Preparation and characterization of ZnTiO<Subscript>3</Subscript>–TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/pillared montmorillonite composite catalyst for enhanced photocatalytic activity

ZnTiO₃–TiO₂/organic pillared montmorillonite (pMt) composite catalyst was successfully prepared in this paper by immobilizing ZnTiO₃–TiO₂ onto pMt. The composition and texture of the prepared composite catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, ultraviolet–visible light (UV–Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity was tested via photocatalytic degradation of methyl blue (MB) under both visible irradiation and UV light. The results indicated that the ZnTiO₃–TiO₂/pMt composite catalyst had an apparent absorption at the area of visible irradiation, and exhibited a higher efficiency of photocatalytic degredation of MB under visible irradiation. This was due to the heterostructure of ZnTiO₃–TiO₂, and the mesoporous structure and specific surface area of the ZnTiO₃–TiO₂/pMt composite. In addition, the results of the radical scavenging experiments showed that the holes and superoxide radicals are responsible for the degradation of MB under visible irradiation.     

Thermal and photocatalytic behavior of Ti/LDH nanocomposites

The development of nanocomposite photocatalyst based on layered double hydroxides (LDHs) associated with TiO₂ was the subject of this research. The thermally activated Zn–Al LDHs were selected as catalyst support precursor because of their proven photocatalytic activity and therefore their possible contribution to overall activity of novel Ti–Zn–Al nanocomposite. The catalyst precursor (Zn–Al LDH) was synthesized by low supersaturation coprecipitation method, and its association with active TiO₂ component targeting the formation of novel Ti–Zn–Al nanocomposite was achieved by wet impregnation. Simultaneous thermal analysis (TG–DTA) was used to investigate the thermal behavior of Zn–Al LDH and Ti–Zn–Al LDHs. Complementary, morphology, texture, and structure characterization was carried out. The photocatalytic test reaction was performed under UV light using the methylene blue degradation. The results confirmed a successful impregnation of TiO₂ on catalyst support precursor Zn–Al–LDH followed by considerable change in morphology and structure of Zn–Al LDH precursor. It was concluded that the synergic effect between TiO₂ and Zn–Al LDH precursor contributes to the overall photocatalytic activity.     

Gold particles supported on self-organized nanotubular TiO2 matrix as highly active catalysts for electrochemical oxidation of glucose

Au/TiO₂/Ti electrode was prepared by a two-step process of anodic oxidation of titanium followed by cathodic electrodeposition of gold on resulted TiO₂. The morphology and surface analysis of Au/TiO₂/Ti electrodes was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and EDAX, respectively. The results indicated that gold particles were homogeneously deposited on the surface of TiO₂ nanotubes. The nanotubular TiO₂ layers consist of individual tubes of about 60–90 nm in diameter, and the electrode surface was covered by gold particles with a diameter of about 100–200 nm which are distributed evenly on the titanium dioxide nanotubes. This nanotubular TiO₂ support provides a high surface area and therefore enhances the electrocatalytic activity of Au/TiO₂/Ti electrode. The electrocatalytic behavior of Au/TiO₂/Ti electrodes in the glucose electro-oxidation was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The results showed that Au/TiO₂/Ti electrodes exhibit a considerably higher electrocatalytic activity toward the glucose oxidation than that of gold electrode.     

Controllable preparation of nanosized TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> thin film and relationship between structure of film and its photocatalytic activity

TiO₂ nano-crystalline film and fixed bed photocatalytic reactor were prepared by the sol-gel process using tetrabutylorthotitanate as a precursor and glass tube as the substrate. XRD, AFM, SEM and thickness analysis results indicate that the preparation of nano-crystalline film can be controlled by optimizing experiment process. Under the optimized process, the phase of TiO₂ in film is anatase, and the grain size is 3–4 nm. The size of particles, which is about 20-80 nm, can be controlled. The thickness of monolayer film is in nanometer grade. The thickness and particles size in films growing on nanometer film can also be controlled in nanometer grade. As a result, the crack of film can be effectively avoided. Rhodamine degradation results using UV-Vis spectrophotometer show that the activity of nano-crystalline film in the photocatalytic reactor has a good relation with the diameter of TiO₂ particles, that is, the film shows high activity when the size is 20 –30 nm and greatly reduced when the size is above 60 nm. The activity of film does not decrease with the increase of film thickness, and this result indicates that nano-crystalline film has no ill influence on the transmissivity of ultraviolet light.     

Studies on photocatalytic activity of Ag/TiO2 films

Ag/TiO₂ photocatalytic films were produced by hybrid sol-gel method. The photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solution under 365 nm irradiation on TiO₂ and Ag/TiO₂ thin films was investigated. The state and amount of Ag species within the film and the enhancement mechanism of photocatalytic activity of Ag/TiO₂ were discussed. With a loading molar ratio of Ag/Ti = 0.135 in TiO₂ film, the maximum catalytic efficiency was observed. __________ Translated from Journal of Beijing Normal University (Natural Sciences), 2005, 41(6) (in Chinese)     

可移动金核的二氧化钛空心球合成及光催化性质

Uniform hollow Au@TiO₂ core shell spheres with moveable Au nanoparticles were synthesized based on templating against Au@carbon spheres. The diameter of the shell of the Au@TiO₂ spheres could be controlled by adjusting the Ti(OC₄H₉)₄ hydrolyzing reaction time or the ratio of Ti(OC₄H₉)₄ to Au@carbon spheres, and the shell thickness of the core-shell spheres can be varied from 25 nm to 40 nm. As prepared hollow Au@TiO₂ core-shell spheres display enhanced photocatalytic activity in the initial stage of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue compared with pure hollow TiO₂ spheres and the commercial photocatalyst TiO₂(P-25).     

Hydrothermal synthesis of graphene-ZnTiO<Subscript>3</Subscript> nanocomposites with enhanced photocatalytic activities

Pure phase ZnTiO₃ was prepared through a sol–gel process, then graphene-ZnTiO₃ nanocomposites were synthesized by a hydrothermal method using the prepared ZnTiO₃ nanoparticles and graphene oxide as precursors. X-ray diffraction results revealed the production of pure cubic ZnTiO₃ at 600 °C. ZnTiO₃ was anchored on the graphene nanosheets, demonstrating a spherical morphology in transmission electron microscope images. The existence of chemical bond Ti–O–C in the nanocomposites was proved by Fourier-transforming infrared spectroscopy. UV–Vis diffusive reflection spectra indicated that the absorption edge of the nanocomposites shifted towards the visible region. The photocatalytic activity of the composites was tested through the photocatalytic degradation of methyl blue under simulated solar irradiation. The results showed that the photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposites was obviously increased in contrast to pure ZnTiO₃, which was strongly affected by the crystalline structure of ZnTiO₃ and the concentration of graphene. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was mainly attributed to the conglomeration inhibition of ZnTiO₃ nanoparticles, the electron transfer between ZnTiO₃ and graphene and the extended absorption range. Furthermore, other contaminants such as tetracycline, Rhodamine B and methyl orange were tested under the same conditions to investigate the photocatalytic performance of the photocatalysts. The reusability tests indicated that the prepared composites exhibited good stability.

Synthesis of ZnTiO3/tourmaline/Ni foam catalyst and enhanced photocatalytic performance

ZnTiO₃/tourmaline loaded on the nickel foam (ZnTiO₃/tourmaline/Ni-foam) is prepared by a facile coating method. Morphology and structure of the photocatalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electrons microscopy (SEM), raman spectroscopy, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV–vis DRS) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The photocatalytic properties of the materials were tested by using the Rhodamine B (RhB) solution as the target pollutant. The results indicates that the ZnTiO₃/tourmaline/Ni foam exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than that of ZnTiO₃ and ZnTiO₃/Ni foam under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation, and its degradation rate was up to 99.2%. Moreover, the degradation rate remained at 91.3% after eight consecutive photocatalytic reaction cycles. The outstanding photocatalytic performances of ZnTiO₃/tourmaline/Ni foam was mainly attributed to the existence of tourmaline, which can help to inhibit the recombination of electron-hole paris, and the proper pore structure of the carrier. Meanwhile, the trapping experiments indicated that ·O₂^– was the main active species in the photocatalytic degradation of RhB.     

Effects of urea on the microstructure and photocatalytic activity of bimodal mesoporous titania microspheres

Bimodal mesoporous TiO₂ microspheres with high photocatalytic activity were prepared by a hydrothermal method using titanium sulfate as precursor in the presence of urea. The results indicate that all prepared samples show bimodal pore-size distributions in the mesoporous region: smaller intra-aggregated pores with peak pore diameter of ca. 2 nm and larger inter-aggregated pores with peak pore diameter of ca. 12.5 nm. The molar ratio of urea to Ti(SO₄)₂ (R_u) has an obvious influence on the morphology, microstructure and photocatalytic activity of TiO₂. With increasing R_u, specific surface areas and porosity increase, contrarily, the crystallite size and relative anatase crystallinity decrease. The photocatalytic activity first increases with R_u. At R_u = 2.0, the photocatalytic activity reaches the highest and is obviously higher than that of Degussa P25. With further increasing R_u, the photocatalytic activity decreases. The formation rate of hydroxyl radicals during photocatalysis has a positive correlation with the photocatalytic activity.
