过硫酸盐激活协同可见光催化降解四环素的机理和降解路径

为了提升微污染水体中抗生素的降解效率,利用过硫酸钠(PDS)激活协同手性介孔TiO₂可见光催化(PDS/vis-TiO₂)对四环素(TC)进行降解。详细对比研究了以手性TiO₂作为催化剂的PDS激活(PDS/TiO₂)、可见光催化(vis-TiO₂)和PDS/vis-TiO₂三种体系中,降解污染物的活性物种和污染物降解路径等的差异。结果表明,不对称的螺旋堆积结构在手性介孔TiO₂中引入了丰富的Ti³⁺,不仅提升了其可见光响应,同时能够激活PDS生成自由基。PDS/vis-TiO₂体系中光生空穴h⁺和·OH等多种自由基可以同时参与TC的降解,5 h内其对TC去除率可达到95%以上,远超PDS/TiO₂体系(TC去除率为48.9%)和vis-TiO₂体系(TC去除率为71.1%)。PDS加入到光催化体系中,会受到光生电子的激活而产生自由基,从而消耗光生电子,提升光生空穴和电子的分离率,达到协同增强污染物的降解能力。另外PDS激活后产生自由基也会大大增加体系对TC的降解性能。密度泛函理论计算和中间产物分析结果表明,TC在PDS/vis-TiO₂体系中的降解路径包含了光生空穴h⁺攻击TC的降解路径,同时也包括自由基攻击TC的降解路径。

TiO2光催化剂的形貌与晶面调控

二氧化钛（TiO₂）具有化学稳定性高、无毒、价格低廉、来源广泛及光电性能优异等优点,被广泛应用于太阳能电池和光催化等领域,尤其是在污染物的光催化降解方面,可很好地解决当前的环境污染问题。但一方面受带隙宽度限制,使其对太阳光的利用率不足5%,不能充分利用太阳光中的可见光;另一方面由于光生电子-空穴容易结合,催化效率低,从而使TiO₂的实际应用受到限制。因此必须采取合适的措施,一方面要增强TiO₂对可见光的吸收,提高对太阳光的利用率;另一方面要抑制光生电子-空穴的复合,提高光催化效率。目前越来越多的科学家通过控制TiO₂的形貌、晶型、特殊晶面暴露等手段来提高TiO₂光生电子-空穴的传输速率和光电转换效率。本文主要综述了近年来在TiO₂光催化剂的特殊形貌和特殊晶面暴露等方面的研究进展,对未来的研究和发展方向作了展望。

BiOI/Bi2WO6对甲基橙和苯酚的光催化降解及光催化机理

采用简单的沉积方法制备了不同碘化氧铋含量的BiOI/Bi₂WO₆光催化剂,通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、高分辨透射电子显微镜(HR-TEM)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-VisDRS)和BET比表面积测量对其进行了表征。在紫外和可见光的照射下,使用甲基橙和苯酚的光催化降解评价了BiOI/Bi₂WO₆催化剂的光催化性能。结果表明：与商业P₂₅和纯Bi₂WO₆相比,13.2%BiOI/Bi₂WO₆光催化剂具有更高的紫外和可见光催化性能。这明显增加的光催化活性主要归功于光生电子和空穴在Bi₂WO₆和BiOI界面上的有效转移,降低了电子-空穴对的复合。基于BiOI和Bi₂WO₆的能带结构,提出了光生载流子的一种转移过程。自由基清除剂的实验表明,OH,h⁺,O₂和H₂O₂,特别是h⁺,共同支配了甲基橙和苯酚的光催化降解过程。     

N, S共掺杂纳米TiO2：水解-溶剂热法合成及可见光催化活性

采用简单的两相分离的水解-溶剂热法,以硫脲为非金属原料,可控地制备了N,S共掺杂的纳米TiO₂。所获得的纳米TiO₂平均粒径为10nm、粒径分布集中,且分散性好。N,S共掺杂拓展了纳米TiO₂对可见光的响应范围。气氛可控的表面光电压谱（SPS）的测试结果表明,N,S共掺杂引起的表面态能够捕获光生空穴,进而有利于光生电荷分离。在可见光催化氧化水产氧及降解污染物乙醛的过程中,共掺杂的纳米TiO₂表现出了高的活性,甚至优越于N掺杂的。这主要归因于N,S共掺杂的纳米TiO₂分散性好、可见光吸收强和光生电荷分离高。

Ternary BiOBr/TiO2/Ti3C2Tx MXene nanocomposites with heterojunction structure and improved photocatalysis performance

The rational design and construction of heterojunction structure is an effective strategy to improve the photocatalytic performance. Herein, a series of BiOBr nanosheets-immobilized TiO₂/Ti₃C₂T_x MXene hybrid materials with heterojunction structure were synthesized by a facial one-step hydrothermal method. The ternary composites show outstanding performance as photocatalysts for the degradation of rhodamine B due to the optimized synergetic effects of BiOBr, TiO₂ and Ti₃C₂T_x. The improved photocatalytic performance is remarkably attributed to the construction of a heterojunction between TiO₂ and BiOBr due to their well-matching of energy band position, which can enhance the absorption for visible light and promote the transfer of photo-generated charge carriers. Moreover, Ti₃C₂T_x acts as an electron trap to further accelerate the separation of photo-generated electrons and holes.     

SPR effect of Au nanoparticles on the visible photocatalytic RhB degradation and NO oxidation over TiO2 hollow nanoboxes

Three-dimensional (3D) TiO₂ hollow structures have attracted much attention due to their unique properties. However, the large bandgap of (3.2 eV) results in the fact that anatase TiO₂ photocatalyst can only be excited by UV light, which only accounts for 3–5% of the solar energy. On considering that nobel metallatic nanomaterials can harvest visible light due to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect, in this paper, three kinds of Au nanoparticles with different morphologies, namely Au nanospheres (Au-NSs), Au nanorods (Au-NRs) and Au nanopentogons (Au-NPs) were prepared and used as photosensitizers to modified TiO₂ hollow nanoboxes (TiO₂-HNBs), aiming to explore high efficient visible-light-responsive photocatalyst. The photoreacitivty of Au/TiO₂-HNBs was evaluated by photoctalytic oxidation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and NO under visible irradiation (λ > 420 nm). It was found that the visible photoreactivity of TiO₂-HNBs was greatly enhanced after modified with Au nanoparticles, and TiO₂-HNBs loaded with Au-NRs exhibit the highest visible photocatalytic activity towards both RhB degradation and NO oxidation. Upon visible irradiation, SPR effect induces the production of hot electrons from the Au nanoparticles, which can further transfer to the conduction band of TiO₂-HNBs to produce superoxide radicals (O₂⁻), resulting in an efficient separation of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. The photoreactivity of Au-NRs/TiO₂-HNBs towards RhB degradation almost keeps unchanged even after recycling used for 5 times, indicating that it is promising to be use in practical applications.     

Photocatalytic Oxidation of HMF under Solar Irradiation: Coupling of Microemulsion and Lyophilization to Obtain Innovative TiO2-Based Materials

The photocatalytic oxidation of biomass-derived building blocks such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising reaction for obtaining valuable chemicals and the efficient long-term storage of solar radiation. In this work, we developed innovative TiO₂-based materials capable of base-free HMF photo-oxidation in water using simulated solar irradiation. The materials were prepared by combining microemulsion and spray-freeze drying (SFD), resulting in highly porous systems with a large surface area. The effect of titania/silica composition and the presence of gold-copper alloy nanoparticles on the properties of materials as well as photocatalytic performance were evaluated. Among the lab-synthesized photocatalysts, Ti₁₅Si₈₅ SFD and Au₃Cu₁/Ti₁₅Si₈₅ SFD achieved the higher conversions, while the best selectivity was observed for Au₃Cu₁/Ti₁₅Si₈₅ SFD. The tests with radical scavengers for both TiO₂-m and Au₃Cu₁/Ti₁₅Si₈₅ SFD suggested that primary species responsible for the selective photo-oxidation of HMF are photo-generated electrons and/or superoxide radicals.

Investigation of visible light active Ag sensitized mixed phase TiO2 photocatalyst for solar energy application

Visible photo-active anatase and mixed phase Ag/TiO₂ photocatalysts were prepared using sol–gel method with 1.5 wt% Ag concentration. Due to the large band gap, pristine titania (anatase) is mainly active in the UV light and the photoactivity is limited. But in the presence of both anatase (~3.2 eV) and rutile (~3.0 eV) phases in TiO₂, the catalyst is expected to show enhancement in the photoactivity due to mixed phase junction. The Ag particles are used to act as electron sink and to swiftly transport the photo-generated electrons and, consequently, lessen the recombination rate. The synergistic effect of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) enhanced local field due to Ag particles and the existing mixed phase of TiO₂ is expected to provide a boost in its photoactivity in the visible region. In the present work the mixed phase Ag/TiO₂ photocatalyst showed large enhancement in the degradation of methylene blue compared to all the reference systems.     

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.
