Effects of PEG4000 template on sol-gel synthesis of porous cerium titanate photocatalyst

Porous cerium titanate was synthesized by sol-gel method, using polyethylene glycol (PEG4000) as template agent. Brannerite structured CeTi₂O₆ in monoclinic system is the major substance formed in the materials. Formation of CeO₂ and rutile TiO₂ depends on the amount of PEG4000. The addition of PEG4000 leads to production of fine particles in the samples, but it does not apparently affect the band gap energy. Pore volume of the cerium titanate sample continuously increases with rising PEG4000 amount. The sample obtained using 3.5 g PEG4000 has BET surface area of 16.2 m²/g and pore volume of 0.0232 cm³/g. The addition of PEG4000 can obviously promote photocatalytic activity of cerium titanate, which can be proven by both enhanced production of hydroxyl radical and ofloxacin degradation efficiency. As much as 95.2% of the initial ofloxacin molecules are removed from the solution after 50 min of photocatalytic degradation on the cerium titanate obtained using 3.5 g PEG4000, while only 48.4% ofloxacin is removed on cerium titanate obtained without PEG4000.     

Investigations on the Phase Transformation,Optical Characteristics,and Photocatalytic Activity of Synthesized Heterostructured Nanoporous Bi2O3–TiO2

Fine‐powdered, heterostructured, nanoporous Bi₂O₃–TiO₂ (BTO) was synthesized by a green approach using ultrasonication, with the mole ratio Bi/Ti of 1:1 and calcined at different temperatures. The physical and optical properties of the mixed oxides were investigated. The phase structure, as identified by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), showed the appearance of new phases as a function of the calcination temperature. Morphological examinations indicated the formation of a nanoporous structure with a drastic change in morphology at the calcination temperature of 850°C from a globule to a rod‐shaped structure, which further got transformed to a rocky appearance at 1200°C. Doping with Bi₂O₃ led to the lowering of the bandgap of TiO₂ from 3.25 to 2.5 eV. A BTO nanocatalyst calcined at 450°C exhibited promising photocatalytic activity for the degradation of quinalphos (QP) (92%) after a time interval of 100 min under visible light and at the optimum pH 8. The kinetics of degradation of QP showed that it follows a pseudo‐first‐order path with a rate constant 0.01267 min^?1. The synthesized BTO mixed oxide showed profound improvement in photocatalytic activity in the visible region as compared to TiO₂.

Nd-doped barium titanate ceramics with various Ti/Ba ratios prepared by sol-gel method

The Nd-doped BaTiO3 nanocrystalline powders and ceramics with different Ti/Ba ratios were prepared by sol-gel method. Phases and microstructures of the Nd-doped BaTiO3 based powders and ceramics were characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM methods. The results revealed that the powders synthesized by sol-gel method were nanometer scale (30-60 nm) and were mainly composed of cubic BaTiO3 with a small amount of BaCO3. After sintering at high temperature, both cubic BaTiO3 and BaCO3 were transformed into tetrahedron BaTiO3 phase. The dielectric properties of the ceramics were also determined and the influence of Ti/Ba ratio on the dielectric properties was discussed. The Tc did not change with the variation of Ti/Ba ratio, while theεmax increased firstly and then decreased. The excess TiO2 is benefit for the modification of ceramics' microstructure and dielectric properties.

Fractional precipitation synthesis and photoluminescence of La2Ti2O7:xEu3+ phosphors

Eu³⁺ ions activated La₂Ti₂O₇ (La₂Ti₂O₇:xEu³⁺) phosphors have been successfully synthesized by a fractional precipitation method from commercially available La₂O₃, Eu₂O₃, HNO₃, Ti(SO₄)₂·9H₂O and NH₃·H₂O as the starting materials. Detailed characterizations of the synthetic products were obtained by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetry and derivative thermogravimetry (DTA-TG-DTG), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The results show that the precursor is composed of amorphous particles with quasi-spherical in shape and about 50 nm in size. Moreover, the precursor could be converted into pure La₂Ti₂O₇ phase by calcining at 1000 °C for 2 h in air. The as-synthesized La₂Ti₂O₇ particles are approximate polyhedron in shape and about 100–200 nm in size. PL spectroscopy of La₂Ti₂O₇:xEu³⁺ phosphors reveals that the strongest emission peak is located at 616 nm under 275 nm ultraviolet (UV) light excitation, which corresponds to the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺ ions. The quenching concentration of Eu³⁺ ions is 10.0 mol%, and its corresponding fluorescence lifetime was 1.82 ms according to the linear fitting result. Decay study reveals that the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺ ions has a single exponential decay behavior.     

Photocatalytic decomposition of dyes using ZnO doped SnO2 nanoparticles prepared by solvothermal method

ZnO doped SnO₂ has been successfully synthesized by the solvothermal method using methanol as organic solvent. The effect of ZnO/SnO₂ molar ratios on the crystal structure, microstructure, optical and photocatalytic properties has been investigated. The synthesized samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, N₂ physical adsorption, FT-IR spectroscopy and UV–Vis spectroscopy. XRD results revealed that all diffraction peaks positions agree well with the reflection of a tetragonal rutile structure of SnO₂ phase without extra peaks at 0.1ZnO:0.9SnO₂ and 0.2ZnO:0.8SnO₂ molar ratios. However, the secondary phase of ZnO at 0.3ZnO:0.7SnO₂ molar ratio was investigated. TEM images revealed that the shape of SnO₂ particles was spherical and the particle sizes of SnO₂ and 0.3ZnO:0.7SnO₂ molar ratio were 6.2 and 16.4 nm, respectively. The newly prepared samples have been tested by the determination of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB). The results indicated that Zn²⁺ doping at 0.3ZnO:0.7 SnO₂ molar ratio showed the highest photocatalytic activity for the MB photodegradation. The heightened photocatalytic activity of ZnO/SnO₂ could be ascribed to the enhanced charge separation derived from the coupling of ZnO with SnO₂ due to the potential energy differences between SnO₂ and ZnO. The recycling tests demonstrated that 0.3ZnO:0.7 SnO₂ photocatalysts were quite stable during that liquid–solid heterogeneous photocatalysis since no decrease in activity in the first four cycles was observed.

Anatase TiO₂ porous thin films were prepared on glass substrates by sol-gel method with Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) as a pore-forming agent, Tetrabutylorthotitanate as Ti precursor, ethanol as solvent and diethanolamine as chelating agent respectively. IR, TG-DSC, XRD and SEM analyzed the chemical and physical changes during sol-gel process and characteristics of the films. Effects of the amount of CTAB, alkane and water on morphology of the films were discussed and the principle of forming porous structure was proposed. It was shown that the diameter of pores was changed in the range of 30–400 nm.     

Photoelectrochemical properties of Fe2O3-Nb2O5 films prepared by sol-gel method

Fe2O3-Nb2O5 coating films of various Nb/(Fe + Nb) mole ratios were prepared on nesa silica glass substrates from Fe(NO3)3.9H2O - NbCl5 - CH3(CH2)2CH2OH - CH3COOH solutions by the sol-gel method. The photoanodic properties were studied in a three-electrode cell with an aqueous buffer solution of pH = 7 as the supporting electrolyte. The crystalline phases identified were alpha-Fe2O3 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 0), alpha-Fe2O3 + FeNbO4 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 0.25), FeNbO4 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 0.5), FeNbO4 + Nb2O5 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 0.75), and Nb2O5 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 1). When the Nb/(Fe + Nb) mole ratio increased from 0 to 0.25, the crystalline phases changed from alpha-Fe2O3 to alpha-Fe2O3 + FeNbO4, the photoanodic current under white light illumination increased, and the photoanodic current under monochromatized light illumination increased in both visible and ultraviolet regions. When the Nb/(Fe + Nb) ratio increased over 0.25, the crystalline phases changed to FeNbO4, FeNbO4 + Nb2O5, or Nb2O5, and the photoanodic current decreased. The sample consisting of alpha-Fe2O3 and FeNbO4 (Nb/(Fe + Nb) = 0.25) exhibited photoresponse extending to 600 nm and an IPCE of 18% at a wavelength of 325 nm.     

Photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxiacetic acid and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol with ZrO2 and Mn/ZrO2 sol-gel materials

Because of its semiconductor properties, sol-gel zirconia can be used as a photocatalyst. When zirconia is doped with transition metals, its electronic properties are modified. In this work, sol-gel Mn/ZrO₂ and ZrO₂ materials were tested for photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxiacetic acid and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. The powders were characterized by XRD, UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopy. The apparent rate constants were calculated assuming pseudo-first order kinetics. The results reveal that ZrO₂ is effective as a photocatalyst; moreover, its photocatalytic properties improve when it is doped with manganese.

La2Si2O7 im I—Typ: Gemäß La6[Si4O13][SiO4]2 kein echtes Lanthandisilicat

I‐Type La₂Si₂O₇: According to La₆[Si₄O₁₃][SiO₄]₂ not a Real Lanthanum Disilicate In attempts to synthesize lanthanum telluride silicate La₂Te[SiO₄] (from La, TeO₂, SiO₂ and CsCl, molar ratio: 1 : 1: 1 : 20, 950 °C, 7 d) or fluoride‐rich lanthanum fluoride silicates (from LaF₃, La₂O₃, SiO₂ and CsCl, molar ratio: 5 : 2 : 3 : 17, 700 °C, 7 d) in evacuated silica tubes, colourless lath‐shaped single crystals of hitherto unknown I‐type La₂Si₂O₇ (monoclinic, P2₁/c; a = 726.14(5), b = 2353.2(2), c = 1013.11(8) pm, β = 90.159(7)°) were found in the CsCl‐flux melts. Nevertheless, this new modification of lanthanum disilicate does not contain any discrete disilicate groups [Si₂O₇]^6‐ but formally three of them are dismutated into one catena‐tetrasilicate ([Si₄O₁₃]^10‐ unit of four vertex‐linked [SiO₄]^4‐ tetrahedra) and two ortho‐silicate anions (isolated [SiO₄]^4‐ tetrahedra) according to La₆[Si₄O₁₃][SiO₄]₂. This compound can be described as built up of alternating layers of these [SiO₄]^4‐ and the horseshoe‐shaped [Si₄O₁₃]^10‐ anions along [010]. Between and within the layers the high‐coordinated La ³⁺ cations (CN = 9 ‐ 11) are localized. The close structural relationship to the borosilicates M₃[BSiO₆][SiO₄](M = Ce ‐ Eu) is discussed and structural comparisons with other catena‐tetrasilicates are presented.

Über den H‐ und A‐Typ von La2[Si2O7]

On the H‐ and A‐Type Structure of La₂[Si₂O₇] By thermal decomposition of La₃F₃[Si₃O₉] at 700 °C in a CsCl flux single crystals of a new form of La₂[Si₂O₇] have been found which is called H type (triclinic, P1; a = 681.13(4), b = 686.64(4), c = 1250.23(8) pm, α = 82.529(7), β = 88.027(6), γ = 88.959(6)°; V_m = 87.223(9) cm³/mol, D_x = 5.113(8) g/cm³, Z = 4) continuing Felsche's nomenclature. It crystallizes isotypically to the triclinic K₂[Cr₂O₇] in a structure closely related to that of A–La₂[Si₂O₇] (tetragonal, P4₁; a = 683.83(7), c = 2473.6(4) pm; V_m = 87.072(9) cm³/mol, D_x = 5.122(8) g/cm³, Z = 8). For comparison, the latter has been refined from single crystal data, too. Both the structures can be described as sequence of layers of each of two crystallographically different [Si₂O₇]^6– anions always built up of two corner‐linked [SiO4] tetrahedra in eclipsed conformation with non‐linear Si–O–Si bridges (∢(Si–O–Si) = 128–132°) piled up in [001] direction and aligned almost parallel to the c axis. They differ only in layer sequence: Whereas the double tetrahedra of the disilicate units are tilted alternating to the left and in view direction ([010]; stacking sequence: AB) in H–La₂[Si₂O₇], after layer B there follow due to the 4₁ screw axis layers with anions tilted to the right and tilted against view direction ([010]; stacking sequence: ABA′B′) in A–La₂[Si₂O₇]. The extremely irregular coordination polyhedra around each of the four crystallographically independent La³⁺ cations in both forms (H and A type) consist of eight to ten oxygen atoms in spacing intervals of 239 to 330 pm. The possibility of more or less ordered intermediate forms will be discussed.

The diffusion of Pt in BST films on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by sol-gel method

Barium strontium titanate (Ba_0.65Sr_0.35TiO₃) ferroelectric thin films have been prepared by sol-gel method on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrate. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern indicated that the films were a polycrystalline perovskite structure and the atomic force microscope (AFM) image showed that the crystallite size and the root mean square roughness (RMS) were 90 nm and 3.6 nm, respectively. The X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) images showed that Pt consisting in BST thin films was the metallic state, and the Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) analysed the Pt concentration in different depth profiles of BST thin films. The result displayed that the Pt diffusion in BST thin film is divided into two regions: near the BST/Pt interface, the diffusion type was volume diffusion, and far from the interface correspondingly, the diffusion type became grain boundary diffusion. In this paper, the previous researcher’s result was used to verify our conclusion.
