The prepared fibers were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis （TGA）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FT-IR）. Using the fibers as catalysts, photoeatalytic degradation of Methylene Blue （MB） aqueous solution was carded out under simulated sunlight. The 0.2% Ce doping proved to be the optimal concentration for the doping of TiO2/SiO2, compared to other Ce-doped molar concentrations. The 0.2% Ce-doped SiOdTiO2 fibers exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than industrial Degussa P25 and the samples doped with only Ce or SIO2. The reasons for improving the photocatalytic activity were also discussed. Several operational parameters were studied, which showed that the photocatalytic efficiency of MB was influenced by parameters such as the initial dye concentration, the initial pH, inorganic anions, and so on. In addition, the influences of an electron acceptor and a radical scavenger suggested that OH was the dominant photooxidant during the photocatalytic process. The reuse evaluation of the fibers indicated that their photocatalytic activity had good stability.展开更多

TiO2 colloids were synthesized employing the sol-gel method with TiChas a precursor. The samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, SEM, EDS, XPS, and XRD. The experimental results show that TiO2 nanopowders on the surface of SiO2 particles are well distributed, the amount of TiO2 is increased with the adding of coating layers, the pure anatase-TiO2 coating layers are synthesized at 500℃, and the photocatalytic activity of Fe^3＋-doped TiO2/SiO2 is higher than that of undoped TiO2/SiO2.展开更多

Water completely spread on TiO 2 surface within 3 s and its dynamic contact angles can be expressed by a power law θ d= k(t+a) -n with the n value 0.98. Less than 50%(molar fraction) SiO 2 addition can accelerate the dynamic water spreading rate on the TiO 2 SiO 2 films and the optimum molar fraction of SiO 2 amount corresponding to as annealed, air plasma, and UV irradiation treatment process is 15%, 10% and 20%, respectively.展开更多

The effect of adding SiO 2 on the crystal structure, specific surface area, oxygen adsorption, and acidity of SO 2- 4/TiO 2 catalyst and its photocatalytic property for degradation of bromomethane was studied. The results showed that the specific surface area and amount of oxygen adsorption of catalyst were increased by addition of SiO 2, leading to the obvious increase on photocatalytic activity of SO 2- 4/TiO 2 SiO 2 catalysts and mineralization ratio of bromomethane. Comparing with SO 2- 4/TiO 2, the acidic strength and anti moisture ability of SO 2- 4/TiO 2 SiO 2 catalyst were decreased.展开更多
