PATP在Ag/TiO_2纳米管基底上的表面增强拉曼散射和光催化过程研究

表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)是一种超灵敏、高选择性的分析方法,越来越受到人们的关注。对巯基苯胺(PATP)由于其易吸附在大多数SERS基底表面,并可以产生极强的SERS信号,因此常被用作SERS的探针分子。二氧化钛(TiO_2)是一种目前常用的光催化剂,但是其催化效率仍有待提高。将贵金属与TiO_2复合是提高其催化效率的有效手段。本文采用电化学阳极氧化法制备了二氧化钛纳米管(TiO_2NTs),并采用光化学还原方法在表面沉积了贵金属银,制备了一种同时具有SERS和催化性能的双功能基底,即银纳米粒子修饰的二氧化钛纳米管(Ag/TiO_2NTs),研究了PATP分子在该基底上的光催化过程,并与在银镜基底上的光催化过程进行了比较。我们发现,Ag/TiO_2NTs基底上的PATP在催化过程中峰强度逐渐减弱,但没有新峰的出现;而在银镜基底上PATP的峰强度随光照时间却几乎没有变化,证明了PATP分子在Ag/TiO_2 NTs上的光催化降解过程。本文还对Ag/TiO_2NTs上PATP的催化过程进行了动力学分析,结果表明PATP在该基底表面的催化反应为一级反应。

Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Study on Photocatalysis of PATP When Adsorbed on Ag/TiO2 Nanotubes

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is spectroscopic technique with ultra‐sensitivity and high selectivity and has attracted great attention because of the potential applications in various fields .P‐aminothiophenol (PATP) is often used as SERS probe molecule because it is easy to adsorb on SERS substrates and produce high‐quality SERS signals .TiO2 is extensively used as photocatalyst although its photocatalytic efficiency is still needed to be improved .Noble metal‐modified TiO2 is one of current important techniques for maximizing the efficiency of photocatalytic efficiency .In this article ,a kind of bifunctional SERS substrates ,Ag/TiO2 nanotubes ,with photocatalysis property were prepared ,the TiO2 NTs were prepared by anodic oxi‐dation and noble metal Ag nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of TiO 2 NTs by photoreduction method .The photocataly‐sis of PATP on Ag /TiO2 NTs and on Ag mirror substrates were studied .The SERS signals of PATP were decreased with the ultraviolet irradiation time ,however ,on Ag mirror substrates ,SERS intensity of PATP was slightly changed ,which indicated the photocatalysis reaction of PATP on Ag /TiO2 NTs substrates .The kinetics analysis results indicate that the kinetics of the photocatalysis follows the first order of the dynamical reaction .
