Synthesis of high surface area nanocrystalline anatase-TiO2 powders derived from particulate sol-gel route by tailoring processing parameters

Stabilised titania sols were prepared using an additive free particulate sol-gel route, via electrostatic stabilisation mechanism, with various processing parameters. Peptisation temperature, 50°C and 70°C, and TiO₂ concentration, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 molar, were chosen as processing parameters during sol preparation. Results from TiO₂ particle size and zeta potential of sols revealed that the smallest titania hydrodynamic diameter (13 nm) and the highest zeta potential (47.7 mV) were obtained for the sol produced at the lower peptisation temperature of 50°C and lower TiO₂ concentration of 0.1 M. On the other hand, between the sols prepared at 70°C, smaller titania particles (20 nm) and higher zeta potential (46.3 mV) were achieved with increasing TiO₂ concentration up to 0.4 M. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) results of produced powders annealed at different temperatures showed that the 300°C annealed powder made from 0.1 M sol prepared at 50°C was a mixture of anatase and brookite, corresponding to a major phase of anatase (∼95% estimated), with the smallest average crystallite size of 1.3 nm and the highest specific surface area (SSA) of 193 m²/g. Furthermore, increasing TiO₂ concentration up to 0.4 molar for the sols prepared at 70°C resulted in decreasing the average crystallite size (1.9 nm at 300°C) and increasing SSA (116 m²/g at 300°C) of the powders annealed at different temperatures. Anatase-to-rutile phase transformation temperature was increased with decreasing peptisation temperature down to 50°C, whereas TiO₂ concentration had no effect on this transition. Anatase percentage increased with decreasing both peptisation temperature and TiO₂ concentration. Such prepared powders can be used in many applications in areas from photo catalysts to gas sensors.     

Colloidal aspects relating to direct incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles into mesoporous spheres by an aerosol-assisted process

Titania nanoparticles have been incorporated into spherical mesoporous silica powders by an aerosol-assisted synthesis process from both aqueous and ethanol-based precursor dispersions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the titania nanoparticles exist as single particles or small aggregates within the mesoporous carrier particles and analysis of the nitrogen adsorption isotherms proved that the pore blocking of the particles is small. Particle size and zeta potential measurements showed that the addition of tetraethoxysiloxane (TEOS), and also hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (C16TAB) induced flocculation of the TiO2 nanoparticles. The higher yield and narrower size distribution of the composite powder produced from ethanol-based dispersions compared to the aqueous dispersions could be related to a smaller degree of aggregation, indicated by rheological measurements.     

Preparation and characterization of highly photoactive nanocrystalline TiO_2 powders by solvent evaporation- induced crystallization method

Highly photoactive bi-phase nanocrystalline TiO2 photocatalyst was prepared by a solvent evaporation-induced crystallization (SEIC) method, and calcined at different temperatures. The obtained TiO2 photocatalyst was characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and BET surface areas. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the photocatalytic oxidation of acetone in air. The results show that solvent evaporation can promote the crystallization and phase transformation of TiO2 at 100℃. When calcination temperatures are below 600℃, the prepared TiO2 powders show bimodal pore size distributions in the mesoporous region. At 700℃, the pore size distributions exhibit monomodal distribution of the inter-aggregated pores due to the collapse of the intra-aggregated pores. At 100℃, the obtained TiO2 photocatalyst by this method shows good photocatalytic activity, and at 400℃, its photocatalytic activity exceeds that of Degussa P25. This may be attributed to the fact t     

Synthesis of highly pure nanocrystalline and mesoporous CaTiO3 by a particulate sol–gel route at the low temperature

The low temperature perovskite-type calcium titanate (CaTiO₃) thin films and powders with nanocrystalline and mesoporous structure were prepared by a straightforward particulate sol–gel route. The prepared sol had a narrow particle size distribution about 17 nm. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that, the synthesized powders had highly pure and crystallized CaTiO₃ structure with preferable orientation growth along (1 2 1) direction at 400–800 °C. The activation energy of crystal growth was calculated 5.73 kJ/mol. Furthermore, transmission electron microscope images showed that the average crystallite size of the powders annealed at 400 °C was around 3.5 nm. Field emission scanning electron microscope analysis and atomic force microscope images revealed that, the deposited thin films had uniform, mesoporous and nanocrystalline structure with the average grain size in the range 33–39 nm depending on annealing temperature. Based on Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis, the synthesized powders showed mesoporous structure with BET surface area in the range 51–21 m²/g at 400–800 °C. One of the smallest crystallite size and one of the highest surface areas reported in the literature is obtained which can be used in many applications, such as photocatalysts.

The effect of F-doping and temperature on the structural and textural evolution of mesoporous TiO2 powders

Mesoporous F⁻-doped TiO₂ powders were prepared by hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) in a mixed NH₄F-H₂O solution. Effects of F⁻ ion content and calcination temperatures on the phase composition and porosity of mesoporous titania were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and BET surface areas. The results showed the BET surface area (S_BET) of the pure and doped powders dried at 100°C ranged from 260 to 310 m²/g as determined by nitrogen adsorption. With increasing calcination temperatures, the S_BET values of the calcined titania powders decreased due to the increase in crystalline size. The pore size distribution was bimodal with fine intra-particle pore and larger inter-particle pore as determined by nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The peak pore diameter of intra-particle pore increases with increasing F⁻ ion content. At 700°C, all the titania powders exhibit monomodal pore size distributions due to the complete collapse of the intra-particle pores. The crystallization of anatase was obviously enhanced due to F⁻-doping at 400°C and 500°C. Moreover, with increasing F⁻ ion concent, F⁻ ions not only suppressed the formation of brookite phase at low temperature, but also prevented phase transition of anatase to rutile at high temperature.     

The Effect of Alcohol Solvents on the Porosity and Phase Composition of Titania

Bimodally porous titania powders were made by hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) dissolved in various alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and sec-butanol). The specific surface area (SSA) of the powders dried at 150 degrees C ranged from 332 to 624 m(2)/g as determined by nitrogen adsorption. At excess alcohol concentration, the SSA of the dried powders decreased in the order of sec-butanol, iso-propanol, ethanol, and methanol at a constant alcohol/TTIP molar ratio. The pore size distribution was bimodal with fine intraparticle pore diameters at 1-6 nm and larger interparticle pore diameters at 30-120 nm as determined by nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The average intraparticle pore diameter decreased with increasing alcohol concentration for methanol and ethanol, while it was rather constant at 3.3 nm, irrespective of alcohol concentration for iso-propanol and sec-butanol. The evolution of particle phase composition was determined by X-ray diffraction ranging from amorphous to crystalline anatase and rutile largely proportional to the calcination temperature and to a lesser extent on the type and concentration of alcohols.

Microcalorimetric investigation of high-surface-area mesoporous titania samples for CO2 adsorption

Mesoporous titania powders were synthesized using the triblock copolymer F127 (PEO(106)PPO(70)PEO(106)) as a surfactant template. Two different procedures (ammonia and/or low-temperature treatment at 393 K) were successfully applied to stabilize the mesoporous structure, resulting in significantly increased surface areas and pore volumes with respect to those of the untreated titania powders. Three of these samples were chosen for further investigation by adsorption microcalorimetry. These samples are characterized by high surface areas (varying between 340 and 141 m (2) g (-1)) and a varying degree of crystallization (anatase phase). The samples were compared to nanosized anatase particles treated to 873 K. The adsorption microcalorimetry was carried out using nitrogen and carbon dioxide at 77 and 303 K, respectively, to gain complementary information about the surfaces. Nitrogen at 77 K showed, for the three samples, adsorption enthalpies at low coverage of similar values, approximately -19 to -22 kJ mol (-1), indicating that the probe gas interacts with similar energetic surface sites. Two distinct energetic regions are observed, the first of which increases with increasing pretreatment temperature, which can be related to increased sample crystallinity. The adsorption of carbon dioxide at 303 K showed high adsorption enthalpies (up to approximately 65-80 kJ mol (-1)), highlighting strong interactions of the carbon dioxide with the titania surface at low pressures. Finally, the CO(2) adsorption properties of the titania samples (adsorbed amount and enthalpies of adsorption) are compared with those of other nanosized adsorbents. This comparison shows the potentiality of mesoporous titania powders for the adsorption of CO(2).     

Tuning the optical properties of mesoporous TiO2 films by nanoscale engineering

The optical properties of spin-coated titanium dioxide films have been tuned by introducing mesoscale pores into the inorganic matrix. Differently sized pores were templated using Pluronic triblock copolymers as surfactants in the sol-gel precursor solutions and adjusted by varying the process parameters, such as the polymer concentration, annealing temperature, and time. The change in refractive index observed for different mesoporous anatase films annealed at 350, 400, or 450 °C directly correlates with changes in the pore size. Additionally, the index of refraction is influenced by the film thickness and the density of pores within the films. The band gap of these films is blue-shifted, presumably due to stress the introduction of pores exerts on the inorganic matrix. This study focused on elucidating the effect different templating materials (Pluronic F127 and P123) have on the pore size of the final mesoporous titania film and on understanding the relation of varying the polymer concentration (taking P123 as an example) in the sol-gel solution to the pore density and size in the resultant titania film. Titania thin film samples or corresponding titanium dioxide powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, cross-section transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption, ellipsometery, UV/vis spectrometry, and other techniques to understand the interplay between mesoporosity and optical properties.
