Synthesis and Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2/CdS Nanocomposites with Co-Exposed Anatase Highly Reactive Facets

In this work, TiO₂/CdS nanocomposites with co-exposed {101}/[111]-facets (NH4F-TiO2/CdS), {101}/{010} facets (FMA-TiO2/CdS), and {101}/{010}/[111]-facets (HF-TiO2/CdS and Urea-TiO2/CdS) were successfully synthesized through a one-pot solvothermal method by using [Ti₄O₉]²⁻ colloidal solution containing CdS crystals as the precursor. The crystal structure, morphology, specific surface area, pore size distribution, separation, and recombination of photogenerated electrons/holes of the TiO₂/CdS nanocomposites were characterized. The photocatalytic activity and cycling performance of the TiO₂/CdS nanocomposites were also investigated. The results showed that as-prepared FMA-TiO₂/CdS with co-exposed {101}/{010} facets exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity in the process of photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO), and its degradation efficiency was 88.4%. The rate constants of FMA-TiO₂/CdS was 0.0167 min⁻¹, which was 55.7, 4.0, 3.7, 3.5, 3.3, and 1.9 times of No catalyst, CdS, HF-TiO₂/CdS, NH₄F-TiO₂/CdS, CM-TiO₂, Urea-TiO₂/CdS, respectively. The highest photocatalytic activity of FMA-TiO₂/CdS could be attributed to the synergistic effects of the largest surface energy, co-exposed {101}/{010} facets, the lowest photoluminescence intensity, lower charge-transfer resistance, and a higher charge-transfer efficiency.     

Mussel‐Directed Synthesis of Nitrogen‐Doped Anatase TiO2

Structure‐forming processes leading to biominerals are well worth learning in pursuit of new synthetic techniques. Strategies that attempt to mimic nature in vitro cannot replace an entire complex natural organism, requiring ingenuity beyond chemists′ hands. A “bioprocess‐inspired synthesis” is demonstrated for fabrication of N‐doped TiO₂ materials at ambient temperature by direct implantation of precursor into living mussels. The amorphous precursor transforms into N‐doped anatase TiO₂ with a hierarchical nanostructure. Synthetic TiO₂ exhibits high phase stability and enhanced visible‐light photocatalytic activity as a result of modifications to its band gap during in vivo mineralization. Intracellular proteins were found to be involved in TiO₂ mineralization. Our findings may inspire material production by new synthetic techniques, especially under environmentally benign conditions.     

Au掺杂方式对锐钛矿TiO2光催化性能的影响

Preparation,Microstructure and Photocatalytic Activity of the Porous TiO2 Anatase Coating by Sol-Gel Processing

In this study the porous TiO² anatase coatings are prepared from alkoxide solutions containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) by a dip-coating technique. The effects of PEG addition to the precursor solution on the photocatalytic activity and microstructure of the resultant coatings are studied. The larger amount and the larger molecular weight of PEG, the larger size and more pores produced in the resultant coatings on the decomposition of PEG during heat-treatment. The adsorbed hydroxyl content of such porous coatings is found to increase due to the larger size and more pores in the coatings. However, the transmittance of the coatings decreases due to the scattering by the larger size and more pores. Photocatalytic degradation experiments show that organophosphorous insecticide, dimethyl-2,2-dichlorovinyl phosphate (DDVP), was efficiently degraded in the presence of the porous TiO₂ coatings by exposing the DDVP solution to sunlight. Photocatalytic degradation rate was related to the adsorbed hydroxyl content, transmittance and morphology of the resultant coatings.

Size‐Dependent Surface Activity of Rutile and Anatase TiO2 Nanocrystals: Facile Surface Modification and Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance

The size‐dependent surface activity of titania was illustrated through the formation of ultrafine nanocrystals with clean surfaces. It was demonstrated that, when the size of the nanocrystals was small enough, their surface activity could be significantly enhanced, as evidenced by the formation of transparent macroassemblies, their increased dispersity in various solvents, the facile modification of their surface by organic molecules at room temperature, their strong visible‐light absorption through coordination with peroxide, and highly enhanced photocatalytic performance.     

Enhancing the Photocatalytic Activity of Anatase TiO2 by Improving the Specific Facet‐Induced Spontaneous Separation of Photogenerated Electrons and Holes

Recently, it has been proven that directional flow of photogenerated charge carriers occurs on specific facets of TiO₂ nanocrystals. Herein, we demonstrate that the photocatalytic activity of anatase TiO₂ nanocrystals in both photoreduction and photooxidation processes can be enhanced by selectively depositing Pt nanoparticles on the {101} facets, which strengthens spontaneously surface‐induced separation between photogenerated electrons and holes in the photocatalysis process. An optimal ratio of the oxidative {001} facets to the reductive {101} facets exists with regard to the photocatalysis of the faceted TiO₂ nanocrystals, and this is crucial for balancing the recombination and redox reaction rates of photogenerated electrons and holes. The present work might help us gain deeper insight into the relation between the specific surface of semiconductor photocatalysts and their photocatalytic activities and provides us with a new route to design photocatalysts with high photocatalytic activity.
