热处理对TiO2纳米管结构相变的影响

TiO₂纳米管为无定形结构,焙烧后则由无定形转变为锐钛矿型,纳米管的管状结构被破坏,晶型转变是TiO₂纳米管的管状结构破坏的根本原因.经热处理,原来的TiO₂纳米管部分转变为长棒状的金红石型晶柱结构,而原料TiO₂在较大温度范围内焙烧均未出现长棒状晶柱结构;TiO₂由A→R的相变温差很大,TiO₂纳米管的A→R相变温度比原料约低350℃;合成的TiO₂纳米管的比表面积和孔体积很大.

Low-temperature synthesis and microstructural control of titania nano-particles

Nanocrystalline titania powders were synthesized at low temperature (⩽100°C) by a sol–gel method that achieved fine control of particle size and polymorph fraction. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV–Vis spectroscopy were used to characterize the phase assemblages, crystal size and band gap of the powders. It was demonstrated that larger, well-ordered titania crystals can be obtained by increasing aging temperature and time. These processing parameters can be adjusted to select specific polymorphs from the gel precursors with particular size and shape. The quantum size effect was observed in the size-controlled nanocrystalline titania particles, leading to a blue shift in UV absorption with decreasing in particle size. The anatase to rutile transformation, which may proceed with brookite as a transition phase, is dependent on both particle size and surface structure of the nascent crystals.     

Synthesis and characterization of nano titania powder with high photoactivity for gas-phase photo-oxidation of benzene from TiOCl(2) aqueous solution at low temperatures

Nano rutile, anatase, and bicrystalline (anatase + brookite) titania powders with an average crystal size of below 10 nm are prepared from aqueous TiOCl(2) solution at low temperatures by adjusting pH values of the starting solution and adding different additives. Adding a small amount of octyl phenol poly(ethylene oxide) into aqueous TiOCl(2) solution leads to the change of particle morphologies of obtained nano titania from needlelike to nano spherical rutile crystals. Amorphous-anatase transformation of titania could proceed in liquid-solid reaction at low temperatures, even at room temperature. A formation mechanism of rutile, anatase, and brookite titania was proposed. It is found that H(+) or H(3)O(+) plays a catalytic role in the phase transformation from amorphous to anatase titania and that the presence of a small amount of SO(4)(2)(-) ion is unfavorable to the formation of both rutile and brookite. By carefully adjusting preparation conditions, nano pure anatase with higher surface area, good crystallinity, and a lower recombination rate of photoexcited electrons and holes was obtained. This nano pure anatase showed a very good photocatalytic activity for gas-phase photo-oxidation of benzene.

Relative brookite and anatase content in sol-gel-synthesized titanium dioxide nanoparticles

Sol-gel synthesis of titania typically produces a mixture of brookite and anatase. Rietveld refinements were used to systematically track the brookite content and particle size as functions of synthetic variables. Results demonstrate that brookite content and anatase particle size decrease with decreasing Ti/H(2)O ratios. In syntheses at pH 3, the addition of HCl resulted in increased amorphous content compared to samples synthesized using HNO(3). Similar amorphous contents were observed for particles prepared at pH 6-9. Hydrothermal aging for 4 h at 200 degrees C of sol-gel products containing substantial amorphous titania resulted in higher brookite content than did hydrothermal aging of sol-gel products containing little to no amorphous titania. Finally, dialysis prior to hydrothermal aging appeared to inhibit phase transformation from brookite to anatase in aged materials. Results presented demonstrate that considerable control over the relative anatase and brookite contents can be achieved through control of synthetic variables.     

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.

Nonhydrolytic synthesis of high-quality anisotropically shaped brookite TiO2 nanocrystals

A surfactant-assisted nonaqueous strategy, relying on high-temperature aminolysis of titanium carboxylate complexes, has been developed to access anisotropically shaped TiO2 nanocrystals selectively trapped in the metastable brookite phase. Judicious temporal manipulation of precursor supply to the reaction mixture enables systematic tuning of the nanostructure geometric features over an exceptionally wide dimensional range (30-200 nm). Such degree of control is rationalized within the frame of a self-regulated phase-changing seed-catalyzed mechanism, in which homogeneous nucleation, on one side, and heterogeneous nucleation/growth processes, on the other side, are properly balanced while switching from the anatase to the brookite structures, respectively, in a continuous unidirectional crystal development regime. The time variation of the chemical potential for the monomer species in the solution, the size dependence of thermodynamic structural stability of the involved titania polymorphs, and the reduced activation barrier for brookite nucleation onto initially formed anatase seeds play decisive roles in the crystal-phase- and shape-tailored growth of titania nanostructures by the present approach.

The powders were yellow or beige and showed excellent visible light absorption and photocatalytic ability for the oxidative destruction of nitrogen monoxide under irradiation of visible light of wavelength >510 nm.     

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.
