Li+掺杂纳米TiO2的制备及其光催化性能研究

采用溶胶-凝胶法和浸渍法制备了Li⁺掺杂纳米TiO₂光催化剂,并用XRD和TEM等技术进行了表征;用pH值漂移法测量了催化剂的零电位pH值(pHpzc).结果表明,500℃煅烧制得的催化剂均为锐钛矿相;Li⁺的掺杂抑制了TiO₂粒子的生长,提高了催化剂的分散性;催化剂的零电位pH值为6.6—8.1,其值取决于Li⁺的浓度和掺杂方式.分别以紫外光和太阳光为光源,孔雀石绿和甲基橙为降解物评价了催化剂的光催化活性;并用气相色谱测试了污染物降解产生的CO₂的含量.结果显示,对孔雀石绿的降解,浸渍法和溶胶-凝胶法掺Li⁺都能有效提高TiO₂的光催化活性,但浸渍法比溶胶-凝胶法效果更好,催化活性最高的为浸渍法制备的5%(摩尔分数)Li⁺掺杂TiO₂,其在紫外光和太阳光下的光催化活性分别比纯TiO₂提高了6—8倍和9—10倍;对甲基橙的降解,除溶胶-凝胶法制备的3%(摩尔分数)Li⁺掺杂TiO₂能稍提高光催化活性外,其它Li⁺的掺杂都不同程度降低了TiO₂的光催化活性;随污染物降解率的增加,最终降解产物CO₂的含量增加.实验结果表明,Li⁺掺杂改变了催化剂表面的电荷状态从而改变了催化剂的零电位pH值是造成催化剂降解不同污染物具有不同催化活性的主要原因.     

反相微乳液法合成SrTiO3纳米棒

SrTiO₃ nanorods were synthesized in cetanyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) reverse microemulsion containing CTAB, n-hexanol, n-octane and water with Ba(OH)₂ as reactants. The effects of different conditions such as ω₀ [ω₀=n_H2O/ n_CTAB], aging time and the concentration of reactants on the formation of the nanorods were studied. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), electron diffraction (ED) and X-ray diffraction(XRD)were used to characterize the morphology and the structure of the synthesized nanorods. The results show that SrTiO₃ nanorods with a length of 260～2 000 nm and a diameter of 50～100 nm belonging to single crystal are single cubic system. The molar ratio of Sr to Ti of products is 1.0 as determinded by ICP.
