Synthesis of efficient N-containing TiO2 photocatalysts with high anatase thermal stability and the effects of the nitrogen residue on the photoinduced charge separation

Efficient N-containing TiO(2) nanoparticles with high anatase thermal stability were synthesized via a hexamethylenetetramine (HMT)-modified sol-hydrothermal process. The results showed that modification with proper amounts of HMT is effective in increasing the onset temperature of the phase transformation of TiO(2) from anatase to rutile. The enhancement of the anatase thermal stability of the modified TiO(2) was attributed to ammonia produced slowly by hydrolysis of the HMT molecules in the sol-hydrothermal process and, additionally, to the residual nitrogen species after the thermal treatment at high temperatures, as indicated by the XPS examination. Compared with the unmodified TiO(2), the modified TiO(2) obtained by a thermal treatment at high temperatures exhibited good photocatalytic performance under UV light and was found to even be superior to the commercially available P25-TiO(2). It was suggested that the residual N species (Ti-O-N), formed after the thermal treatment at high temperatures, along with the mixed phase composition, large surface area and the increase in the thermal stability, were responsible for the enhanced photocatalytic activity of modified TiO(2). It was demonstrated, by means of the surface photovoltage responses of the modified TiO(2) in different atmospheres along with the aid of an outer electric field, that the residual N species could effectively capture the photoinduced holes, which was favorable for the effective separation of the photoinduced charges. This work provides a feasible route to fabricate high-performance TiO(2)-based functional nanomaterials with high anatase thermal stability.     

Photoassisted NO reduction with NH3 over TiO2 photocatalyst

Highly selective ammonia synthesis from nitrate with photocatalytically generated hydrogen on CuPd/TiO2

Body-centered-cubic type CuPd nanoalloys were synthesized by a chemical reduction method. Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and nitrate reduction were simultaneously examined over CuPd nanoalloys deposited on TiO(2) (CuPd/TiO(2)). The efficiency of hydrogen evolution over CuPd/TiO(2) was better than that over Pd/TiO(2). As for nitrate reduction, ammonia was selectively (78%) produced with hydrogen generated photocatalytically over CuPd/TiO(2). The continuous generation of nascent hydrogen atoms on the surface of the CuPd nanoalloy, where Cu and Pd are homogeneously mixed, led to the high selectivity for ammonia.

采用研磨煅烧法,以硫脲(TU)作为氮源和硫源,H2TiO3(HT)为TiO2的前驱体,制备了不同TU/HT比例的N,S共掺杂TiO2光催化剂(NS/TiO2);利用X射线衍射仪、透射电镜、X射线光电子能谱仪、拉曼光谱仪、紫外-可见吸收光谱仪等分析了NS/TiO2的晶体结构、显微形貌、典型元素的化学状态以及光谱性质;利用BET法测定了NS/TiO2的比表面积,同时测定了其在可见光照下催化降解罗丹明B的活性.结果表明,当TU/HT质量比为0.5时,NS/TiO2的光催化活性最佳,光照70min时的罗丹明B降解率为44.4%.氮元素以NH3形式吸附在TiO2表面,硫元素以S6+形式存在,部分S6+取代Ti 4+的位置.与此同时N,S共掺杂使得TiO2的禁带宽度减小,可见光催化活性提高.     

Flow-injection determination of inorganic forms of nitrogen by gas diffusion and conductimetry

A flow-injection—conductimetric method was applied to the determination of ammonia, nitrate and nitrite at concentrations down to 5, 20 and 20 ng ml^?1, respectively. Ammonia was determined by merging the injected sample with an alkaline solution (NaOHEDTA) and passing the mixture through a diffusion cell. The ammonia released was collected by a flowing stream of deionized water that passed through a conductance flow cell. Nitrate and nitrite concentrations were determined after reduction to ammonia in alkaline medium using a column filled with metallic zinc. The ammonia produced was then measured as described above. About 60 samples per hour can be processed with a relative standard deviation of about 1%. Satisfactory agreement was observed between results for ammonia in samples of natural water and nitrate in tap and mineral water determined by the proposed method and by standard spectrophotometric procedures. Speciation can be achieved by adding sulphanilic acid to remove nitrite from the sample and determining the ammonia without the use of the column.

WO3对MnOx/TiO2低温脱硝SCR催化剂的改性研究

以醋酸锰为前驱物通过浸渍法制备了MnO_x/TiO₂催化剂,用WO₃对载体进行改性制得一系列MnO_x-WO₃/ TiO₂催化剂,采用X射线衍射（XRD）、比表面积测定(BET)、拉曼光谱(LRS)、原位红外(FT-IR)光谱等表征技术进行相关的微观表征分析,同时在模拟氨气选择性催化还原NO_x（NH₃-SCR）的反应条件下对催化剂的脱硝反应活性进行了考察。研究表明,添加5%的WO₃拓展了载体的比表面积,提高了催化剂的抗热性,增加了催化剂表面的Brnsted酸位,拓宽其选择性催化还原脱硝活性温度窗口,对MnO_x/TiO₂催化剂有很好的改性作用;先钨后锰的负载顺序优于先锰后钨;随着温度的升高,化学催化反应速率提高,催化剂表面NH₃吸附峰呈减弱或消失趋势,故催化剂脱硝活性温度曲线呈中间高、两头低。     

氨法选择性还原氮氧化物 V2O5/TiO2-PILC催化剂的抗硫性能

选择性催化还原(SCR)是目前去除氮氧化物最有效的方法之一. V2O5/TiO2催化剂被广泛应用于氨法选择性还原氮氧化物(NH3-SCR)反应,但该催化剂存在工作温度高(300–400oC)及 SO2氧化率高引起设备腐蚀和管路堵塞等问题,开发低温 SCR催化剂具有重要意义.过渡金属氧化物(如 Fe2O3, MnOx和 CuO等)催化剂用于低温SCR先后见诸文献报道,但这些催化剂在 SO2和 H2O存在下易失活.近年来柱撑黏土(PILC)引起科学家广泛关注, Yang等首次将 V2O5/TiO2-PILC催化剂应用于 NH3-SCR反应,发现其催化活性高于传统 V2O5/TiO2催化剂.柱撑黏土基催化剂在 NH3-SCR反应中也显示出良好抗硫性能,但 V2O5/TiO2-PILC催化剂的抗硫机理至今尚未见深入研究.因此我们制备了一系列 V2O5/TiO2-PILC催化剂,采用原位漫反射红外等方法详细研究了其抗硫性能较好的原因.
　　首先采用离子交换法制备出 TiO2-PILC载体,之后采用浸渍法制备了不同钒含量(质量分数x/%=0,3,4,5)的xV2O5/TiO2-PILC催化剂.同时,制备了传统 V2O5/TiO2和 V2O5-MoO3/TiO2催化剂作为对比.活性评价结果显示,4V/TiO2-PILC催化剂具有最高的催化活性,其催化性能与传统钒钛催化剂相当.在160oC时, NO转化率可达80%以上.同时,4V/TiO2-PILC催化剂还具有较宽的反应温度窗口,在260–500oC范围内, NO转化率保持在90%以上.向反应体系中加入0.05% SO2和10% H2O后,在低温(160oC以下)时所有催化剂的反应活性都有一定提高,可能是由于 SO2的加入提高了催化剂的表面酸性.继续升高温度,4V/TiO2和4V6Mo/TiO2催化剂活性均明显下降,而4V/TiO2-PILC催化剂的活性则未出现明显下降.原位漫反射红外光谱结果显示, SO2在三种催化剂表面的吸附以表面硫酸盐或亚硫酸盐物种以及离子态 SO42–物种形式存在,而在4V/TiO2-PILC催化剂表面离子态 SO42–物种的量最少. X射线光电子能谱及 O2程序升温脱附结果显示,在4V/TiO2-PILC催化剂上,表面吸附氧(Oads)的量最少.综合上述分析可以得出,在 SO2气氛下,离子态 SO42–物种在 SCR催化剂表面的累积可能是导致其失活的主要原因,而离子态 SO42–物种的形成可能与催化剂表面吸附氧的量有关.     

Photocatalytic degradation of high ammonia concentration water solutions by TiO2

Recent studies reported the use of suspended TiO2 powder as photo catalyst in the degradation process of several organic and inorganic substances in water, like chlorinated hydrocarbons, alkyl- and alkanoloammines and ammonia. In order to evaluate the possibility of using this method for a further removal of ammonia from wastewater after a biological nitrification/denitrification treatment, a kinetic study of photo oxidation over TiO2 of NH3/NH4 in the high concentration range of 26 - 214 mg/I, has been carried out. Effects of pH, TiO2, ammonium and dissolved O2 concentration on the degradation efficiency and reaction products distribution (NO2-, NO3- e N2) were studied. The results have shown that, at a catalyst concentration of 0.012% (p/v), the photo catalytic oxidation of ammonia can be described with the Langumuir- Hinshelwood kinetic model, as reported by several authors.

Ammonia Extraction method was used to identify the surface oxide species interarting with support surface in different strength and it was found that the proportions of oxides that can not be extracted by ammonia extraction are different for MoO3, NiO and ZnO which are supported on rutile TiO2.     

N掺杂TiO_2光催化剂的微结构与吸光特性研究

以紫外可见漫反射光谱(UV-VIS-DRS)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)分析和研究了四种方法制备的N掺杂TiO2光催化剂的结构,即水解法(N/TiO2-H)、氨热还原法(N/TiO2-A)、机械化学法(N/TiO2-M)和尿素热处理法(N/TiO2-T)等.结果表明,N/TiO2-H和N/TiO2-T两种催化剂在490 nm处有吸收带边,可见光激发途径是掺杂的N以填隙方式形成的杂质能级吸收电子发生的跃迁引起的;而N/TiO2-A和N/TiO2-M两种催化剂在整个可见光区域内具有可见光吸收,其对可见光的激发途径是掺杂N和氧空缺共同作用的结果.理论计算的N杂质能级位于价带上0.75 eV,与实验观察到的吸收带边结果十分吻合.XPS结果表明,几种催化剂的N1 s结合能位置都在399 eV附近,显示为填隙掺杂的N原子.填隙掺杂的N/TiO2,其Ti原子的2p结合能与未掺杂的TiO2相比增加了+0.3-+0.6 eV,而O1s电子的结合能增加了+0.2-+0.5eV,这是因为填隙的N原子夺取Ti和O的电子,Ti和O原子周围的电子密度降低了.电子能谱和吸光特性的研究都表明,掺杂的机理是在TiO2晶格内形成N原子的填隙.

Preparation of nanoporous MgO-coated TiO2 nanoparticles and their application to the electrode of dye-sensitized solar cells

Sol-gel-derived Mg(OH)(2) gel was coated onto TiO(2) nanoparticles, and the subsequent thermal topotactic decomposition of the gel formed a highly nanoporous MgO crystalline coating. The specific surface area of the electrode that was prepared from the core-shell-structured TiO(2) nanoparticles significantly increased compared with that of the uncoated TiO(2) electrode. The increase in the specific surface area of the MgO-coated TiO(2) electrode was attributed to the highly nanoporous MgO coating layer that resulted from the topotactic reaction. Dye adsorption behavior and solar cell performance were significantly enhanced by employing the MgO-coated TiO(2) electrode. Optimized coating of a MgO layer on TiO(2) nanoparticles enhanced the energy conversion efficiency as much as 45% compared to that of the uncoated TiO(2) electrode. This indicates that controlling the extrinsic parameters such as the specific surface area is very important to improve the energy conversion efficiency of TiO(2)-based solar cells.
