It is shown that the rutile could hardly catalyze the degradation of the methyl orange and anatase is more effective for catalyzing the degradation than rutile. Moreover, the activities of mixed crystalline forms of TiO 2 vary with the change of the values of A/R , the best of which is 9∶1. Some characterizations with XRD, XPS and SPS were performed and explanations to the phenomena that exist in photodegradation are given out.展开更多

XRD and XPS experiments showed that Sn was doped into the lattice of TiO 2 with a ratio of n (Sn)∶ n (Ti)=1∶10 . Sn doping largely enhanced the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 film for phenol degradation. The enhancement in photoactivity by doping was discussed, based on the characterization with AFM, FTIR and EFISPS. Sn doping produced localized level of Sn 4+ in the band gap of TiO 2, about 0.4 eV below the conduction band, which could capture photogenerated electrons and reduce O 2 adsorbed on the surface of TiO 2 film, thus accelerated the photocatalytic reaction.展开更多

The grain size, given out by Sherrer formula, is 19 nm. With polystyrene dissolved in toluene as binder, TiO 2 adhered to the glassfibre substrate. By this method, the powder was immobilized and the crystal form, grain size and photocatalysis activities were well maintained. Photocatalysis degradation properties were investigated by putting the TiO 2 immobilization film in the methyl orange aqueous system. The results indicated that the differences of degradation rate between the TiO 2 immobilization film and powder were not obvious, which made waste water treatment using photocatalysis degradation technique possible in the practical application.

Here a novel sonochemical method for directly preparing anatase nanocrystalline TiO 2 has been established. Nanocrystalline TiO 2 were synthesized by the hydrolysis of titanium tetrabutyl in the presence of water and ethanol under a high intensity ultrasonic irradiation(20 kHz, 100 W/cm 2) at 363 K for 3 h. The structure and particle sizes of the product were dependent upon the reaction temperature, the acidity of the medium and the reaction time. Characterization was accomplished by using various different techniques, such as powder X ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), thermogravimetry differential thermal analysis(TG DTA) and Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy. The TEM images showed that the particles of TiO 2 were columnar in shape and the average sizes were ca. 3 nm×7 nm . The formation mechanism of nanocrystalline TiO 2 under a high intensity ultrasonic irradiation was also investigated. The hydrolytic species of titanium tetrabutyl in water condensed to form a large number of tiny gel nuclei which aggregated to form larger clusters. Ultrasound irradiation generated a lot of local hot spots within the gel and the crystal structural unit was formed near the hot spots with the decrease of the gel nuclei, which lead to form nanocrystal particles.展开更多

The results showed that the doping of Fe 3+ , Co 2+ , Ni 2+ and Cr 3+ in TiO 2 nanoparticles made the photocatalytic efficiency of the TiO 2 particles reduce and the higher the initial content of Fe 3+ , the lower the ability of TiO 2 in photocatalyzing the degradation of RB. But the doping of Zn 2+ and Cd 2+ , especially Zn 2+ , made the photocatalytic efficiency of the TiO 2 particles enhance, showing a great increase of the rate constant( k ) and the initial reaction rate( r ini ).展开更多
