单分散Au、TiO_2和Au/TiO_2量子点的制备及催化性能研究

本文通过一步水热法分别制备了Au、TiO2和Au/TiO2量子点。采用TEM和XRD测试手段对形貌、尺寸分布及组成进行了表征。结果表明,所得的Au、TiO2和Au/TiO2分别为近似球形,棒状和球形棒状交错的分散良好,没有团聚的纳米粒子,其尺寸峰值分别在3 nm、5 nm和4 nm左右,晶粒分布窄,为单分散量子点。Au量子点为面心立方结构,TiO2为典型锐钛矿结构,而Au/TiO2为兼有Au和TiO2两种结构。CO被催化为CO2的研究表明Au和Au/TiO2量子点对其均具有较高催化活性,且催化活性随着温度升高而增强。Au/TiO2复合物量子点的催化性能好于Au量子点,60℃便可以将CO完全氧化为CO2。TiO2和Au/TiO2量子点在甲基橙的降解反应中均具有较高的活性,在紫外光照射下均可在较短时间内将甲基橙完全降解,但负载型的Au/TiO2量子点降解效果更好。     

介孔TiO2晶须担载Au的热稳定性（英文）

以二钛酸钾晶须为前驱体,通过固相烧结工艺制备了介孔TiO2晶须,然后使用沉积沉淀法将Au纳米颗粒担载于其上,并采用低温N2吸附-脱附、X射线衍射及透射电镜等技术对催化剂的形貌和结构进行了表征,以NaBH4还原对硝基苯酚(PNP)为探针反应,评价了催化剂的活性及稳定性.结果表明,500°C热处理前后,介孔TiO2负载的Au纳米颗粒的平均粒径变化不大,且催化PNP还原活性得到了很好的保持.这主要与介孔TiO2晶须独特的双晶构型及介孔结构有关.

团簇Au/CeO2的制备及其催化CO氧化反应构效关系的研究

负载型Au催化剂因其在诸多反应过程中的高催化活性而备受研究者关注.然而针对负载型催化剂中Au物种结构的有效调控,以及催化过程中真实构-效关系的探索一直充满了挑战.用CeO₂为Au物种担载基底,通过简单煅烧处理引起的CeO₂结构变化,进而实现Au/CeO₂之间界面作用力的调控.此研究发现Au纳米颗粒中Au⁰物种具备更为高效的催化室温CO氧化活性,结合多种原位表征分析,其室温条件下催化转化效率更依赖于CO吸附能力.而相比于单原子Au₁和纳米Au颗粒,所制备的团簇Au/CeO₂催化剂在较高温度(>50℃)展现出优异的催化CO氧化反应性能.随着温度升高,催化剂表界面O参与的MvK反应路径更易发生,因此具有更多表界面活性O物种和Au^δ+位点的团簇Au/CeO₂催化剂展现出最为优异的催化CO氧化性能.这些发现为高效负载型Au催化剂的制备提供了新思路并深化了对Au/CeO₂催化作用机制的理解.     

以Au(PPh3)(NO3)为前体制备的Au/13X结构及其CO催化氧化性能

分别以金的有机配合物Au(PPh₃)(NO₃)和无机化合物HAuCl₄为前驱体, 采用常规浸渍法分别制备了Au/13X-Org和Au/13X-Ino, 并以后者作为对照. 采用N₂-吸附/脱附、SEM-EDS、XRD和XPS等技术对所制样品的织构、晶体结构和价态进行了表征, 并研究了所制样品对CO的催化氧化性能. N₂-吸附/脱附、SEM-EDS和XRD结果表明, 对于Au/13X-Org样品, Au 较均匀地分布在13X载体上, 而Au/13X-Ino样品, Au 聚集地分布在13X载体上. 通过XRD和SEM测定表明Au/13X-Ino上金粒子(平均粒径≈26.6 nm)明显大于Au/13X-Org上金粒子(平均粒径＜5 nm). CO催化氧化结果表明, Au/13X-Org催化性能明显优于Au/13X-Ino, Au/13X-Org在低温25 ℃时CO转化30%, 150 ℃完全转化; 而Au/13X-Ino在低温无活性, CO完全转化温度高于400 ℃. 对于这种“惰性”13X载体负载Au活性的差别可能归因于金粒子的大小和前驱体中有无氯物种两方面的原因. XPS结果表明, 在Au/13X-Org和Au/13X-Ino催化剂上催化氧化的活性中心为金属态Au⁰.     

高热稳定性纳米Au/TiO2催化剂的制备与表征

 采用三嵌段共聚物聚乙醚-聚丙醚-聚乙醚EO20PO70EO20 (P123)为有机模板剂合成了介孔TiO2载体,用沉积-沉淀法制得Au/TiO2催化剂. 运用N2 吸附-脱附、 X射线衍射、 X射线光电子能谱和高分辨电镜技术对催化剂的结构与形貌进行了表征. 采用P123模板剂合成的TiO2具有较均匀的介孔结构,孔径集中在6.1 nm附近,负载金后,其介孔结构保持良好,但孔径下降至5.4 nm. 400 ℃焙烧后,介孔TiO2负载的Au催化剂中Au主要以金属态存在. 负载在三种TiO2载体(介孔TiO2、溶胶-凝胶法合成的TiO2和工业TiO2)上的Au晶粒大小和分散度差异较大,其中介孔TiO2载体更有利于金的分散,以该载体制备的催化剂400 ℃焙烧后金的晶粒尺寸在1～5 nm范围内,催化剂显示了很好的CO氧化活性和抗热稳定性,即使在420 ℃焙烧,其室温下CO的转化率也在90%以上. 而溶胶-凝胶法制备的TiO2和工业TiO2负载的纳米金催化剂中,金晶粒尺寸约为10 nm,催化剂的CO氧化活性和抗热稳定性较差.     

金属载体强相互作用增强Au/TiO2催化剂在3-硝基苯乙烯选择性加氢反应的活性

自Haruta与Hutchings于上世纪八十年代末发现金纳米催化剂优异的反应活性以来,科研人员对金催化的应用领域进行了广泛而深入地研究.对金催化科学和应用领域的研究一直在进行.大量的研究表明,金催化剂在各种选择性氧化反应中具有优异的催化性能(高活性和高选择性).然而,在催化加氢反应中,尽管金催化剂相比于铂族金属显示出优越的选择性,但是由于金催化剂选择性加氢反应的活性较差,使其在选择性催化加氢反应中的应用受到了极大的限制.研究表明,金催化剂较弱的活化氢气能力是其催化加氢反应活性低的主要原因.研究发现,氢气活化的活性中心可能是界面、负价金、低配位的金原子等.金催化剂具有明显的载体效应,金属-载体之间的相互作用能够显著地改变金催化剂的催化性能.Tauster等研究发现,铂族金属与还原性载体之间存在强相互作用,能够引发载体包覆金属表面,并且使得电子从载体向金属迁移,导致金属带负电.受金属-载体强相互作用(SMSI)效应的启发,本文探究了Au/TiO2催化剂中SMSI对金催化剂加氢性能的影响.在H2或O2气氛下高温焙烧Au/TiO2,获得一系列金催化剂(Au/TiO2-TA,T为焙烧温度(oC):300、400、500和600;A为气氛:H2或O2).对比在3-硝基苯乙烯(3-NS)选择性加氢反应中的活性发现,Au/TiO2-500H的TOF值是Au/TiO2-500O的3.3倍;动力学测试表明,Au/TiO2-500H和Au/TiO2-500O的反应表观活化能分别为79.5和105.1 kJ/mol.这表明两类催化剂催化活性中心的结构存在差异.X射线光电子能谱测试结果表明,Au/TiO2-H样品中Au带部分负电,而Au/TiO2-O中Au显示为金属态.HAADF-STEM和EELS显示,Au/TiO2-H中Au NPs的表面有TiOx物种,增加了Au-TiO2的界面.EPR结果表明,Au/TiO2-H中存在表面Ti3+物种,而Au/TiO2-O样品中则没有.为确认加氢反应的活性中心到底是界面还是负价金物种,本文探究了不同温度下氢气处理的Au/TiO2的结构与性能的关系,发现Au/TiO2-300H/400H/500H催化剂都显示出较好的催化3-NS加氢活性,而Au/TiO2-600H虽然具有更多的负价金物种,但是3-NS选择性加氢反应的活性反而降低,因此,负价金不是活性中心.这是因为不同温度处理的Au/TiO2-H样品中,SMSI的强弱不同,在300、400、500 oC下,SMSI能够增加Au-TiO2的界面长度,从而增强了3-NS加氢反应的活性;而温度达到600 oC,SMSI效应太强,Au NPs被包覆更密实,导致Au/TiO2-600H的3-NS选择性加氢反应的活性下降.密度泛函理论计算表明,Au/TiO2-H样品具有更低的H2解离活化能以及氢转移活化能.氢氘交换反应也进一步验证了SMSI有利于H2的活化.     

铁的化学形态对Au/Fe-O催化剂甲醛催化氧化性能的影响

采用溶胶沉积法、共沉淀法制备了负载型Au/Fe-O催化剂,运用X-射线粉末衍射(XRD)、透射电镜(TEM)、电感耦合等离子原子发射光谱(ICP-AES),比表面和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)技术对其进行了表征,考察了Au/Fe-O催化剂对甲醛的催化氧化活性.金负载量相同的条件下,溶胶沉积法制备的样品甲醛催化氧化活性好于共沉淀法制备的样品.实验结果表明:六面体的FeOOH载体担载了较多活性组分纳米金,是影响甲醛催化氧化活性的主要原因.     

La2O3助剂对Au/TiO2催化氧化CO性能的影响

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了TiO2以及La2O3-TiO2载体, 再用沉积沉淀法制备Au/TiO2和Au/La2O3-TiO2催化剂, 并对催化剂的CO氧化反应活性进行测试. 结果表明, La2O3助剂可以显著提高催化剂催化氧化CO的活性. X射线衍射(XRD)、程序升温脱附(TPD)、N2吸附-脱附(BET)表征结果表明, La2O3助剂不仅提高了催化剂比表面积, 抑制了TiO2晶粒尺寸的长大, 并且增强了TiO2的晶格应变, 在O2气氛吸附过程中主要在TiO2表面形成O-物种. 原位傅立叶变换红外(FT-IR)结果进一步表明, La的掺杂不仅提高了吸附在Au活性位CO的氧化速率, 还使TiO2表面形成第二种活性位, 从而显著提高了催化活性.     

α-MnO2负载纳米Au催化剂低温催化氧化CO和苯的性能

以尿素为沉淀剂用沉积-沉淀法制备了α-MnO2负载Au催化剂xAu/α-MnO2(x=0-7(对应的Au负载量(质量分数)分别为0-7%)),使用X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、N2-吸附/脱附、透射电镜(TEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和H2-程序升温还原(H2-TPR)等技术对所制样品进行了表征,并测定其对CO和苯的催化氧化性能.XRD结果表明,负载Au对α-MnO2载体结构影响不大,随Au含量的增加,Au颗粒明显增大.N2-吸附/脱附和TEM结果表明,Au的加入对xAu/α-MnO2的比表面积、孔容和孔径等结构性能影响较小,表明Au分布在α-MnO2载体表面,未阻塞其孔道.XPS结果表明,随着Au负载量的增加,xAu/α-MnO2中的O2-/(O22-或O-)、Mn4+/Mn3+和Au3+/Au0的摩尔比在增加,表明其晶格氧、Mn4+和Au3+的浓度在增加.由于贵金属的溢氢作用,Au明显促进xAu/α-MnO2氧化还原能力,其中3Au/α-MnO2具有最高的氧化还原性.负载Au明显影响xAu/α-MnO2样品的催化活性,xAu/α-MnO2的催化性能与Au的分散性、氧化还原性能及表面氧物种的种类密切相关,其中3Au/α-MnO2显示出最佳活性,其催化氧化CO的T90=80°C,苯的T90=200°C.     

Formation and characterization of high surface area thermally stabilized titania/silica composite materials via hydrolysis of titanium(IV) tetra-isopropoxide in sols of spherical silica particles

A direct synthetic route leading to titania particles dispersed on nonporous spherical silica particles has been investigated; 5, 10, and 20% (w/w) titania/silica sols mixtures were achieved via hydrolyzation of titanium tetra-isopropxide solution in the mother liquor of a freshly prepared sol of spherical silica particles (St?ber particles). Titania/silica materials were produced by subsequent drying and calcination of the xerogels so obtained for 3 h at 400 and 600 degrees C. The materials were investigated by means of thermal analyses (TGA and DSC), FT-IR, N(2) gas adsorption-desorption, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In spite of the low surface area (13.1 m(2)/g) of the pure spherical silica particles calcined at 400 degrees C, high surface area and mesoporous texture titania/silica materials were obtained (e.g., S(BET) ca. 293 m(2)/g for the 10% titania/silica calcined at 400 degrees C). Moreover, the materials were shown to be amorphous toward XRD up to 600 degrees C, while reasonable surface areas were preserved. It has been concluded that dispersion of titania particles onto the surface of the nonporous spherical silica particles increase their roughness, therefore leading to composite materials of less firm packing and mesoporosity.     

Photocatalytic Activity of N-doped TiO2 Photocatalysts Prepared from the Molecular Precursor (NH4)2TiO(C2O4)2

We developed a novel approach for the preparation of N-doped TiO₂ photocatalysts by calcining ammonium titanium oxalate at different temperatures. The structures of N-TiO₂ were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope. The N-doped TiO₂ photocatalysts calcined below 700 oC are the pure anatase phase but that calcined at 700 oC is a mixture of anatase and rutile phases. The doped N locates at the interstitial site of TiO₂ which leads to the narrowing of bad gap of pure anatase N-TiO₂. Among all photocatalysts, N-TiO₂ photocatalysts calcined at 600 and 400 oC exhibit the best performance in the photodegradation of methyl orange under the UV light and all-wavelength light illuminations, respectively; however, because of the perfect crystallinity and the existence of anatase-rutile phase junctions, N-TiO₂ photocatalyst calcined at 700 oC exhibits the highest specific photodegradation rate, i.e., the highest quantum yield, under both the UV light and all-wavelength light illuminations.     

Photocatalytic activity of a hierarchically macro/mesoporous titania

Light-harvesting macroporous channels have been successfully incorporated into a mesoporous TiO(2) framework to increase its photocatalytic activity. This bimodal porous material was characterized by X-ray diffractometry in both low-angle and wide-angle ranges, N(2) adsorption-desorption analysis, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, FT-IR, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Ethylene photodegradation in gas-phase medium was employed as a probe reaction to evaluate the photocatalytic reactivity of the catalysts. The results reveal that sintering temperature significantly affects the structural stability and photocatalytic activity of titania. The catalyst which calcined at 350 degrees C possessed an intact macro/mesoporous structure and showed photocatalytic reactivity about 60% higher than that of commercial P25 titania. When the sample was calcined at 500 degrees C, the macroporous structure was retained but the mesoporous structure was partly destroyed. Further heating at temperatures above 600 degrees C destroyed both macro- and mesoporous structures, accompanied by a loss in photocatalytic activity. The high photocatalytic performance of the intact macro/mesoporous TiO(2) may be explained by the existence of macrochannels that increase photoabsorption efficiency and allow efficient diffusion of gaseous molecules.     

Preparation of High-Orderly TiO2 Nanotubes in Organic Solution and Characterization of C-doped TiO2

"High-orderly TiO2 nanotube arrays were fabricated by anodic oxidation of pure titanium substrate in organic electrolyte containing fluoride. Different morphological nanotubes of titania were obtained through controlling the different anodization voltages and durations. The length of the longest nanotubes was approximately 60 1m and the length-to-width aspect ratio was about 600. The nanotube layers were then annealed at different temperatures (450, 550, and 650 oC) in air for 2 h. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-Ray (EDS) and UV-Vis spectrometer. The XRD results demonstrated that the as-anodized samples were amorphous and the structure changed to antanse and rutile when the samples were annealed at higher temperature. The EDS microanalysis indicated the presence of carbon in the TiO2 nanotubes. The result of degradation of methylene blue showed clearly that the photocatalytic activity of C-doped TiO2 nanotubes increased by 10%."     

CoCr2O4型催化剂上二氯甲烷的高效催化燃烧

采用共沉淀法在不同焙烧温度下制备一系列尖晶石型CoCr2 O4催化剂并测试其对CH2 Cl2催化燃烧性能．制备的催化剂都具有高的反应活性,并发现其性能受到表面酸性和氧化还原性的协同作用．经600℃焙烧的CoCr2 O4-6催化剂因其具有较高的表面酸量（0．46 mmol·gcat－1）和较高表面吸附氧浓度（Oads／Olat＝0．55）,因此活性最佳,其T50为201℃,T90为278℃．由XRD等结构表征可知该催化剂含CoCr2 O4和 Cr2 O3两相,但CoCr2 O4尖晶石是该催化剂的主要活性组分．     

Direct synthesis of mesoporous titania particles having a crystalline wall

In this study, we demonstrate a novel method for preparing crystallized mesoporous titania by using a low-temperature synthesis technique in the presence of cationic surfactant. XRD patterns showed that the titania particles obtained had both hexagonal structure and a wall with anatase crystalline structure. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation and corresponding electron diffraction pattern confirmed that the calcined particles are crystallized mesoporous titania.     

Phase formation in mixed TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-ZrO<Subscript>2</Subscript> oxides prepared by sol-gel method

Pure titania, zirconia, and mixed oxides (3–37 mol.% of ZrO₂) are prepared using the sol-gel method and calcined at different temperatures. The calcined samples are characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption porosimetry. Measurements reveal a thermal stability of the titania anatase phase that slightly increases in the presence of 3–13 mol.% of zirconia. Practically, the titania anatase-rutile phase transformation is hindered during the temperature increase above 700°C. The mixed oxide with 37 mol.% of ZrO₂ treated at 550°C shows a new single amorphous phase with a surface area of the nanoparticles double with respect to the other crystalline samples and the formed srilankite structure (at 700°C). The anatase phase is not observed in the sample containing 37 mol.% of ZrO₂. The treatment at 700°C causes the formation of the srilankite (Ti_0.63Zr_0.37O_x) phase.     

Effect of Nanoparticle Size on Gas-sensing Properties of Tin Dioxide Sensors

Sn(OH)₄ was prepared by the conventional solution precipitate method, followed by supercritical CO₂ drying. The resultant Sn(OH)₄ was divided into three aliquots and calcined at 400, 600 and 800℃, respectively, thus SnO₂ nanoparticles with average crystallite sizes of 5, 10 and 25 nm were obtained. Furthermore, three SnO₂ thick film gas sensors(denoted as sensors S-400, S-600 and S-800) were fabricated from the above SnO₂ nanoparticles. The adhesion of sensing materials on the surface of alumina tube is good. Compared to the sensors S-600 and S-800, sensor S-400 showed a much higher sensitivity to 1000 μL/L ethanol. On the other hand, sensor S-800 showed a much lower intrinsic resistance and improved selectivity to ethanol than sensors S-400 and S-600. X-Ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and selective area electron diffraction(SAED) measurements were used to characterize the SnO₂ nanoparticles calcined at different temperatures. The differences in the gas sensing performance of these sensors were analyzed on the basis of scanning electron microscopy(SEM).     

Synthesis and photoluminescence of titania nanoparticle arrays templated by block-copolymer thin films.

High-density arrays of titania nanoparticles were prepared using a polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymer (PS-b-PEO) as a template and a titanium tetraisopropoxide based sol-gel precursor as titania source via a spin-coating method. The hydrophilic titania sol-gel precursor was selectively incorporated into hydrophilic PEO domains of PS-b-PEO and form titania nanoparticle arrays, due to a microphase separation between the PS block and the sol-gel/PEO phase. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and scanning probe microscopy (SPM) images showed that the uniformity and long-range order of the titania/PEO domains improved with increasing sol-gel precursor amount. Grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) results indicate that the ordered structures exist over large length scales. Titania nanocrystal arrays of anatase modification were obtained by calcination at 600 degrees C for 4 h. After calcination, separated particles were observed for low and medium amounts of sol-gel precursors. Films with higher precursor amounts showed wormlike structures due to the aggregation between neighboring particles. Removal of the polymer matrix via UV treatment leads to highly ordered arrays of amorphous titania while retaining the domain size and interparticle distance initially present in the hybrid films. Photoluminescence (PL) properties were investigated for samples before and after calcination. The PL intensity increases with the increasing amount of sol-gel precursor. Bands at 412 nm were ascribed to self-trapped exitons and bands at 461 and 502 nm to oxygen vacancies, respectively. Uncalcined or UV-treated samples also showed PL properties similar to calcined samples, indicating that the local environment of the titanium atoms is similar to the environment of the crystalline anatase modification.     

High surface area sol–gel alumina–titania nanocatalyst

Alumina–titania mixed oxide nanocatalysts with molar ratios = 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2, 1:5 have been synthesized by adopting a hybrid sol–gel route using boehmite sol as the precursor for alumina and titanium isopropoxide as the precursor for titania. The thermal properties, XRD phase analysis, specific surface area, adsorption isotherms and pore size details along with temperature programmed desorption of ammonia are presented. A specific surface area as high as 291 m²/g is observed for 1:5 Al₂O₃/TiO₂ composition calcined at 400 °C, but the same composition when calcined at 1,000 °C, resulted in a surface area of 4 m²/g, while 1:0.5 composition shows a specific surface area of 41 m²/g at 1,000 °C. Temperature programmed desorption (of ammonia) results show more acidic nature for the titania rich mixed oxide compositions. Transmission electron microscopy of low and high titania content samples calcined at 400 °C, shows homogeneous distribution of phases in the nano range. In the mixed oxide, the particle size ranges between 10–20 nm depending on titania content. The detailed porosity data analysis contributes very much in designing alumina–titania mixed oxide nanocatalysts.
