V掺杂锐钛矿相TiO_2的光吸收特性

使用V2O5和乙醇作为V掺杂TiO2的滴加液,运用溶胶-凝胶方法制备了不同浓度的V掺杂锐钛矿相TiO2的薄膜样品.对这些样品进行了紫外-可见透射光谱实验,发现V掺杂锐钛矿相TiO2的光谱响应范围向可见光区域移动,掺杂浓度为1.0%(摩尔分数)时红移效果最明显.此外,运用第一性原理,对V掺杂锐钛矿相TiO2的电子结构进行了研究,并运用能带结构理论对实验现象进行了解释.研究中发现:在V掺杂锐钛矿相TiO2后,随着V浓度的增加,TiO2的禁带宽度逐渐减小,光谱响应范围扩大,能提高它的可见光响应;但是由于掺杂后价带与导带比较接近,容易形成新的空穴-电子复合中心,以及导带区域V3d轨道上电子与Ti3d轨道上的电子强关联作用也会降低电子的还原性,所以V浓度的增加会使TiO2的光催化性能降低.理论上计算出在V掺杂浓度为6.25%(摩尔分数)时,TiO2的光吸收边红移最大,与实验得到的变化趋势相吻合.     

掺杂钒和硅对TiO2薄膜超亲水性的影响

0引言 TiO2薄膜是众多氧化物半导体薄膜中研究最为广泛的一种材料．其表面的超亲水性和表面自清洁效应开辟了光催化薄膜功能材料的新的研究领域，已成为众多研究者研究的对象。但是如果薄膜仅由TiO2组成，当光照停止，水在TiO2薄膜表面的润湿角逐渐升高．并恢复原始状态。TiO2的禁带较宽，普通光线如太阳光等都不能将其激发．限制了其实际应用。因此如何使TiO2材料的光谱响应范围由紫外光反扩展到可见．光区一日如何更长时间地保持薄膜良好的亲水性是目前研究的重点。

卟啉/TiO2界面的相互作用研究

采用吸收光谱、荧光光谱和瞬态光伏技术研究了卟啉/TiO2体系的吸收光特性、荧光特性和光伏特性, 并研究了卟啉和TiO2之间的界面相互作用. 研究结果表明, 卟啉环在与钬原子结合前后与TiO2之间的作用不同, TiO2的粒径也影响界面的相互作用. 卟啉与粒径为10 nm的TiO2作用后, 能级发生了简并, 同时带隙发生了红移. 卟啉与粒径为56 nm的TiO2相互作用后只有特征吸收峰发生红移, 带隙和峰的数量几乎未发生变化. 这说明在粒径为10 nm的TiO2与卟啉的大π键之间出现了离域的相互作用, 这也被荧光光谱和瞬态光伏曲线所证实.

非金属元素掺杂纳米二氧化钛

二氧化钛在光电转化、光催化等众多领域具有重要的应用价值,但较宽的禁带宽度和较低的电子传递效率导致其光利用率较低。离子掺杂和纳米化是改变其能带结构、提高电子传输能力的有效策略,根据掺杂离子的性质,可分为金属离子掺杂和非金属元素掺杂。与传统二氧化钛相比,纳米二氧化钛具有特殊的表面效应和粒度效应,其化学活性、耐热性等都强于传统二氧化钛。本文主要对非金属元素掺杂纳米二氧化钛的研究进行评述,包括IIIA、IVA、VA、VIA、VIIA族元素的单一元素掺杂以及和金属或非金属元素共掺杂,重点介绍了纳米二氧化钛的非金属掺杂与其能带结构、可见光响应和光催化性能之间的关系及其应用情况,并对其未来的发展趋势进行了展望。     

Enhanced visible light photocatalytic disinfection of gram negative, pathogenic Escherichia coli bacteria with Ag/TiV oxide nanoparticles

Silver sensitized titanium vanadium mixed Ag/TiV oxide photocatalyst was synthesized using sol-gel technique. The catalyst was characterized using XRD, SEM, EDAX, HRTEM, UV-DRS, XPS, and PL analysis which reveal the formation of a predominantly rutile mixed phase nanoparticles of 25-30 nm crystallite size. The catalyst showed a marked red-shift in the absorption spectrum compared to Degussa P25. It exhibited a remarkable enhancement in the visible light photocatalytic activity in inactivating Escherichia coli, a gram-negative pathogenic bacterium, too. The conclusions are supported by a comparison with an identically synthesized TiV oxide sample. A microbicidal photonic efficiency (MPE) has been defined and a method for its determination has been proposed to facilitate quantification of the performance of the photocatalyst and the disinfection system taking into account the response of the catalyst to the radiation intensity.

Is the band gap of pristine TiO(2) narrowed by anion- and cation-doping of titanium dioxide in second-generation photocatalysts?

Second-generation TiO(2)-(x)D(x) photocatalysts doped with either anions (N, C, and S mostly) or cations have recently been shown to have their absorption edge red-shifted to lower energies (longer wavelengths), thus enhancing photonic efficiencies of photoassisted surface redox reactions. Some of the studies have proposed that this red-shift is caused by a narrowing of the band gap of pristine TiO(2) (e.g., anatase, E(bg) = 3.2 eV; absorption edge ca. 387 nm), while others have suggested the appearance of intragap localized states of the dopants. By contrast, a recent study by Kuznetsov and Serpone (J. Phys. Chem. B, in press) has proposed that the commonality in all these doped titanias rests with formation of oxygen vacancies and the advent of color centers (e.g., F, F(+), F(++), and Ti(3+)) that absorb the visible light radiation. This article reexamines the various claims and argues that the red-shift of the absorption edge is in fact due to formation of the color centers, and that while band gap narrowing is not an unknown occurrence in semiconductor physics it does necessitate heavy doping of the metal oxide semiconductor, thereby producing materials that may have completely different chemical compositions from that of TiO(2) with totally different band gap electronic structures.

Pt/N-TiO₂电极在可见光区的光电流约为纳米TiO₂电极的6倍. 以Pt/N-TiO₂为催化剂, 催化三氯乙酸(TCA)光降解反应, 室温下经可见光照射2 h后TCA降解率约为8％. N掺杂减小了TiO₂的禁带能隙, 使它在可见光区具有光催化活性, 适量Pt掺杂抑制了光生载流子的复合, 加速了电子界面传递速度, Pt、N共掺杂使两种效应相结合, 进一步提高了光催化反应性能.     

Atomistic band gap engineering in donor-acceptor polymers

We have synthesized a series of cyclopentadithiophene-benzochalcogenodiazole donor-acceptor (D-A) copolymers, wherein a single atom in the benzochalcogenodiazole unit is varied from sulfur to selenium to tellurium, which allows us to explicitly study sulfur to selenium to tellurium substitution in D-A copolymers for the first time. The synthesis of S- and Se-containing polymers is straightforward; however, Te-containing polymers must be prepared by postpolymerization single atom substitution. All of the polymers have the representative dual-band optical absorption profile, consisting of both a low- and high-energy optical transition. Optical spectroscopy reveals that heavy atom substitution leads to a red-shift in the low-energy transition, while the high-energy band remains relatively constant in energy. The red-shift in the low-energy transition leads to optical band gap values of 1.59, 1.46, and 1.06 eV for the S-, Se-, and Te-containing polymers, respectively. Additionally, the strength of the low-energy band decreases, while the high-energy band remains constant. These trends cannot be explained by the present D and A theory where optical properties are governed exclusively by the strength of D and A units. A series of optical spectroscopy experiments, solvatochromism studies, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and time-dependent DFT calculations are used to understand these trends. The red-shift in low-energy absorption is likely due to both a decrease in ionization potential and an increase in bond length and decrease in acceptor aromaticity. The loss of intensity of the low-energy band is likely the result of a loss of electronegativity and the acceptor unit's ability to separate charge. Overall, in addition to the established theory that difference in electron density of the D and A units controls the band gap, single atom substitution at key positions can be used to control the band gap of D-A copolymers.

Au nanoparticle monolayers covered with sol-gel oxide thin films: optical and morphological study

In this work, we provide a detailed study of the influence of thermal annealing on submonolayer Au nanoparticle deposited on functionalized surfaces as standalone films and those that are coated with sol-gel NiO and TiO(2) thin films. The systems are characterized through the use of UV-vis absorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and spectroscopic ellipsometry. The surface plasmon resonance peak of the Au nanoparticles was found to red-shift and increase in intensity with increasing surface coverage, an observation that is directly correlated to the complex refractive index properties of Au nanoparticle layers. The standalone Au nanoparticles sinter at 200 °C, and a relationship between the optical properties and the annealing temperature is presented. When overcoated with sol-gel metal oxide films (NiO, TiO(2)), the optical properties of the Au nanoparticles are strongly affected by the metal oxide, resulting in an intense red shift and broadening of the plasmon band; moreover, the temperature-driven sintering is strongly limited by the metal oxide layer. Optical sensing tests for ethanol vapor are presented as one possible application, showing reversible sensing dynamics and confirming the effect of Au nanoparticles in increasing the sensitivity and in providing a wavelength dependent response, thus confirming the potential use of such materials as optical probes.     

A tungsten oxide-based photoelectrocatalyst for degradation of environmental contaminants

The use of photocatalysts in the remediation of contaminated water is now well established in the scientific literature, the most common photocatalyst being nano-dimensional particulate titanium dioxide. The generation of charge and charge transfer mechanisms on titanium dioxide are also well described, but this paper addresses the use of tungsten oxide and discusses its potential in water remediation when supported as a photoelectrocatalytic electrode. A photoelectrocatalytic cell is described and its performance in the context of the band structure of tungsten oxide is discussed.
