO₂(110)表面的吸附行为及其与CO和O₂分子的相互作用. 研究发现在80 K低温下，TiO₂表面的氧空位缺陷是Pt单原子的最优吸附位. 将CO和O₂分子分别通入Pt单原子吸附后的TiO₂表面，研究相应的吸附构型. 实验表明在低覆盖度下，单个Pt原子会俘获一个CO分子，CO分子同时与表面次近邻的五配位Ti原子(Ti_5c)成键，进而形成非对称的Pt-CO 复合物构型. 将样品从80 K升温到100 K后，TiO₂表面的CO分子会迁移到Pt-CO处形成Pt-(CO)₂的复合结构. 对于O₂分子，单个Pt原子同样会吸附一个O₂分子，O₂分子也会与最近邻或次近邻的Ti_5c原子成键形成两种Pt-O₂构型. 这些结果在单分子尺度上揭示了CO和O₂与Pt单原子的相互作用，呈现了CO与O₂反应中的初始状态.

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.     

锐钛矿型TiO2(001)-(1×4)表面还原型缺陷对乙醛偶联反应的作用

本文利用程序升温脱附技术(TPD)研究了乙醛吸附在锐钛矿型TiO₂(001)-(1×4)表面的化学性质. 实验结果表明完整晶格位点对乙醛反应表现极为惰性,而表面上的还原型缺陷位点在热驱动下可有效地使乙醛分子通过碳-碳偶联反应生成2-丁酮和丁烯. 提出了乙醛在锐钛矿型TiO₂(001)-(1×4)表面偶联反应主要是通过表面还原型缺陷位吸附成对的乙醛分子,因为表面已有的钛原子对还原型缺陷为乙醛分子提供了合适的吸附位点.     

铂修饰的{001}面暴露的二氧化钛纳米片阵列的制备和光催化性能

Synthesis and characterization of nitrogen-doped TiO2 coatings on reduced graphene oxide for enhancing the visible light photocatalytic activity

Nitrogen-doped TiO₂ coatings on reduced graphene oxide were prepared via a sonochemical synthesis and hydrothermal process. The nanocomposites showed improved photocatalytic activity due to their large specific surface areas (185–447 m²/g), the presence of TiO₂ in the anatase phase, and a quenched photoluminescence peak. In particular, GN3-TiO₂ (nitrogen-doped TiO₂ coatings on rGO with 3 ml of titanium (IV) isopropoxide) exhibited the best photocatalytic efficiency and degradation rate among the materials prepared. With nitrogen-doped on the reduced graphene oxide surface, the photocatalytic activity is enhanced approximately 17.8 times compared to that of the pristine TiO₂. The dramatic enhancement of activity is attributed to the nitrogen contents and rGO effectively promoting charge-separation efficiency and providing abundant catalytically active sites to enhance the reactivity. The composites also showed improved pollutant adsorption capacity, electron–hole pair lifetime, light absorption capability, and absorbance of visible light.     

Characterization and photocatalytic activity of Zn–TiO2/AC composite photocatalyst

Activated carbon (AC) supported Zn²⁺–TiO₂ photocatalyst was prepared by sol–gel method. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron micrograph, nitrogen absorption, diffuse reflectance UV/VIS and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Using toluene as a pollution target, the photocatalytic activity of photocatalyst was evaluated. The results showed that prepared photocatalyst was obviously helpful for the removal of toluene in air. The photocatalytic degradation of toluene by Zn²⁺–TiO₂/AC reached 100% for 40 min and remained 75% after 160 min, while degradation by TiO₂ was only 30%. It indicated that the photocatalytic activity of prepared photocatalyst was enhanced. It is due to Zn²⁺-doping increased the oxidation and reduction of hole–electron pairs, which was the important factor in heterogeneous photocatalysis.     

Effect of surface ethoxy groups on photoactivity of TiO2 nanocrystals

TiO₂ nanocrystals modified by ethoxy groups were prepared by a facile nonhydrolytic solvothermal method and characterized by XRD, TEM, TG-DTA and XPS, which showed an enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity on the degradation of Rhodamine B compared with TiO₂ modified by benzyloxy groups and the “naked” TiO₂. The adsorption and degradation pathway of Rhodamine B on TiO₂ modified by ethoxy groups were also investigated. The zeta-potential (ζ) results showed that the TiO₂ modified by ethoxy groups had high negative surface charge, which incited the positive -N(Et)₂ group of RhB absorbing on the TiO₂ surface and preferably led the N-dealkylation pathway under visible light irradiation.     

A novel approach towards high-performance composite photocatalyst of TiO2 deposited on activated carbon

TiO₂ photocatalysts deposited on activated carbon (TiO₂/AC) were prepared by dip-hydrothermal method at 180 °C using peroxotitanate as a precursor, then calcinated at 300-800 °C. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and the nitrogen absorption. Their photocatalytic activity was evaluated by degradation of methyl orange (MO). The results showed that TiO₂ particles of anatase type were well deposited on the activated carbon surface. TiO₂/AC calcinated at 600 °C exhibited the best photocatalytic performance. For the comparison, the same photocatalysis experiment was carried out for two mixtures of commercial TiO₂ (Degussa P25) with AC and synthetic TiO₂ with AC. It was found that the composite catalyst TiO₂/AC was better than the two mixtures. Besides, different from fine powdered TiO₂, the granular TiO₂/AC photocatalysts could be easily separated from the bulk solution and reused; indeed, its photocatalytic ability was hardly decreased after a five-cycle for MO degradation. The kinetics of the MO degradation fitted well the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model.
