基于微波水热法和微乳液法合成SnO₂/TiO₂纳米管复合光催化剂. 通过X射线衍射（XRD）、配有能量色散X射线光谱仪（EDX）的透射电镜（TEM）和电化学手段对光催化剂进行表征. 以甲苯为模型污染物,考察光催化剂在紫外光（UV）和真空远紫外光（VUV）下的性能及失活再生. 结果表明,SnO₂/TiO₂纳米管复合光催化剂形成三元异质结（锐钛矿相TiO₂（A-TiO₂）/金红石相TiO₂（R-TiO₂）、A-TiO₂/SnO₂和R-TiO₂/SnO₂异质结）,促使光生电子-空穴对的有效分离,提高光催化活性. SnO₂/TiO₂表现出最佳的光催化性能,UV和VUV条件下的甲苯降解率均达100%,CO₂生成速率（k₂）均为P25的3倍左右. 但由于UV光照矿化能力不足,中间产物易在催化剂表面累积. 随着UV光照时间的增加,SnO₂/TiO₂逐渐失活,20 h 后k₂由138.5 mg·m^-3·h^-1下降到76.1 mg·m^-3·h^-1. 利用VUV再生失活的SnO₂/TiO₂,过程中产生的·OH、O₂^-·、O（¹D）、O（³P）、O₃等活性物质可氧化吸附于催化剂活性位的难降解中间产物,使催化剂得以再生,12 h后k₂恢复到143.6 mg·m^-3·h^-1. UV和VUV的协同效应使UV降解耦合VUV再生成为一种可持续的光催化降解污染物模式.

Observation of Sb2O3 Nanocrystals in SiO2 after Sb Ion Implantation

 Antimony nanocrystals were formed in thin SiO₂ films using low-energy ion implantation of Sb followed by annealing. Using Fourier transform laser microprobe mass spectrometry (FT LMMS), we observed for the first time the presence of antimony oxide in the intermediate phase (as-implanted layer of Sb) by means of signals referring to the intact Sb₂O₃ molecules. Only SbO⁺ fragments, but no adduct ions of Sb₂O₃ could be detected in annealed samples. The size and the distribution of the nanocrystals formed around the initial depth of implantation were studied in the as-implanted samples by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The crystalline structure of these nanocrystals was also studied and the presence of antimony trioxide Sb₂O₃ in the form of valentinite was proven. After the annealing step, the implanted material had spread into a wider band. The method introduced here, based on combining TEM (transmission electron microscopy) and FT LMMS results, offers the possibility of studying the evolution of the phases in Sb nanocrystal formation.     

Electrochemical Behavior of Irreversibly Adsorbed Sb on Au Electrode

The electrochemical processes of irreversibly adsorbed antimony (Sb_ad) on Au electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). CV data showed that Sb_ad on Au electrode yielded oxidation and reduction features at about 0.15 V (vs saturated calomel electrode, SCE). EQCM data indicated that Sb_ad species were stable on Au electrode in the potential region from −0.25 to 0.18 V (vs SCE); the adsorption of Sb inhibited the adsorption of water and anion on Au electrode at low electrode potentials. Sb₂O₃ species was suggested to form on the Au electrode at 0.18 V. At a potential higher than 0.20 V the Sb₂O₃ species could be further oxidized to Sb(V) oxidation state and then desorbed from Au electrode.     

Analysis of Antimony Doping in Tin Oxide Thin Films Obtained by the Sol-Gel Method

The antimony doping in SnO₂ thin films prepared by the sol-gel dip-coating method has been studied using two characterization techniques. In order to determine the actual doping level directly in the deposited layers, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) have been used. We found that this doping level is systematically lower than expected from the starting solutions composition, and that two oxidation states are present: Sb³⁺ and Sb⁵⁺. As the antimony content increases, there is a competition between Sb⁵⁺ and Sb³⁺ species.The SnO₂: Sb thin films have also been observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), showing that the measured mean size of crystallites decreases as the Sb content increases in the oxide. No precipitates of either Sn or Sb oxides (other than SnO₂) could be detected.     

Study on antimony oxide self-assembled inside HZSM-5

Sb/ZSM-5 was obtained by solid-state reaction with the mixture of Sb₂O₃ and zeolite HZSM-5 under a dry nitrogen flow at 773 K. Characterization of the treated zeolite was undertaken with XRD, ²⁷Al MAS NMR, BET, TGA and FT-IR. The results revealed that part of the antimony oxides migrated into the channels of zeolite, and decreased the Brönsted acid sites in Sb/ZSM-5 remarkably. The other part of antimony oxides together with the amorphous alumino-silicate in the products distributed on the external surface of zeolite ZSM-5 and modified it, while the framework of ZSM-5 in crystal phase was retained. The structure of occluded antimony oxide inside the channels of ZSM-5 was studied by XRD Rietveld method. The result showed that their structure can be described as a chain of non-perfect [Sb₅O₅(H₂O)₂]_n⁵ⁿ⁺, which is parallel to the straight channel of ZSM-5. There is about 0.6 [Sb₅O₅(H₂O)₂]⁵⁺ unit in every cell of the ZSM-5 on an average.     

Solid-state reactions in the system Cu—Sb—O; Formation of a new copper(I) antimony oxide

The solid-state reactions in the system Cu—Sb—O were investigated by thermogravimetry and X-ray diffraction. Equimolar mixtures of CuO and Sb₂O₃ form Cu(II)Sb₂O₆ when slowly heated in air up to 1000°C. The firt step in this reaction is the oxidation of Sb₂O₃ to Sb₂O₄ at 380–500°C, followed by further oxidation of Sb₂O₄ and the formation of CuSb₂O₆ at 500–1000°C. Thermal decomposition of CuSb₂O₆ in a flowing nitrogen atmosphere occurs in three stages; the first, with an activation energy of 356 kJ mole^?1, results in the formation of a new copper(I) antimony oxide, with a composition of Cu₄SbO_4.5, as determined by atomic absorption analysis and X-ray fluoresecence. Confirmation of predominantly monovalent copper and pentavalent antimony in the new compound was by ESR and ESCA, respectively. Two forms of Cu₄SbO_4.5 have been distinguished; one of these (form II) has a structure of lower symmetry, and decomposes when heated in air at 600°C to a mixture of CuO and another new copper antimony oxide, as yet uncharacterized. On further heating to 1100°C in air, Cu₄SbO_4.5 (form I) gradually reforms. Details of these reactions are summarized and X-ray powder data presented for Cu₄SbO_4.5.     

Facile preparation of Sb and oxide-coated Sb nanoparticles via cathodic dispersion of bulk Sb in different media

We report here a facile electrochemical method on the preparation of antimony nanoparticles (NPs) by dispersing a bulk antimony electrode under highly cathodic polarization in different media at room temperature, requiring neither precursor ions nor organic capping agents. The dispersion of bulk antimony in a tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) acetonitrile solution involved the formation and oxidation of an unstable Zintl compound of antimony, and the as-prepared Sb NPs were readily transferred into Sb–Sb₂O₃ core–shell NPs during the post treatment and characterization because of the surface oxidation of Sb NPs by oxygen in the air. In contrast, Sb NPs prepared by dispersing the bulk antimony cathode in a blank aqueous NaOH solution were oxygen-resistant in the air because the strongly adsorbed hydroxide ions from the solution could stabilize the Sb NPs. The incorporation of sodium, the formation/oxidation of polyanions of antimony (Zintl ions), and the formation/decomposition of unstable antimony hydrides may all take effect for the cathodic dispersion of bulk antimony electrodes in the NaOH solution. Transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize these NPs.     

In situ FTIRS studies of kinetics of HCOOH oxidation on Pt(110) electrode modified with antimony adatoms

The electrochemical behavior of irreversibly adsorbed antimony on a Pt(110) electrode (Pt(110)/Sb) with various coverages was studied using cyclic voltammetry. The kinetics of HCOOH oxidation via reactive intermediates on Pt(110)/Sb were investigated quantitatively by employing the potential step technique and in situ FTIR spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that Sb adatoms were stable on Pt(110) when the electrode potential was below 0.45 V (SCE). It has been revealed that the dissociative adsorption of formic acid can be inhibited by the presence of Sb_ad on the Pt(110) surface. The electrocatalytic effects of Sb_ad towards HCOOH oxidation consist in a negative shift of the oxidation potential (about 350 mV) and the enhancement of the oxidation current. Based on the data processing method of integration transform developed in our previous papers, the kinetics of HCOOH oxidation on Pt(110)/Sb electrodes of different θ_Sb have been investigated quantitatively, and both the rate constant k_f and the transfer coefficient β were determined and reported.     

Formation of antimony oxide clusters by gas aggregation

Sb_xO_y clusters are produced by using a gas aggregation technique. Antimony vapor is mixed with He/O₂ or He/N₂O and cooled in a reaction channel. After photoionisation with a KrF (248 nm) or ArF (193 nm) excimer laser the products are mass analyzed in a time of flight mass spectrometer. In the presence of N₂O no oxide clusters besides SbO⁺ can be detected, while with oxygen under similar experimental conditions dramatic changes can be observed. At low oxygen partial pressure the obtained spectra are dominated by the pure Sb _x ⁺ clusters with low intensity of Sb_xO _y ⁺ , whereas at high oxygen partial pressure antimony oxides following the general sequence SbO⁺(Sb₂O₃)n are most abundant. The same stable species can furthermore be produced via aggregation of vaporised solid antimony oxide (Sb₂O₃). Within these experiments another new Series of antimony oxides tentatively assigned to (Sb₂O₃) _n ⁺ appeared in the mass spectra.     

Characterization of Sb2O3 subjected to different ion and plasma surface treatments

This paper presents a study of Sb₂O₃ subjected to oxygen plasma and to ion beam bombardment (Ar⁺ and O₂⁺ ions of 4 keV) by x‐ray photoelectron and reflected electron energy‐loss spectroscopies. Changes in stoichiometry (i.e O/Sb ratio) and oxidation state of Sb have been detected and correlated with the chemical and ballistic effects of the beams used for alteration of the Sb₂O₃ surface. Thus, oxygen plasma treatments lead to a significant oxidation of the surface layers of this material with the formation of up to 51% Sb⁵⁺ species as found by Sb 4d curve‐fitting analysis. By contrast, O₂⁺ ion bombardment only produces a mild oxidation of the target with the formation of ～13% Sb⁵⁺ species. Argon ion bombardment induces a complex process where Sb⁵⁺ and Sb⁰ species are formed simultaneously. This result has been discussed in terms of a disproportionation reaction of the type Sb³⁺ → Sb⁵⁺ + Sb⁰. The changes in the electronic properties of the treated material are consistent with the loss upon oxidation to Sb⁵⁺ of the valence states associated to the 5s² electron pair of antimony. Approximate shapes of valence bands for Sb₂O₃ and Sb₂O₅ pure compounds have been extracted by applying factor analysis to valence band spectra of Sb₂O₃ subjected to different ion and plasma treatments.
