Nitrogen-doped TiO2 nanotube array films with enhanced photocatalytic activity under various light sources

Highly ordered nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide (N-doped TiO(2)) nanotube array films with enhanced photocatalytic activity were fabricated by electrochemical anodization, followed by a wet immersion and annealing post-treatment. The morphology, structure and composition of the N-doped TiO(2) nanotube array films were investigated by FESEM, XPS, UV-vis and XRD. The effect of annealing temperature on the morphology, structures, photoelectrochemical property and photo-absorption of the N-doped TiO(2) nanotube array films was investigated. Liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry were applied to the analysis of the intermediates coming from the photocatalytic degradation of MO. The experimental results showed that there were four primary intermediates existing in the photocatalytic reaction. Compared with the pure TiO(2) nanotube array film, the N-doped TiO(2) nanotubes exhibited higher photocatalytic activity in degradating methyl orange into non-toxic inorganic products under both UV and simulated sunlight irradiation.

Synthesis and photocatalytic activity of N-doped TiO2/ZrO2 visible-light photocatalysts

Visible-light responsive N-doped ZrO₂/TiO₂ photocatalysts were synthesized via a sol–gel process. To obtain the optimum nitrogen doping content and operational conditions for photodegradation of NO, several key factors (including nitrogen doping, initial NO concentration, light intensity, reactor temperature, etc.) were investigated under both UV and visible light irradiation. Physical characterization of the photocatalysts was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The observed results suggest that nitrogen was doped in the lattice of TiO₂ and had an effect on the translation of phase, photodegradation activity, and visible-light response. Among synthesized photocatalysts, 0.1 M Zr and 0.15 M N supported on TiO₂ exhibited the best visible-light response and the highest NO photodegradation activity.     

Layer-by-layer assembly of TiO2 nanowire/carbon nanotube films and characterization of their photocatalytic activity

We report on the layer-by-layer (LbL) formation of TiO(2)-MWNT-TiO(2) coatings on quartz with either trititanate derived TiO(2) nanowires or Degussa P25 as the photocatalytically active material. The optimized deposition sequence is discussed in detail and the morphology of the prepared coatings is analyzed by SEM and XRD. The heterogeneous photocatalytic performance of the coatings was tested in the methyl orange oxidation reaction. The apparent first order rate constant fell in the 0.01-0.20 h(-1) range over a 2.5 × 2.5 cm(2) film depending on the type and the thickness of the titanate coating. Building a multiwall carbon nanotube layer into the middle of the layer improved the photocatalytic activity for each material for all of the studied thicknesses. P25 based films performed 2-5 times better than TiO(2) nanowire films; however, the pores in the P25 based films were largely blocked because the isotropic P25 nanoparticles form closely packed layers by themselves and even more so with the comparably sized multiwall carbon nanotubes. Therefore, films derived from titanate nanowires appear to be more suitable for use as multifunctional, photocatalytically active filtration media.

Preparation and photocatalytic activity of nanoglued Sn-doped TiO2

In this paper, Sn-doped TiO(2) photocatalyst was prepared and immobilized on a glass substrate using an about-to-gel SiO(2) sol as a nanoglue. The characterization of the Sn-doped TiO(2) by XRD showed that 5% Sn content is formed by anatase and rutile crystallites. Characterization of the nanoglued photocatalyst by the BET measurement, TEM, and SEM showed that the photocatalyst was a nanoporous material with a high-surface area. The Sn-doped TiO(2) was uniformly dispersed within the three-dimensional network of the silica in the form of nanoparticles. The nanoglued photocatalyst showed high photocatalytic activity during the degradation of penicillin under UV light. The effect of different Sn content on the amount of hydroxyl radical was discussed by using salicylic acid as probe molecules. The results show that an appropriate amount of Sn dopant can greatly increase the amount of hydroxyl radicals generated by TiO(2) nanoparticles, which are responsible for the obvious increase of photocatalytic activity.

Visible-light absorption and photocatalytic activity of Cr-doped TiO2 nanocrystal films

Chromium doped titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanocrystal films with various doping concentration have been successfully prepared by a sol–gel dip-coating process. These films have been characterized by XRD, XPS, AFM, and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy. It is found that Cr doping can effectively reduce the transition temperature of anatase to rutile phase as well as the grain size. The absorption edges of TiO₂ thin films shift towards longer wavelengths (i.e. red shifted) from 375 nm to about 800 nm with increasing Cr concentration, which greatly enhances TiO₂ nano-materials on the absorption of solar spectrum. The appearance of UV–vis absorption features in the visible region can be ascribed to the newly formed energy levels such as Cr 2p level and oxygen vacancy state between the valence and the conduction bands in the TiO₂ band structure. The enhancement of the photocatalytic properties is observed for Cr-doped TiO₂ thin film.     

Enhancement in the photocatalytic activity of Ag loaded N-doped TiO2 nanocomposite under sunlight

A N-doped titania–silver nanocomposites have been prepared by simple microwave assisted and impregnation–reduction method for the first time. As synthesized nanocomposites with different Ag contents were characterized for their phase purity, morphology, particle size, optical properties and elemental composition. It is found that N-doped TiO₂ silver nanocomposites are pure in anatase phase with an average crystallite size of 10 nm. The catalyst was tested for dye degradation and photodegradation efficiency was found to be 99.6 and 88.7 % within 90 min under UV and sunlight respectively. A 40 % enhancement in the photodegradation efficiency was achieved by Ag loading in comparison with the N-TiO₂ under sunlight. The fluorescence quenching of Ag loaded N-TiO₂ indicates decrease in rate of electron–hole pair recombination that enhances photocatalytic performance. The effects of photocatalytic operational parameters such as method of surface modification, catalyst loading and irradiation sources on the photodegradation of methyl orange were also investigated.
