活性氧自由基生成及传输对g-C_3N_4上NO光催化去除的影响:原位红外光谱与计算模拟结合法（英文）

石墨相氮化碳(g-C_3N_4)具有独特的二维层状结构和合适的能带结构,因而在可见光催化领域广受关注.尤其是在可见光去除环境污染物领域,得到了较为充分的研究与应用.然而g-C_3N_4去除环境污机理的反应机理尚不明确.因此,本文采用理论计算与实验高度结合的研究方法,以光催化NO去除为例,深入阐述了光照下g-C_3N_4表面活性氧物种(ROS)的生成及转化过程,及其介导下的NO光催化氧化机理.X射线衍射结果表明,g-C_3N_4是三嗪环层内聚合后层层堆叠而成,并由红外光谱确定了其表面的官能团类型.该结构经扫描电镜和透射电镜得到了进一步的验证.采用光致激发谱和紫外可见漫反射光谱等实验表征与密度泛函理论计算结合的光电性质分析,我们发现,g-C_3N_4在可见光下具有一定的响应,这为其在光催化去除NO中奠定了基础.同时,其价带位置过高,无法自行产生氧化性较强的羟基自由基(.OH).电子自旋共振技术结果表明g-C_3N_4在光照下能捕获到·O_2~-和·OH两种活性自由基.采用反应路径计算发现,·OH是由·O_2~-在导带上逐步得到电子被还原而生成,其中的速率控制步骤是H_2O_2的解离.因此,促进O_2分子的吸附和活化和克服H_2O_2解离的反应活化能是产生·OH和提升g-C_3N_4光催化氧化活性的关键.采用原位红外光谱技术对g-C_3N_4上NO的氧化去除过程进行了表征,发现其主要中间产物为NO_2,主要终产物为NO_2~-和NO_3~-,采用反应路径计算对该反应过程进行了理论模拟,发现在·O_2~-介导下,最高反应活化能为0.66 eV,而在·OH介导下,该活化能降低至0.46 eV,表明·OH的氧化性要明显强于·O_2~-.总之,本文采用一种可行的、高度结合的实验与计算手段研究了g-C_3N_4上ROS的生成及转化过程及其对NO去除的反应历程,在原子尺度揭示了该反应的机理,加深了对ROS在光催化环境污染物降解过程中作用的理解.

Investigation of Electron Behavior in Nano‐TiO2 Photocatalysis by Using In Situ Open‐Circuit Voltage and Photoconductivity Measurements

The in situ open‐circuit voltages (V_oc) and the in situ photoconductivities have been measured to study electron behavior in photocatalysis and its effect on the photocatalytic oxidation of methanol. It was observed that electron injection to the conduction band (CB) of TiO₂ under light illumination during photocatalysis includes two sources: from the valence band (VB) of TiO₂ and from the methanol molecule. The electron injection from methanol to TiO₂ is slower than that directly from the VB, which indicates that the adsorption mode of methanol on the TiO₂ surface can change between dark and illuminated states. The electron injection from methanol to the CB of TiO₂ leads to the upshift of the Fermi level of electrons in TiO₂, which is the thermodynamic driving force of photocatalytic oxidation. It was also found that the charge state of nano‐TiO₂ is continuously changing during photocatalysis as electrons are injected from methanol to TiO₂. Combined with the apparent Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic model, the relation between photocatalytic kinetics and electrons in the TiO₂ CB was developed and verified experimentally. The photocatalytic rate constant is the variation of the Fermi level with time, based on which a new method was developed to calculate the photocatalytic kinetic rate constant by monitoring the change of V_oc with time during photocatalysis.     

TiO2 photocatalysis: Design and applications

TiO₂ photocatalysis is widely used in a variety of applications and products in the environmental and energy fields, including self-cleaning surfaces, air and water purification systems, sterilization, hydrogen evolution, and photoelectrochemical conversion. The development of new materials, however, is strongly required to provide enhanced performances with respect to the photocatalytic properties and to find new uses for TiO₂ photocatalysis. In this review, recent developments in the area of TiO₂ photocatalysis research, in terms of new materials from a structural design perspective, have been summarized. The dimensionality associated with the structure of a TiO₂ material can affect its properties and functions, including its photocatalytic performance, and also more specifically its surface area, adsorption, reflectance, adhesion, and carrier transportation properties. We provide a brief introduction to the current situation in TiO₂ photocatalysis, and describe structurally controlled TiO₂ photocatalysts which can be classified into zero-, one-, two-, and three-dimensional structures. Furthermore, novel applications of TiO₂ surfaces for the fabrication of wettability patterns and for printing are discussed.     

TiO2 photocatalysis for the degradation of pollutants in gas phase: From morphological design to plasmonic enhancement

TiO₂-based photocatalysis has become a viable technology in various application fields such as (waste)water purification, photovoltaics/artificial photosynthesis, environmentally friendly organic synthesis and remediation of air pollution. Because of the increasing impact of bad air quality worldwide, this review focuses on the use and optimization of TiO₂-based photocatalysts for gas phase applications. Over the past years various specific aspects of TiO₂ photocatalysis have been reviewed individually. The intent of this review is to offer a broad tutorial on (recent) trends in TiO₂ photocatalyst modification for the intensification of photocatalytic air treatment. After briefly introducing the fundamentals of photocatalysis, TiO₂ photocatalyst modification is discussed both on a morphological and an electronic level from the perspective of gas phase applications. The main focus is laid on recent developments, but also possible opportunities to the field. This review is intended as a solid introduction for researchers new to the field, as well as a summarizing update for established investigators.     

TiO2光催化反应机理及动力学研究进展

Recent advances in heterogeneous TiO2 photocatalysis

Current progress in the area of photocatalysis is presented, particularly regarding technological applications. Highly efficient TiO₂ films on different substrates such as tile and glass have been developed for indoor environmental clean-up. TiO₂ films coated on SiO₂-precoated soda lime glass showed about 80% transparency and high photocatalytic activity towards the decomposition of thin oil films. A novel phenomenon, superhydrophilicity, has been observed on these transparent TiO₂ coatings. In addition, we have made use of a microelectrode system to monitor oxidation and reduction products separately. The mechanistic and kinetic aspects of TiO₂ photocatalysis are discussed.     

Mechanistic Studies of TiO2 Photocatalysis and Fenton Degradation of Hydrophobic Aromatic Pollutants in Water

HO–adduct radicals have been investigated and confirmed as the common initial intermediates in TiO₂ photocatalysis and Fenton degradations of water‐insoluble aromatics. However, the evolution of HO–adduct radicals to phenols has not been completely clarified. When 4‐d‐toluene and p‐xylene were degraded by TiO₂ photocatalysis and Fenton reactions, respectively, a portion of the 4‐deuterium or 4‐CH₃ group (18–100 %) at the attacked ipso position shifted to the adjacent position of the ring in the formed phenols (NIH shift; NIH is short for the National Institutes of Health, to honor the place where this phenomenon was first discovered). The results, combined with the observation of a key dienyl cationic intermediate by in situ attenuated total reflectance FTIR spectroscopy, indicate that, for the evolution of HO–adduct radicals, a mixed mechanism of both the carbocation intermediate pathway and O₂‐capturing pathway occurs in both aqueous TiO₂ photocatalysis and aqueous Fenton reactions.     

Synergistic effect of sonolysis and photocatalysis in the degradation kinetics of effluent solution

In this study, degradation of the effluent solution using sonolysis, sonocatalysis, photocatalysis and sonophotocatalysis was investigated. For this purpose, an artificial effluent solution (AES) containing Acid Black 1 and Acid Blue 62 dyestuffs was prepared. The initial AES concentration, catalyst amount, light intensity and the power of ultrasound energy were chosen as the reaction parameters.The degradation rate of AES followed the pseudo-first order kinetics inconcentration of artificial effluent solution. The results showed that the sonophotocatalysis (US + UV + TiO₂) was more effective in the degradation than sonolysis (US), sonocatalysis (US + TiO2) and photocatalysis (UV + TiO₂) performed individually. The highest and lowest degradation rates were obtained in sonophotocatalytic process and sonolytic process (US), respectively. It was found also that the synergistic effect between sonolysis and photocatalysis processes is the main reason why the maximum degradation is achievable in the sonophotocatalytic process.
