Synthesis and Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2/CdS Nanocomposites with Co-Exposed Anatase Highly Reactive Facets

In this work, TiO₂/CdS nanocomposites with co-exposed {101}/[111]-facets (NH4F-TiO2/CdS), {101}/{010} facets (FMA-TiO2/CdS), and {101}/{010}/[111]-facets (HF-TiO2/CdS and Urea-TiO2/CdS) were successfully synthesized through a one-pot solvothermal method by using [Ti₄O₉]²⁻ colloidal solution containing CdS crystals as the precursor. The crystal structure, morphology, specific surface area, pore size distribution, separation, and recombination of photogenerated electrons/holes of the TiO₂/CdS nanocomposites were characterized. The photocatalytic activity and cycling performance of the TiO₂/CdS nanocomposites were also investigated. The results showed that as-prepared FMA-TiO₂/CdS with co-exposed {101}/{010} facets exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity in the process of photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO), and its degradation efficiency was 88.4%. The rate constants of FMA-TiO₂/CdS was 0.0167 min⁻¹, which was 55.7, 4.0, 3.7, 3.5, 3.3, and 1.9 times of No catalyst, CdS, HF-TiO₂/CdS, NH₄F-TiO₂/CdS, CM-TiO₂, Urea-TiO₂/CdS, respectively. The highest photocatalytic activity of FMA-TiO₂/CdS could be attributed to the synergistic effects of the largest surface energy, co-exposed {101}/{010} facets, the lowest photoluminescence intensity, lower charge-transfer resistance, and a higher charge-transfer efficiency.

CdS/TiO2 composite films for methylene blue photodecomposition under visible light irradiation and non-photocorrosion of cadmium sulfide

Cadmium sulfide/titanium dioxide (CdS/TiO₂) composite films were grown on glass by the chemical bath deposition (DBQ) and sol-gel/dip coating methods, respectively, in order to increase the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ in photodegradation processes. The influence of the CdS deposition time on the morphology, optical absorption, and phononic modes of the composites were examined. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed clearly the CdS deposit on the TiO₂ surface. The absorbance spectra indicated that the absorption of composites depends on the CdS deposition time and the absorption edges are shifted to the visible range. Micro Raman spectra exhibited the phonons associated with the TiO₂ anatase and the longitudinal optic (LO) phonon of CdS whose intensity increases with the CdS deposition time. Photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation was observed in all films and the results were compared with those obtained with TiO₂ films. The decomposition is higher for the composite with the CdS deposition time of 15 min. This optimal deposition time allows maximal enhancement of the charge carriers transfer to TiO₂ involved in the photocatalysis. No signal associated with cadmium was detected by the atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), which means that the CdS photocorrosion does not occur since trap centers such as OH-Cd-S and Cl^?, which trap holes and inhibit the photocorrosion, are produced during the growth process.     

Label-free Photoelectrochemical Aptasensor for the Determination of Carcinoembryonic Antigen Using a Cadmum Sulfide Quantum Dot Sensitized Titanium (IV) Oxide Nanotube Electrode

A label-free photoelectrochemical aptasensor for the sensitive and selective determination of carcinoembryonic antigen was constructed based on a CdS quantum dot sensitized TiO₂ nanotube electrode. TiO₂ nanotubes with highly ordered structure and more active sites than bulk TiO₂ were prepared with an electrochemical anodic oxidation process. The CdS quantum dots were immobilized on the TiO₂ nanotubes using poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) as a bridge. Due to the energy level match between TiO₂ and CdS, the CdS quantum dots/TiO₂ nanotubes electrode exhibits excellent photoelectrochemical performance. The large surface area of the electrode also allows for capturing large numbers of aptamers. The fine photoelectrochemical performance and the large surface area of the electrode greatly enhanced the detection sensitivity. Under the optimal conditions, the prepared photoelectrochemical aptasensor presents desirable analytical properties for the determination of carcinoembryonic antigen in the range of 0.05 to 10?ng?mL^?1 with a detection limit of 0.014?ng?mL^?1. The application of the designed protocol was investigated by analyzing carcinoembryonic antigen in human serum samples with recoveries from 80.0 to 115.0%. This simple and sensitive method provides an alternative tool to standard biochemical assays.     

Mechanism of the formation of photosensitive nanostructured TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> with low content of CdS nanoparticles

A method for synthesizing a CdS/TiO₂ composite material, active in the visible region, was described. The CdS/TiO₂ composite was obtained by the sol–gel synthesis of nanostructured TiO₂ in a medium of a stable colloidal solution of CdS nanoparticles. The TiO₂ matrix produced by the sol–gel process is amorphous and contains a nanocrystalline anatase phase, the content of which depends on the Ti(OBu)₄ hydrolysis rate. The content of CdS nanoparticles forming in the colloidal solution and participating in the TiO₂ matrix sensitization is determined by the initial CdS: Ti(OBu)₄ ratio. Although the content of CdS nanoparticles in the composite is low (no more than 3 wt %), the composite demonstrates catalytic activity in the visible region, thus proving the possibility of reducing the content of toxic CdS nanoparticles in the TiO₂ matrix without decreasing the photosensitivity of the CdS/TiO₂ composite.

CdS‐Encapsulated TiO2 Nanotube Arrays Lidded with ZnO Nanorod Layers and Their Photoelectrocatalytic Applications

A novel TiO₂ nanotube array/CdS nanoparticle/ZnO nanorod (TiO₂ NT/CdS/ZnO NR) photocatalyst was constructed which exhibited a wide‐absorption (200–535 nm) response in the UV/Vis region and was applied for the photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) degradation of dye wastewater. This was achieved by chemically assembling CdS into the TiO₂ NTs and then constructing a ZnO NR layer on the TiO₂ NT/CdS surface. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that a new structure had been obtained. The TiO₂ NTs looked like many “empty bottles” and the ZnO NR layer served as a big lid. Meanwhile the CdS NPs were encapsulated between them with good protection. After being sensitized by the CdS NPs, the absorption‐band edge of the obtained photocatalyst was obviously red‐shifted to the visible region, and the band gap was reduced from its original 3.20 eV to 2.32 eV. Photoelectric‐property tests indicated that the TiO₂ NT/CdS/ZnO NR material maintained a very high PEC activity in both the ultraviolet (UV) and the visible region. The maximum photoelectric conversion efficiencies of TiO₂ NT/CdS/ZnO NR were 31.8 and 5.98 % under UV light (365 nm) and visible light (420–800 nm), respectively. In the PEC oxidation, TiO₂ NT/CdS/ZnO NR exhibited a higher removal ability for methyl orange (MO) and a high stability. The kinetic constants were 1.77×10^?4 s^?1 under UV light, which was almost 5.9 and 2.6 times of those on pure TiO₂ NTs and TiO₂ NT/ZnO NR, and 2.5×10^?4 s^?1 under visible light, 2.4 times those on TiO₂ NT/CdS.     

Quantum dots co-sensitized solar cells: a new assembly process of CdS/CdSe linked to mesoscopic TiO2-nano-SiO2 hybrid film

A green and simple method was found to prepare CdS/CdSe co-sensitized photoelectrodes for the quantum dots sensitized solar cells application. All the assembly processes of CdS and CdSe quantum dots (QDs) were carried out in aqueous solution. CdS and CdSe QDs were sequentially assembled onto TiO₂-nano-SiO₂ hybrid film by two steps. Firstly, CdS QDs were deposited in situ over TiO₂-nano-SiO₂ hybrid film by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) process in water. Secondly, using 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) as a linker molecule, the pre-prepared colloidal CdSe QDs (~3.0 nm) dissolved in water was linked onto the TiO₂-nano-SiO₂ hybrid film by the self-assembled monolayer technique with the mode of dropwise. The mode is simple and advantageous to saving materials and time. The results show that the photovoltaic performance of the cells is enhanced with the increase of SILAR cycles for TiO₂-nano-SiO₂/CdS photoelectrode. The power conversion efficiency of 2.15 % was achieved using the co-sensitization photoelectrode prepared by using 6 SILAR cycles of CdS plus CdSe (TiO₂-nano-SiO₂/CdS(6)/CdSe) under the illumination of one sun (AM1.5, 100 mW/cm²).
