Dye-sensitized solar cells made from BaTiO3-coated TiO2 nanoporous electrodes

We reported on the preparation of a thin BaTiO₃-coated layer (2.27 nm) on the surface of TiO₂ and its further application in the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The as-prepared BaTiO₃–TiO₂ films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The performances of the DSCs with and without BaTiO₃ coating were analyzed by cyclic voltammograms (CVs), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and current–voltage measurements. It was found that the BaTiO₃–TiO₂ films with about 12 μm thickness increased the dye adsorption, resulting in increased J_sc. In the meantime, the BaTiO₃ modification on the TiO₂ surface is beneficial to the formation of an energy barrier against the electron transfer from TiO₂ to I₃⁻, providing the increase of V_oc due to the increased electron density in the TiO₂ that is caused by the increased electron lifetime.     

The role of n–p junction electrodes in minimizing the charge recombination and enhancement of photocurrent and photovoltage in dye sensitized solar cells

The composite electrode comprising n-type TiO₂ and p-type NiO oxides when sensitized with Ru-dye showed short-circuit photocurrent (I_sc) of 17 mA/cm² and open-circuit photovoltage (V_oc) of 730 mV compared to I_sc of 12 mA/cm² and 700 mV for TiO₂ electrodes. Formation of a n–p junction between TiO₂ and NiO oxide layers contributes to the enhanced photocurrent, photovoltage, fill factor and efficiency. In addition to the junction effect, NiO acts as a barrier for charge recombination leading to higher cell performance. The efficiency of the NiO coated TiO₂ solar cell is 30% more than that of bare TiO₂. The negative shift of the flat-band potential of the NiO coated TiO₂ electrode compared to TiO₂ also could be one of the reasons for higher photovoltage observed for TiO₂/NiO electrode. The highest cell efficiencies were obtained immersing TiO₂ thin films in Ni²⁺ solution and converting them to NiO by firing and the optimum NiO coating thickness was found to be only a few angstroms. The energy levels of the excited dye and the band positions of TiO₂ and NiO suggest that the electron transfer from the excited dye to the underlying n-type oxide layer occurs by tunneling through the p-type NiO layer.     

异质结型光催化膜的活性及其机理研究

采用浸渍提拉法制得TiO₂,ZnO,Fe₂O₃,ZnO/TiO₂,TiO₂/ZnO,Fe₂O₃/TiO₂和TiO₂/Fe₂O₃石英玻璃基底负载膜.光催化降解亚甲基蓝实验表明,TiO₂和ZnO具有良好的光催化活性,Fe₂O₃活性较差.但形成异质结后,TiO₂和Fe₂O₃的光催化降解能力发生明显的变化.用254nm紫外光光照后,TiO₂,ZnO和Fe₂O₃等3种氧化物膜与水的接触角均有不同程度的降低,TiO₂表现出超亲水性,ZnO/TiO₂和Fe₂O₃/TiO₂膜与水的接触角小于对应的单纯ZnO和Fe₂O₃膜与水的接触角,其中Fe₂O₃/TiO₂表面出现超亲水性.瞬态光电导谱的少数载流子寿命的测定表明,异质结势垒电场能有效地增强光生电子-空穴对的分离效率.根据能带理论建立的两组异质结能带模型可合理地解释实验结果.     

半菁染料作为染料敏化太阳能电池吸光材料的理论研究

采用第一性原理研究了半菁-二氧化钛团簇形成的配合物(hemicyanine-(TiO₂)_n)的光电子转移过程, 这里n分别取5, 9, 15. 配合物基态构型采用密度泛函理论方法进行优化, 而激发态采用含时密度泛函理论进行计算. 采用长程相关校正的密度泛函CAM-B3LYP和ωB97X-D计算的激发能与实验值吻合得很好. 依据广义Mulliken-Hush (GMH)公式, 基于密度泛函理论得到的波函数被用来计算电荷转移积分, 进而可根据Marcus理论计算出电荷分离速率常数(k_CS)和电荷回传速率常数(k_CR). 计算结果表明电子从染料到(TiO₂)_n团簇的传递有多条通道, 这使得k_CS具有更大值, 相反, 只具有单通道的电荷回传降低了k_CR值, 与k_CS相比甚至可以忽略, 这表明在所研究的体系中电荷回传是不利的.

Synthesis and study of Bi2Ti2O7/TiO2 composites as efficient visible-light-active photocatalysts in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI)

In this work, Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites were synthesized and studied as potential visible-light-activated photocatalysts in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI). Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites with tunable compositions were synthesized via a solvothermal-calcination two-step method, simply by changing the molar ratios of Bi(NO_3)_3·5H_2O to tetrabutyl titanate in the reactants. The compositions, structures and optical properties of the as-synthesized Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra. The photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites was tested in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI)under visible-light(λ420 nm) irradiation, and compared with that of TiO_2 nanoparticles. It was observed that the as-synthesized Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity than TiO_2 nanoparticles, and the most efficient composite(300 mg) can achieve the complete reduction of Cr(VI) in 300 mL of 50 mg/L K_2Cr_2O_7 aqueous solution under visible-light(λ420 nm)irradiation in 90 min.

TiO₂异相结主要通过高温方法制备,所制备材料的形貌和组成较难控制,尤其是在较低温度下一步制备一维TiO₂异相结仍具有一定的挑战性。采用简单、方便的一步水热法,在较低温度下(180℃)制备了一维纳米TiO₂异相结材料。X射线衍射(XRD)和高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)分析表明,制备的材料以一维金红石相TiO₂纳米棒(长度：(400±50) nm,直径：(60±5) nm)为基本结构,粒径分布均匀的锐钛矿相TiO₂纳米粒子(直径：(9.5±0.5) nm)高密度、单分散地负载在纳米棒上。通过控制水热反应时间成功调控了异相结中锐钛矿相TiO₂的含量(20%～50%),进而实现了其光催化降解HCHO性能的调控。实验结果表明,当锐钛矿相TiO₂的含量为33%时(TiO₂-24,水热时间24 h制备的样品),异相结光催化剂表现出最佳的HCHO降解性能：在低光强LED灯(波长为365 nm,光强为12.26 mW·cm     

High-performance titanium dioxide photocatalyst on ordered mesoporous carbon support

Anatase TiO₂ photocatalysts supported with the ordered mesoporous carbon, CMK-3, were synthesized by the incorporation of TiO₂ into CMK-3 followed by heating at 700 °C. The structural properties of the TiO₂ on CMK-3 were investigated by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen physisorption and electron microscopy techniques. In particular, TiO₂ was observed both inside and the external surface of CMK-3. The photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ on CMK-3 under UV-light exhibited higher efficiency in removing the Rhodamine 6G dye solution than the commercial photocatalyst P25 and TiO₂ on activated carbon. It was attributed to the synergistic effect of large surface area adsorption provided by mesoporous CMK-3 and the distinctive location of TiO₂ on the external surface of CMK-3.

羧基功能化石墨烯增强TiO2光催化产氢性能

The use of semiconductor photocatalysts (CdS, g-C₃N₄, TiO₂, etc.) to generate hydrogen (H₂) is a prospective strategy that can convert solar energy into hydrogen energy, thereby meeting future energy demands. Among the numerous photocatalysts, TiO₂ has attracted significant attention because of its suitable reduction potential and excellent chemical stability. However, the photoexcited electrons and holes of TiO₂ are easily quenched, leading to limited photocatalytic performance. Furthermore, graphene has been used as an effective electron cocatalyst in the accelerated transport of photoinduced electrons to enhance the H₂-production performance of TiO₂, owing to its excellent conductivity and high charge carrier mobility. For an efficient graphene-based photocatalyst, the rapid transfer of photogenerated electrons is extremely important along with an effectual interfacial H₂-production reaction on the graphene surface. Therefore, it is necessary to further optimize the graphene microstructures (functionalized graphene) to improve the H₂-production performance of graphene-based TiO₂ photocatalysts. The introduction of H₂-evolution active sites onto the graphene surface is an effective strategy for the functionalization of graphene. Compared with the noncovalent functionalization of graphene (such as loading Pt, MoS_x, and CoS_x on the graphene surface), its covalent functionalization can provide a strong interaction between graphene and organic molecules in the form of H₂-evolution active sites that are produced by chemical reactions. In this study, carboxyl-functionalized graphene (rGO-COOH) was successfully modified via ring-opening and esterification reactions on the TiO₂ surface by using an ultrasound-assisted self-assembly method to prepare a high-activity TiO₂/rGO-COOH photocatalyst. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetric (TG) curves revealed the successful covalent functionalization of GO to rGO-COOH by significantly enhanced ―COOH groups in FTIR and increased peak area of carboxyl groups in XPS. A series of characterizations, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), XPS, and UV-Vis adsorption spectra, were performed to demonstrate the successful synthesis of TiO₂/rGO-COOH photocatalysts. The experimental data for the hydrogen-evolution rate showed that the TiO₂/rGO-COOH displayed an extremely high hydrogen-generation activity (254.2 μmol∙h⁻¹∙g⁻¹), which was 2.06- and 4.48-fold higher than those of TiO₂/GO and TiO₂, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of TiO₂/rGO-COOH is ascribed to the carboxyl groups of carboxyl-functionalized graphene, which act as effective hydrogen-generation active sites and enrich hydrogen ions owing to their excellent nucleophilicity that facilitates the interfacial hydrogen production reaction of TiO₂. This study provides novel insights into the development of high-activity graphene-supported photocatalysts in the hydrogen-generation field.
