Correspondingly, mesoporous TiO_2 and its correlated photocatalysts are able to help people seek for better life. In this review, first of all, we briefly introduce the preparations and applications of mesoporous TiO_2-SiO_2 materials, which exhibit excellent performance in pollutants decomposition and H_2 evolution in photocatalysis. Then, we review the mesoporous composites of TiSiO_2 materials, which are ideal materials used in the photoreduction of air pollutants such as CO_2, NO and NO_2. It is powerfully evident from the literature surveys that these TiO_2 based mesoporous photocatalysts possess a large potential in environment and energy development.展开更多

The iron ions were in situ embedded in the pore wall of the TiO2 framework. The catalyst has excellent light-assisted Fenton catalytic performance under UV and visible light irradiation. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy results showed that the TiO2 samples have an ordered two-dimensional hexagonal pore structure and an anatase phase structure with high crystallinity. The ordered pore structure of the TiO2 photocatalyst with a large specific surface area is beneficial to mass transfer and light harvesting. Furthermore, iron ions can be controlled by embedding them into the TiO2 framework to prevent iron ion loss and inactivation. After five cycles, the reaction rate of the ordered mesoporous Fe/TiO2 remained unchanged, indicating that the material has stable performance and broad application prospects for the purification of environmental pollutants.展开更多

The samples were characterized by XRD, XRF, N_2 adsorption and desorption, FTIR, UVvis,SEM, EDS, and TEM techniques. The test results showed that TiO_2 was amorphous, the TiO_2/BMMS catalyst had an ordered bimodal mesoporous structure, and the chemical interaction existed between BMMS and TiO_2. Since the TiO_2/BMMS had a lower band gap, its photocatalytic activity was better than TiO_2. Under UV irradiation a one-pot PODS system was set up, using TiO_2/BMMS as the catalyst, H_2O_2 as the oxidant, and methanol as the solvent. The TiO_2/BMMS catalyst showed better photocatalytic activity than the mono-modal mesoporous TiO_2/SBA-15 catalyst, and the desulfurization rate of dibenzothiophene(DBT) over TiO_2/BMMS catalyst could reach 99._2%. The TiO_2/BMMS catalyst also had so good stability that the desulfurization rate of DBT did not drop apparently after 8 cycles of reusing, and could still be close to 90%.展开更多

文摘TiNb_(2)O_(7)has been emerged as one of the most promising electrode materials for high-energy lithium-ion batteries.However,limited by the slow electron/ion transport kinetics,and insufficient active sites in the bulk structure,the TiNb_(2)O_(7)electrode still suffers from unsatisfactory lithium storage performance.Herein,we demonstrate a spatially confined strategy toward a novel TiNb_(2)O_(7)-NMC/MXene composite through a triblock copolymer-directed one-pot solvothermal route,where TiNb_(2)O_(7)quantum dots with a particle size of 2-3 nm are evenly embedded into N-doped mesoporous carbon(NMC)and Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(X)MXene.Impressively,the as-prepared TiNb_(2)O_(7)-NMC/MXene anode exhibits a high reversible capacity(486.2 mAh g^(-1)at 0.1 A g^(-1)after 100 cycles)and long cycle lifespan(363.4 mAh g^(-1)at ss1 A g^(-1)after 500 cycles).Both experimental and theorical results further demonstrate that such a superior lithium storage performance is mainly ascribed to the synergistic effect among 0D TiNb_(2)O_(7)quantum dots,2D Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(X)MXene nanosheets,and N-doped mesoporous carbon.The strategy presented also opens up new horizon for space-confined preparation of high-performance electrode materials.

文摘KIT‐6 mesoporous silica aged at 40,100,and 150°C were used as hard templates to prepare different mesoporous MnO2 catalysts,marked as Mn‐40,Mn‐100,and Mn‐150,respectively.The catalytic activities of these catalysts and the effect of pore sizes on ethanol catalytic oxidation were investigated.Mn‐40,Mn‐100,and Mn‐150 have triple,double,and single pore systems,respectively.On decreasing the aging temperature of KIT‐6,the pore sizes of KIT‐6 decrease and that of mesoporous MnO2 catalysts increase.The pore sizes and catalytic activities increase in the order:Mn‐40>Mn‐100>Mn‐150.Mn‐40 catalyst has a higher TOF(0.11 s–1 at 120°C)and the best catalytic activity for ethanol oxidation because of a bigger pore size with three pore systems with maximum distribution at 1.9,3.4,and 6.6 nm,decrease in symmetry and degree of order,more surface lattice oxygen species,oxygen vacancies resulting from more Mn3+ions,and better low‐temperature reducibility.

文摘Recently,a one-pot self-assembly method was proposed for the synthesis of mesoporous Al2O3 and MOx-Al2O3 composite materials.However,few attempts have been made to use mesoporous MOx-Al2O3 composites to support metal oxides for catalysis.In the present work,mesoporous MOx-Al2O3（M = Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu,Ba）materials were prepared by a one-pot self-assembly method using Pluronic P123 as a structure-directing agent.The obtained mesoporous materials were loaded with Rh2O3 nanoparticles via impregnation with Rh（NO3）3 followed by calcination in air at 500°C.The resulting catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction,N2 adsorption-desorption measurements,transmission electron microscopy,inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and their catalytic activity and stability for CO oxidation and N2O decomposition were tested.The Rh2O3 nanoparticles were found to be on the order of1 nm in size and were highly dispersed on the high surface area mesoporous MOx-Al2O3 supports.A number of the Rh2O3/mesoporous MOx-Al2O3 catalysts exhibited higher catalytic activity than the Rh2O3/mesoporous Al2O3 prepared for comparison.

文摘A series of mesoporous Cu-Zn-Al2O3 materials have been synthesized at ambient temperature and their structure was characterized by XRD, N2 physical adsorption and TPR techniques. Their catalytic applications for the dehydrogenation of 2-butanol to methyl ethyl ketone （MEK） were evaluated in a fixed-bed flow reactor at atmospheric pressure. It is demonstrated from the XRD patterns that both the as-synthesized samples and calcined samples have the typical XRD patterns of meso-structured materials and the results of N20 chemical adsorption showed that Cu was embedded in the framework of the mesoporous materials and homogeneously dispersed in the mesoporous Cu-Zn-Al2O3 materials. The catalytic activity of 2-butanol dehydrogenation was varied in the order of CZA（10） 〈 CZA（CP） 〈 CZA（20） 〈 CZA（30）; while the selectivity of MEK was increased in the order of CZA（CP） 〈 CZA（10） 〈 CZA（20） 〈CZA（30）.

文摘With the development of the human economy and green chemistry, people pay much more attention to environmental safety. Correspondingly, mesoporous TiO_2 and its correlated photocatalysts are able to help people seek for better life. In this review, first of all, we briefly introduce the preparations and applications of mesoporous TiO_2-SiO_2 materials, which exhibit excellent performance in pollutants decomposition and H_2 evolution in photocatalysis. Then, we review the mesoporous composites of TiSiO_2 materials, which are ideal materials used in the photoreduction of air pollutants such as CO_2, NO and NO_2. It is powerfully evident from the literature surveys that these TiO_2 based mesoporous photocatalysts possess a large potential in environment and energy development.

文摘TiO_(2)is the dominant and most widely researched photocatalyst for environmental remediation,however,the drawbacks,such as only responding to UV light(<5%of sunlight),low charge separation efficiency,and difficulties in recycling,have severely hindered its practical application.Herein,we synthesized magnetically separable Fe_(3)O_(4)@MoS_(2)@mesoporous TiO_(2)(FMmT)photocatalysts via a simple,green,and template-free solvothermal method combined with ultrasonic hydrolysis.It is found that FMmT possesses a high specific surface area(55.09 m2·g−1),enhanced visible-light responsiveness(~521 nm),and remarkable photogenerated charge separation efficiency.In addition,the photocatalytic degradation efficiencies of FMmT for methylene blue(MB),rhodamine B(RhB),and tetracycline(TC)are 99.4%,98.5%,and 89.3%within 300 min,respectively.The corresponding degradation rates are 4.5,4.3,and 3.1 times higher than those of pure TiO_(2)separately.Owing to the high saturation magnetization(43.1 A·m^(2)·kg^(−1)),FMmT can achieve effective recycling with an applied magnetic field.The improved photocatalytic activity is closely related to the effective transport of photogenerated electrons by the active interlayer MoS_(2) and the electron–hole separation caused by the MoS_(2)@TiO_(2)heterojunction.Meanwhile,the excellent light-harvesting ability and abundant reactive sites of the mesoporous TiO_(2)shell further boost the photocatalytic efficiency of FMmT.This work provides a new approach and some experimental basis for the design and performance improvement of magnetic photocatalysts by innovatively incorporating MoS2 as the active interlayer and integrating it with a mesoporous shell.

文摘Ordered mesoporous Fe/TiO2 was prepared by an evaporation-induced self-assembly method. The iron ions were in situ embedded in the pore wall of the TiO2 framework. The catalyst has excellent light-assisted Fenton catalytic performance under UV and visible light irradiation. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy results showed that the TiO2 samples have an ordered two-dimensional hexagonal pore structure and an anatase phase structure with high crystallinity. The ordered pore structure of the TiO2 photocatalyst with a large specific surface area is beneficial to mass transfer and light harvesting. Furthermore, iron ions can be controlled by embedding them into the TiO2 framework to prevent iron ion loss and inactivation. After five cycles, the reaction rate of the ordered mesoporous Fe/TiO2 remained unchanged, indicating that the material has stable performance and broad application prospects for the purification of environmental pollutants.

文摘By using the bimodal mesoporous silica(BMMS) as the carrier and butyl titanate as the titanium source, the TiO_2/BMMS catalyst was prepared. The samples were characterized by XRD, XRF, N_2 adsorption and desorption, FTIR, UVvis,SEM, EDS, and TEM techniques. The test results showed that TiO_2 was amorphous, the TiO_2/BMMS catalyst had an ordered bimodal mesoporous structure, and the chemical interaction existed between BMMS and TiO_2. Since the TiO_2/BMMS had a lower band gap, its photocatalytic activity was better than TiO_2. Under UV irradiation a one-pot PODS system was set up, using TiO_2/BMMS as the catalyst, H_2O_2 as the oxidant, and methanol as the solvent. The TiO_2/BMMS catalyst showed better photocatalytic activity than the mono-modal mesoporous TiO_2/SBA-15 catalyst, and the desulfurization rate of dibenzothiophene(DBT) over TiO_2/BMMS catalyst could reach 99._2%. The TiO_2/BMMS catalyst also had so good stability that the desulfurization rate of DBT did not drop apparently after 8 cycles of reusing, and could still be close to 90%.

文摘A series of Z-schemeβ-Bi_(2)O_(3)/ZrO_(2)hetero-junction composites containing three-dimensional(3D)mesoporous silica nanospheres(MSNs)were synthesized as efficient catalysts for antibiotic remediation.The obtained MSN/β-Bi_(2)O_(3)/ZrO_(2)ternary composites possess novel lamellar cross structure,which is well constructed byβ-Bi_(2)O_(3)nanosheets,3D MSNs,and ZrO_(2)nanoparticles.The optimal sample BZS-2(Bi∶Zr∶Si=1∶0.4∶0.33)shows an adsorptive-photocatalytic removal efficiency of 92.7%towards levofloxacin(LVF)and a total organic carbon(TOC)removal efficiency of 60.0%under simu-lated solar light irradiation for 100 min.BZS-2 can also remove 90.1%and 91.2%of tetracycline hydrochloride(TC)and oxytetracycline hydrochloride(OTC),respectively,and themaximum adsorptioncapacityof TCover BZS-2is almost 10 times that of-BiO.Theimprovement ofphotocatalytic activitycan bemainly attributed to the enhanced visible-light adsorption capacity and more efficientseparationof photogenerated electron-hole pairs.A possible Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism of p BiO/ZrOheterojunctions based on valence band offset(AEvBo)andconduction band offset(EcBo)isproposed.This study provides an efficient way to construct novel mesoporous ternary photocatalyst with increased accessible surface area and active sites for treatment of antibiotics by synergistic adsorption and photocatalysis.

文摘Mesoporous semiconducting metal oxides(SMOs)heterojunctions are appealing sensors for gas detecting.However,due to the different hydrolysis and condensation mechanism of every metal precursor and the contradiction between high crystallinity and high surface area,the synthesis of mesoporous SMOs heterojunctions with highly o rdered mesostructures,highly crystallized frameworks,and high surface area remains a huge challenge.In this work,we develop a novel"acid-base pair"adjusted solvent evaporation induced self-assembly(EISA)strategy to prepare highly crystallized ordered mesoporous TiO2/WO3(OM-TiO2/WO3)heterojunctions.The WCl6 and titanium isopropoxide(TIPO)are used as the precursors,respectively,which function as the"acid-base pair",enabling the coassembly with the structure directing agent(PEO-b-PS)into highly ordered meso structures.In addition,PEO-b-PS can be converted to rigid carbon which can protect the meso structures from collapse during the crystallization process.The resultant OM-TiO2/WO3 heterojunctions possess primitive cubic mesostructures,large pore size(~21.1 nm),highly crystalline frameworks and surface area(~98 m2/g).As a sensor for acetone,the obtained OM-TiO2/WO3 show excellent re sponse/recovery perfo rmance(3 s/5 s),good linear dependence,repeatability,selectivity,and long-term stability(35 days).
文摘Photocatalytic degradation and hydrogen production using solar energy through semiconductor photocatalysts are deemed to be a powerful approach for solving environmental and energy crisis.However,the biggest challenge in photocatalysis is the efficient separation of photo-induced carriers.To this end,we report that the mesoporous TiO_(2)nanoparticles are anchored on highly conductive Ti_(3)C_(2)MXene co-catalyst by electrostatic self-assembly strategy.The constructed mesoporous TiO_(2)/Ti_(3)C_(2)composites display that the mesoporous TiO_(2)nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the surface of layer structured Ti_(3)C_(2)nanosheets.More importantly,the as-obtained mesoporous TiO_(2)/Ti_(3)C_(2)composites reveal the significantly enhanced light absorption performance,photo-induced carriers separation and transfer ability,thus boosting the photocatalytic activity.The photocatalytic methyl orange degradation efficiency of mesoporous TiO_(2)/Ti_(3)C_(2)composite with an optimized Ti_(3)C_(2)content(3 wt%)can reach 99.6%within 40 min.The capture experiments of active species confirm that the·O_(2)-and·OH play major role in photocatalytic degradation process.Furthermore,the optimized mesoporous TiO_(2)/Ti_(3)C_(2)composite also shows an excellent photocatalytic H2 production rate of 218.85μmol g^(-1)h^(-1),resulting in a 5.6 times activity as compared with the pristine mesoporous TiO_(2)nanoparticles.This study demonstrates that the MXene family materials can be applied as highly efficient noble-metal-free co-catalysts in the field of photocatalysis.
文摘We synthesized a mesoporous film based on TiO2-reduced graphene oxide(RGO)hybrids using a one-step vapor-thermal method without the need for an additional annealing process.The vapor-thermally prepared TiO2-graphene hybrid(VTH)features unique structures with an ultra-large specific surface area of^260 m^2 g^-1 and low aggregation,giving rise to enhanced light harvesting and increased charge generation and separation efficiency.It was observed that a mesoporous film with uniform pore distribution is simultaneously obtained during the VTH growth process.When a 5.0 wt%RGO VTH film was used as the active layer in photocatalysis,the highest photocatalytic activity for degradation of methyl orange was achieved.For another,when a 0.75 wt%RGO VTH film was used as the photoanode in a dye-sensitized solar cell,the power conversion efficiency reached 7.58%,which represents an increase of 73.1%compared to a solar cell using an a photoanode of pure TiO2 synthesized by a traditional solvothermal method.It is expected that this facile method for the synthesis of TiO2/graphene hybrid mesoporous films will be useful in practical applications for preparing other metal oxide/graphene hybrids with ultra-high photocatalytic activity and photovoltaic performance.

文摘Ce and C-S codoped mesoporous TiO_(2)nanocomposites were synthesized via a sol-gel method integrated with an evaporation-induced self-assembly approach.The basic physicochemical characteristics of the synthetic samples were analyzed via a series of characterization techniques.The results reveal that C-S and Ce codoping on mesoporous TiO_(2)enhances the photocatalytic activity owing to the synergistic effect caused by narrowing the band gap,enhancing adsorption,trapping and transferring the excited e^(-)/h^(+)pairs and suppressing the recombination of e^(-)/h^(+)pairs.Furthermore,the obtained C,S-TiO_(2)/CeO_(2)materials exhibit large specific surface areas and numerous pores which not only effectively improve the adsorption-enrichment capability,but also supply multi-dimensional mass and electron transfer channels.The photodegradation efficiency of RhB by C,S-TiO_(2)/CeO_(2)within 40 min is nearly 100%,and its degradation efficiency is 6.63 times that of undoped TiO_(2).Recycling experiments show that mesoporous C,S-TiO_(2)/CeO_(2)shows excellent recoverability and stability.Furthermore,by trapping experiments,·O_(2)e^(-)/h^(+)and·OH are the predominant active species and a possible reaction mechanism is proposed.

文摘Improving catalytic performance is a yet still challenge in thermal catalytic oxidation.Herein,uniform mesoporous MnO_(2) nanospheresupported bimetallic Pt–Pd nanoparticles were successfully fabricated via a SiO_(2) template strategy for the total catalytic degradation of volatile organic compounds at low temperature.The introduction of mesopores into the MnO_(2) support induces a large specific surface area and pore size,thus providing numerous accessible active sites and enhanced diffusion properties.Moreover,the addition of a secondary noble metal can adjust the O_(ads)/O_(latt) molar ratios,resulting in high catalytic activity.Among them,the catalyst having a Pt/Pd molar ratio of 7:3 exhibits optimized catalytic activity at a weight hourly space velocity of 36,000 mL g^(-1) h^(-1),reaching 100%toluene oxidation at 175℃ with a lower activation energy(57.0 kJ mol^(-1))than the corresponding monometallic Pt or non-Pt-based catalysts(93.8 kJ mol^(-1) and 214.2 kJ mol^(-1)).Our findings demonstrate that the uniform mesoporous MnO_(2) nanosphere-supported bimetallic Pt–Pd nanoparticles catalyst is an effective candidate for application in elimination of toluene.
