用水热法制备不同形貌的掺钕钛酸铋(Bi3.25Nd0.75Ti3O12,BNdT)纳米粉体.透射电子显微镜(TEM)结果表明,通过控制OH-浓度可以得到不同形貌的纳米粉体.基于不同条件下制备的样品微结构分析,提出了这些不同形貌的形成机制.紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)表明BNdT样品的带隙能(Eg)约为1.984 eV.利用可见光照射下甲基橙降解实验评价了BNdT样品的光催化性能.结果表明,BNdT的光催化活性比商用TiO2催化剂P25和掺氮TiO2高得多.OH-浓度为10 mol·L-1时制备的BNdT纳米线光催化效率最高,经可见光照射360min,浓度为0.01 mmol·L-1甲基橙溶液的降解率可达到93.0%,且循环使用4次后,其光催化活性并没有明显降低,表明BNdT是一种稳定有效的可见光催化剂.     

Low-temperature hydrothermal synthesis of S-doped TiO2 with visible light photocatalytic activity

A one-step low-temperature hydrothermal route was developed for the synthesis of S-doped TiO₂ photocatalysts from TiS₂ and HCl. Crystalline TiO₂ was formed and sulfur could be efficiently doped into the anatase lattice under hydrothermal conditions. When the initial TiS₂ concentration is increased, the content of S-dopant and optical absorption in the visible region also increase. The photocatalytic activity of the S-doped TiO₂ was evaluated through the degradation of 4-chlorophenol under visible light irradiation. Our results show that the S-doped TiO₂ prepared by this hydrothermal approach possesses much higher photocatalytic activity than that obtained by the traditional high-temperature thermal annealing method.

A new acidic Ti sol impregnated kaolin photocatalyst: synthesis, characterization and visible light photocatalytic performance

In this study, a photocatalyst with visible light photocatalytic activity was obtained using raw materials, including commercial TiO₂, sulfuric acid, and calcined kaolin (CK). The photocatalyst was prepared via a dissolving/impregnating process, in which acidic Ti sol was obtained by initially dissolving TiO₂ particles in sulfuric acid, and then using the sol as impregnant for the CK. The prepared photocatalyst had wide spectral region and narrow band gap. In addition, the impregnation can create acid sites on the obtained composite surface and consequently improve the activity. A series of tests was performed to characterize the properties of the prepared samples. The visible light photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) in an aqueous solution was used as a probe reaction to evaluate the photocatalytic activities of the obtained samples. Under visible light irradiation, approximately 80 % of MO (with initial concentration of 20 mg/m³) was degraded in 3 h on the photocatalyst prepared by impregnating CK in acidic Ti sol, which was obtained using approximately 60 % H₂SO₄ solution followed by calcination at 400 °C. The acidity of the photocatalyst is the main factor that affects the catalytic activity of the photocatalytic degradation of MO.

LaCoO_3-TiO_2纳米管阵列的构筑及可见光光催化性能

TiO_2纳米管阵列具有较高的光催化活性,但可见光吸收弱,限制了其太阳能利用和环境应用。窄带隙的钙钛矿(ABO3)型氧化物能够吸收大范围波段的可见光,且稳定性高,但光催化活性低。本文首先采用溶胶-凝胶法合成了LaCoO_3纳米颗粒,然后利用电泳沉积技术将LaCoO_3纳米颗粒修饰于TiO_2纳米管阵列表面,构筑了LaCoO_3-TiO_2纳米管阵列。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)的表征结果显示溶胶-凝胶法合成的纳米颗粒为LaCoO_3,其尺寸均匀,结晶度高,平均粒径约为100nm。LaCoO_3纳米颗粒与TiO_2纳米管阵列之间的结合力好。紫外可见吸收光谱(DRS)显示,随着电泳沉积时间的延长,LaCoO_3-TiO_2纳米管阵列的吸收带边逐渐红移700nm。可见光下光催化降解甲基橙(MO)的结果表明,电泳沉积15 min制得的LaCoO_3-TiO_2纳米管阵列对MO的光催化效率最高,其降解速率是相同条件下TiO_2纳米管阵列的4倍。光致发光光谱和电化学阻抗谱证实LaCoO_3纳米颗粒的负载有效地促进了光生电荷的分离和传输,可见光光催化活性明显增强。

Enhanced Photocatalytic Denitrification Rhodamine Bover In_2O_3/Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) Nanocomposites under Visible Light Irradiation

A novel In_2O_3/Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) composite photocatalyst, where In_2O_3 nanoparticles with the diameter of about 5~10 nm were tightly attached on the surface of Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) plates, was prepared by using hydrolysis, impregnation method and post-thermal process. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of Rhodamine B under the visible light irradiation. Effects of the contents of In_2O_3 nanoparticles on the optical property and photocatalytic activity of In_2O_3/Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) composite were also investigated. Compared with neat In_2O_3 and Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) materials, 15 In_2O_3/Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) composite exhibits the best photocatalytic activity owing to the efficient separation of photogenerated electron and hole pairs, which is evidenced by photoluminence spectra. More than 95% of Rhodamine B solution can be degraded by 15 In_2O_3/Bi_(24)O_(31)Br_(10) sample in 30 min.     

Effect of nitrogen-doping temperature on the structure and photocatalytic activity of the B,N-doped TiO2

B,N-TiO₂ photocatalysts were synthesized by boron doping firstly and subsequently nitrogen doping in NH₃ at variable temperatures. The effects of the nitrogen doping temperature on the structure and photocatalytic activity of the B,N-codoped TiO₂ were investigated. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The photocatalytic activity was evaluated with photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange dye (MO) under visible light and UV-visible light irradiation. The results suggested that the boron and nitrogen can be incorporated into the TiO₂ lattice either interstitially or substitutionally or both, while the Ti-O-B-N structure plays a vital role in photocatalytic activity in visible light region. The optimal nitrogen doping temperature is 550 °C. Higher temperature may form many oxygen vacancies and Ti³⁺ species, resulting in the decrease of photocatalytic activity in visible light.     

卟啉敏化的钛酸盐纳米管的可见光催化活性

制备了四碘化5,10,15,20-四(对-N,N,N三甲基苯胺基)卟啉敏化的钛酸盐纳米管(TAPPI-TNTs),并利用甲基橙(MO)作为模型污染物考察了其可见光催化活性。结果表明,TAPPI-TNTs是一个高效的可见光催化剂,在其催化作用下,可见光照射1 h后,甲基橙的降解率为89%。与此相反,纯钛酸盐纳米管并不具有可见光催化活性。此外,TAPPI-TNTs的稳定性较高,可以多次循环使用,在第五次循环中,甲基橙的降解率仍可达到50%以上。这可能是由于带正电荷的卟啉与带负电荷的钛酸盐纳米管之间存在着较强的静电吸引作用,卟啉紧密地吸附在钛酸盐纳米管上,导致卟啉的光激发电子易于向钛酸盐纳米管转移,从而使钛酸盐纳米管得到了有效敏化。

Co doped ZnO nanowires as visible light photocatalysts

High aspect ratio cobalt doped ZnO nanowires showing strong photocatalytic activity and moderate ferromagnetic behaviour were successfully synthesized using a solvothermal method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) and UV–visible absorption spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activities evaluated for visible light driven degradation of an aqueous methylene orange (MO) solution were higher than for Co doped ZnO nanoparticles at the same doping level and synthesized by the same synthesis route. The rate constant for MO visible light photocatalytic degradation was 1.9·10⁻³ min⁻¹ in case of nanoparticles and 4.2·10⁻³ min⁻¹ in case of nanowires. We observe strongly enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity for moderate Co doping levels, with an optimum at a composition of Zn_0.95Co_0.05O. The enhanced photocatalytic activities of Co doped ZnO nanowires were attributed to the combined effects of enhanced visible light absorption at the Co sites in ZnO nanowires, and improved separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers at optimal Co doping.

Photocatalytic applications of Au-deposited on TiO2 nanocomposite catalyst in dye degradation via photoreduction

The photocatalytic activity of gold deposited on Degussa P25 titanium dioxide (Au-DP25) in the photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) was investigated. The as-prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) techniques. The obtained results show that the gold (Au⁰) deposited TiO₂ exhibited visible light plasmon absorption band. The degradation experiment j reveals that the catalytic activity of Au-DP25 in the degradation of MO is higher than that of commercially available Degussa P25 TiO₂ (DP25) samples. In addition, the photocatalytic ability of composite Au-DP25 was hardly decreased after a five-cycle for MO degradation. The kinetics of the MO degradation fitted well the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model.     

Electronic Structure and Optical-absorption Properties of C-, N-, and S-doped BiOCl: the First-principles Calculations

Impurity formation energy, electronic structure, and photocatalytic properties of C-, N-, or S-doped BiOCl are investigated by density-functional theory plus U calculations(DFT + U). Results show that the doping effect of S is better than that of C or N on the tunable photocatalytic activities of BiOCl. At low concentration, S-doped BiOCl systems are the most stable under Bi-rich growth conditions because of their lower impurity-formation energy. Compared with the electronic structures of S-doped BiOCl, C-or N-doped BiOCl have relatively deeper impurity energy levels appearing in their band gap(except Bi_(36)O_(35)NCl_(36)), which may act as photogenerated carrier-recombination centers and reduce photocatalytic activity. At high concentration, S is substituted on the O lattice site system, whereas some S 3p states mix with the valence band; this mixture leads to an obvious band-gap decrease and continuum-state formation above the valence-band edge of BiOCl. Such activity is advantageous to photochemical catalysis response. Compared with pure Bi OCl and a low-concentration S-doped system, a high-concentration S-doped system shows an obvious redshift on the absorption edge and has better photocatalytic O_2 evolution performance.
