The PEO process is critical to the formation of TiO_2 seeding layer for the nucleation of Na_2Ti_3O_7 and H_2Ti_3O_7 mediates that are strongly attached to the Ti foil. An ion exchange reaction can finally lead to the formation of H_2Ti_3O_7 nanostructures with diverse morphologies and the calcination process can turn the H_2Ti_3O_7 nanostructures into TiO_2 nanostructures with enhanced crystallinity. The morphology of the TiO_2 nanostructures including nanoparticles(NP), nanowhiskers(NWK), nanowires(NW) and nanosheets(NS) can be easily tailored by controlling the NaOH concentration and reaction time during hydrothermal process. The morphology, composition and optical properties of TiO_2 photocatalysts were analyzed using scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), photoluminescence(PL) spectroscopy and UV–vis absorption spectrum. Photocatalytic tests indicate that the TiO_2 nanosheets calcined at 500?C show good crystallization and the best capability of decomposing organic pollutants. The decoration of Ag cocatalyst can further improve the photocatalytic performance of the TiO_2 nanosheets as a result of the enhanced charger separation efficiency. Cyclic photocatalytic test using TiO_2 nanostructures grown on Ti foil substrate demonstrates the superior stability in the photodegradation of organic pollutant, suggesting the promising potential of in-situ growth technology for industrial application.展开更多

The morphology tailoring of Fe_(2)O_(3) nanostructures finds that Fe2O3 nanosheets supported on TiO2 exhibit superior catalytic performance with a complete oxidation of CO at 260℃. The catalytic stability test indicates that the in-situ grown Fe_(2)O_(3)/TiO_(2) catalysts own outstanding performance for continuous CO oxidation due to the strong substrate adhesion without mass loss. The microstructures and interfaces of Fe_(2)O_(3)/TiO_(2) catalysts are well studied using series of characterization techniques. The in-situ preparation strategy of metal oxide catalysts in this work will open up more opportunities for the rational design of variety of monolithic catalysts used for CO oxidation, de-NO_(x), three-way catalysis and other related application in industry.展开更多
