采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了LiF掺杂的TiO2光催化剂,并采用X射线衍射、X射线光电子能谱和光致发光光谱等技术对样品进行了表征.以亚甲基蓝的光催化降解为反应模型,考察了LiF掺杂量、退火温度和溶液pH值对催化剂光催化性能的影响.结果表明,LiF的掺杂降低了金红石相的形成温度,同时在TiO2表面引入大量羟基氧并提高了TiO2表面氧空穴浓度,因此提高了TiO2的光催化性能.在LiF掺杂量为8%,退火温度为500℃和反应液pH值为6.6的条件下,LiF掺杂的TiO2的光催化活性是未掺杂TiO2的6倍.     

Pd/N共掺杂TiO_2的制备及其光催化活性

将纳米管TiO2浸入含尿素和硝酸钯的乙醇溶液中,将乙醇超声挥发后所得样品先在空气中600℃下煅烧,再在H2气氛中400℃中热还原,得到Pd/N共掺杂TiO2.分别采用DRS、X射线衍射仪及X射线光电子能谱仪分析了掺杂TiO2样品的光吸收能力、晶体结构及表面化学组成;并评价了其对紫外光和可见光照下丙烯降解反应的催化活性.结果表明,共掺杂TiO2样品的活性优于单一Pd或N掺杂TiO2.其原因在于,Pd和N共掺杂具有协同作用,从而共同提高了TiO2的光催化活性.

TiO2/Ti, TiO2/steel, TiO2/Al和TiO2/glass上TiO2的平均粒径分别是152, 205, 241和477 nm,且前两者的粒径分布较为集中. TiO2/Ti和TiO2/Al样品表面仅有Ti和O元素存在,而TiO2/steel和TiO2/glass表面则分别检测到有Fe和Na,Ca及Si等基材元素渗出. 各膜样品对苯甲酰胺光催化降解的活性次序是:TiO2/Ti＞TiO2/Al＞TiO2/glass＞TiO2/steel. 根据实验结果可以推测,在焙烧阶段各基材上前驱体膜烧结行为的不同以及基材元素的渗出是造成不同基材上的TiO2膜在表面形貌、化学组成、光吸收性能以及光催化活性方面存在明显差异的主要原因.

Wavelength-sensitive photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange in aqueous suspension over iron(III)-doped TiO2 nanopowders under UV and visible light irradiation

Well-crystallized iron(III)-doped TiO2 nanopowders with controlled Fe3+ doping concentration and uniform dopant distribution, have been synthesized with plasma oxidative pyrolysis. The photocatalytic reactivity of the synthesized TiO2 nanopowders with a mean particle size of 50-70 nm was quantified in terms of the degradation rates of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous TiO2 suspension under UV (mainly 365 and 316 nm) and visible light irradiation (mainly 405 and 436 nm). The photodecomposition of MO over TiO2 nanopowders followed a distinct two-stage pseudo first order kinetics. Interestingly, the photocatalytic reactivity depends not only on the iron doping concentration but also on the wavelength of the irradiating light. Under UV irradiation, nominally undoped TiO2 had much higher reactivity than Fe3+ -doped TiO2, suggesting that Fe3+ doping (> 0.05 at. %) in TiO2 with a mean particle size of approximately 60 nm was detrimental to the photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange. Whereas, under visible light irradiation, the Fe3+ -doped TiO2 with an intermediate iron doping concentration of approximately 1 at. % had the highest photocatalytic reactivity due to the narrowing of band gap so that it could effectively absorb the light with longer wavelength. A strategy for improving the photocatalytic reactivity of Fe3+ -doped TiO2 used in the visible light region is also proposed.     

纳米管钛酸CO处理产物的结构及光催化活性

碳和钇共掺杂对混相TiO2光催化性能的影响

TiO2因其毒性低、稳定性高、制备成本低廉而获得广泛应用,特别是作为光催化剂在降解环境污染物方面受到了广泛关注;然而,纯TiO2较大的光生载流子复合率和较宽的带隙限制了其应用.元素掺杂作为一种拓宽光催化剂光吸收能力的方法广泛应用于各种光催化剂的修饰改性,而两种具有光催化性能的TiO2相共存则能有效抑制光生载流子的复合,因此采取合适的方法有效利用这两种TiO2改性的方法制备得到更具实际应用潜质的光催化剂具有一定的可行性.本文通过简单的溶胶-凝胶过程向锐钛矿相与金红石相组成的混相TiO2中共掺杂碳和钇得到了一种活性较高的可见光响应光催化剂.采用粉末X射线衍射、拉曼光谱、X射线光电子能谱和透射电镜等表征手段研究了碳和钇掺杂对TiO2结构的影响,发现碳掺杂有利于金红石相的形成且材料具有更大的晶粒尺寸,钇掺杂则有利于锐钛矿相的形成且能细化材料的晶粒尺寸,提高材料的比表面积,导致材料更好的光催化活性.材料在30 W荧光灯光照条件下的光催化降解亚甲基蓝(MB)性能的研究显示,C-Y-TiO2样品具有比单掺杂和未掺杂样品更高的光催化活性,其顺序为C-Y-TiO2>Y-TiO2>C-TiO2>TiO2≈P25.此外,降解反应动力学研究表明C-Y-TiO2样品光降解MB的速率是未掺杂样品在相同条件下降解速率的3.5倍.不同钇掺杂含量样品的结构和光催化降解MB的研究结果表明,钇掺杂显著促进了锐钛矿相TiO2的形成.这说明钇可能仅掺杂进入锐钛矿相,因此合适的钇掺杂量才能有效形成最优化的光催化性能的混相TiO2.不同热处理温度下获得的样品的光降解MB特性也表明,一定的热处理温度有利于合适的锐钛矿相和金红石相的组成,从而有利于相间的协同效应.紫外-可见光谱和荧光光谱表征分析表明,碳和钇的掺杂都拓展了其吸收光谱到可见光区域,且抑制了光生电子和空穴对的复合,进而提高了材料的光催化活性.碳和钇共掺杂的混相TiO2具有较高可见光光催化活性的主要原因有两个方面:一是元素掺杂减小了TiO2的带隙使得材料具有可见光响应;二是金属和非金属元素在锐钛矿相与金红石相TiO2中不同的掺杂特性形成的协同效应,抑制了光生电子和空穴的复合.     

A simple route for the preparation of Eu, N-codoped TiO2 nanoparticles with enhanced visible light-induced photocatalytic activity

A simple route has been developed for the synthesis of europium, nitrogen-codoped titania photocatalysts under mild conditions (i.e., low temperature, < or = 348 K, and ambient pressure). The as-prepared photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) analyses. The results showed that the codoped photocatalyst with a spheroidal shape exhibited a smaller size than the undoped titania. The transformation from anatase to rutile was suppressed by doping with Eu and N atoms. Furthermore, the absorbance spectra of Eu, N-codoped TiO(2) exhibited a significant red shift to the visible region. The photocatalytic activity of Eu, N-codoped TiO(2) was evaluated by photodegradation of the dye reactive brilliant red X-3B under visible light. This codoped sample exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to N-doped TiO(2), pure TiO(2), and P25.     

Fabrication and photocatalytic characterizations of ordered nanoporous X-doped (X = N, C, S, Ru, Te, and Si) TiO2/Al2O3 films on ITO/glass

Transparent, ordered nanoporous TiO2/Al2O3 composite films doped with metal elements (Ru, Si, and Te) and nonmetal elements (N, C, and S) were fabricated by successive anodization and sol-gel process directly on glass substrates covered with a tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) film. The doping of ruthenium, nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur in TiO2 exhibited an enhanced effect on the absorbance, while the doping of silicon and tellurium showed little effect. Particularly, the N- and Ru-doped TiO2/Al2O3 films on ITO/glass developed an enhanced absorption red shift of 580 nm (-N) and 500 nm (-Ru). The nanoporous TiO2/Al2O3 composite film exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity in decomposing acetaldehyde under ultraviolet-light irradiation, with a value of 13 times in initial reaction rate or 7.8 times in quantum yield higher than a commercially available TiO2 material, Degussa P25. The ultraviolet-light photocatalytic activities of nanoporous TiO2/Al2O3 films were enhanced by the doping of nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur but slightly weakened by the doping of ruthenium, silicon, and tellurium. Particularly, the nanoporous N-doped TiO2/Al2O3 films exhibited effective photocatalytic activity on ultraviolet light decomposition of a highly toxic dioxin, HpCDD, and gave the highest decomposition rate of approximately 95% (via 7 h of irradiation) for the specimen with a dopant content of 1.7 wt % nitrogen.     

碳掺杂的二氧化钛纳米管的制备及其可见光催化性能

以尿素作为碳元素前驱体对TiO2纳米管进行掺杂,采用比表面积测定、X射线衍射、透射电子显微镜、能量色散X射线荧光光谱、X射线光电子能谱、固体漫反射紫外-可见吸收光谱和荧光光谱对产物进行了表征。 结果表明,以尿素作为前驱体可制备C掺杂的TiO2纳米管,C掺杂后,TiO2纳米管的可见光催化活性明显提高。 此外,研究了C掺杂量、煅烧温度、催化剂用量和pH值对TiO2纳米管光催化降解活性的影响,发现当C的掺杂量为5.3%、催化剂用量为1.5 g/L、溶液的pH值为5时,在其催化作用下,可见光光照3 h后罗丹明B的降解率可达到91%。

以TiCl4为钛源,离子液体-水为混合溶剂,采用液相水解-沉淀法制得浅黄色的N、F共掺杂宽光域响应多孔TiO2光催化剂(TiONF).以苯酚为模型物,考察了TiONF在紫外光区、可见光区及太阳光下催化活性.采用X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(DRS)、透射电镜(TEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱及低温N2吸附-脱附等技术对TiONF的结构进行表征.结果表明,在离子液体-水混合介质中合成适量N、F共掺杂的TiO2在紫外光区、可见光区及太阳光下均表现出较高的活性,且高于纯水介质中合成TiONF的活性.离子液体-水混合介质有利于N、F进入TiO2晶格中;N、F共掺杂后在TiO2表面生成Ti―O―N键,形成新的能级结构,使催化剂的吸收红移至450-530nm,诱发TiO2可见光催化活性;同时,N、F共掺杂提高了TiO2表面羟基数量;还提高了TiO2相转变温度,减缓了相转变速率.另外,在离子液体-水混合介质中合成的TiONF较纯水介质中合成的TiONF粒子小、分散性好、比表面积大.     

Mechanistic studies of the photocatalytic oxidation of trichloroethylene with visible-light-driven N-doped TiO2 photocatalysts

Visible-light-driven TiO2 photocatalysts doped with nitrogen have been prepared as powders and thin films in a cylindrical tubular furnace under a stream of ammonia gas. The photocatalysts thus obtained were found to have a band-gap energy of 2.95 eV. Electron spin resonance (ESR) under irradiation with visible light (lambda > or = 430 nm) afforded the increase in intensity in the visible-light region. The concentration of trapped holes was about fourfold higher than that of trapped electrons. Nitrogen-doped TiO2 has been used to investigate mechanistically the photocatalytic oxidation of trichloroethylene (TCE) under irradiation with visible light (lambda > or = 420 nm). Cl and O radicals, which contribute significantly to the generation of dichloroacetyl chloride (DCAC) in the photocatalytic oxidation of TCE under UV irradiation, were found to be deactivated under irradiation with visible light. As the main by-product, only phosgene was detected in the photocatalytic oxidation of TCE under irradiation with visible light. Thus, the reaction mechanism of TCE photooxidation under irradiation with visible light clearly differs markedly from that under UV irradiation. Based on the results of the present study, we propose a new reaction mechanism and adsorbed species for the photocatalytic oxidation of TCE under irradiation with visible light. The energy band for TiO2 by doping with nitrogen may involve an isolated band above the valence band.     

Titania supported gold nanoparticles as photocatalyst

This Perspective is focused on the photocatalytic activity of gold nanoparticles supported on titania (Au/TiO(2)). Titania is the most widely used photocatalyst, but its limited activity under visible light irradiation has motivated the quest for modified titania materials absorbing visible light. The review starts by justifying how doping with metallic elements is a related strategy, but different, to that leading to the use of Au/TiO(2) in photocatalysis. Data supporting and confirming the photoactivity of gold nanoparticles in colloidal solutions are briefly presented to justify the possibility of gold photosensitization of titania by electron injection into the conduction band. After describing the most common procedures used to prepare Au/TiO(2), the central part of this article is focused on the photocatalytic activity reported for Au/TiO(2) for hydrogen generation, dye decoloration, phenol decomposition and carboxylic acid degradation, among other processes. Emphasis is given to the role that parameters like Au loading, particle size, surface area, spatial structuring and others play on the photocatalytic activity. One important issue has been to distinguish those reports using visible light from those other in which direct titania excitation by UV light has been used. These Au/TiO(2) photocatalysts can find real applications in the near future for environmental remediation and for hydrogen generation.
