Abstract: | Fe-doped sulfated titania photocatalysts were prepared by one-step thermal hydrolysis of industrial titanyl sulfate and characterized
using XRD, FT-IR, UV–Vis DRS, and N2 adsorption–desorption techniques. The effects of the volume ratio of pre-adding water to TiOSO4 on the structure of the titania photocatalysts were investigated. The photocatalytic activities of Fe-doped sulfated titania
samples were evaluated using the photooxidation of methylene blue in aqueous solutions under UV light irradiation. The results
indicate that Fe-doping induces the red shift of the absorption edge to the visible light range. Meanwhile, sulfur species
in the form of sulfate are incorporated into the network of Ti–O–Ti and coordinated to titania in bidentate models, which
can effectively promote the separation of the photogenerated electrons and holes. Synergistic effects of both are beneficial
for improving the photocatalytic activity of the Fe-doped sulfated titania photocatalysts. |
