利用光沉积方法在TiO₂表面分别负载1%(质量分数) Pt、Pd、Au和Ag助催化剂.用TEM、XRD、UV-vis等技术对催化剂进行了表征,并利用连续瞬态电流时间响应和线性扫描伏安法等电化学方法,对贵金属负载的TiO₂光催化剂在光照条件下的电流响应强度及电催化析氢电位等特性加以测试.分析了贵金属助催化剂对光催化还原CO₂性能的差异.结果表明,负载贵金属助催化剂能显著加速光生电子空穴的分离,降低复合率;另外,助催化剂对还原CO₂选择性的顺序为Ag>Au>Pd>Pt.贵金属助催化剂还原CO₂的加氢选择性和析氢过电位存在相关性,即越不利于析氢过程的助催化剂,其催化CO₂加氢还原产物的选择性越高.     

H2 production with low CO selectivity from photocatalytic reforming of glucose on metal/TiO2 catalysts

H₂ with low CO concentration is produced via photocatalytic reforming of glucose (as a representative of biomass component) on metal/TiO₂ catalyst (metals: Pt, Rh, Ru, Ir, Au, Ni, Cu). It is shown that the loaded metals generally enhance the rate of H₂ production, while they depress the CO selectivity. Both H₂ production and CO selectivity are strongly dependent on the kind of deposited metals on TiO₂. For example, Rh/TiO₂ catalyst is found to be most active for H₂ production while with the most extremely low CO concentration from the photocatalytic reforming of glucose.

Building surface defects by doping with transition metal on ultrafine TiO2 to enhance the photocatalytic H2 production activity

Inefficient charge separation and limited light absorption are two critical issues associated with high-efficiency photocatalytic H₂ production using TiO₂. Surface defects within a certain concentration range in photocatalyst materials are beneficial for photocatalytic activity. In this study, surface defects (oxygen vacancies and metal cation replacement defects) were induced with a facile and effective approach by surface doping with low-cost transition metals (Co, Ni, Cu, and Mn) on ultrafine TiO₂. The obtained surface-defective TiO₂ exhibited a 3–4-fold improved activity compared to that of the original ultrafine TiO_2. In addition, a H₂ production rate of 3.4 μmol/h was obtained using visible light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation. The apparent quantum yield (AQY) at 365 nm reached 36.9% over TiO₂-Cu, significantly more than the commercial P25 TiO₂. The enhancement of photocatalytic H₂ production activity can be attributed to improved rapid charge separation efficiency and expanded light absorption window. This hydrothermal treatment with transition metal was proven to be a very facile and effective method for obtaining surface defects.     

TiO2纳米管阵列覆盖Si薄膜光催化还原CO2性能的研究

TiO2/activated carbon fibers photocatalyst: Effects of coating procedures on the microstructure, adhesion property, and photocatalytic ability

In order to more easily separate TiO₂ photocatalyst from the treated wastewater, TiO₂ film was immobilized on the surface of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) by employing two kinds of coating procedures, dip-coating, and hydrothermal treatment. The effects of coating procedures on microstructure of TiO₂-coated ACFs (TiO₂/ACFs), such as morphology, porous property, crystal structure, and light absorption characteristics were investigated in detail. The adhesion property between TiO₂ film and ACFs was evaluated by ultrasonic vibration, and the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂/ACFs was tested by the photocatalytic decoloration of methylene blue solution. The results show that hydrothermal treatment presented many advantages to obtain high-performance TiO₂/ACFs photocatalyst in comparison with dip-coating. Hydrothermal treatment could improve the binding property between TiO₂ films and ACFs, which endowed the as-obtained TiO₂/ACFs photocatalyst with improved reusable performance, and TiO₂/ACFs synthesized by hydrothermal treatment presented higher photocatalytic activity.

Enhancement of visible-light photocatalytic activity of Cu-doped TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanoparticles

Bare TiO₂ and Cu-doped TiO₂ nanoparticles with different nominal doping amounts of Cu ranging from of 0.5 to 5.0 mol% were synthesized using the modified sol–gel method. The samples were physically characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller-specific surface area, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, zeta potential, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma, and photoluminescence techniques. The Cu-doped TiO₂ exhibited good photocatalytic activity in mineralization of oxalic acid and formic acid under visible light irradiation. Photomineralization of oxalic and formic acids under visible light irradiation revealed greatly enhanced photoactivity exhibited by the 2.0 mol% Cu-doped TiO₂ photocatalyst compared to bare TiO₂ . The enhanced photocatalytic performance arises from copper ion doping in the TiO₂ structure, leading to an extended photoresponsive range, enhanced photogenerated charge separation, and transportation efficiency.     

Comparative Studies on the Deactivation and Regeneration of TiO2 Nanoparticles in Three Photocatalytic Oxidation Systems: C7H16, SO2, and C7H16-SO2

Three photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) systems: C₇H₁₆-O₂, SO₂-O₂ and C₇H₁₆-SO₂-O₂ were carried out with the aid of UV-illuminated TiO₂ nanoparticles at room temperature in a batch reactor. In C₇H₁₆-O₂-TiO₂ system, no catalyst deactivation was observed, while for SO₂-O₂-TiO₂ and C₇H₁₆-SO₂-O₂-TiO₂ systems, the photocatalytic activity of used TiO₂ powder showed decreasing and eventually no activity after used consecutively. The reaction products such as sulfur trioxide or sulfuric acid adsorbed onto the surface of TiO₂ catalyst were poisoning species. Photocatalytic activity of the deactivated TiO₂ powder could be regenerated by sonicating treatment with water and methanol for the two systems, respectively.

Ni nanoparticles as electron-transfer mediators and NiSx as interfacial active sites for coordinative enhancement of H2-evolution performance of TiO2

The development of efficient photocatalytic H₂-evolution materials requires both rapid electron transfer and an effective interfacial catalysis reaction for H₂ production. In addition to the well-known noble metals, low-cost and earth-abundant non-noble metals can also act as electron-transfer mediators to modify photocatalysts. However, as almost all non-noble metals lack the interfacial catalytic active sites required for the H₂-evolution reaction, the enhancement of the photocatalytic performance is limited. Therefore, the development of new interfacial active sites on metal-modified photocatalysts is of considerable importance. In this study, to enhance the photocatalytic evolution of H₂ by Ni-modified TiO₂, the formation of NiS_x as interfacial active sites was promoted on the surface of Ni nanoparticles. Specifically, the co-modified TiO₂/Ni-NiS_x photocatalysts were prepared via a two-step process involving the photoinduced deposition of Ni on the TiO₂ surface and the subsequent formation of NiS_x on the Ni surface by a hydrothermal reaction method. It was found that the TiO₂/Ni-NiS_x photocatalysts exhibited enhanced photocatalytic H₂-evolution activity. In particular, TiO₂/Ni-NiS_x(30%) showed the highest photocatalytic rate (223.74 μmol h^?1), which was greater than those of TiO₂, TiO₂/Ni, and TiO₂/NiS_x by factors of 22.2, 8.0, and 2.2, respectively. The improved H₂-evolution performance of TiO₂/Ni-NiS_x could be attributed to the excellent synergistic effect of Ni and NiS_x, where Ni nanoparticles function as effective mediators to transfer electrons from the TiO₂ surface and NiS_x serves as interfacial active sites to capture H⁺ ions from solution and promote the interfacial H₂-evolution reaction. The synergistic effect of the non-noble metal cocatalyst and the interfacial active sites may provide new insights for the design of highly efficient photocatalytic materials.

SnO₂/TiO₂表现出最佳的光催化性能,UV和VUV条件下的甲苯降解率均达100%,CO₂生成速率（k₂）均为P25的3倍左右. 但由于UV光照矿化能力不足,中间产物易在催化剂表面累积. 随着UV光照时间的增加,SnO₂/TiO₂逐渐失活,20 h 后k₂由138.5 mg·m^-3·h^-1下降到76.1 mg·m^-3·h^-1. 利用VUV再生失活的SnO₂/TiO₂,过程中产生的·OH、O₂^-·、O（¹D）、O（³P）、O₃等活性物质可氧化吸附于催化剂活性位的难降解中间产物,使催化剂得以再生,12 h后k₂恢复到143.6 mg·m^-3·h^-1.
