TiO2/YFeO3复合光催化剂的制备、表征及其对气相苯的降解

利用共沉淀法和柠檬酸法制备YFeO3并以其为载体,将TiO2溶胶负载在其表面,制备了复合光催化剂TiO2/YFeO3.在紫外灯的照射下,考察对气相苯的降解效果并利用N2吸附、X射线衍射(XRD)、拉曼光谱、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、UV-Vis漫反射光谱等手段对催化剂进行了表征.结果表明,以共沉淀法制备的YFeO2为载体的复合催化剂,180 min内苯的降解率达到44.7%,表现出更好的光催化活性.两种方法制备的YFeO3均为斜方晶相,TiO2分散在载体的表面,并与YFeO3存在一定的相互作用;两种复合催化剂均具有较窄的带隙能.

Synthesis and Characterization of TiO2/YFeO3 and Its Photocatalytic Oxidation of Gaseous Benzene

YFeO3 was prepared by coprecipitation method and citric acid method, and TiO2/YFeO3 heterosystem photoeatalysts were synthesized by loading TiO2 sol on the surface of YFeO3 via sol-gel method. Their photocatalytic activities were evaluated by the decomposition of gaseous benzene under UV light illumination. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Results revealed that the heterosystem photocatalysts prepared by coprecipitation method showed higher activity, and the maximum conversion of benzene could reach 44.7% within 180 min. The YFeO3 samples prepared from coprecipitation method and citric acid method were absolutely in orthorhombic phase. The deposited titania was dispersed on the surface of carder and a certain interaction existed between TiO2 and YFeO3. The two heterosystem photocatalysts had narrow band-gap energies.
