具有稳定可见光催化活性TiO2薄膜的常温制备

采用溶胶-凝胶法，通过钛酸丁酯水解制备了具有锐钛矿-金红石-板钛矿混晶晶粒的TiO₂溶胶。以四磺酸酞菁铜(CuTsPc)为敏化剂，经水浴加热后获得具有可见光响应活性的TiO₂溶胶。使用该溶胶浸渍-提拉涂膜，在室温下晾干即可得到酞菁敏化的TiO₂薄膜(CuTsPc-TiO₂)。对敏化溶胶的制备条件及薄膜的性能进行了考察，并探讨了CuTsPc的负载机理。结果表明:延长水浴时间或提高TiO₂溶胶中的CuTsPc浓度有利于增大薄膜中CuTsPc的负载量。随着薄膜中CuTsPc量的增加，薄膜的可见光催化活性增强，但CuTsPc负载过多又会导致薄膜光催化活性降低。CuTsPc通过静电作用在TiO₂胶粒表面发生吸附，从而实现在薄膜中均匀、牢固的负载，保证了CuTsPc-TiO₂薄膜在循环使用过程中的稳定性。

Preparation of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanofibers immobilized on quartz substrate by electrospinning for photocatalytic degradation of ranitidine

The photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ nanofibers immobilized on quartz substrates was investigated by evaluating the decomposition of organic pollutants. TiO₂ nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning the Ti-precursor/polymer mixture solution, followed by hot-pressing for enhancing the adhesion of TiO₂-nanofiber films to the substrates. TiO₂ started to crystalize in the anatase form at 500 °C and reached the optimal photocatalytic anatase/rutile phase ratio of 70:30 at a calcination temperature of 600 °C. The TiO₂-nanofiber film was demonstrated to be an efficient photocatalyst by ranitidine decomposition under UV illumination and was proven to have a comparable photocatalytic activity with the well-known Degussa P25 nanoparticulate photocatalyst and excellent recyclability during 10 cycles of photocatalytic operation, indicating no loss of TiO₂ nanofibers during photocatalytic operations.     

Sonochemical synthesis of Fe–TiO2–SiC composite for degradation of rhodamine B under solar simulator

Fe–TiO₂–SiC composite with photocatalytic activity has been synthesized by a low cost sonochemical process in the presence of citric acid. The addition of citric acid during the sonochemical process allows the formation of a photocatalytic coating of Fe–TiO₂ onto silicon carbide. Experimental characterization results indicate that the composite was formed over all the surface of the silicon carbide (SiC) with an anatase crystalline TiO₂ phase with iron incorporation. The incorporation of iron narrows the band gap of TiO₂ which allow the absorbtion of light with a large wavelength. The obtained Fe–TiO₂–SiC composite exhibits good enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B under solar simulator irradiation in comparison with the commercial TiO₂–P25.     

Photoinduced charge property of Ag‐TiO2 films and its relationships with photocatalytic activity under visible illumination

In this article, TiO₂ films were synthesized by traditional spin coating method. To improve their photocatalytic activities, we deposited silver on these films by photodeposition. These films also were characterized by several testing techniques, such as X‐ray diffraction, ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflection spectrum, XPS, Raman spectroscopy (Raman), surface photovoltage spectroscopy, and SEM. The activity of different films was evaluated for degrading rhodamine B solution under visible illumination. The effects of AgNO₃ solution concentration on photoinduced charge property and photocatalytic activity were investigated. The results show that the Ag‐TiO₂ film immersed in 10^?3 mol·L^?1 AgNO₃ solution exhibits higher activity, which is in good agreement with the characterization results. The weaker the surface photovoltage spectroscopy signal, the higher the photocatalytic activity. Moreover, the activity of some films is higher than that of international Degussa P‐25 TiO₂ under visible illumination. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation and Characterization of Bismuth Doped TiO2 Thin Films

A series of Bismuth-doped titanium oxide (Bi-doped TiO₂) thin films on glass substrates have been prepared by sol-gel dip coating process. The prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD and XPS. The photocatlytic activity of the thin film catalysts was evaluated through the photodegradation of aqueous methyl orange under UV illumination. The experiments demonstrated that the Bi-doped TiO₂ prepared was anatase phase. The doped bismuth was in the 3⁺ oxidation state. The presence of Bi significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ films. At calcination temperature of 500°C, with doping concentration of 2 wt %, Bi-doped TiO₂ thin film showed the highest photocatalyic activity.     

Particulate sol–gel synthesis and optical and electrical properties of CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanocomposite

CeO₂/TiO₂ nanocomposite was synthesized by particulate sol–gel method. The X-ray diffractogram shows the presence of cubic CeO₂ and anatase TiO₂ in the composite. The high resolution scanning electron micrographs reveal the nanoparticulate nature of the prepared composite. The composite absorbs UV light and exhibits near-band gap emission corresponding to TiO₂ and deep level emission due to crystal defects. The Nyquist plot displays two semicircular arcs indicating the material heterogeneity. The physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized nanocomposite are in favour of its application as an ingredient of sunscreen formulations; under UV light the photocatalytic activity of CeO₂/TiO₂ composite, tested through the degradation of rhodamine B, is very much less than that by pristine anatase TiO₂. Reduced adsorption of moisture by the nanocomposite is a possible reason for the observed very low photocatalytic activity.     

溶胶浸渍模板法制备有序多孔氧化钛、氧化锌薄膜

采用溶胶浸渍模板法制备了有序多孔的氧化钛(TiO₂)和氧化锌(ZnO)薄膜。首先，在洁净的玻璃基片上通过浸渍-提拉工艺组装有序的聚苯乙烯微球(PS)阵列模板；然后再采用溶胶浸渍法将TiO₂和ZnO溶胶灌充到PS模板微球的间隙内；最后通过煅烧去除PS而得多孔薄膜。采用SEM观察了薄膜的表面形貌，并用XRD对薄膜的性能进行了表征。结果表明，溶胶的浓度对薄膜形貌有着显著的影响。经煅烧后，TiO₂和ZnO薄膜分别为锐钛矿和六方纤锌矿结构。此外，对模板的组装及溶胶的灌注过程进行了分析。     

一种简单的提高无定形TiO2光催化活性的方法及其在增透膜中的应用

通过简单的溶胶-凝胶法制备得到了小粒径的无定形TiO_2粒子,并将其沉积在多孔SiO_2膜层表面,多孔SiO_2膜层大的表面积有助于无定形TiO_2的良好分散,高度分散的无定形TiO_2粒子对膜层的光学性能影响较小,通过匹配合适的低折射率的SiO_2膜层,制备得到的SiO_2无定形TiO_2(SiO_2amorphous-TiO_2)膜层表现出和理想单层增透膜相似的光学性能。同时SiO_2amorphous-TiO_2的光催化性能显著提高,明显高于单层无定形TiO_2。而且SiO_2无定形TiO_2膜层甚至表现出比相应的负载锐钛矿型TiO_2的膜层,即SiO_2锐钛矿TiO_2,更高的光催化活性,这一反常现象的原因是,无定型TiO_2膜层表面丰富的羟基有助于减少空穴-电子对的复合,其相对疏松的结构能够加快光生电子-空穴的转移速率,而这些因素的影响超过了晶型结构对光催化活性的影响。同时SiO_2膜层的孔隙结构在浸渍-提拉镀制过程中,自发形成并不需要后续热处理过程,因此,整个SiO_2无定形TiO_2膜层的制备均可在室温下完成,能够实现其在不耐热基片上的应用。     

Preparation and properties of titania–apatite hybrid films

TiO₂–hydroxyapatite (HAp) hybrid films were prepared by laminating TiO₂ films with holes on the HAp film. We prepared transparent porous HAp film through spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD) method. The HAp possessed affinity against proteins. TiO₂ films were prepared using phase separation of alkoxide. The holes provided from this process serve as an adsorption field and photocatalytic reaction field for reactants. This work demonstrated that the TiO₂–HAp hybrid films produced by this process are candidates for photocatalytic decomposition of germs, viruses, and other biohazardous substances in the environment.
