Photocatalytic activities of poly(methyl methacrylate)/titanium dioxide nanofiber mat

This study aimed to evaluate the photocatalytic activities of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanofiber mat. TiO₂ nanoparticles in crystal phase were first prepared by sol-gel process and then PMMA/TiO₂ nanofiber mat was prepared through electrospinning. The composite (PMMA/TiO₂) nanofiber mat was compared with that of pure PMMA nanofiber mat through performing FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, weight loss and water contact angle measurements. The photocatalytic activity of PMMA/TiO₂ nanofiber mat was evaluated by investigating both the photocatalytic decomposition of a model dye, methylene blue, and photocatalytic degradation of the composite nanofiber mat in the ambient air under ultraviolet light irradiation.     

Heterogeneous composite titanium dioxide photocatalysts on phosphate supports

A series of heterogeneous composite photocatalysts was prepared by the deposition of titanium dioxide on porous magnesium phosphate, calcium phosphate, titanium phosphate, zirconium phosphate, and aluminum phosphate supports. The activities of these photocatalysts were compared in the photodecomposition of Rhodamine C dye by the action of UV irradiation. The best functional characteristics were found for the photocatalysts on the magnesium phosphate support treated at 750°C. The use of the photocatalysts on phosphate supports was found to hold promise in photocatalytic water purification.

Photocatalytic Reduction of Nitrobenzene by Titanium Dioxide Powder

The feasibility of photocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene using titanium dioxide powder as photocatalyst, under the protection of nitrogen and presence of hole scavenger conditions, was studied. Effects of the illumination time, amount of catalyst and sorts of solvent on the photocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene were investigated, respectively. The results showed that, for the photocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene, aniline was the main product. When the illumination time was 6 h, 8.15×10^?4 mol/L of nitrobenzene could be photocatalytically reduced completely, with the yield of aniline being 88.5%. The optimum amount of TiO₂ used was 4.0 g/L, the optimum initial pH value of reaction solution was 4.0 and the best solvent was methanol. The kinetics and mechanisms of the photocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene were also discussed.     

Photocatalytic and magnetic titanium dioxide/polystyrene/magnetite composite hybrid polymer particles

Novel multifunctional titanium dioxide (TiO₂)/polystyrene/magnetite composite hybrid polymer particle dispersions with TiO₂ nanoparticles in the surface and magnetite nanoparticles encapsulated inside the polymer matrix were produced by Pickering miniemulsion polymerization in one single step. Whereas TiO₂ nanoparticles were used to impart photocatalytic functionality and colloidal stability, magnetite nanoparticles were incorporated to allow an easy extraction for recovery and reuse of the composite multifunctional particles. The morphology of the composite particles was assessed by scanning transition electron microscopy (STEM) and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX). The paramagnetism of the particles was analyzed using a SQUID magnetometer and their photocatalytic activity was assessed by degrading methylene blue (MB) solutions under UV light and by recovering and reusing of the particles in five consecutive cycles. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In parallel with TiO₂ content up to 30 wt.%, the photocatalytic activity of PVB/TiO₂ composites was enhanced and the composites exhibited higher discoloration rate of the model dye, methylene blue.

Synthesis and visible light photocatalysis of Fe-doped TiO2 mesoporous layers deposited on hollow glass microbeads

Nano-composite of Fe-doped anatase TiO₂ nanocrystals loaded on the hollow glass microbeads was prepared by co-thermal hydrolysis deposition and calcining treatment. The adherence of TiO₂ mesoporous layers to the surfaces of hollow glass microbeads prevented the aggregation of TiO₂ nanoparticles and benefited to their catalytic activity. The doping of Fe ions makes the absorption edge of the TiO₂ based nano-composite red-shifted into the visible region. An effective photodegradation of the methyl orange aqueous solution was achieved under visible light (λ>420 nm) irradiation, revealing the potential applicability of such nano-composite in some industry fields, such as air and water purifications.

Anion adsorption in the course of dichromate reduction on a smooth gold electrode in aqueous acid solutions

The specific adsorption of anions (HSO₄ ⁻, Cl⁻) present in low concentration (c < 10⁻³ mol dm⁻³) was studied by radiotracer techniques in the course of the reduction of dichromate (chromate) species in 1 mol dm⁻³ HClO₄ supporting electrolyte. In accordance with the results of preliminary studies reported earlier, enhancement of the anion adsorption was found, induced by some adsorbed intermediates of the reduction process. Potential dependence of the induced adsorption and its correlation with the reduction rate was investigated. The role of adsorption competition between various anions is discussed. It is concluded that study of the induced anion adsorption could be a tool for the investigation of the sorption of intermediates formed in the course of the reduction.
