Ag改性提高TiO2对Cr(VI)的光催化还原活性机理

在消除了质子缺乏、光生电子-空穴复合对Cr6＋光催化还原负效应影响下，比较了TiO2和Ag/TiO2（Ag质量分数 1.0％）光催化还原活性.结果表明，相同条件下Ag/TiO2表现出比TiO2更高的催化活性. EPR分析表明，对于Ag/TiO2，UV照射后Ag表面有活性物种生成，在TiO2上有活性中心表相Ti3＋生成.光生电子通过表相Ti3＋向Cr6＋传递电子是Cr6＋光催化还原的速度控制步骤.较多的表相Ti3＋参与还原反应是Ag/TiO2表现出较高催化活性的主要原因，担载Ag上积聚光生电子的较强流动性对反应也起到一定促进作用.     

负载贵金属光催化剂的光催化活性研究

在注入V离子的二氧化钛光催化剂上负载贵金属,制备了在可见光照射下具有高光催化活性的功能型光催化剂,研究在可见光和太阳光照射下丙炔的光催化水解反应，利用这些改性的二氧化钛构筑太阳能到化学能的转换系统.研究结果发现了V/Pt光催化剂在丙炔和水的光催化水解反应中，由于贵金属的存在，有利于促进发生加氢反应；导致丙烯的生成量增加.在可见光下的光催化活性也和负载贵金属所处的氧化状态有着密切的关系，贵金属完全被还原到0价是提高光催化活性的必要条件.

Metal-to-Oxide Charge Transfer Observed by a Kelvin Probe Force Microscope

The charge transfer from a nanometer-sized transition metal particle to a catalyst support is thought to affect reactions over the metal surface. We propose the application of Kelvin probe force microscope, which is an extension of the atomic force microscope, to observe the charge transfer particle-by-particle. Our recent results on Na adatoms, Cl adatoms, Pt adatoms and particles, and Ni particles evaporated on TiO₂(110) are reviewed.     

钛基片的化学机械抛光技术研究

采用化学机械抛光（CMP）方法对钛基片进行纳米级平坦化处理,通过系列抛光试验优化抛光液组成和抛光工艺条件后,得到AFM-Ra为0.159 nm的纳米级抛光表面和156.5 nm/min的抛光速率。抛光液的电化学分析结果表明：二氧化硅颗粒和乳酸在钛表面有不同程度的吸附缓蚀作用,氨水和F-的络合、扩散作用能破坏缓蚀膜层,两者的中间平衡状态才能得到最佳抛光效果。抛光后钛表层XPS测试结果显示钛表层经过化学氧化形成疏松氧化层后,再通过磨粒和抛光垫的机械作用去除。

Large-surface mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles: Synthesis, growth and photocatalytic performance

This study demonstrates a facile and effective method to generate mono-dispersed titanium dioxide spheres at ambient conditions. The size of the colloids can be controlled from 60 to 500 nm by optimizing experimental parameters (e.g., concentration, time, and temperature). Anatase TiO₂ can be obtained through titanium glycolate colloids generated in acetone via two ways: water boiling approach and calcination at a high temperature of 500 °C. Particle characteristics (shape, size, and size distribution) were measured by advanced techniques, including transmission electron microscope (TEM), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), UV/Vis absorption spectrum, nitrogen gas adsorption and desorption isotherms Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurement, and X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The possible mechanism of nucleation and growth of such colloids was discussed. The role of acetone in the formation and growth of titanium glycolate colloids was also investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Finally, the photocatalysis performance of such anatase TiO₂ particles was tested and proved to be efficient in degradation of organic dyes (e.g., phenolphthalein and methly orange).

Nanoclusters of TiO2 wetted with gold

We combined scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory to establish the structure-functionality relationship for nanometer-sized defects on TiO₂(1 1 0). Three-angstrom high topographically distinct dots are ascribed to stoichiometric TiO₂ nanoclusters with low coordination numbers. The under-coordinated O atoms of the nanocluster, with surface O atoms, provide exceptionally strong binding sites for Au nanoparticles. Our atomistic model elucidates a number of characteristics salient to low temperature CO oxidation by Au nanoparticles.     

Electronic structure,photocatalytic properties and phonon dispersions of X-doped (X = N,B and Pt) rutile TiO2 from density functional theory

First principles calculations were performed on the electronic, vibrational and Raman spectra of substitutional N-, B- and Pt-doped rutile titanium dioxide (TiO₂), within the density functional theory (DFT), using the plane-wave pseudopotential method. From the calculated electronic band structure and density of states we concluded that the doping induces significant changes in the band structure of TiO₂, highlighting B- and Pt-doped TiO₂ as the best candidates for photocatalytic materials for visible light absorption. On the other hand, N-doped TiO₂ appears to be active only for the photoreduction processes, although N doping introduces midstates into the band gap. Only N-doped TiO₂ proved to have stable phonon dispersions and showed interesting band doubling.
