Surface properties and photocatalytic activity of nanocrystalline titania films

In this work the efficiency and physicochemical details of a thin film produced by help of a microwave assisted sol gel technique is compared to different commercial powders (Degussa P25 and Hombikat UV100) deposited on glass substrates. Furthermore, a supercritical produced TiO₂ powder (SC 134) was included in the comparison.The prepared TiO₂ films were characterized using XRD, XPS, AFM, DSC and DLS. The photocatalytic activity was determined using stearic acid as a model compound. Investigation of the prepared films showed that the Degussa P25 film and the sol–gel film were the most photocatalytic active films. The activity of the films was found to be related to the crystallinity of the TiO₂ film and the amount of surface area and surface hydroxyl groups. Based on the XPS investigation of the films before and after UV irradiation it was suggested that the photocatalytic destruction of organic matter on TiO₂ films proceeds partly through formation of hydroxyl radicals which are formed from surface hydroxyl groups created by interactions between adsorbed water and vacancies on the TiO₂ surface. Furthermore a correlation between the amount of OH groups on the surface of the different TiO₂ films and the photocatalytic activity was found.     

Preparation and photocatalytic activity of multi-modally macro/mesoporous titania

Hierarchically disorder sponge-like macro/mesoporous titania was prepared by adding distilled water dropwise to a coating of tetrabutyl titanate. The results reveal that the un-calcined samples show obvious photocatalytic activity and multi-modal pore-size distribution. With increasing calcination temperatures, the photocatalytic activity and crystallinity increase. At 400°C, the calcined sample shows the highest photocatalytic activity. Further increasing the calcination temperatures results in the decrease of photocatalytic activity due to the drastic decrease of specific surface areas. However, the 600°C-calcined sample exhibits the highest specific photocatalytic activity due to high anatase crystallinity.     

Effect of calcination atmosphere on the structure and photocatalytic properties of titania mesoporous powder

In the work presented here, mesoporous titania (MTO) powders are synthesised by the sol?Cgel method using amphiphilic triblock copolymer as a template in two different calcination atmospheres, N₂ and air. Various techniques such as sequential thermal analysis (STA), small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXRD), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet (UV)?Cvisible spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and N₂-adsorption/desorption analysis were utilised to study the prepared samples. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activities of the prepared samples were evaluated from the photo-degradation analysis of methylene blue (MB). For the sample calcined at N₂, the formation of an ordered mesostructure with a high specific surface area (172?m²?g^?1), mesoporosity (48%) and enhanced photocatalytic activity were obtained compared to that of the sample calcined in air. The observed increased MB degradation for the latter is mainly attributed to the formation of higher specific surface area and mesoporosity. The availability of highly ordered open-pore channels could provide increased contacts between reactants in the solution and the active sites on the surface of titania mesoporous particles. Considering the photoactivities of the samples, it is revealed that the photocatalytic activity is enhanced, together with an increase in the surface defects in N₂ atmosphere.     

“Self activation”properties of the nanophase photocatalytic titania precursors

Summary Unexpected photocatalytic properties of templated precursors of nanostructured TiO₂(titania) were observed in the development of a generally applicable method for the synthesis of a truly nanocrystalline titania at temperatures compatible with plastic catalytic supports. It specifically comprised the “self-activation”feature of the TiO₂nanostructured precursor (produced within the non-ionic surfactant template) likely induced by the preparation method “imprinted”photoactivity. Such behavior complied with the principal aim to develop the photocatalytic material without recourse to any significant thermal step.     

The effect of silver doping on photocatalytic properties of titania multilayer membranes

In this investigation an Ag doped titania multilayer membrane is successfully fabricated via the sol–gel processing method. The doped membrane is characterized via X-ray Diffraction and N₂-sorption techniques and the photocatalytic properties of the membrane are investigated via methyl orange degradation. The properties included high surface area (101 m²/g), small pore size (3.1 nm), and active anatase crystal phase. The prepared titania membrane has a high photocatalytic activity and decomposes methyl orange by 50% after 9 h of UV irradiation. The prepared membrane can be applied in the development of efficient photocatalytic systems for the treatment of water. Due to the high photoactivity of the prepared titania membrane, this study reveals the possibility of combining two processes for removal of organic pollutants: the photocatalytic process and the membrane separation process. In the combining process the lifetime of the membrane increases and the quality of water is enhanced.     

Preparation, phase transformation and photocatalytic activities of cerium-doped mesoporous titania nanoparticles

Cerium-doped mesoporous TiO₂ nanoparticles with high surface area and thermal stable anatase wall were synthesized via hydrothermal process in a cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/Ti(SO₄)₂/Ce(NO₃)₄/H₂O system. The obtained materials were characterized by XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, FTIR spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption and DRS spectra. Experimental results indicated that the doping of cerium not only increased the surface area of mesoporous TiO₂ nanoparticles, but also inhibited the mesopores collapse and the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation. Moreover, the undoped, doped anatase mesoporous nanoparticles exhibit higher photocatalytic activity than commercial photocatalyst (Degussa, P25), but the maximum photodegradation rate corresponds to the undoped mesoporous TiO₂ nanoparticles. The lower photocatalytic activities of cerium-doped samples compared with undoped one may be ascribed to that the doped cerium partially blocks titania's surface sites available for the photodegradation and absorption of Rhodamine B (RB).

A study of the use of crystalline titania for cobalt fixation

A study of fixation of cobalt on the crystalline matrix of titania by co-precipitation was carried out. The tracer level solid-liquid distribution of⁶⁰Co over preformed hydrous titania showed an appreciable uptake of 71%. Macro amounts of Co²⁺ ions were precipitated along with Ti(IV) hydroxide (pH 8–9) and a maximum loading of 29 wt% was observed. The Soxhlet leachabilities of the calcined mixed mass, heated at 1000 °C, were found to be in the order of 10^–1 g·m^–2·d^–1 and the observation of structural changes of the original host matrix of titania revealed the fixation of cobalt in the mineral assemblage of CoTiO₃ (rhombohedral) and the rutile form of titania.     

Preparation and properties of titania–apatite hybrid films

TiO₂–hydroxyapatite (HAp) hybrid films were prepared by laminating TiO₂ films with holes on the HAp film. We prepared transparent porous HAp film through spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD) method. The HAp possessed affinity against proteins. TiO₂ films were prepared using phase separation of alkoxide. The holes provided from this process serve as an adsorption field and photocatalytic reaction field for reactants. This work demonstrated that the TiO₂–HAp hybrid films produced by this process are candidates for photocatalytic decomposition of germs, viruses, and other biohazardous substances in the environment.     

Preparation,characterization and photocatalytic performance of polyoxometalate / polyaniline / titania ternary composite

A new CoW₁₁Mn/PANI/TiO₂ ternary composite was synthesized with K₈[Co(H₂O)MnW₁₁O₃₉] (CoW₁₁Mn) and PANI/TiO₂ by electrostatic self-assembly. These catalysts were characterized using infrared (IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, and N₂ adsorption–desorption. CoW₁₁Mn/PANI/TiO₂ was used to photodegradate the example contaminant, gentian violet (GV). Under the optimum photodegradation conditions, 92.63% degradation was achieved, indicating that the introduction of polyoxometalate and polyaniline greatly enhanced the photocatalytic performance of the catalyst. Moreover, CoW₁₁Mn/PANI/TiO₂ exhibits stable performance with little loss in activity after three successive runs. Thus, CoW₁₁Mn/PANI/TiO₂ ternary composite could be a promising photocatalyst in photodegradation of organic pollutants.

Immobilization of yttrium over crystalline titania

A co-precipitation method was adopted for the immobilization of yttrium radioactive waste over crystalline titania. A high uptake of⁹¹Y was observed over the preformed hydrous titania. Weighable quantity of Y was coprecipitated with Ti(IV) hydroxide and a maximum of 38 wt% was found to be adsorbed. Mixed masses were calcined separately at 800 and 1000°C for 20 hours, and soxhlet leach tests at 97°C, repeated 7 times at an interval of 24 hours, showed the release of yttrium in the order of 10^–1 and 10^–2 g·m^–2·d^–1, respectively. X-ray powder diffraction analysis revealed that the yttrium was immobilized in the titania crystal lattice which suffered some structural changes with the formation of new mineral phase Y₂Ti₂O₇ which is accompanied by rutile and little quantity of anatase form of titania at 800°C, and only rutile form of titania at 1000°C.     

Fixation of cesium on crystalline titania with high leach-resistivity

A study of fixation of caesium on crystalline titania by co-precipitation was carried out. A maximum loading of ∼46wt% of caesium was found to be incorporated in the titania matrix. High leach-resistivity of Cs cations was observed to be in the order of 10⁻⁶–10⁻⁸ g^.m^−2.d⁻¹ by Soxhlet flow refluxing at 97 °C of the composite material calcined at 800, 1000 °C for 48 hours. The analysis of X-ray powder diffractions of the composite materials revealed that cesium was fixed in the crystal lattice of host titania with the formation of new mineral phases of CsTi₄O₉ and Cs₂Ti₅O₁₁. The results, taken together, implicate that a better fixation of caesium on titania can be achieved by calcination at 1000 °C for 48 hours.

Preparation and liquid crystalline properties of spherical cellulose nanocrystals

A novel kind of spherical cellulose nanocrystal (SCNC) suspension was prepared by hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose with a mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid under ultrasonic treatment. The mechanism of SCNC formation and the liquid crystalline properties of their suspensions were investigated. A suspension of spherical particles was usually inclined to form crystallization colloids rather than liquid crystals at high concentration. However, a SCNC suspension with high polydispersity (49%) was observed to form the liquid crystalline phase, and the liquid crystalline textures changed with increasing concentration. This observation offers an approach to the liquid crystal formation of highly polydisperse spherical nanoparticles.     

Preparation and photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation of mesostructured titania particles modified with phthalocyanine in the pores

Mesostructured titania particles modified with phthalocyanine (Pc) were prepared by using molecular self-assemblies of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) with solubilized Pc as a template. Low-angle X-ray diffraction pattern and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image clearly show the formation of Pc/titania particles with hexagonal mesopore structures. Diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectrum and fluorescence spectrum of Pc/titania indicate that Pc molecules in the pores are in a monomeric state. In addition, Pc/titania particles have photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation (>610 nm) due to the reduction reaction by the electrons transferred from Pc to titania.
