Effects of simultaneously doped and deposited Ag on the photocatalytic activity and surface states of TiO2

Ag-TiO2 catalysts with different Ag contents were prepared via a sol-gel method in the absence of light. Based on the characterizations of XRD, photoluminescence (PL), surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS), field-induced surface photovoltage spectroscopy (FISPS), and XPS as well as the evaluation of the photocatalytic activity for degrading rhodamine B(RhB) solutions, it was found that the Ag dopant promoted the phase transformation as well as had an inhibition effect on the growth of anatase crystallite. The PL and SPS intensities were decreased with increasing Ag content, indicating that the Ag dopant could effectively inhibit the recombination of the photoinduced electrons and holes. However, the active sites capturing the photoinduced electrons reduced, while the Ag content exceeded 5 mol %. At rather low Ag dopant concentrations, the migration and diffusion of Ag+ ions were predominant, while at rather high Ag dopant concentrations, the migration, diffusion, and reduction of Ag ions simultaneously occurred. The Ag-TiO2 photocatalysts with appropriate content of Ag (Ag species concentration is from about 3 to 5 mol %) possessed abundant electron traps so as to be favorable for the separation of the photoinduced electron-hole pairs, which could greatly enhance the activity of the photocatalysts. From the results of FISPS measurements, it could be found that the impurity bands and abundant surface states were introduced into the interfacial layer of TiO2 because of Ag simultaneously doping and depositing, which could improve the absorption capability for visible light of the photocatalysts.     

Improved photocatalytic activity of TiO_2 produced by an alcohothermal approach through in-situ decomposition of NH_4HCO_3

High crystallinity of TiO_2 was prepared by a modified alcohothermal method, in which titanium isopropoxide was used as the titania precursor, absolute ethanol as the reaction medium, and NH_4HCO_3 as the raw materials for release of water, ammonia and carbon dioxides via in-situ decomposition. The X-ray powder diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscope(TEM) measurements showed that water and ammonia from the in-situ decomposition of NH_4HCO_3 played an important role in conducting the size, shape, crystallinity and microstructure of TiO_2. The photoluminescence spectroscopy and photocurrent measurements indicated that enhanced crystallinity could hinder the recombination and promote the separation of electron-hole pairs in TiO_2, which contribute to the improvement of photocatalytic activity.Methyl orange photodegradation under UV light confirmed that high crystallinity of TiO_2 did present a high photocatalytic activity due to the effective separation of photoinduced charges.

Enhanced sunlight-driven photocatalytic performance of Bi-doped CdMoO4 benefited from efficient separation of photogenerated charge pairs

In this paper, to further boost the photocatalytic performance of CdMoO₄, Bi³⁺ was successfully doped into CdMoO₄ by a facile microwave hydrothermal method. The Bi-doped CdMoO₄ photocatalysts prepared were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron spin-resonance (ESR) and surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS). The results exhibit that doping Bi³⁺ into CdMoO₄ remarkably boosts the separation rate of photoinduced charge pairs and the specific surface area, decrease the crystal size, narrows the band gap of the CdMoO₄ and induces the binding energy shift of Cd, all these advantageous factors result in the promoted photocatalytic performance of CdMoO₄. Using rhodamine B (RhB) as model toxic pollutant, the photocatalytic activities of the photocatalysts were evaluated under a 500 W Xe lamp irradiation. When the molar ratio of Bi/Cd is 0.2%, Bi-CdMoO₄ prepared displays the best photocatalytic performance, the photocatalytic performance of the 0.2% sample is more than twice of that of the reference CdMoO₄.

Improved solar-driven photocatalytic performance of BiOI decorated TiO2 benefiting from the separation properties of photo-induced charge carriers

In this work, BiOI decorated TiO₂ photocatalysts were prepared in-situ by a facile hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy. The reactive radicals during the photocatalytic reaction were detected by scavenger experiments. BiOI/TiO₂ composites exhibit higher performance than the pure TiO₂ towards photocatalytic decolorization of methyl orange (MO) aqueous solution, when the molar ratio of Bi/Ti is 2%, the sample has the highest photocatalytic activity. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of BiOI/TiO₂ could be ascribed to the separation properties of photo-induced charge carriers and strong interaction between BiOI and TiO₂. Based on the observations, a Z-scheme charge separation mechanism was proposed.
