Visible-light responsive dye-modified TiO2 photocatalyst

A series of dye-modified TiO₂ photocatalysts were synthesized using dye Chrysoidine G (CG), tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI), and commercial TiO₂ (Degussa P25) as starting materials. TDI was used as a bridging molecule whose two -NCO groups reacted with Ti-OH of TiO₂ and -NH₂ groups of CG, respectively. As a result, special organic complexes were formed on the TiO₂ surface via stable π-conjugated chemical bonds between TiO₂ and dye molecules, confirmed by FT-IR, XPS, and UV-vis spectra. Due to the existence of π-conjugated surface organic complexes, the as-synthesized photocatalysts showed a great improvement in visible absorption (400-550 nm). Methylene blue, as a photodegradation target, was used to evaluate the photocatalytic performance, and the dye-modified TiO₂ exhibited much better activity under the visible light irradiation than bare TiO₂.

Photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2/poly[acrylamide-co-(acrylic acid)] composite for textile dye degradation

A novel photocatalytically degradable TiO₂/poly[acrylamide-co-(acrylic acid)] composite hydrogel (TiO₂/poly[AAm-co-AAc]) was synthesized by polymerization in an aqueous solution with N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide as the crosslinker and ammonium persulphate and TEMED as the initiator pair. The combined and separate effects of photodegradation and adsorption processes for dye removal were evaluated using methylene blue (MB) as the model dye for a photodegradation target, and compared with those of the neat poly[AAm-co-AAc], and a commercially available TiO₂ photocatalyst (Degussa P-25). Without photodegradation (i.e. in the dark), the TiO₂/poly[AAm-co-AAc] composite adsorbed up to 85% of the MB from a 5 mg L⁻¹ MB solution in 15 min compared to only 10% for the pristine TiO₂. The reproducibility in photodegradation of the reused poly[AAm-co-AAc] composite was also investigated, where poly[AAm-co-AAc] was found to be photocatalytically degraded under UV irradiation. Therefore, the TiO₂/poly[AAm-co-AAc] composite hydrogel is a good dye adsorber with self-photodegradability and it also can easily be separated from the reaction by simple filtration. With these properties, the TiO₂/poly[AAm-co-AAc] hydrogel can be called a green polymer for use in the photodegradation-adsorption process for the abatement of various pollutants.

Solid-phase photocatalytic degradation of polystyrene plastic with TiO2 as photocatalyst

Solid-phase photocatalytic degradation of polystyrene (PS) plastic with TiO₂ as photocatalyst was investigated in the ambient air under ultraviolet light irradiation. Higher weight loss rate, lower average molecular weight, increased carbonyl peak intensity, less volatile organics and more CO₂ emitted with irradiation in PS-TiO₂ composite sample compared to pure PS sample were observed. These facts indicated the higher photodegradation rate of PS-TiO₂ sample than that of PS sample, and emphasized the potential of the composite sample in bring about complete photodegradation of polystyrene plastic. It is implied that the degradation initially occurred over TiO₂ particles, followed by the diffusion reaction with the aid of reactive oxygen species generated on TiO₂ particle surface.

Theoretical study of intra- and inter-chain magnetic interactions in [Ni(chxn)2Br]Br2

The intra- and the inter-chain magnetic interactions in [Ni(chxn)₂Br]Br₂, which is one of the typical one-dimensional (1-D) MX complexes are examined by using an unrestricted hybrid DFT (UB3LYP) method. Calculated effective exchange integral (J) value along the 1-D chain is 2J_Intra = −4016 K and is close to an experimental result (−3600 K). On the other hand, a very weak anti-ferromagnetic inter-chain interaction through Br⁻ ions is observed. The value is estimated to be 2J_Inter = −2 to −6 K. In addition to the J values, transfer integral (t), on-site Coulomb repulsion (U) and charge transfer energy (E^CT) values along the 1-D chain are also estimated to be 0.46, 2.46 and 0.6 eV, respectively.

An excellent visible-light-responsive (from 400 to 550 nm) TiO_2−xN_x photocatalyst was prepared by a simple wet method. Hydrazine was used as a new nitrogen resource in this paper. Self-made amorphous titanium dioxide precursor powders were dipped into hydrazine hydrate, and calcined at low temperature (110 °C) in the air.

Synthesis of visible-light reactive TiO2−xNy photocatalyst by mechanochemical doping

Yellowish TiO_2−xN_y was prepared by a novel mechanochemical nitrogen-doping method. The samples were prepared by a high-energy ball milling of P25 titania with different nitrogen sources such as hexamethylenetetramine, urea or ammonium carbonate, followed by calcination in air at 400 °C. The high mechanical energy accelerated the phase transformation of anatase to rutile, while the existence of the nitrogen reagents tended to block the transformation. The calcination treatment slightly increased the crystallinity of the prepared titania. The prepared powders possessed two absorption edges at around 400 and 540 nm and showed an excellent photocatalytic ability for the oxidation of nitrogen monoxide under visible light irradiation. Under the irradiation of visible light with wavelengths of >510 nm, nitrogen monoxide could be continuously removed by the nitrogen doped titania prepared from the P25 titania-hexamethylenetetramine mixture, while the powders prepared using urea and ammonium carbonate as nitrogen sources showed lower activities. This mechanochemical technique might be widely useful for doping oxides with nonmetallic elements.
