TiO2 nanoparticles incorporated with CuInS2 clusters: preparation and photocatalytic activity for degradation of 4-nitrophenol

TiO₂ nanoparticles incorporated with CuInS₂ clusters were prepared in a solvothermal process and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersion X-ray analysis (EDX). Compared with pure TiO₂ nanoparticles, the TiO₂ nanoparticles incorporated with CuInS₂ clusters display higher photocatalytic activity with 99.9% of degradation ratio of 4-nitrophenol after 2 h irradiation. In order to investigate the effect of the CuInS₂ clusters on the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ nanoparticles, diffuse reflectance UV–Vis spectra (DRS), photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and photocurrent action spectra were measured. The results indicate that the enhanced photocatalytic activity is probably due to the interface between TiO₂ and CuInS₂ as a trap of the photogenerated electrons to decrease the recombination of electrons and holes.     

SO42-改性后的TiO2(锐钛和/或金红石)表面上MoO3的分散性质研究

采用红外(IR)、拉曼(Raman)、X-射线衍射(XRD)、程序升温还原(TPR)等方法考察了经硫酸根改性后的金红石(SR)与锐钛矿(SA)的混合比例变化时的负载型催化剂，MoO₃ / TiO₂(SR+SA)，的一些物理化学性质(如活性组分MoO₃的分散行为、表面酸碱性、氧化还原性)的变化规律。结果表明：对于MoO₃ / TiO₂(SR+SA)样品，低含量MoO₃表面分散时倾向于优先与混合载体中的改性金红石(SR)发生作用；TiO₂载体表面SO₄^2-的存在，使得载体表面产生了新的酸性位，导致样品中表面分散的钼物种主要以聚合八面体状态存在。

Photoluminescence dependence on imposing bias for ZnGa2O4 and ZnGa2O4 activated with Mn or Cr n-type semiconductor electrodes

Photoluminescence (PL) dependence was investigated by imposing cathodic and anodic bias for ZnGa₂O₄, ZnGa₂O₄:Mn and ZnGa₂O₄:Cr n-type semiconductor electrodes. Under the cathodic bias PL intensity was weak at about 1/3 times compared with imposing no bias, while under the anodic bias the intensity was strong at about 2 times maximally by using the ZnGa₂O₄:Mn and ZnGa₂O₄:Cr electrodes although no change about the intensity was observed by using the ZnGa₂O₄ electrode. These results suggest that the emission attributed to recombination between electrons and holes is decreased by flow of cathodic current under the cathodic bias while the emission is increased to decrease at non-radiative transition rates under the anodic bias when the energy relaxation occurs.

Preparation and characterization of CoFe2O4/TiO2 magnetic composite films

CoFe₂O₄/TiO₂ magnetic composite films were prepared using the sol-gel method with tetrabutyltitanate and metallic chlorates as starting materials. The effects of heat treatment temperatures on microstructures and on magnetic properties were studied. The microstructure and properties of the samples at different heat treatment temperatures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectrum, scanning electron microscopy, polarized microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. The results show that crystals of different substances grow up independently. Cobalt ferrite is evenly embedded into the titanium dioxide matrix in the prepared composite films. The magnetism of the composite films is enhanced with an increase of the heat temperature.

MgAl₂O₄ spinel doping into cathode materials LiMn₂O₄ was used to improve the cyclic performance of the cathode. X-ray analysis results showed, when MgAl₂O₄ precursors were mixed with LiMn₂O₄ and sintered at 770 ℃ for 12 hour, MgAl₂O₄-LiMn₂O₄ mulriple spinel with the same physical characteristics as pure LiMn₂O₄ were synthesized.

The mechanism for doping material was also discussed.     

Efficient oxidative degradation of 2-chlorophenol and 4-chlorophenol over supported CuO-based catalysts

A series of metal oxide catalysts for catalytic oxidative degradation of 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) were prepared, and the supported CuO catalysts were studied particularly. The supported CuO catalysts were characterized by XRD and NH3-TPD techniques, in which CuO/γ-Al2O3 exhibited high degradation activity. The addition of Na2O or K2O into CuO/γ-Al2O3 improved the oxidative degradation of CPs remarkably, in which Na2O was more efficient than K2O. Over CuO/γ-Al2O3-Na2O, CPs were completely converted and the liberation of the inorganic chloride from 2-CP or 4-CP reached 97% or 100% respectively at 30 ?C for 2 h. The supported CuO catalysts with good dispersion of CuO particles and less acid sites were favorable for the efficient oxidative degradation of CPs. In addition, the initial pH of the reaction solution was found to be an important factor which influenced the catalytic oxidative degradation of CPs and the initial pH of 11.2 and 9.8 was preferred for the oxidative degradation of 2-CP and 4-CP respectively over CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst.

掺杂Fe2O3对吸附相反应技术制备TiO2的形貌和光催化性能的影响

利用吸附相反应技术制备得到了掺杂不同浓度的Fe₂O₃的TiO₂复合光催化剂。通过透射电子显微镜(TEM)、紫外可见光谱和X射线衍射(XRD)研究不同掺杂浓度对TiO₂形貌和结晶过程的影响,并利用3种波长光源下的甲基橙光降解实验考评了各个复合光催化剂的催化活性。结果表明,掺杂后复合光催化剂中Fe₂O₃分散性较好较均匀。在TiO₂紫外可见吸收光谱中由于Fe₂O₃的掺杂而出现了红移,而且随着掺杂浓度增加红移越来越明显,复合光催化剂的禁带宽度也越来越小。在焙烧过程中无定形Fe₂O₃或Fe³⁺进入了TiO₂的晶格结构,从而抑制了TiO₂的结晶过程。半导体禁带宽度的减少以及TiO₂结晶过程的抑制作用,都导致紫外光下复合光催化剂催化活性的降低。但Fe₂O₃的掺杂也使得复合光催化剂在可见光区出现了一定的光催化活性。
