Photogreying, the change in brightness on UV irradiation in the absence of oxygen, of TiO2 nanoparticulate dispersions is shown to depend on the nature of the liquid, consistent with a surface reaction. Measurements
on a series of TiO2 particles (mainly 75×10 nm) dispersed in, e.g., alkyl benzoate correlate well with those on the same TiO2’s dispersed in a second liquid (e.g. propan-2-ol). Photogreying in propan-2-ol is paralleled by photocatalytic-oxidation
activity, indicating a common origin – UV-generation of charge carriers. Further, photogreying parallels Ti3+ formation. Hence, although appearance and the visible spectra of photogreyed particles both differ from those of Ti3+ in ≤10 nm colloidal TiO2, we suggest that photogreying is caused by capture of UV excited electrons to form Ti3+. Surface treatment reduces photogreying, and we speculate that differences between uncoated samples reflect differences in
the number of potentially reducible Ti’s. 相似文献

Anatase TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared by a simple sol-gel method at moderate temperature. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy revealed the exclusive presence of anatase TiO2 without impurities such as rutile or brookite TiO2. Thermogravimetric analysis confirmed the formation of TiO2 at about 400 °C. Particle size of about 20 nm observed by transmission electron microscopy matches well with the dimension of crystallites calculated from XRD. The electrochemical tests of the sol-gel-prepared anatase TiO2 show promising results as electrode for lithium-ion batteries with a stable specific capacity of 174 mAh g?1 after 30 cycles at C/10 rate. The results show that improvement of the electrochemical properties of TiO2 to reach the performance required for use as an electrode for lithium-ion batteries requires not only nanosized porous particles but also a morphology that prevents the self-aggregation of the particles during cycling. 相似文献

Structural properties of amorphous TiO2 spherical nanoparticles have
been studied in models with different sizes of 2 nm, 3 nm, 4 nm and 5 nm under
non-periodic boundary conditions. We use the pairwise interatomic potentials
proposed by Matsui and Akaogi. Models have been obtained by cooling from the
melt via molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Structural properties of an
amorphous nanoparticle obtained at 350 K have been analyzed in detail
through the partial radial distribution functions (PRDFs), coordination
number distributions, bond-angle distributions and interatomic distances.
Moreover, we show the radial density profile in a nanoparticle. Calculations
show that size effects on structure of a model are significant and that if
the size is larger than 3 nm, amorphous TiO2 nanoparticles have a
distorted octahedral network structure with the mean coordination number
ZTi-O ≈6.0 and ZO-Ti ≈3.0 like those observed in the
bulk. Surface structure and surface energy of nanoparticles have been
obtained and presented. 相似文献

Anatase is the low-temperature (300–550 °C) crystalline polymorph of TiO2 and it transforms to rutile upon heating. For applications utilizing the photocatalytic properties of nanoscale anatase at
elevated temperatures (over 600 °C) the issue of phase stabilisation is of major interest. In this study, binary TiO2/SiO2 particles were synthesized by a flame aerosol process with TiCl4 and SiCl4 as precursors. The theoretical Si/Ti ratio was varied in the range of 0.7–1.3 mol/mol. The synthesized TiO2/SiO2 samples were heat treated at 900 and 1,000 °C for 3 h to determine the thermostability of anatase. Pyrogenic TiO2 P25 (from Evonik/Degussa, Germany) widely applied as photocatalyst was used as non-thermostabilized reference material for
comparison of photocatalytic activity of powders. Both the non-calcinated and calcinated powders were characterized by means
of XRD, TEM and BET. Photocatalytic activity was examined with dichloroacetic acid (DCA) chosen as a model compound. It was
found that SiO2 stabilized the material retarding the collapse of catalyst surface area during calcination. The weighted anatase content
of 85% remains completely unchanged even after calcination at 1,000 °C. The presence of SiO2 layer/bridge as spacer between TiO2 particles freezes the grain growth: the average crystallite size increased negligibly from 17 to 18 nm even during the calcination
at 1,000 °C. Due to the stabilizing effect of SiO2 the titania nanoparticles calcinated at 900 and 1,000 °C show significant photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the increase
in photocatalytic activity with calcination temperature indicates that the titania surface becomes more accessible either
due to intensified cracking of the SiO2 layer or due to enhanced transport of SiO2 into the necks thus releasing additional titania surface. 相似文献

Industrially manufactured titanium dioxide nanoparticles have been successfully radiolabelled with 48V by irradiation with a cyclotron-generated proton beam. Centrifugation tests showed that the 48V radiolabels were stably bound within the nanoparticle structure in an aqueous medium, while X-ray diffraction indicated
that no major structural modifications to the nanoparticles resulted from the proton irradiation. In vitro tests of the uptake
of cold and radiolabelled nanoparticles using the human cell line Calu-3 showed no significant difference in the uptake between
both batches of nanoparticles. The uptake was quantified by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and high resolution
γ-ray spectrometry for cold and radiolabelled nanoparticles, respectively. These preliminary results indicate that alterations
to the nanoparticles’ properties introduced by proton bombardment can be controlled to a sufficient extent that their further
use as radiotracers for biological investigations can be envisaged and elaborated. 相似文献

The thin-film photocatalysts TiO2/MoO3 and TiO2/MoO3:V2O5 obtained by a combination of sol–gel and sintering techniques were studied using the photooxidation of probing dyes, EPR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and electron microscopy. It was shown that due to charge accumulation caused by UV irradiation, these photocatalysts retain their oxidative activity and ability for self-sterilization in the dark for a long time after irradiation was terminated (up to 5 h for TiO2/MoO3:V2O5). 相似文献

Two sets of samples of SnO2/In2O3/TiO2 system have been fabricated with different concentrations of component materials. In the first set TiO2 with rutile structure was used, while in the second set it has the structure of anatase. Thin films (up to 50 nm) of obtained
mixtures were deposited. Their sensitivity and selectivity with respect to methane (CH4) were studied. Nanostructure on the
basis of 70%SnO2 — 10%In2O3 — 20%TiO2(anatase) exhibits sufficient sensitivity to methane. 相似文献

Minimizing of the boundary friction coefficient is critical for engine efficiency improvement. It is known that the tribological behavior has a major role in controlling the performance of automotive engines in terms of the fuel consumption. The purpose of this research is an experimental study to minimize the boundary friction coefficient via nano-lubricant additives. The tribological characteristics of Al2O3 and TiO2 nano-lubricants were evaluated under reciprocating test conditions to simulate a piston ring/cylinder liner interface in automotive engines. The nanoparticles were suspended in a commercially available lubricant in a concentration of 0.25 wt.% to formulate the nano-lubricants. The Al2O3 and TiO2 nanoparticles had sizes of 8–12 and 10 nm, respectively. The experimental results have shown that the boundary friction coefficient reduced by 35–51% near the top and bottom dead center of the stroke (TDC and BDC) for the Al2O3 and TiO2 nano-lubricants, respectively. The anti-wear mechanism was generated via the formation of protective films on the worn surfaces of the ring and liner. These results will be a promising approach for improving fuel economy in automotive. 相似文献

In this work, amorphous and crystalline TiO2 films were synthesized by the sol–gel process at room temperature. The TiO2 films were doped with gold nanoparticles. The films were spin-coated on glass wafers. The crystalline samples were annealed
at 100°C for 30 minutes and sintered at 520°C for 2 h. All films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission
electronic microscopy and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. Two crystalline phases, anatase and rutile, were formed in the matrix
TiO2 and TiO2/Au. An absorption peak was located at 570 nm (amorphous) and 645 nm (anatase). Photoconductivity studies were performed on
these films. The experimental data were fitted with straight lines at darkness and under illumination at 515 nm and 645 nm.
This indicates an ohmic behavior. Crystalline TiO2/Au films are more photoconductive than the amorphous ones. 相似文献

Measurements of proton nuclear spin-spin and spin-lattice relaxation times are applied for determining the concentration of
solid-phase nanoparticles in nanofluids. This approach is tested for metal oxides SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3 and metal-carbon nanoparticles of 3d-metals Fe and Cu. It is shown that the sensitivity of the method for determining concentrations
of 3d-metals is much higher than for oxides (by 2–4 orders of magnitude). It is revealed that measurement of the proton spin-spin
relaxation time allows one to determine the concentration of Cu nanoparticles to 0.0001 mg/ml and that of Fe nanoparticles
to 0.00001 mg/ml. 相似文献

The current paper presents results of a quantum-chemical study of the surface structure of nanoparticles of both rutile and anatase crystallographic modifications. Different stages of the surface relaxation are discussed. Water adsorption is considered. The calculations were performed in the spd-basis by using semi-empirical quantum-chemical codes, both sequential and parallel. The results are mainly addressed to the study of the interface formed by titania nanoparticles and a set of carboxylated species, namely, benzoic, bi-isonicotinic acids as well as tris-(2,2′-dcbipyridine) Fe(II) complex placed on the surface of either rutile or anatase polymorphs.This revised version was published online in August 2005 with a corrected issue number. 相似文献

Anatase/rutile mixed-phase titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysts in the form of nanostructured powders with different primary particle size, specific surface area, and rutile content were produced from the gas-phase by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) starting from an organic solution containing titanium (IV) isopropoxide as Ti precursor. Flame spray-produced TiO2 powders were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and BET measurements. As-prepared powders were mainly composed of anatase crystallites with size ranging from 7 to 15 nm according to the synthesis conditions. TiO2 powders were embedded in a multilayered fluoropolymeric matrix to immobilize the nanoparticles into freestanding photocatalytic membranes. The photocatalytic activity of the TiO2-embedded membranes toward the abatement of hydrosoluble organic pollutants was evaluated employing the photodegradation of rhodamine B in aqueous solution as test reaction. The photoabatement rate of best performing membranes significantly overcomes that of membranes produced by the same method and incorporating commercial P25-TiO2. 相似文献

Bare Ag nanoparticles (~10 nm) and Ag nanoparticles (1–20 nm) on the surfaces of larger TiOx nanoparticles were prepared by laser ablation of microparticle aerosols (LAMA). The behaviors of the nanoparticles during high temperature annealing were then studied with ex situ and in situ transmission electron microscopy. For the ex situ heating experiments, Ag and Ag-on-TiOx NPs were collected onto gold TEM grids and subjected to annealing treatments at 500 °C in argon, vacuum, and air. At this temperature, bare Ag NPs on carbon TEM supports coarsened rapidly in both air and argon atmospheres. In contrast, Ag-on-TiOx NPs that were heated to 500 °C in flowing argon or in a vacuum did not coarsen significantly and were remarkably stable. Ag-on-TiOx NPs that were heated to 500 °C in air, however, behaved quite differently. The TiOx crystallized upon heating and a significant loss of Ag were observed from the surfaces of the TiOx, likely due to sublimation. These results demonstrate that the surface defect structure and chemistry of the oxide support strongly influence the thermal stability of Ag NPs produced by LAMA. 相似文献

The 225Ac radioisotope exhibits very attractive nuclear properties for application in radionuclide therapy. Unfortunately, the major challenge for radioconjugates labelled with 225Ac is that traditional chelating moieties are unable to sequester the radioactive daughters in the bioconjugate which is critical to minimize toxicity to healthy, non-targeted tissues. In the present work, we propose to apply TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) as carrier for 225Ac and its decay products. The surface of TiO2 nanoparticles with 25 nm diameter was modified with Substance P (5-11), a peptide fragment which targets NK1 receptors on the glioma cells, through the silan-PEG-NHS linker. Nanoparticles functionalized with Substance P (5-11) were synthesized with high yield in a two-step procedure, and the products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The obtained results show that one TiO2-bioconjugate nanoparticle contains in average 80 peptide molecules on its surface. The synthesized TiO2-PEG-SP(5-11) conjugates were labelled with 225Ac by ion-exchange reaction on hydroxyl (OH) functional groups on the TiO2 surface. The labelled bioconjugates almost quantitatively retain 225Ac in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), physiological salt and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for up to 10 days. The leaching of 221Fr, a first decay daughter of 225Ac, in an amount of 30% was observed only in CSF after 10 days. The synthesized 225Ac-TiO2-PEG-SP(5-11) has shown high cytotoxic effect in vitro in T98G glioma cells; therefore, it is a promising new radioconjugate for targeted radionuclide therapy of brain tumours. 相似文献

Nanocrystalline Li2TiO3 was successfully synthesized using solid-state reaction method. The microstructural and electrochemical properties of the prepared material are systematically characterized. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the prepared material exhibits predominant (002) orientation related to the monoclinic structure with C2/c space group. HRTEM images and SAED analysis reveal the well-developed nanostructured particles with average size of ~40 nm. The electrochemical properties of the prepared sample are carried out using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronopotentiometry (CP) using Pt//Li2TiO3 cell in 1 mol L?1 Li2SO4 aqueous electrolyte. The Li2TiO3 electrode exhibits a specific discharge capacity of 122 mAh g?1; it can be used as anode in Li battery within the potential window 0.0–1.0 V, while investigated as a supercapacitor electrode, it delivers a specific capacitance of 317 F g?1 at a current density of 1 mA g?1 within the potential range ?0.4 to +0.4 V. The demonstration of both anodic and supercapacitor behavior concludes that the nanocrystalline Li2TiO3 is a suitable electrode material for supercapattery application. 相似文献

In this work, Fe2TiO5 nanoparticles were used for improving the proton conductivity, and water and acid uptake of polybenzimidazole (PBI)-based proton exchange membranes. The nanocomposite membranes have been prepared using different amounts of Fe2TiO5 nanoparticles and dispersed into a PBI membrane with the solution-casting method. The prepared membranes were then physico-chemically and electrochemically characterized for use as electrolytes in high-temperature PEMFCs. The PBI/Fe2TiO5 membranes (PFT) showed a higher acid uptake and proton conductivity compared with the pure PBI membranes. The highest acid uptake (156 %) and proton conductivity (78 mS/cm at 180 °C) were observed for the PBI nanocomposite membranes containing 4 wt% of Fe2TiO5 nanoparticles (PFT4). The PFT4 composite membrane showed 380 mW/cm2 power density and 760 mA/cm2 current density in 0.5 V at 180 °C at dry condition. The above results indicated that the PFT4 nanocomposite membranes could be utilized as proton exchange membranes for high-temperature fuel cells. 相似文献
