Photocatalytic activity of nitrogen-modified TiO2/SiO2

The physicochemical characteristics of nitrogen-modified TiO₂/SiO₂ and its photocatalytic activity in the oxidation of methyl orange (MO) were studied. Nitrogen-modified TiO₂/SiO₂ had higher activity than the unmodified samples. The photocatalytic oxidation of MO obeys the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model.     

Carbon-doped anatase TiO2 nanotube array/glass and its enhanced photocatalytic activity under solar light

To enhance the photocatalytic activity under solar light, highly ordered TiO₂ nanotube arrays (TNAs) film with anatase phase was fabricated on glass and successfully doped with carbon at various temperatures of 450–550 °C. The characterization results indicate that, after carbon doping, the TNAs still remained nanotubular structure with anatase phase. But their optical response shifted from UV to the visible light region and the recombination of photogenerated carriers was suppressed effectively. It is more important that the carbon-doped TNAs/glass (C-TNAs) samples exhibited high solar light photocatalytic activity, and 68%, 61% and 56% MO was photodegraded in 150 min by the C-TNAs calcined at 550, 500 and 450 °C, respectively. Especially, the apparent reaction rate constant of C-TNAs calcined at 550 (k, 0.065 min⁻¹) with the highest activity is 3.6 times that of pristine anatase TNAs (k, 0.018 min⁻¹). It is clear that carbon doping enhanced the photocatalytic activity under sunlight at optimized annealing temperature. The efficient activity could be attributed to the synergetic effects of strong visible light absorption, good crystallization, large surface, and enhanced separation of photoinduced carriers.     

PdO/TiO2 and Pd/TiO2 Heterostructured Nanobelts with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity

Heterostructures play an important role not only in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, but also in the field of catalysis. Herein, we report the synthesis of PdO/TiO₂ and Pd/TiO₂ heterostructured nanobelts by means of a simple co‐precipitation method, followed by a reduction process using surface‐modified TiO₂ nanobelts as templates. The as‐obtained heterostructures were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. PdO and Pd nanoparticles with a size of about 1.3 and 1.6 nm were assembled uniformly on the surface of TiO₂ nanobelts, respectively. Compared with TiO₂ nanobelts, PdO/TiO₂ and Pd/TiO₂ hybrid nanobelts exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activity upon UV and visible‐light irradiation. Photoelectrochemical technology was used to study the heterostructure effect on enhanced photocatalytic activity. Our mechanistic investigation revealed that energy‐band matching is the major factor in the observed enhancement of photocatalytic activity.     

Photocatalytic decomposition of gaseous acetone using TiO2 and Pt/TiO2 catalysts

Metallic platinum was photodeposited on TiO₂ particles, and morphological characteristics of the Pt/TiO₂ catalyst were determined. The dispersion of metallic platinum was uniform and did not alter the morphology of the TiO₂ particles. However, absorbance of the Pt/TiO₂ catalyst for light with wavelength more than 400 nm was significantly improved by the addition of metallic platinum. Gaseous acetone was decomposed in an annular photoreactor coated with TiO₂ or Pt/TiO₂ catalysts using a UV or a fluorescent lamp as light source. The decomposition of acetone with the application of a UV lamp was obviously enhanced for experiments conducted with Pt/TiO₂ catalyst. Decomposition of acetone was promoted considerably with increasing oxygen concentration for experiments conducted with oxygen less than 50,000 ppmv, yet the decomposition of acetone was kept relatively constant for experiments conducted with oxygen above 50,000 ppmv. On the basis of the mass balance for carbon species, the amount of organic intermediates formed for experiments conducted under various conditions was found to be minimal. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Photocatalytic cleavage of single TiO2/DNA nanoconjugates

TiO(2)/DNA nanoconjugates were successfully fabricated by using the catechol moiety as a binding functional group, which was confirmed by steady-state absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies. Upon UV irradiation, the photocatalytic cleavage of the TiO(2)/DNA nanoconjugates was observed at the single-molecule level by using wide-field fluorescence microscopy. The decrease in the number of conjugates, which was estimated from the luminescent spots due to semiconductor quantum dots modified at the DNA strand, was significantly inhibited by a single A/C mismatch in the DNA sequences. This result strongly suggests that the migration of holes, which are injected from the photoexcited TiO(2) into the DNA, through the DNA bases plays an important role in the photocatalytic cleavage of the conjugates. The influences of the photogenerated reactive oxygen species (ROS) on the cleavage efficiency were also examined. According to the experimental results, it was concluded that oxidation of the catechol moiety and/or the DNA damage are key reactions in this process.     

UV/TiO2 Photocatalytic Degradation of Xanthene Dyes

UV/titanium dioxide (TiO₂) degradation of two xanthene dyes, erythrosine B (Ery) and eosin Y (Eos), was studied in a photocatalytic reactor. Photocatalysis was able to degrade 98% of Ery and 73% of Eos and led to 65% of chemical oxygen demand removal. Experiments in buffered solutions at different initial pH values reveal the pH dependence of the process, with better results obtained under acidic conditions due to the electrostatic attraction caused by the opposite charges of TiO₂ (positive) and of anionic dyes (negative). Batch activity tests under methanogenic conditions showed the high toxicity exerted by the dyes even at low concentrations (~85% with initial concentration of 0.3 mmol L^?1), but the end products of photocatalytic treatment were much less toxic toward methanogenic bacteria, as detoxification of 85 ± 5% for Eos and 64 ± 7% for Ery were obtained. In contrast, the dyes had no inhibitory effect on the biogenic‐carbon biodegradation activity of aerobic biomass, obtained by respirometry. The results demonstrate that photocatalysis combining UV/TiO₂ as a pretreatment followed by an anaerobic biological process may be promising for the treatment of wastewaters produced by many industries.

Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 with H2O on TiO2 and Cu/TiO2 catalysts

Photoinduced reduction of CO₂ by H₂O to produce CH₄ and CH₃OH has been investigated on wellcharacterized standard TiO₂ catalysts and on a Cu²⁺ loaded TiO₂ catalyst. The efficiency of this photoreaction depends strongly on the kind of catalyst and the ratio of H₂O to CO₂. Anatase TiO₂, which has a large band gap and numerous surface OH groups, shows high efficiency for photocatalytic CH₄ formation. Photogenerated Ti³⁺ ions, H and CH₃ radicals are observed as reactive intermediates, by ESR at 77 K. Cu-loading of the small, powdered TiO₂ catalyst (Cu/TiO₂) brings about additional formation of CH₃OH. XPS studies suggest that Cu⁺ plays a significant role in CH₃OH formation.     

Photocatalytic TiO2 coatings on limestone

The application of photocatalytic coatings on stone has been investigated for providing surface protection and self-cleaning properties. Sol–Gel and hydrothermal processes were used to synthesise TiO₂ colloidal suspensions and coatings with enhanced photocatalytic activity without any thermal curing of the coated stone. The stone was a porous limestone (apulian sedimentary carbonatic, calcite stone). Films and powders prepared from TiO₂ sols were studied using X-ray diffraction to evaluate the microstructure and identify rutile and anatase phases. A morphological and physical characterisation was carried out on coated and uncoated stone to establish the changes of appearance, colour, water absorption by capillarity and water vapour permeability. The photocatalytic activity of the coated surface was evaluated under UV irradiation through NO _x and organics degradation tests. The performances of the synthesised TiO₂ sols were compared with commercial TiO₂ suspension. Since the coating doesn’t need temperature treatments for activating the photocatalytic properties, the nano-crystalline hydrothermal TiO₂ sols seem good candidate for coating applications on stone that cannot be annealed after the coating application.

Photocatalytic reduction of nitrate over TiO2 and Ag-modified TiO2

This research work presents the efficiency of the TiO₂ and Ag–TiO₂ thin films prepared by the sol–gel method and coated onto the surface of 304 stainless steel sheets used in the photocatalytic nitrate reduction processes. The Ag–TiO₂ thin films had the weight by weight (w/w) ratio of Ag⁺/TiO₂ of 0.1% as Ag atom. The XRD results showed that the crystalline phase structure of TiO₂ on the Ag–TiO₂ thin films was anatase. The optical band gaps of the TiO₂ and 0.1% Ag–TiO₂ thin films were respectively 3.27 and 2.70 eV, while the surface of the prepared catalysts was hydrophobic with the respective average water contact angles of 94.8° and 118.5° for the TiO₂ and 0.1% Ag–TiO₂ thin films. The net efficiencies of photocatalytic nitrate reduction of TiO₂ and 0.1% Ag–TiO₂ were 41.4% and 70.0%, respectively. The loading of Ag only influenced the nitrate removal efficiency without affecting the stoichiometric ratio of formate to nitrate. The net stoichiometric ratio of formate to nitrate of all experiments was 2.8:1.0, which is close to the stoichiometric ratio of 2.5:1.0 of the nitrate reduction to nitrite and then to nitrogen gas.     

X-ray absorption spectral analyses by theoretical calculations for TiO2 and Ni-doped TiO2 thin films on glass plates.

Ni L- and Ti L-edge as well as Ti K-edge X-ray absorption experiments for TiO2 thin films and Ni-doped TiO2 thin films coated on glass plates were performed using synchrotron radiation to investigate the structures around Ni and Ti ions in the films. The obtained spectra were compared with the results of theoretical calculations. It has consequently been found that the spectral features were affected by a change in the oxidizing form of Ni ions due to hydrogen reduction, by the charge variation and/or slight orbital splitting of Ti ions, and by the magnitude of the interaction between the center Ti ion and neighboring Ti ions.
