载Ag二氧化钛纳米管的制备及其光催化性能

Titania nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of rutile-phase TiO2 nanoparticles in 10 mol·L-1NaOHsolution at 110 ℃ for 24 h. The Ag loaded titania nanotubes (Ag/TNTs) were obtained by chemical deposition method with the TNTs suspending in the AgNO3 solution (pH=8) at 50 益. The characterizations of the as-synthesized samples were performed by TEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, and UV-Vis spectra. The photocatalytic performance of the Ag/TNTs was investigated by UV-light induced photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange(MO). The results showed that the inner/outer diameters of TNTs were about 6/10 nm and the length was several hundred nanometers. Both the shape and the crystalline of the nanotubes were not changed after the modification. The zero oxidation state Ag quantumdots, about 4 nmin diameter, were well dispersed on the external surface of the nanotubes. Ag/TNTs exhibited enhanced absorption at the visible range in the UV-Vis spectra. The Ag nanoparticles were found to significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanotubes, and the catalyst system was demonstrated to be highly efficient for the UV-light induced photocatalytic decomposition of MO compared to both rutile-phase TiO2 nanoparticles and pure TNTs. After irradiation for 60 min, the decomposition rates of MO solution in rutile-phase TiO2 nanoparticles, TNTs, and Ag/TNTs systemwere 46.8%, 57.2%, and 92.2%, respectively.     

镶嵌Pt的二氧化钛纳米管的合成及其光催化性能研究

以金红石相二氧化钛(TiO₂)粉体为原料,采用水热法合成了二氧化钛纳米管(Titania nanotubes,简写为TNTs),然后把H₂PtCl₆的无水乙醇溶液引入到TNTs中,得到镶嵌Pt的二氧化钛纳米管(Pt/TNTs)。利用透射电镜(TEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)和紫外-可见光谱(UV-Vis)对产物进行了表征,并重点研究了Pt/TNTs的光催化性能。结果表明,有直径约为3 nm的 Pt纳米粒子插入到了TNTs中,且Pt粒子以Pt单质的形式存在。Pt/TNTs在可见光区域表现出较强的吸收,并且其起始吸收带边发生明显红移。紫外光催化降解甲基橙实验结果表明,金红石相TiO₂,TNTs和Pt/TNTs对甲基橙溶液的降解率分别达到46.8%, 57.2%和84.6%,Pt/TNTs的光催化活性较金红石相二氧化钛粉体和纯TNTs有显著的提高。
