反应物转动激发对F+H2→HF+H体系反应动力学的影响

利用高分辨的交叉分子束装置研究了F+H₂(v=0,j=0, 1)反应在碰撞能1.27 kcal/mol下的动力学行为, 获得了产物HF(v′=1,2,3)转动态分辨的微分散射截面．当反应物H₂ 处于不同转动量子态j=0和1时,产物HF(v′=2)的散射角分布都主要表现为后向散射,但HF(v′=2)的转动态布居与反应物的转动量子态密切相关,转动激发的H₂分子将产生转动“更热”的HF(v′=2) 产物．另外,对于HF(v′=3)产物通道,由于slow-down机理的影响,当H₂布居于j=0时前向散射表现更显著．     

FePc与TiO2(110)及C60界面电子结构研究

基于C₆₀受体和有机分子给体的太阳能电池是目前非常重要的一个研究热点, 利用同步辐射真空紫外光电子能谱(SRUPS) 技术研究了酞菁铁(FePc)与TiO₂(110)及C₆₀的界面电子结构, 以及FePc与C₆₀分子混合薄膜的电子结构. SRUPS价带谱显示, FePc沉积在化学计量比与还原态两种不同的TiO₂(110)表面时, FePc分子的HOMO能级均随FePc厚度的变化发生了移动, 而在化学计量比的TiO₂(110)表面位移较大, 同时发生界面能带弯曲, 说明存在从有机层向衬底的电子转移. 在FePc/C₆₀和C₆₀/FePc界面形成过程中, FePc与C₆₀分子的最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)位移大小基本相同. 由界面能级排列发现, 在FePc与C₆₀的混合薄膜中, FePc分子的HOMO与C₆₀分子的最高占据分子轨道能级差较大, 这有利于提高器件开路电压, 改善器件性能.     

2-羟基吡啶S1态超快动力学

本文利用飞秒时间分辨的光电子成像技术研究了2-羟基吡啶分子在276.9∽250.0 nm波长范围的紫外光激发条件下S₁态的衰变动力学. 根据衰变动力学的泵浦波长相关性,提出了一种衰变机制. 在276.9 nm泵浦波长下,S₁态主要通过系间穿越到更低的三重态衰变. 在264.0 nm泵浦波长下,系间穿越到三重态和内转换到基态的通道同时存在. 在250.0 nm泵浦波长下,内转换到基态过程占据主导.     

甲醇在二氧化钛上的光化学性质与表面结构的相关性

通过双光子光电子的方法探测了TiO₂(011)-(2×1) 和TiO₂(110)-(1×1)表面的光催化氧化甲醇的性质. 在吸附了甲醇的二氧化钛(011)和(110)界面处探测到了一个费米能级以上2.5 eV的电子激发态,该电子激发态可作为测试二氧化钛界面还原性的探针使用. 利用此探针在甲醇/TiO₂(011)-(2×1)和甲醇/TiO₂(110)-(1×1)界面探测到了一个随光照时间的电子激发态信号变化,这一变化可以归于光催化生成的表面羟基对界面还原性的影响. 由此得出的光催化氧化甲醇的速率TiO₂(110)-(1×1)比TiO₂(011)-(2×1)快了大约11.4倍. 这可能由于表面原子结构排布的原因不同. 本工作不仅介绍了一个利用双光子光电子能谱探测到的甲醇/TiO₂界面电子结构的细节特征,还揭示了表面结构对二氧化钛光反应性质的重要影响.     

乙醇在TiO2(110)表面光催化解离的动力学和超快电子动态学 (cited: 2)

采用实时双光子光电子能谱和时间分辨双光子光电子能谱技术分别研究了乙醇在该表面光催化解离的动力学和超快电子动态学过程. 通过测量与乙醇光催化解离相关的电子激发态随时间的演化,发现这个反应满足分型动力学. 乙醇在还原性TiO₂(110)上的光催化解离比在氧化性表面快,这归结于缺陷的存在降低了反应能垒. 这样一个反应的加速过程很可能是与缺陷电子相关的. 通过干涉双脉冲相关的测量,得到了乙醇-TiO₂界面电子激发态的超快动态学. 与甲醇的情况类似,这个电子激发态的寿命为24 fs. 激发态的出现为TiO₂和它周围环境的电子转移提供了一个通道.     

甲醇分子在金红石TiO2(110)和锐钛矿TiO2(001)表面吸附和反应的活性位点

通过高分辨的扫描隧道显微术研究并比较了金红石型TiO₂(110)-(1×1)和锐钛矿型TiO₂(001)-(1×4)两种表面的活性位点． 在金红石型TiO₂(110)-(1×1)表面, 观察到氧空位缺陷是O₂和CO₂分子的活性吸附位点,而五配位的Ti原子是水分子和甲醇分子的光催化反应活性位点．在锐钛矿型TiO₂(001)-(1×4)表面,观察到完全氧化的表面,Ti原子更可能是六配位的,H₂O和O₂分子均不易在这些Ti原子上吸附．经还原后表面出现富Ti的缺陷位点, 这些缺陷位点对H₂O和O₂分子表现出明显的活性． 锐钛矿型TiO₂(001)-(1×4)表面的吸附和反应活性并不具有很高的活性,某种程度上其表现出的活性似乎低于金红石型TiO₂(110)-(1×1)表面．     

甲醇在TiO2(110)表面光催化氧化的波长相关性

用程序升温脱附谱的方法研究了甲醇在TiO₂(110)表面光催化氧化的波长相关性．对于不同波长的激发光,甲醇光催化解离的产物相似,都是在光照的过程中通过O-H键和C-H键的断裂形成甲醛,解离出的氢原子转移到相邻的两配位的桥氧原子(O_b)上形成O_bH．但是反应速率与激发光波长强烈相关．在360 nm光照下,甲醇的反应速率是400 nm光照时的4.8倍．这与以前使用时间分辨的飞秒激光吸收光谱测量的结果是一致的,他们认为近带隙激发和过带隙激发产生的电荷相比,前者的复合速率要远快于后者．     

拓扑材料γ-PtBi2的变温晶体结构研究

利用X射线衍射（XRD）、角分辨光电子能谱（ARPES）和能带计算的方法研究了不同温度下γ-PtBi₂的晶体结构。利用单晶XRD确定了室温下晶体的结构为P31m。为了确定低温时样品的晶体结构,用ARPES测得了样品的电子结构并与计算结果进行了对比,结果显示样品的结构与P31m相吻合,这表明在低温时样品依然保持P31m结构。进一步的高温XRD研究表明,在高温时样品的晶体结构仍为P31m结构。

Electronic exchanges between adsorbed Ni atoms and TiO2(1 1 0) surface evidenced by resonant photoemission

Nickel was deposited on stoichiometric TiO₂(1 1 0) surface in the 0.02–2.1 equivalent monolayer (eqML) range and analyzed by means of photoemission and resonant photoemission. In the case of very low coverage (lower than 0.1 eqML), deposited nickel reacts with the surface through an electronic transfer from nickel atoms towards titanium ions. This exchange caused the filling of unoccupied Ti3d states leading to the increase of a peak in the TiO₂ band gap. These states can be better characterized through resonant photoemission experiments at the Ti 3p → 3d absorption edge: for very low coverage, these states in the TiO₂ band gap have resonant behavior of Ti3d electrons rather than Ni3d ones, confirming the filling of Ti3d states and thus electron transfer between nickel and titanium. For coverage higher than 0.14 eqML, nickel peaks (both Ni3p core level and valence band) should be related to the presence of metallic nickel in small clusters.     

Defects at the TiO2(1 0 0) surface probed by resonant photoelectron diffraction

We report photoelectron diffraction (PED) experiments of weakly sub-stoichiometric TiO₂(1 0 0) rutile surfaces. Apart from standard core-level PED from the Ti-2p3/2 line, we have studied valence band PED from the defect induced Ti-3d states in the insulating band gap. For maximum yield, the latter were resonantly excited at the Ti-2p absorption edge. The PED patterns have been analyzed within the forward scattering approximation as well as by comparison with simulated PED patterns obtained in multiple scattering calculations. The analysis shows that the defect induced Ti-3d charge is mainly located on the second layer Ti atoms.     

STM imaging of a model surface of Ru(4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-bipyridine)2(NCS)2 dye-sensitized TiO2 photoelectrodes

A TiO₂(1 1 0)-(1 × 1) surface was prepared in an ultra-high vacuum, transported in laboratory air, and observed with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) operated in a vacuum of 10⁻⁴ Pa. Empty state images showed atomically flat terraces separated by single-height steps, on which 5-fold-coordinated surface Ti atoms were observed as spots arranged in a rectangular lattice. The Ru(4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-bipyridine)₂(NCS)₂ (N3) dye was adsorbed on the TiO₂ surface by immersing the TiO₂ wafer into an acetonitrile solution of the dye. In the empty state images, individual N3 molecules were observed as oval particles protruding by 0.6 nm from the TiO₂ surface. The oval shape elongated to the [1  0] directions was attributed to electron tunneling from tip to unoccupied states localized at the two carboxyl groups bound to the TiO₂ surface.     

Composite SiO2/TiO2 and amine polymer/TiO2 nanoparticles produced using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition

Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition was used to conformally coat commercial TiO₂ nanoparticles to create nanocomposite materials. Hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO)/O₂ plasmas were used to deposit SiO₂ or SiO_xC_yH_z films, depending on the oxidant concentration; and hexylamine (HexAm) plasmas were used to deposit amorphous amine-containing polymeric films on the TiO₂ nanoparticles. The composite materials were analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These analyses reveal film composition on the nanoparticles was virtually identical to that deposited on flat substrates and that the films deposit a conformal coating on the nanoparticles. The performance of the nanocomposite materials was evaluated using UV-vis spectroscopy to determine the dispersion characteristics of both SiO_x and HexAm coated TiO₂ materials. Notably, the coated materials stay suspended longer in distilled water than the uncoated materials for all deposited films.     

Effect of surface roughness of TiO2 films on short-circuit current density of photoelectrochemical cell of ITO/TiO2/PVC-LiClO4/graphite

This paper reports the effect of surface topography of titanium dioxide films on short-circuit current density of photoelectrochemical solar cell of ITO/TiO₂/PVC-LiCLO₄/graphite. The films were deposited onto ITO-covered glass substrate by screen-printing technique. The films were tempered at 300 °C, 350 °C, 400 °C, 450 °C and 500 °C for 30 min to burn out the organic parts and to achieve the films with porous structure. The surface roughness of the films were studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Current–voltage relationship of the devices were characterized in dark at room temperature and under illumination of 100 mW cm⁻² light from tungsten halogen lamp at 50 °C. The device utilising the TiO₂ film annealed at 400 °C produces the highest short-circuit current density and open-circuit voltage as it posses the smoothest surface topography with the electrolyte. The short-circuit current density and open-circuit voltage of the devices increase with the decreasing grain size of the TiO₂ films. The short-circuit current density and open-circuit voltage are 0.6 μA/cm² and 109 mV respectively.     

Visible-light-activated Ce-Si co-doped TiO2 photocatalyst

To enhance the visible photocatalytic activity and thermal stability of TiO₂, Ce-Si co-doped TiO₂ materials were synthesized through a nonaqueous method of which the purpose was to reduce the aggregation between TiO₂ particles. The obtained materials maintained anatase phase and large surface area of 103.3 m² g⁻¹ even after calcined at 800 °C. The XPS results also indicated that Si was weaved into the lattice of TiO₂, and Ce mainly existed as oxides on the surface of TiO₂ particles. The doped Si might enhance surface area and suppress transformation from anatase to rutile, while the doped Ce might cause visible absorption and inhibit crystallite growth during heat treatment. Evaluated by decomposing dye Rhodamine B, visible photocatalytic activity of Ce-Si co-doped TiO₂ was obviously higher than that of pure TiO₂ and reached the maximum at Ce and Si contents of 0.5 mol% and 10 mol%.
