等离子体电解氧化法制备多孔TiO2/V2O5复合物膜层及其增强光催化产氢活性

较差的光催化产氢效率极大地阻碍了TiO₂光催化剂的工业化应用。为此,本文在含有NH₄VO₃的磷酸盐溶液中,采用等离子体电解氧化(PEO)法制备了多孔TiO₂/V₂O₅复合膜光催化剂,通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能谱仪(EDS)、X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子谱(XPS)和紫外可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)对其组成、结构及光吸收性质进行了表征,并采用气相色谱评价了薄膜催化剂的光催化产氢性能,研究了电解液中NH₄VO₃含量对膜的结构、组成和光催化产氢性能的影响。结果表明:复合膜催化剂主要由锐钛矿和金红石型TiO₂组成,具有微孔结构,V₂O₅主要以无定形形式存在于膜中,与TiO₂有很强的相互作用,影响TiO₂的晶面间距。研究发现,元素V抑制了TiO₂的结晶和金红石型TiO₂的形成,扩大了薄膜的光学吸收范围。针对Na₂S+ Na₂SO₃溶液中的光催化产氢性能的研究显示,在质量浓度为1 g/L NH₄VO₃的电解液中制备的TiO₂/V₂O₅薄膜的光催化活性最高,优于近年来报道的其他光催化剂。光催化重复实验表明,该复合膜催化剂具有较高的稳定性和较为恒定的光催化活性。

TiO2-SiO2复合材料的结构调变对其催化应用的影响

TiO₂-SiO₂复合材料(TSCM)的催化应用性能受到其所含TiO₂物种的晶相和SiO₂骨架的孔道结构的显著影响。本文归纳总结了TSCM中TiO₂物种晶相、SiO₂骨架的孔道结构、形貌等特性的调变规律及其对TSCM催化性能的影响,并展望了TSCM材料的结构特性演变趋势以及在制备方法上的取舍。TSCM直接作为催化剂时,其活性位普遍被认为是TiO₂-SiO₂界面上的Ti—O—Si键位和酸性位点。而作为载体材料时,TSCM中的TiO₂物种可以与负载的金属活性中心表现出显著的载体-金属相互作用(SMSI),TiO₂物种的晶相可以对形成的金属活性中心的性能产生显著影响。在TSCM材料的合成研究中,合成含有单一锐钛矿相(Anatase)TiO₂物种的Anatase-SiO₂或单一金红石晶相(Rutile)的Rutile-SiO₂类型TSCM材料,以及同时含有这两个晶相TiO₂,但晶相比例可调的A/R-SiO₂类型TSCM材料仍充满挑战。TSCM的SiO₂骨架特性调控也同样具有挑战,如何在得到特定晶相和粒子尺寸的TiO₂物种的同时获得特定孔道特性和形貌特征的SiO₂骨架,仍是研究的难点和热点。两步法无需同时控制TiO₂和SiO₂物种的制备参数,重现性好,多用于特殊形貌的TSCM的制备,但通常其中TiO₂物种的分散度不佳。而一步法制备过程简短,更容易得到多孔-大比表面积材料,有利于实现TiO₂粒子的尺寸控制及其在SiO₂骨架中的均匀分布,从而得到更丰富的Ti—O—Si界面活性物种,但需要在同一合成体系中同时控制相互影响的TiO₂和SiO₂物种的制备参数,调控难度极大,与两步法相比,重现性较差。

采用化学共沉淀法合成前驱体,经1150℃ 烧结3.5 h得到近零膨胀26 wt% ZrW₂O₈/ZrO₂复合陶瓷,并利用X射线衍射仪、扫描电镜和热膨胀仪研究了原料中加入Al(NO₃)₃·9H₂O对26 wt% ZrW₂O₈/ZrO₂复合陶瓷的相组成、致密度和热膨胀性能的影响。研究结果表明,少量添加Al(NO₃)₃·9H₂O可有效提高复合材料致密度,所得复合陶瓷的组分仍为立方结构的α-ZrW₂O₈和单斜的m-ZrO₂,其中添加2.21 wt% Al(NO₃)₃·9H₂O的复合材料的致密度达到理论密度的98.67%,且对复合陶瓷的热膨胀性能影响不大。其促进致密化机制为晶界处低熔点液相物质Al₂(WO₄)₃提高了复合材料的烧结性能,消除气孔促进致密化。     

NiCo2O4/氧化石墨烯复合材料制备与电化学性能研究

为了研究NiCo₂O₄/氧化石墨烯(NiCo₂O₄/GO)复合材料的电化学性能,本文通过先水热合成前驱体再煅烧的方法制备了一系列NiCo₂O₄/GO复合材料.利用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和电化学方法对其进行物理表征,其中以GO质量浓度为1 mg/mL悬浊液制备出的NiCo₂O₄ /GO-3复合材料呈类海胆状结构.在1 M KOH水溶液中使用循环伏安法、恒电流充/放电法和交流阻抗法研究了NiCo₂O₄/GO复合材料电化学性能.研究表明,与纯NiCo₂O₄相比,制备的NiCo₂O₄ /GO复合材料的比容量和赝电容性能均有明显提高,这主要是由于NiCo₂O₄ /GO复合材料中NiCo₂O₄与GO纳米片的相互作用形成的高孔隙率复合结构;NiCo₂O₄ /GO-3复合材料在电流密度为0.5~3.0 A/g时,比电容超过650 F/g,具有良好的倍率性能和高比容量.采用本文方法合成的NiCo₂O₄/GO复合材料,既提高了其倍率性能又保证了高比容量,是一种良好的超级电容器电极材料.     

碳纤维/TiO2改性树脂复合材料的制备及力学性能

暴露(001)晶面的纳米TiO2/SiC复合纤维气敏性能

锐钛矿相的TiO₂晶体主要由热力学稳定的(101)晶面组成,而具有较高活性的(001)晶面所占比例较少。通过F离子的引入,当其吸附在TiO₂的高活性(001)晶面上时,可以使晶面的表面能降低,从而制备出暴露(001)晶面的TiO₂。为提高该TiO₂的气敏性能,通过水热法将纳米TiO₂与SiC超细纤维复合,制备出具有分级结构的TiO₂/SiC复合纤维,以此解决TiO₂回收难及单晶TiO₂之间团聚的问题。结果表明,对于丙酮气体,所合成的TiO₂/SiC复合纤维的灵敏度(21.2)是暴露(001)晶面的纳米TiO₂灵敏度(14.0)的1.5倍,是商业TiO₂灵敏度(4.0)的5.3倍。     

片状Al2O3对Al2O3/FEP复合材料热导率的影响

通过混炼工艺制备了片状Al₂O₃填充聚全氟乙丙烯(FEP)复合材料,以颗粒状Al₂O₃为对比样品,研究了片状Al₂O₃形状和尺寸对 FEP基复合材料热导率的影响,利用SEM观察了FEP基复合材料的微观形貌。结果表明：在低填充量下,Al₂O₃颗粒在FEP基体中呈“海岛”状分布,没有形成连续的导热网链,但其热导率明显提高;复合材料拉伸强度与断裂伸长率随Al₂O₃含量的增加而减小;低填充量时复合材料热导率的提高主要来自Al₂O₃的微细片状结构,这种微细片状结构一方面提高了有效导热路径,另一方面增加了颗粒与基体之间接触面积,因此有利于热导率的提高。     

Photocatalytic degradation of RhB over MgFe2O4/TiO2 composite materials

MgFe₂O₄/TiO₂ (MFO/TiO₂) composite photocatalysts were successfully synthesized using a mixing-annealing method. The synthesized composites exhibited significantly higher photocatalytic activity than a naked semiconductor in the photodegradation of Rhodamine B. Under UV and visible light irradiation, the optimal percentages of doped MgFe₂O₄ (MFO) were 2 wt.% and 3 wt.%, respectively. The effects of calcination temperature on photocatalytic activity were also investigated. The origin of the high level of activity was discussed based on the results of X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen physical adsorption. The enhanced activity of the catalysts was mainly attributed to the synergetic effect between the two semiconductors, the band potential of which matched suitably.     

Preparation and visible-light photocatalytic activity of In2S3/TiO2 composite

A novel In₂S₃/TiO₂ composite with visible-light photocatalytic activity was prepared by a chemical precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Under both UV- and visible-light irradiation, the In₂S₃/TiO₂ composite shows good photocatalytic activity to degrade methyl orange, ascribed to the absorption of visible light by In₂S₃ sensitizer and enhanced separation of photoinduced electron–hole pairs in the composite semiconductors.     

Preparation of metal ion (Fe and Ni) doped TiO2 nanoparticles supported on ZSM-5 zeolite and investigation of its photocatalytic activity

Metal ion doped TiO₂ nanoparticles supported on ZSM-5 zeolite (M-TiO₂/ZSM-5 composites, M = Fe or Ni) were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The prepared composites were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). The photocatalytic activities of composites were evaluated by degradation of yellow GX aqueous solution under ambient condition. Fe-TiO₂/ZSM-5 composite showed to be more efficient catalyst for degradation of dye molecules as compared with Ni-TiO₂/ZSM-5 and TiO₂/ZSM-5. Its higher photocatalytic activity is attributed to the effective separation of charge carriers that will be discussed in this paper in detail.     

Mesoporous Au/TiO2 composites preparation,characterization, and photocatalytic properties

In this work, mesoporous Au/TiO₂ composites have been synthesized and tested on photodegradation of methylene blue dye solution. Mesoporous TiO₂ prepared at 450 °C using triblock polymer F127 as structure-directing agent was applied as substrate, while various HAuCl₄ concentrations were used for Au loading through deposition-precipitation method using urea as precipitator and hydrogen reducing process. The influences of Au loading on the microstructures of mesoporous TiO₂ including degree of dispersion, particle size, surface area, light absorption, and band gap were studied with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transformed spectroscopy (DRIFT), N₂ adsorption–desorption isotherm analysis (BET), and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra. With Au loading, the size of TiO₂ nanoparticles in Au/TiO₂ composites is similar as that of TiO₂ substrate. However, the degree of dispersion was greatly improved. Furthermore, an obvious surface plasmon resonance centered at 570 nm was found in UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra for Au/TiO₂ composites. Au loading also induced an obvious red shift of light absorption from UV region to visible region and strengthened both UV and visible light absorption in contrast to substrate. Photodegradation results verified that photocatalytic activity of mesoporous TiO₂ was improved by Au loading. 0.25%Au/TiO₂ composite showed the highest activity, which may be ascribed to its high surface hydroxyl content and the formed Schottky junction after Au loading. These results suggested that noble metal modification is a promising way to synthesize photocatalysts with both high activity and visible light sensitivity.     

Investigation on solar photocatalytic activity of TiO2 loaded composite: TiO2/Eggshell, TiO2/Clamshell and TiO2/CaCO3

The TiO₂/Eggshell, TiO₂/Clamshell and TiO₂/CaCO₃ loaded composites were prepared by sol-gel method and characterized by XRD and SEM. Their photocatalytic activities were measured through the degradation of Acid Red B under solar light irradiation. The influences of TiO₂ loaded content, heat-treated temperature and time on the photocatalytic activities were reviewed. The effects of irradiation time and dye initial concentration on the photocatalytic degradation were also investigated. The results showed that the photocatalytic activity can be greatly enhanced by appropriate TiO₂ loaded content.     

Pt纳米颗粒负载SrTiO3/TiO2异质结结构制备及制氢性能

本文以固定n(Sr)/n(Ti)摩尔比0.4的SrTiO_3/TiO_2(金红石相)异质结纳米颗粒,通过"光催化还原沉积方法"制备不同质量分数的纳米铂颗粒(0、1%、2%、5%),探究其催化活性的变化,采用XRD、SEM、UV-vis、XPS方法对其进行表征,并做了相关光催化分解水产氢性能测试.结果表明:负载贵金属Pt纳米颗粒量越大,对应的Pt晶粒平均尺寸为40.8 nm,1%Pt纳米颗粒SrTiO_3/TiO_2异质结构的BET比表面积在23.195 m~2/g处最高,并且介孔材料的特征是平均Barrett-Joyner-Halenda(BJH)孔径为13.60 nm,总孔体积为0.079 cm~3/g;高BET表面积和大的总孔体积强烈地支持SrTiO_3/TiO_2具有介孔结构的事实;相应的催化剂催化活性越高,其中负载5%Pt纳米颗粒的SrTiO_3/TiO_2纳米颗粒光催化8 h产氢量为3.574 mmol,平均产氢效率为0.447 mmol/(gcat·h),但从性价比的角度来考虑,其催化效率远不及负载1%Pt纳米颗粒的SrTiO_3/TiO_2纳米颗粒催化效率的5倍,因此负载5%Pt的SrTiO_3/TiO_2纳米颗粒光催化效率最高.     

In-situ preparation of TiO2/SnO2 nanocrystalline sol for photocatalysis

A novel preparation method to synthesize TiO₂/SnO₂ nanocrystalline sol under mild conditions was presented. Ti(OC₄H₉)₄ used as a precursor was hydrolyzed in the rutile SnO₂ nanocrystalline sol, and in-situ formed TiO₂/SnO₂ nanocrystalline sol. The crystal structure, morphology and photocatalysis performance of samples were investigated. The results show that the additional rutile SnO₂ nano grains serve as heterogeneous crystal nucleus and exhibite the inducing effect on TiO₂ grains growth, thus leading to the changes in crystalline phase and particle morphology. In addition, the photoluminescence (PL) spectra analysis indicates that TiO₂/SnO₂ composite structure induces a better charge separation, and thus the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂/SnO₂ sol is increased significantly compared with TiO₂ sol.     

Bactericidal effect of blue LED light irradiated TiO2/Fe3O4 particles on fish pathogen in seawater

This study uses blue LED light (λ_max = 475 nm) activated TiO₂/Fe₃O₄ particles to evaluate the particles' photocatalytic activity efficiency and bactericidal effects in seawater of variable salinities. Different TiO₂ to Fe₃O₄ mole ratios have been synthesized using sol-gel method. The synthesized particles contain mainly anatase TiO₂, Fe₃O₄ and FeTiO₃. The study has identified TiO₂/Fe₃O₄'s bactericidal effect to marine fish pathogen (Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida BCRC17065) in seawater. The SEM photo reveals the surface destruction in bacteria incubated with blue LED irradiated TiO₂/Fe₃O₄. The result of this study indicates that 1) TiO₂/Fe₃O₄ acquires photocatalytic activities in both the freshwater and the seawater via blue LED irradiation, 2) higher photocatalytic activities appear in solutions of higher TiO₂/Fe₃O₄ mole ratio, and 3) photocatalytic activity decreases as salinity increases. These results suggest that the energy saving blue LED light is a feasible light source to activate TiO₂/Fe₃O₄ photocatalytic activities in both freshwater and seawater.     

Solar photocatalytic degradation of 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol (DNBP) using TiO2/SiO2 aerogel composite photocatalysts

Silica aerogels and TiO₂/silica aerogel composite photocatalysts were synthesized by sol–gel technique at ambient pressure using orthosilioate and tetra-n-butyl titanate as precursors, respectively. The prepared composite photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM, BET surface area, FT-IR and UV–vis absorption spectra. The results showed that the TiO₂/silica aerogel composite photocatalysts possess high surface area. The addition of silica aerogels inhibited the grain growth and phase transformation of anatase to rutile during calcination. The TiO₂/silica aerogel composite sample calcined at 500 °C with an optimal silica aerogel content of 7 wt.% afforded the highest photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic degradation of 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol (DNBP) was investigated by using this novel TiO₂/silica aerogel composite photocatalyst under solar light irradiation. The effects of irradiation time, pH, catalyst concentration, temperature and initial DNBP concentration were examined as operational parameters. The optimal operational parameters were found as follows: pH as solution pH 4.82, 8 g L⁻¹ catalyst concentration, 20 °C, and 240 min irradiation time. The kinetics of DNBP degradation by TiO₂/silica aerogel composite fit well a pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The repeatability of photocatalytic activity was also tested. This study showed the feasible and potential use of TiO₂/silica aerogel composite photocatalysts in degradation of toxic organic contaminants.
