铜负载量对LNT催化剂CuO-K2CO3/TiO2结构与性能的影响

采用连续浸渍法制备了一系列非贵金属稀燃NO_x阱(LNT)催化剂CuO-K₂CO₃/TiO₂,考察了Cu负载量对催化剂结构和NO_x储存还原性能的影响.发现8% (w) CuO-K₂CO₃/TiO₂催化剂的催化性能最佳,其对NO_x的储存量达到1.559 mmol·g^-1,对NO_x的还原效率高达99%,且在NO_x还原过程中无副产物N₂O产生.应用粉末X射线衍射(XRD),高分辩透射电子显微镜(HR-TEM), CO₂程序升温脱附(CO₂-TPD),扩展X射线吸收精细结构(EXAFS),氢气程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)和原位漫反射红外光谱(in-situ DRIFTS)等技术详细表征了催化剂的结构.结果表明,不同Cu负载量的催化剂中,铜物种均主要以CuO相存在.铜的负载量直接影响铜物种、钾物种的存在状态,高分散的CuO相与表面K₂CO₃之间存在较强相互作用,这种相互作用不仅有利于NO_x的储存,而且有利于增强催化剂的稳定性. in-situ DRIFTS结果表明, NO_x储存过程中产生的两个负峰(1436和1563 cm^-1)缘于碳酸盐的分解,这间接证明了碳酸盐作为储存介质参与到NO_x储存反应中. EXAFS结果表明,经过15个稀燃/富燃循环测试,催化剂中的CuO相仍保持稳定.基于以上表征结果,提出了CuO和K₂CO₃在催化剂表面的分布模型,并探讨了NO_x储存还原的可能机理.     

A New Strategy for Improving the Efficiency of Low-temperature Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx with CH4 via the Combination of Non-thermal Plasma and Ag2O/TiO2 Photocatalyst

In the present work, a remarkable combination of non-thermal plasma and photocatalyst was developed to widen the operating temperature window of selective catalytic reduction(SCR) of NO_x with CH₄, especially to improve the low-temperature removal efficiency of NO_x. It was shown that the operating temperature window was significantly widened. Among all the catalysts prepared, 1%Ag₂O/TiO₂ showed the highest catalytic activity for NO_x removal due to the utilization of near ultraviolet light. The conversion of NO_x to N₂ over the in-plasma 1%Ag₂O/TiO₂ photocatalyst at 60 and 300℃ could achieve 31.8% and 53.0%, respectively. The combination mode of plasma and catalyst affected NO_x removal efficiency greatly, the in-plasma catalysis outperformed the post-plasma catalytic mode remarkably, signifying the contribution of photocatalytic processes on the catalysts. Meanwhile, the characterizations of the catalyst demonstrated that the morphology and structure of the Ag₂O/TiO₂ catalyst were unchanged throughout the non-thermal plasma and photocatalytic processes, implying the superior stability of the catalyst.     

Photocatalytic conversion of NOx on AgCl/Al2O3 catalyst

The rate of NO conversion under UV illumination was evaluated over Ag/Al₂O₃ and AgCl/Al₂O₃ catalysts at room temperature. The AgCl/Al₂O₃ catalyst is highly active for the conversion of NO_x. The conversion is enhanced in the presence of O₂ and further enhanced when oxygen coexists with hydrocarbons. Diffuse reflectance spectra of AgCl/Al₂O₃ and Ag/Al₂O₃ show an absorption band at 250 nm, and a weak and broad band at 230 nm, respectively. The high photocatalytic NO_x conversion is achieved over the AgCl/Al₂O₃ catalyst. The conversion level of NO_x is maintained above 60% over 5 h in the presence of O₂ and hydrocarbons under UV-irradiation. The absorption band at 250 nm is ascribed to the band gap energy of crystallized AgCl particles on Al₂O₃. These results suggest that high photocatalytic NO_x conversion proceeds on crystallized AgCl particles formed on Al₂O₃.

Synthesis and study of Bi2Ti2O7/TiO2 composites as efficient visible-light-active photocatalysts in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI)

In this work, Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites were synthesized and studied as potential visible-light-activated photocatalysts in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI). Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites with tunable compositions were synthesized via a solvothermal-calcination two-step method, simply by changing the molar ratios of Bi(NO_3)_3·5H_2O to tetrabutyl titanate in the reactants. The compositions, structures and optical properties of the as-synthesized Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra. The photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites was tested in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI)under visible-light(λ420 nm) irradiation, and compared with that of TiO_2 nanoparticles. It was observed that the as-synthesized Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity than TiO_2 nanoparticles, and the most efficient composite(300 mg) can achieve the complete reduction of Cr(VI) in 300 mL of 50 mg/L K_2Cr_2O_7 aqueous solution under visible-light(λ420 nm)irradiation in 90 min.

Further, it was used for degradation of methyl orange(MO) under the illumination of visible-light(simulated).The results show that Pd/TiO2 with 2%(mass fraction) Pd exhibits the noticeable activity in photodegrading of MO.The detailed analysis shows that this enhancement is attributed to the reduction of the rate of electron-hole recombination and surface plasmon resonance of Pd. The high activity and good stability of the obtained Pd/TiO2 nano spheres make it a promising photocatalyst for solving the environmental pollution problems.

球形表面富锰MnxCo3−xO4−ƞ尖晶石型催化剂选择性催化还原NOx研究

采用共沉淀法制备了高比表面积的Mn_xCo_3−xO₄球形催化剂,研究了NH₃选择性催化还原NO_x性能。Mn-Co金属氧化物具有尖晶石结构,随着Co含量的增加,晶体结构由四方相转变为立方相。高浓度的表面活性氧物种和变价元素的强有效电子转移(Co³⁺ + Mn³⁺ ↔ Co²⁺ + Mn⁴⁺)有利于提高Mn_xCo_3−xO₄ (x = 1.0、1.5、2.0)尖晶型石催化剂的氧化还原能力,催化剂表面的Mn富集作用形成了氧缺陷结构和丰富的表面活性位点,进一步促进SCR脱硝反应,呈现出优异的催化性能。Co_tet(CoMn)_octO₄晶体结构中,Mn离子(Mn³⁺和Mn⁴⁺,以三价锰为主)和部分Co离子被配置到八面体中心,这些物种作为活性位点存在着较强的电子转移交互作用,该构型对促进低温脱硝活性和保护活性位点耐受SO₂毒害具有重要的意义。Mn-Co尖晶石表面的NH₃-SCR脱硝反应过程主要遵循Eley-Rideal反应机理,即吸附态NH₃与气态NO (或NO₂)的反应路径。随着反应温度的增加,反应生成的NH₄NO₃中间体很可能转化为NH₄NO₂物种,进而分解为N₂,提高了催化剂的氮气选择性。     

Tunable Synthesis of Core-shell α-Fe2O3/TiO2 Composite Nanoparticles and Their Visible-light Photocatalytic Activity

Uniform α-Fe₂O₃/amorphous TiO₂ core-shell nanocomposites were prepared via a hydrolysis method and α-Fe₂O₃/anatase TiO₂ core-shell nanocomposites were obtained via a post-calcination process. The structure and morphology of the products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Amorphous TiO₂ nanoparticles with diameters of ten to several tens nanometer were formed on the surface of α-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles and the coverage density of the secondary TiO₂ nanoparticles in the composite can be controlled by varying the concentration of Ti(BuO)₄ in the ethanol solution. The visible-light photocatalytic properties of different products towards Rhodamine B(RhB) were investigated. The results show that the α-Fe₂O₃/amorphous TiO₂ exhibits a good photocatalytic property owing to the extension of the light response range to visible light and the efficient separation of photogenerated electrons and holes between α-Fe₂O₃ and amorphous TiO₂.

Synthesis of Gd-N Codoped Porous TiO2 Photocatalyst and Its Enhanced Photocatalytic Activities

Visible-light-active Gd-N codoped porous TiO₂(Gd-N-TiO₂) photocatalyst was fabricated by an evapora-tion-induced self-assembly route using surfactants as structure-directed agents. As-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) method, and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. The results indicated that synergistic reaction occurred when codoping with Gd³⁺ and N, which enhanced the light absorption properties of TiO₂. Irregular worm-like particles with wide interparticle spaces were clearly observed by TEM. The average particle size of Gd-N-TiO₂ decreased to ca. 8 nm because co-doping inhibited the particles growth significantly. Thus, the specific surface area of Gd-N-TiO₂(198.7 m²/g) was higher than that of Degussa P25 TiO₂(50 m²/g). Gd-N-TiO₂ exhibited a high photocatalytic activity toward methyl orange degradation under UV-Vis or visible-light irradiation. The Gd-N-TiO₂ catalyst also presented a stable performance without losing activity after four successive photocatalytic experiments. The facile synthesis and excellent activity of Gd-N-TiO₂ indicated its great potential as industrial catalysts for wastewater treatment.

Bactericidal mode of titanium dioxide photocatalysis

When exposed to near-UV light, titanium dioxide (TiO₂) exhibits a strong bactericidal activity. However, the killing mechanism(s) underlying the TiO₂ photocatalytic reaction is not yet well understood. The aim of the present study is to investigate the cellular damage sites and their contribution to cell death. A sensitive approach using o-nitrophenol β- galactopyranosideside (ONPG) as the probe and Escherichia coli as model cells has been developed. This approach is used to illustrate damages to both the cell envelope and intracellular components caused by TiO₂ photocatalytic reaction. Treatment of E. coli with TiO₂ and near-UV light resulted in an immediate increase in permeability to small molecules such as ONPG, and the leakage of large molecules such as β- galactosidase after 20 min. Kinetic data showed that cell wall damage took place in less than 20 min, followed by a progressive damage of cytoplasmic membrane and intracellular components. The results from the ONPG assay correlated well with the loss of cell viability. Cell wall damage followed by cytoplasmic membrane damage leading to a direct intracellular attack has therefore been proposed as the sequence of events when microorganisms undergo TiO₂ photocatalytic attack. It has been found that smaller TiO₂ particles cause quicker intracellular damage. Evidence has been obtained that indicated that the TiO₂ photocatalytic reaction results in continued bactericidal activity after the UV illumination terminates.     

棒状金属有机框架结构PCN-222(Cu)/TiO2复合材料的制备及其高效光催化CO2还原性能

The photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ has attracted considerable attention owing to the dual suppression of environmental pollution and energy shortage. The technology uses solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into hydrocarbon fuel, which is of great significance for achieving the carbon cycle. The development of low-cost photocatalytic materials is critical to achieving efficient solar energy to fuels conversion. One of the most commonly employed photocatalysts is TiO₂. However, it suffers from broad band gap as well as the recombination of photo-excited holes and electron. Hence, in this work, we report the photochemical reduction of CO₂ using rod-like PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composites as photocatalyst through a simple hydrothermal method, in which TiO₂ nanoparticles are anchored at the interface of the SiC rod PCN-222(Cu). Multiple characterization techniques were used to analyze the structure, morphology, and properties of the PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composite. A series of characterizations including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, photo-electrochemical, and photoluminescence (PL) confirm the successful preparation of PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composites. SEM reveals that the TiO₂ nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the surface of the rod-shaped PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂. XRD results show that PCN-222(Cu) and PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composite photocatalysts with good crystal structure were successfully synthesized. According to the DRS results, the prepared PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composite samples exhibit characteristic absorption peaks of metalloporphyrins in the visible region. PL spectroscopy, transient photocurrent response, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy further confirm that the rod-like PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ samples have high electron-hole pair separation efficiency. By controlling the mass ratio of PCN-222(Cu) and TiO₂, the photocatalytic CO₂ reduction performance test shows that the 10% PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composite achieves optimal catalytic performance, yielding 13.24 μmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹ CO and 1.73 μmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹ CH₄, respectively. All the rod-like PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composites exhibit better photocatalytic CO₂ activity than that of TiO₂ nanoparticles or PCN-222(Cu) under the illumination of xenon lamps, which is attributed to charge transport and electron-hole separation capabilities. After three test cycles, the catalytic activity of PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ photocatalyst was virtually unchanged. The reduction yield of the catalyst increased for 8 h under continuous illumination, indicating that PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composites have acceptable stability. The estimation of the band gap curve and the Mote-Schottky curve test show that the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital position of PCN-222(Cu) is more negative than the TiO₂ of the conduction band; hence, a possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism of the PCN-222(Cu)/TiO₂ composite is proposed. This study provides a new strategy for the integration of metal-organic frameworks and oxide semiconductors to construct efficient photocatalytic systems.     

NiO/TiO2异质结构纳米管阵列膜对不锈钢的光生阴极保护及其储能性能

Photocatalytic reaction of neat alcohols by metal-loaded titanium(IV) oxide particles

The photocatalytic reaction (excitation wavelength, greater than 300 nm) of neat alcohols (ethanol or 2-propanol) by metal-loaded titanium(IV) oxide (TiO₂) was conducted under argon at room temperature. The dehydrogenation products hydrogen (H₂) and acetaldehyde (or acetone in the case of 2-propanol) were found in the absence of additives. The corresponding acetals, ethers, and alkanes were obtained by the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl). The measurement of the product yields during the post-irradiation dark reaction in the presence of photocatalyst (TiO₂) loaded with platinum(IV) oxide (PtO₂) revealed that the production of ether and ethane and the regeneration of ethanol proceed by the hydrogenation of acetal over loaded metal, presumably via a hemiacetal intermediate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed that the loaded PtO₂ is reduced to platinum metal during the course of the photocatalytic reaction. For the production of ether from HCl-acidified ethanol, Pd-loaded catalysts, especially prepared by precipitation—reduction, exhibit the highest activity of several metal-loaded TiO₂ catalysts. From XRD and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies of Pd-loaded TiO₂ particles, it was shown that the smaller the size of the Pd particles, the higher the selectivity for ether production from the acidified ethanol suspension. The application of this photocatalytic O-alkylation to the synthesis of cyclic ethers was demonstrated.     

Enhanced Visible-light Photocatalytic Activity of g-C3N4/Nitrogen-doped Graphene Quantum Dots/TiO2 Ternary Heterojunctions for Ciprofloxacin Degradation with Narrow Band Gap and High Charge Carrier Mobility

Limited visible-light absorption and high recombination rate of photogenerated charges are two main drawbacks in g-C₃N₄-based photocatalysts. To solve these problems, g-C₃N₄/nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs)/TiO₂ ternary heterojunctions were facilely prepared via a one-step calcining method. The morphology, structure, optical and electrochemical properties of g-C₃N₄/NGQDs/TiO₂ were characterized and explored. The optimal g-C₃N₄/NGQDs/TiO₂ composite exhibits enhanced photocatalytic degradation performance of ciprofloxacin (CIP) compared with the as-prepared g-C₃N₄, TiO₂(P25) and g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ heterojunction under visible light irradiation. The apparent rate constant of the composite is around 6.43, 4.03 and 2.30 times higher than those of g-C₃N₄, TiO₂ and g-C₃N₄/TiO₂, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic efficiency should be mainly attributed to the improvement of light absorption and charge separation and transfer efficiency, originating from the narrow band gap and high charge carrier mobility. The active species trapping experiments results showed that the h⁺ and ^·O₂^- were the main active species in the degradation process. A possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism of the g-C₃N₄/NGQDs/TiO₂ composite for the enhanced degradation of CIP under visible light irradiation was also proposed.
