Microstructure characterization and photocatalytic activity of mesoporous TiO2 films with ultrafine anatase nanocrystallites

A series of mesoporous TiO₂ films on borosilicate glass with ultrafine anatase nanocrystallites were successfully synthesized using a non-acidic sol gel preparation route, which involves the use of nonionic surfactant Tween 20 as template through a self assembly pathway. The microstructure of these TiO₂ films was characterized by XRD, SEM, HR-TEM, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherm analysis. Their photocatalytic activities were investigated by using creatinine as a model organic contaminate in water. It was found that all mesoporous TiO₂ films prepared with Tween 20 exhibited a partially ordered mesoporous structure. The photocatalytic activity of the TiO₂ films could be remarkably improved by increasing Tween 20 loading in the sol at the range of 50% (v/v), which yielded large amount of catalyst (anatase) on the glass support and enhanced specific surface area. The optimum Tween 20 loading was 50% (v/v) in the sol, above which good adhesion between TiO₂ films and borosilicate glass could not be maintained. The final TiO₂ film (Tween 20: final sol = 50%,v/v) exhibits high BET surface area (∼ 120 m²/g) and pore volume (0.1554 cm³/g), ultrafine anatase nanocrystallinity (7 nm), uniform and crack free surface morphology, and improved photocatalytic activity.

Modification of Parylene film-coated glass with TiO2 nanoparticles and its photocatalytic properties

A titania film was deposited on Parylene-coated glass by a one-step, ultrasound-assisted procedure. The TiO₂ nanoparticles formed during the sonochemical hydrolysis of Ti(i-OPr)₄ were thrown to the surface and strongly attached to the Parylene substrate. By using different solvents (water, ethanol or their mixture) and reagent concentrations, the thickness, uniformity and crystallinity of the deposited layer were regulated. PVP was used to stabilize the highly homogeneous distribution of TiO₂ nanocrystals on the Parylene surface. The morphology and structure of the coated films were characterized by physical and chemical methods such as: X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), and optical spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the titania-modified Parylene film in the photo discoloration of methylene blue was demonstrated. The experimental results revealed a correlation between the uniformity of the nanostructured anatase titania film and its photocatalytic properties.     

Modification of TiO2 nanorods by Bi2MoO6 nanoparticles for high performance visible-light photocatalysis

In this work, TiO₂ nanorods were prepared by a hydrothermal process and then Bi₂MoO₆ nanoparticles were deposited onto the TiO₂ nanorods by a solvothermal process. The nanostructured Bi₂MoO₆/TiO₂ composites were extensively characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the Bi₂MoO₆/TiO₂ composites was evaluated by degradation of methylene blue. The Bi₂MoO₆/TiO₂ composites exhibit higher catalytic activity than pure Bi₂MoO₆ and TiO₂ for degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm). Further investigation revealed that the ratio of Bi₂MoO₆ to TiO₂ in the composites greatly influenced their photocatalytic activity. The experimental results indicated that the composite with Bi₂MoO₆:TiO₂ = 1:3 exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. The enhancement mechanism of the composite catalysts was also discussed.     

High transmittance and superhydrophilicity of porous TiO2/SiO2 bi-layer films without UV irradiation

In order to obtain the TiO₂ films with high transmittance and superhydrophilicity without UV irradiation, porous TiO₂/SiO₂ bi-layer films were prepared by spin coated SiO₂ sol and TiO₂ sol including polyethylene glycol 2000 (PEG 2000) onto glass and subsequent calcination at 550 °C. Meanwhile, factors that affect the TiO₂/SiO₂ bi-layer films transmittance and superhydrophilicity were investigated in details by observing their surface morphologies and measuring their water contact angles (WCAs), spreading time and transmittances. The results indicated that the as-prepared TiO₂/SiO₂ bi-layer film showed superhydrophilicity without UV irradiation when 0.5 wt.% PEG 2000 was added in TiO₂ sol. At the same time, its maximum transmittance was as high as 92.3%. The spreading time was only about 0.16 s. More importantly, the resultant film had an excellent stability of the superhydrophilic property.     

Electrodeposition of sol-enhanced nanostructured Ni-TiO2 composite coatings

A novel electroplating method has been developed to produce nanocrystalline metal-matrix nano-structured composite coatings. A small amount of transparent TiO₂ sol was added into the traditional electroplating Ni solution, leading to the formation of nanocrystalline Ni-TiO₂ composite coatings. These coatings have a smooth surface. The Ni nodules changed from traditional pyramid-like shape to spherical shape. The grain size of Ni was also significantly reduced to the level of 50 nm. It was found that the amorphous anatase TiO₂ nano-particles (∼ 10 nm) were highly dispersed in the coating matrix. The microhardness was significantly increased from 320 HV₁₀₀ of the traditional Ni coating to 430 HV₁₀₀ of the novel composite coating with 3.26 wt.% TiO₂. Correspondingly, the wear resistance of the composite coating was improved by ∼ 50%.

TiO2-g-C3N4 composite materials for photocatalytic H2 evolution under visible light irradiation

In this investigation, we report the preparation of TiO₂-g-C₃N₄ composite materials with varying the wt.% of g-C₃N₄, the characterization of these materials by various techniques and photocatalytic hydrogen production under visible light irradiation in the presence of methanol. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) shows that the composite materials are consist of anatase TiO₂ and g-C₃N₄. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra show that the absorbance band intensity of composite materials was stronger than that of C₃N₄. The UV-vis absorption spectra show that the absorption edge of the composite materials shifts to the lower energy region comparing to pure anatase and to longer wavelengths with increasing the amount of C₃N₄. The significant photoluminescence quenching was observed in TiO₂-C₃N₄ composite materials, indicating the charge transfer from C₃N₄ to TiO₂. The visible light induced H₂ evolution rate was remarkably enhanced by coupling TiO₂ with C₃N₄.     

Micro-arc oxidation of TC4 substrates to fabricate TiO2/YAG:Ce compound films with enhanced photocatalytic activity

This paper introduces a process for “in situ” preparing TiO₂ photocatalytic film compounded with YAG:Ce³⁺ semiconductor upon titanium alloy by using micro-arc oxidation (MAO). The surface morphology, chemical compositions, phase structures and photocatalytic properties of the films were characterized and measured by field emission gun scanning electron microscope (FEG-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), electro-chemical workstation and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The results show that the YAG:Ce³⁺ semiconductor particles which were added in the electrolyte had been homogenously compounded within the TiO₂ film during MAO. Compared with the pure TiO₂ film, the compounded film exhibited much larger specific surface area, stronger absorption in the visible light and higher photo-generated current density, which improves the photocatalytic property markedly. It is expected that MAO will provide a simple, economic and promising approach for preparing a superior photocatalytic TiO₂ film.
