The optical properties of nanoporous structured titanium dioxide and the photovoltaic efficiency on DSSC

This study examined the characterization of nanoporous structured titanium dioxide and its application to dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). TEM revealed nanopore sizes of 10.0 nm with a regular hexagonal form. When nanoporous structured TiO₂ was applied to DSSC, the energy conversion efficiency was enhanced considerably compared with that using nanometer sized TiO₂ prepared using a hydrothermal method. The energy conversion efficiency of the DSSC prepared from nanoporous structured TiO₂ was approximately 8.71% with the N719 dye under 100 mW cm⁻² simulated light. FT-IR spectroscopy showed that the dye molecules were attached perfectly to the surface and more dye molecules were absorbed on the nanoporous structured TiO₂ than on the nano-sized TiO₂ particles prepared using a conventional hydrothermal method. Electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) showed that the electrons were transferred rapidly to the surface of the nanoporous structured TiO₂ film.     

Photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide sputtered on a nanostructured substrate

The effective one-step physical approach is demonstrated for the fabrication of anatase titanium dioxide nanotubes through r.f. magnetron sputtering of TiO₂ on a highly ordered nanoporous anodic alumina template. The nanostructured TiO₂ benefited from the combination of unique properties of both the sputtering technique that provided well-controlled environment for the fabrication of anatase phase TiO₂ and the porous anodic alumina (PAA) that provided uniform and ordered nanopores. The photocatalytic properties of TiO₂ films were characterized following the degradation of methylene blue molecules under UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic activity of the nanostructured TiO₂ films has been found to be approximately twice higher in comparison with the flat TiO₂ films fabricated at the same conditions.     

STM observation of zinc(II) bridled chiroporphyrin molecules on titanium dioxide surface

Zinc bridled chiroporphyrin (ZnBCP-8) molecules on a rutile titanium dioxide (TiO₂)(110)-(1 × 1) surface were successfully observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The molecules were selectively adsorbed on the surface apparently due to a molecule-substrate interaction. The origin of the interaction is thought to be Coulomb force between molecule and oxygen vacancy on the TiO₂ surface. STM imaging revealed a selective molecular orientation on the TiO₂(110)-(1 × 1) structure. These results support the possibility of manipulating molecules on the surface and constructing well designed molecular structures by controlling the molecular-substrate and intermolecular interactions.     

Novel method for doping nano TiO2 photocatalysts by chemical vapour deposition

Highly active photocatalytic Fe-doped nano TiO₂ was successfully synthesised by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method using FeCl₃ as Fe source. CVD was carried out by evaporating FeCl₃ at 350°C in nitrogen flow during 30–90?min. The amount of Fe incorporated into TiO₂ framework is adjusted by the amount of FeCl₃ used and the evaporation time. The obtained sample was characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), UV-Vis, Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Photocatalytic activities of the samples were tested in photocatalytic decomposition of 2-propanol in liquid phase using visible light instead of UV light irradiation. Non-doped TiO₂ and high Fe loading TiO₂ samples showed very low photocatalytic activity, whereas the low Fe loading TiO₂ sample exhibited high photocatalytic activity under visible light. The high photocatalytic activity of this sample was rationalised by the existence of defects (Ti–OH groups) as the active sites.     

Influence of cobalt ion implantation on optical properties of titanium dioxide thin films

Nano-crystalline TiO₂ thin films were synthesized by using sol-gel and spin-coating techniques on glass substrates for photo-catalytic applications. Prior to deposition, a TiO₂ colloidal suspension was synthesized by microwave-induced thermal hydrolysis of the titanium tetrachloride aqueous solution. In this study, the deposited TiO₂ coating with a grain size of 13 ± 2 nm was uniform without aggregation. Co ion implantation into the as-calcined TiO₂ thin films was conducted with fluences of 1 × 10¹⁵-1 × 10¹⁶ doses/cm² at 40 keV. In addition to the emission of TiO₂, the photoluminescence study showed the presence of another Co-related optical center at 405 nm in the Co-implanted TiO₂ thin films. Due to the strong capability of forming impurity compounds between the energetic cobalt ions and TiO₂, the photoluminescence emission and UV-Vis absorption efficiencies were improved.     

The seeding effect on the microstructure and photocatalytic properties of ZnO nano powders

Nano sized ZnO powders, with suitable amount of TiO₂ (P25), have been successfully synthesized via a novel modified hydrothermal method by using zinc acetate. Titania nano powder plays an important role in fabrication of ZnO nano structure. The structure and morphology of the product were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, which show different morphologies and particle sizes. Photocatalytical properties of the product exhibit strong improvement in the reactivity of seeded powders. These powders have better properties because of coupling effect of semiconductors, small powder size and reduced recombination of electron-hole in the surface of a catalyst.     

TiO2@MWCNTS对环氧涂层性能的影响

为了比较多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTS)及二氧化钛包覆碳纳米管(TiO2@MWCNTS)杂化材料的性能,采用硅烷偶联剂(KH560)对MWCNTS以及TiO2@MWCNTS进行了改性,并利用红外分光光度计对其改性结果作了表征.制备了MWCNTS/epoxy、TiO2@MWCNTS/epoxy复合涂层,用BGD523 ABRASER型耐磨仪比较了其耐磨性,通过热重、抗冲击、高温高压以及MTS实验检测了质量分数2%时,MWCNTS/epoxy(2%)、TiO2@MWCNTS/epoxy(2%)复合涂层以及纯的epoxy的热稳定性及机械性能,利用扫描电镜观察了纳米粉体为2%时复合涂层的表面形貌.研究表明:对于含不同质量分数纳米粉体的MWCNTS/epoxy、TiO2@MWCNTS/epoxy的复合涂层,当其含量为2%时,其耐磨性达到最高;纳米材料的加入,对其热稳定性存在负面影响;TiO2@MWCNTS/epoxy(2%)复合涂层的机械性能较MWCNTS/epoxy(2%)有所提高.     

原位聚合法制备聚苯胺改性MoS2及其环氧复合涂层的防腐性能

为提高环氧涂料的防腐性能,本文引入MoS₂纳米片作为阻隔剂,并在MoS₂纳米片表面原位聚合聚苯胺(PANI),制备了夹层结构i-PANI@MoS₂纳米片,利用PANI提高涂层的导电性,达到阳极钝化的效果。研究发现,当PANI与MoS₂的摩尔配比增大到7∶1时,MoS₂片层表面被PANI均匀覆盖,改性效果最好。与环氧树脂复合后,i-PANI@MoS₂-7纳米片在环氧树脂中均匀分散,复合涂层导电率提高,PANI与MoS₂起到了协同防腐作用,此时i-PANI@MoS₂纳米片既作为涂层中的阻隔剂,又作为电化学腐蚀保护剂,因此复合涂层具有最大的阻抗值、最大腐蚀电压以及最小的腐蚀电流密度,防腐性能优异。但PANI与MoS₂配比进一步增大,MoS₂纳米片表面的聚苯胺会发生团聚,导致复合涂层的防腐性能下降。     

Nanocrystalline titanium dioxide sensitised with natural dyes for eco-friendly solar cell application

Indigenously available natural dyes have been used as natural sensitisers for dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) in this study. The chlorophyll extract from Azadirachta indica (Neem) leaves and anthocyanin extract from poinsettia bracts were obtained using ethanol. Nanoparticles of TiO₂ having an average size of 80 nm were deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass using the electrophoretic deposition method. Counter electrode was prepared by spraying conductive graphite over FTO glass substrates. A sandwich-type cell was assembled, and the fill factor and the power conversion efficiency were measured under a light source simulating AM 1.5 with an intensity of 100 mW/cm². DSSCs containing chlorophyll and anthocyanin exhibited open circuit voltages of 404 and 406 mV with fill factors of 40.1% and 45.8%, respectively. The mixture of the two natural dyes as sensitiser for DSSCs gave the best photovoltaic conversion efficiency of approximately 1%.     

The gas sensitivity of nano TiO2-SnO2 film doped with Cd(II) ion

The nanocomposite oxide (0.2TiO₂-0.8SnO₂) doped with Cd²⁺ powder have been prepared and characterized by XRD and their gas-sensing sensitivity were characterized using gas sensing measurement. Experimental results show that, bicomponent nano anatase TiO₂ and rutile SnO₂ particulate thick film doped with Cd²⁺ behaves with good sensitivity to formaldehyde gas of 200 ppm in the air, and the optimum sensing temperature was reduced from 360 °C to 320 °C compared with the undoped Cd²⁺ thick film. The gas sensing thick films doped with Cd²⁺ also show good selectivity to formaldehyde among benzene, toluene, xylene and ammonia as disturbed gas and could be effectively used as an indoor formaldehyde sensor.
