Titania nanotubes (TNTs) prepared through the complex compound of gallic acid with titanium; examining photocatalytic degradation of the obtained TNTs

It was for the first time that the complex compound of gallic acid with titanium (IV) salt was used as a precursor to synthesize titania nanotubes. The study was separated into four main sections; (I) synthesizing the complex of titanium with gallic acid, (II) synthesizing anatase and rutile phases through thermal decomposing of the complex, (III) investigating the possibility to synthesize titania nanotubes from the rutile and anatase phases, and (IV) photocatalytic ability of all the nanoparticles.Different methods were applied to analysis, including X-ray diffraction, 1H NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, quantum-chemical modeling, Raman spectroscopy, thermal analysis, photoluminescence, BET analysis (to investigate the specific surface activity, total pore volume), EDX, electron microscopy (SEM), acceleration voltages, electrical conductivity, BJH method (to determine average pore diameter), and UV-Vis spectroscopy.We illustrated the possibility of the synthesis of the titania nanotubes from the anatase phase, while rutile phase was not turned to a tube shape.The photocatalytic ability of the obtained nanoparticles was tested by degrading bromophenol blue, as an organic pollutant, under weak light. TiO₂ in the form of nanotubes could reduce the concentration of bromophenol blue to 82%, as well as the rutile phase - to 70%, and finally anatase as nan-spheres to 36%.

Hierarchical‐Structured Anatase‐Titania/Cellulose Composite Sheet with High Photocatalytic Performance and Antibacterial Activity

Bulk hierarchical anatase‐titania/cellulose composite sheets were fabricated by subjecting an ultrathin titania gel film pre‐deposited filter paper to a solvo‐co‐hydrothermal treatment by using titanium butoxide as the precursor to grow anatase‐titania nanocrystallites on the cellulose nanofiber surfaces. The titanium butoxide specie is firstly absorbed onto the nanofibers of the cellulose substance through a solvothermal process, which was thereafter hydrolyzed and crystallized upon the subsequent hydrothermal treatment, leading to the formation of fine anatase‐titania nanoparticles with sizes of 2–5 nm uniformly anchored on the cellulose nanofibers. The resulting anatase‐titania/cellulose composite sheet shows a significant photocatalytic performance towards degradation of a methylene blue dye, and introduction of silver nanoparticles into the composite sheet yields an Ag‐NP/anatase‐titania/cellulose composite material possessing excellent antibacterial activity against both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria.     

Development of Composite Adsorbents of Carbon and Intercalated Clay for N2and O2Adsorption: A Preliminary Study

Composite adsorbents of carbon and alumina intercalated montmorillonite were prepared and characterized by adsorption of N₂and O₂at various temperatures. The effects of pyrolysis, temperature, heating rate, subsequent degassing, and doping of cations and anions were investigated. The adsorption capacities of the composite adsorbents developed at higher temperatures (0 and −79°C) are found to be larger than those of normal alumina pillared clays. The experimental results showed that the framework of these adsorbents is made of alumina particles and clay sheets while the pyrolyzed carbon distributes in the space of interlayers and interpillars. The pores between the carbon particles, clay sheets, and alumina pillars are very narrow with very strong adsorption forces, leading to enhanced adsorption capacities at 0 and −79°C. The composite adsorbents exhibit features similar to those of carbonaceous adsorbents. Their pore structures, adsorption capacities, and selectivities to oxygen can be tailored by a controlled degassing procedure. Meanwhile, ions can be doped into the adsorbents to modify their adsorption properties, as usually observed for oxide adsorbents like zeolite and pillared clays. Such flexibility in pore structure tailoring is a potential advantage of the composite adsorbents developed for their adsorption and separation applications.     

Preparation and characterization of perfluorosulfonic resin/titania hybrid transparent films

Preparation and characterization of perfluorosulfonic resin/titania organic-inorganic hybrid films were presented. The transparent hybrid films were prepared by hydrothermal treatment at low temperature of a mixed solution of tetrabutyl titanate and perfluorosulfonic resin with the help of acetylacetone. The characterization was carried out by SEM,XRD,FT-IR,UV-Vis and TGA. The results showed that the perfluorosulfonic resin/titania hybrid transparent films were composed of titania particles dispersed in the perfluorosulfonic resin matrix very well and the titania was of anatase phase. Its diameter de-creased with increasing weight ratio of titania to perfluorosulfonic resin.     

Visible light photocatalyst: iodine-doped mesoporous titania with a bicrystalline framework

Iodine-doped (I-doped) mesoporous titania with a bicrystalline (anatase and rutile) framework was synthesized by a two-step template hydrothermal synthesis route. I-doped titania with anatase structure was also synthesized without the use of a block copolymer as a template. The resultant titania samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, nitrogen adsorption, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. Both I-doped titania samples, with and without template, show much better photocatalytic activity than commercial P25 titania in the photodegradation of methylene blue under the irradiation of visible light (>420 nm) and UV-visible light. Furthermore, I-doped mesoporous titania with a bicrystalline framework exhibits better activity than I-doped titania with anatase structure. The effect of rutile phase in titania on the adsorptive capacity of water and surface hydroxyl, and photocatalytic activity was investigated in detail. The excellent performance of I-doped mesoporous titania under both visible light and UV-visible light can be attributed to the combined effects of bicrystalline framework, high crystallinity, large surface area, mesoporous structure, and high visible light absorption induced by I-doping.     

AlFe层柱粘土催化剂催化甲苯在水中的降解

The catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of toluene on two bentonite-based AlFe-pillared clays (PILCs) with different iron contents was investigated. The PILCs were obtained using bentonite clay from Bogovina, Serbia. The change in chemical and phase composition and textural properties of the starting clay and synthesized catalysts was monitored using X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrometry, and physisorption of nitrogen. The catalytic performance was examined using gas chromatography. The Na-exchange process lowered the (001) smectite basal plane spacing, but the clay retained its swelling properties, while the pillaring process increased it. The surface areas of both synthesized pillared clays increased to similar values although their Fe content was different. At 37 ℃, both catalysts show significant toluene degradation, with the one richer in Fe having higher efficiency. The leaching of the active cations during reaction was negligible, and the catalysts were stable. AlFe-pillared clay catalysts can be used in CWPO for the elimination of BTEX compounds from plant effluent streams.     

Tailoring micropore dimensions in pillared clays for enhanced gas adsorption

A systematic investigation has been undertaken for tailoring the micropore structure of the pillared clay. Besides the type of metal oxide (e.g. Al₂O₃ vs. ZrO₂) being used as the pillars, the important factors for determining the micropore structure are OH/Al ratio (for Al₂O₃-pillared clay), calcination temperature and the starting clay. The effect of the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the clay on the microporous structure (and consequently the adsorption properties) is reported for the first time. Two clays with widely different CECs are used: Arizona montmorillonite (CEC = 1.40 mequiv./g) and Wyoming montmorillonite (CEC = 0.76 mequiv./g). The interlayer spacings of the pillared clays from these different clays are essentially the same, since the interlayer spacing is controlled by the sizes of the oligomers that intercalate between the clay layers. However, the pillar density in the pillared clay is substantially higher with a high CEC in the starting clay, and is shown to be approximately proportional to the CEC. Consequently, the interpillar spacing is substantially lower resulting from the higher CEC. The CH₄ adsorption on the pillared clay is nearly doubled by the smaller interpillar spacing, due to the back-to-back overlapping potential in the micropores. The N₂ adsorption was not significantly influenced because of its low polarizability (hence low inductive potential). Increasing the calcination temperature of the Al₂O₃-pillared clay from 400°C to 600°C can decrease the interlayer spacing, but only by 1 (from 8.7 to 7.7 ). The CH₄/N₂ adsorption ratio of 2.35 is reached on the Al₂O₃-pillared Arizona clay that is calcined at 600°C. Finally, the surface and pore volume are influenced by the OH/Al ratio (or pH) during pillaring, since this ratio determines the size and charge of the oligomers. A peak surface area is reached at OH/Al = 2.2.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of phosphorous-doped TiO2 with high photocatalytic activity for methylene blue degradation

Phosphorous-doped titania was synthesized by a one step hydrothermal method. These samples exist in anatase phase with much higher crystallinity compared to those prepared by conventional calcination method. In addition, P-doping induced additional hydroxyl groups on surfaces and decreased the numbers of oxygen vacancies in the bulk. Therefore, the methylene blue (MB) degradation performance on the phosphorous-doped photocatalyst is much enhanced and superior to that of the commercial P25. The hydrothermal method proves to be very suitable for the synthesis of P-doped titania photocatalyst.

水热法合成多孔Ag_2S敏化二氧化钛催化剂及其可见光催化活性(英文)

Porous Ag2S sensitized TiO2 catalysts were synthesized by the hydrothermal process.The crystallization and porous structure of the Ag2S/TiO2 composite photocatalysts were investigated by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis,UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy,and N2 adsorption.The Ag2S/TiO2 composites were mainly composed of anatase TiO2 and acanthite Ag2S.The absorption edge wavelengths of TiO2 and the Ag2S/TiO2 composite prepared with 3 mmol Na2S.5H2O were 400 and 800 nm,respectively,that is,the absorption edge of the composite had a pronounced red shift.The photocatalytic activity under visible light was investigated by the degradation of methylene blue with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer.The photocatalytic activities under visible light of the Ag2S/TiO2 photocatalysts were much higher than that of TiO2.     

Structure and properties of polymer modified TiO2 pillared montmorillonite

With the aim of improving the microstructures and properties of TiO₂ pillared montmorillonite (MMT), a long-chain polymer (polyoxypropylenediamine, PPO-D 2000) was used as a template to synthesize composite pillared MMT. The materials were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometer, Fourier Raman (FT-Raman) spectrophotometer, thermo-gravimeter/differential thermogravimeter (TG/DSC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) methods. The results show that as compared to low-molecular weight surfactant, this polymer significantly expanded the interlayer spacing and thus more TiO₂ could be intercalated into MMT. The specific surface area of polymer/TiO₂ pillared MMT was increased by 13% with comparison to TiO₂ pillared MMT and rose to 241.52 m²/g. Both the pore diameter and volume are doubled, and thus the pore structure is optimized markedly. The investigation on the photo-catalytic degradation of methyl orange in aqueous solution show that the modulation of polymer molecules raise the adsorption content of montmorillonite and improve the photo-catalytic activity. Therefore, this process provides a novel alternative to design and prepare the advanced eco-catalytic materials with high adsorption capacity and photo-catalytic activity. __________ Translated from Huaxue Tongbao, 2007, 12: 936–941 [译自: 化学通报]

Controlled gas adsorption properties of various pillared clays

Microporous pillared clays (PILC) were prepared by the intercalation of montmorillonite with particles of titania (Ti-PILC), zirconia (Zr-PILC), alumina (Al-PILC), iron oxide (Fe-PILC) and mixed lanthania/alumina (LaAl-PILC). Nitrogen adsorption isotherms (77 K) and XRD data provided information on the porosity, surface area, micropore volume and interlayer distance of these samples. The surface area varied between 198 and 266 m²/g for Ti- and Fe-PILC, respectively. The titania pillared clay had also the highest micropore volume (0.142 cc/g) and interlayer spacing (16–20 Å), compared to the Zr-PILC, which had the smallest spacing between the layers (max, 4 Å). Despite this fact, Zr-PILC always showed a high adsorption capacity for gases such as N₂, O₂, Ar or CO₂, due to its high adsorption field in the very small micropores.From gas adsorption experiments on these various PILCs, it became clear that their adsorption properties depend on the pillars in three ways: (i) the pillar height, (ii) the distribution of the pillars between the clay layers and (iii) the nature of the pillaring species.The incorporation of other elements in the pillars leads to specific adsorption sites in the pores. This was demonstrated by the preparation of mixed Fe/Cr and Fe/Zr pillared clays. Compared to the parent Fe-PILC, the incorporation of chromium and zirconium in the iron oxide pillars had a positive influence on the adsorption capacity. Also the modification of a PILC with cations increases both capacity and selectivity for gases. This was confirmed by the increased adsorption of N₂, O₂ and CO₂ at 273 K on a Sr²⁺ exchanged Al-PILC.     

Pt-containing pillared clay catalysts for CO oxidation

Platinum has been introduced into pillared clay as a complex with the organosilicon amine N’-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]diethyltriamine, as a complex with the organosilicon amine and zirconyl chloride, as an ammine complex, and by impregnation with a chloroplatinic acid solution followed by hydrogen reduction. The catalytic activity of the Pt-containing clays in CO oxidation in excess hydrogen was also studied. The last procedure yields the most active Pt-containing pillared clay. Calcium has been introduced into pillared clay by ion exchange, and it was found that the catalytic activity of the clay decreases with increasing Ca content.     

Adsorption of carbon dioxide of 1-site and 3-site models in pillared clays: a Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulation

Adsorption behavior of carbon dioxide confined in pillared clays is analyzed by using constant pressure Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo (GEMC) method. In our simulation, 1-site and 3-site models are used to represent carbon dioxide. At the 1-site model, carbon dioxide is described as a Lennard-Jones (LJ) sphere, while at the 3-site model, carbon dioxide is modeled as a three-sites linear chain represented by EPM2 potential considering the quadrapolar effect. The potential model from Yi et al. for pillared clays is used to emphasize its quasi two-dimensional structure. Comparing the calculated results from the 1-site and the 3-site models at T=228.15 and 258.15 K, we observe that the adsorption amount from the two models is the same basically. However, the local density presents a significant difference, because the shoulder in the main peak near the wall from 3-site model can reflect the orientation of carbon dioxide. Accordingly, in the systematical investigation to explore the effect of porosity and pore width on the adsorption of carbon dioxide in pillared clays, the 3-site model was only used. We observe that for a narrow pore of H=1.02 nm, each isotherm shape displays type I curve, suggesting that it is not inflected by the porosity. However, for the larger pores of H=1.70 and H=2.38 nm, the increase of the porosity alters the shape of adsorption isotherms from a simple linear relation to the first order jump, indicating that the porosity is of very important factor to affect adsorption and phase behavior of fluids confined in pillared clays. The excess adsorptions of carbon dioxide at supercritical temperatures of T=323.15 and 348.15 K are also investigated. We find that the maximum exists for each excess isotherm, and the optimal pressure corresponding to the maximum increases with the pore width. However, the porosity has no significant effect on the optimal pressure.     

Adsorption and characteristics of base-treated pillared clays

The effect of base treatment on the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of pillared clays and their adsorption isotherms for Cu²⁺, Cr³⁺ and Pb²⁺ have been investigated. Results indicate that although the CEC of pillared clays are only about 15% of that of the parent clays, a large fraction of the native clays CEC may be recovered by treatment with base. The fraction of the CEC recovered depends upon the base strength, its concentration, and the temperature. Contrary to previous suggestions the mechanism of recovery is related to the destruction of pillars which is accompanied by the loss of surface area. It is possible under conditions specified to prepare these base treated pillared clays as a new class of useful, regenerable adsorbent for heavy metal adsorption from aqueous solution.
