Photostability Study of Nanoporous TiO2 Film Electrodes in Basic Solutions

The nanoporous TiO2 film electrodes have been prepared by a sol-gel deposition process The photostability of the electrodes in basic solutions has been studied. The results show that the photostability of the electrodes decreases rapidly in strong basic solutions with or without methanol. The reaction of holes to O^2- produces active O^2- atoms and the products O^2- atomsoxidize Ti^3 to Ti^4 on TiO2 film surface and subsurface. This results in the TiO2 film electrodes unstable in basic solutions both without methanol and with too low concentration.     

Diffusion properties of dye molecules in nanoporous TiO2 networks

The adsorption of ruthenium-dye molecules out of ethanol solution onto TiO2 particles of nanoporous TiO2 films was used to study the molecules' diffusion through these layers by means of optical absorption spectrometry. Dependent on pore size, porosity, and particle size, effective diffusion constants as low as D(eff) = 4 x 10(-9) cm2/s were deduced from the uptake curves by applying a simple model for combined diffusion and adsorption. These diffusion constants for diffusion through the nanoporous network are up to 3 orders of magnitude lower than in bulk ethanol and are discussed with respect to the properties of the nanoporous material.

TiO2 films loaded with silver nanoparticles: control of multicolor photochromic behavior

Ag-TiO(2) films exhibiting multicolor photochromism were prepared by photoelectrochemical reduction of Ag(+) to Ag nanoparticles in nanoporous TiO(2) films under UV light. Color of the Ag-TiO(2) film, initially brownish-gray, changes under a colored visible light to the color of the light and reverts to brownish-gray under UV light. Their chromogenic properties were improved by simultaneous irradiation for Ag deposition with UV and blue lights to suppress the formation of anisotropic Ag particles. Nonvolatilization of a color image was also achieved by removing Ag(+) that was generated during the irradiation with a colored light. Once nonvolatilized, the image can be reproduced by UV light, even after the image is discolored under white light. This new effect evidenced that nanopores in the TiO(2) film determine the resonance wavelengths of the Ag particles, as their molds. In addition, solvatochromic behavior of the Ag-TiO(2) film proved that nanospaces left around the Ag nanoparticles affect the resonance wavelengths of the Ag particles.     

Fabrication and photocatalytic characterizations of ordered nanoporous X-doped (X = N, C, S, Ru, Te, and Si) TiO2/Al2O3 films on ITO/glass

Transparent, ordered nanoporous TiO2/Al2O3 composite films doped with metal elements (Ru, Si, and Te) and nonmetal elements (N, C, and S) were fabricated by successive anodization and sol-gel process directly on glass substrates covered with a tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) film. The doping of ruthenium, nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur in TiO2 exhibited an enhanced effect on the absorbance, while the doping of silicon and tellurium showed little effect. Particularly, the N- and Ru-doped TiO2/Al2O3 films on ITO/glass developed an enhanced absorption red shift of 580 nm (-N) and 500 nm (-Ru). The nanoporous TiO2/Al2O3 composite film exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity in decomposing acetaldehyde under ultraviolet-light irradiation, with a value of 13 times in initial reaction rate or 7.8 times in quantum yield higher than a commercially available TiO2 material, Degussa P25. The ultraviolet-light photocatalytic activities of nanoporous TiO2/Al2O3 films were enhanced by the doping of nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur but slightly weakened by the doping of ruthenium, silicon, and tellurium. Particularly, the nanoporous N-doped TiO2/Al2O3 films exhibited effective photocatalytic activity on ultraviolet light decomposition of a highly toxic dioxin, HpCDD, and gave the highest decomposition rate of approximately 95% (via 7 h of irradiation) for the specimen with a dopant content of 1.7 wt % nitrogen.     

Investigation of the electric field in TiO2/FTO junctions used in dye-sensitized solar cells by photocurrent transients

We have investigated the electrostatic potential distribution in compact and nanoporous TiO2 films, deposited on conducting F-doped SnO2 substrate (FTO), which are used in dye-sensitized solar cells. The TiO2 films were immersed into aqueous electrolyte and excited from the FTO side by light pulses of a N2 laser while the current response was measured as a function of time. The measurements were carried out as a function of the pH value of the electrolyte and at different electrostatic potentials. For compact TiO2 films, the sign of the transient current at short response times changed when the applied electrostatic potential or the pH value was decreased. This was not observed for mesoporous TiO2 films directly deposited onto the FTO substrate without a compact TiO2 layer. We interpret the results in terms of a macroscopic electric field across the compact layer which is changed by the applied potential or the pH of the electrolyte. In contrast, measurements on mesoporous TiO2 films indicate that the contact region is mainly field-free, and we explain our results by a very sharp electrostatic potential drop within the first layer of particles at the TiO2/FTO interface.
