Hollow hybrid titanate/Au@TiO 2 hierarchical architecture consisting of titanate and anatase titanium dioxide (TiO 2) loaded with Au nanoparticles was prepared via a sol-impregnation method combined with a hydrothermal etching process. The titanate/Au@TiO 2 architecture possesses unique hollow spherical configuration with Au nanoparticles loaded in the middle of titanate and TiO 2 shells and allows to be used as a microreactor for photocatalytic application. The hybrid titanate/Au@TiO 2 photocatalyst shows significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity on degradation of methylorange (MO) under UV light irradiation due to the lower electron–hole pairs recombination rate arisen from the synergistic effect of titanate-Au-TiO 2 in hybrid hierarchical architecture. 相似文献

Graphene film was formed on the surface of titanium dioxide nanotube (TiO 2 NT) arrays through in situ electrochemical reduction of a graphene oxide dispersion by cyclic voltammetry. The residual oxygen-containing groups and other structural defects such as sp 3-hybridized carbons in the electrodeposited graphene were further removed by photo-assisted reduction of the underlying TiO 2 NTs, thus achieving the maximum restoration of π-conjugation in the graphene planes. Spectroscopic, electrochemical, and photoelectrochemical techniques were used to characterize the graphene films, and the use of the resulting graphene–TiO 2 NT material in photocatalysis was investigated. The results showed that the graphene–TiO 2 NT material exhibited a greatly improved photocatalytic activity compared with unmodified TiO 2 NTs. 相似文献

A multifunctional Ag/TiO 2/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) ternary nanocomposite was prepared by a one-step photochemical reaction with TiO 2 and Ag nanoparticles successively deposited on reduced graphene oxide. The structure, morphology, composition, optical, and photoelectrochemical properties of Ag/TiO 2/rGO were investigated in detail. Meanwhile, the ternary nanocomposite possessed much higher adsorption capacity to organic dyes compared with bare TiO 2 and binary Ag/TiO 2, which would help to its use for surface-enhanced Raman scattering detection and photocatalytic degradation. Due to the charge transfer between rGO and organic dyes and enhanced electromagnetic mechanism of Ag, Ag/TiO 2/rGO nanocomposites as surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrates demonstrated dramatically improved sensitivity and good uniformity. The detection limit of rhodamine 6G (R6G) was as low as 10 −9 mol/L, and the relative standard deviation values of the intensities remained below 5%. Most importantly, the synergistic coupling effect of three components extended the photoresponse range and accelerated separation of the electron-hole pairs, leading to greatly improved photocatalytic activity under simulated sunlight. The maximum rate constant ( k, 0.06243 min −1) of Ag/TiO 2/rGO was 50 and four times higher than that of TiO 2 and Ag/TiO 2, respectively. 相似文献

TiO 2/graphene‐MWCNT nanocomposite was prepared using solvothermal reaction for the effective distribution of TiO 2 nanoparticles on carbonaceous materials. TiO 2/graphene‐MWCNT nanocomposite was immobilized in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix for a convenient recovery after wastewater purification. MWCNT was incorporated in a nanocomposite not only to prevent the restacking of graphene but also to increase the electron transfer from TiO 2. The detailed characterization of the nanocomposite was performed using SEM, EDX, XRD, XPS, and FTIR. The photocatalytic performance of PVA/TiO 2/graphene‐MWCNT nanocomposite was investigated by UV spectroscopy on the basis of degradation of organic pollutants. PVA/TiO 2/graphene‐MWCNT nanocomposite showed improved photocatalytic decomposition of more than 70% of residual dye left in case of using PVA/TiO 2/graphene nanocomposite due to the improved electron transfer and the higher adsorption of organic pollutants. PVA/TiO 2/graphene‐MWCNT nanocomposite was suitable as a promising material for the recyclable photocatalytic wastewater purification system. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

In this study, hierarchical titanium dioxide (TiO 2) microspheres with controlled morphology derived from calcination treatment of hierarchical titanate microspheres were fabricated. The obtained hierarchical TiO 2 microspheres with diameters of 1 to 2 µm were composed of polycrystalline anatase nanosheets with thickness of 10 nm. The morphology was manipulated by simply adjusting the molar ratio of tetrabutyl titanate/P123. At a low molar ratio of 17.04, TiO 2 microspheres composed of a large number of nanosheets closely packed together were obtained. At a high molar ratio of 34.08, TiO 2 hybrid architectures with polycrystalline anatase hierarchical microspheres and single-crystal anatase mesoporous (approximately 5 nm) nanospheres were obtained. Investigations on evolution formation revealed that P123 played a key role in the formation of a well-defined hierarchical structure. The photocatalytic performances of the obtained samples were investigated by the degradation of methylene blue and papermaking wastewater. When compared with commercial P25, the obtained hierarchical TiO 2 microspheres exhibit superior photocatalytic activity, high degradation efficiency, and good reproducibility. The product with hybrid architectures exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. The chemical oxygen demand and the chroma removal rate of papermaking wastewater achieved 85.5 and 100%, respectively, after 12 h of photodegradation. 相似文献

This work explores the effect of ternary nanostructure for the enhanced photocatalytic degradation of pollutants and dyes. One-pot solvothermal-assisted approach was used for producing nanosized Pt@TiO2 hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) decorated on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) layers. The microstructure, morphology, chemical composition, and optical absorption of the designed photocatalyst was successfully characterized (using XRD, TEM, Raman, UV–visible absorption spectra, and XPS techniques). The ternary Pt@TiO2-rGO photocatalyst consist of monodisperse quasi-spherical Pt@TiO2 NPs with an average size of 11 nm deposited on the rGO nanosheets. Furthermore, Pt@TiO2-rGO was further investigated for the photodegradation of pesticide and dyes under UV and visible light. The ternary Pt@TiO2-rGO photocatalyst proved a significant improvement on the photodecomposition of pollutants compared to hybrid Pt@TiO2. The Pt@TiO2-rGO photocatalyst was found to show seven- and threefold increase in the photocatalytic activity compared to TiO2 and Pt@TiO2 NPs, respectively which resulted from the high surface area of rGO and as well as the strong Pt/TiO2/rGO interactions which ensured excellent properties of charge separation. On the other hand, the ternary photocatalyst exhibited very good recycle and reuse capacity up to five cycles. 相似文献

We report the synthesis of graphene–TiO 2 (G–TiO 2) composite films that exhibit significantly enhanced photoelectrochemical water‐splitting performance relative to pure TiO 2. Supersonic kinetic spraying was used to produce strongly adhered, electrically and mechanically robust G–TiO 2 composite films containing 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 5.0 wt.% graphene. Films with an intermediate graphene content of 1.0 wt.% demonstrated the best water‐splitting performance. G–TiO 2 composite films with 1.0 wt.% graphene exhibited photocurrent density ten times that of pure TiO 2 films. The electron transfer between TiO 2 and graphene suppresses the recombination of photoinduced charge carriers and prolongs the electron excited‐state lifetime, which contributes to the enhanced photoelectrochemical water‐splitting performance. 相似文献

Developing interfacial connections is one of the breakthrough strategies to improve the photocatalytic activity of graphene/p-n heterojunction systems. Herein, natural tragacanth mucilage, for the first time, was employed as cost-effective and ecofriendly surfactant to prepare highly efficient ZnO–ZnBi 2O 4/graphene hybrid photocatalyst. The results indicated that the methylene blue (MB) photocatalytic degradation efficiency of ZnO–ZnBi 2O 4/graphene-mucilage heterojunction, containing 10 wt% ZnBi 2O 4 and 1 wt% graphene, was ~1.2, 1.4, 3.1 and 8.3 times higher than that of ZnO–ZnBi 2O 4/graphene, ZnO–ZnBi 2O 4, ZnBi 2O 4 and ZnO samples, respectively. This significant improvement in the photocatalytic performance could be mainly ascribed to the desirable advantages of using natural mucilage as surfactant, including uniform distribution of ZnO–ZnBi 2O 4 nanoparticles on the surface of graphene sheets, increasing of the effective surface area, and improving of the charge carriers separation. Based on the trapping experiments, electron spin resonance and photoelectrochemical Mott-Schottky tests, direct Z-Scheme charge transfer mechanism with hydroxyl radicals as main active species was suggested for photocatalytic degradation of MB on the ZnO–ZnBi 2O 4/graphene-mucilage nanocomposite. This study provides a new insight to fabricate more homogeneous and close contact interfaces in graphene-based hybrid photocatalytic systems for environmental remediation. 相似文献

TiO 2 nanowire/nanotube electrodes were synthesized by anodization of titanium foils in ethylene glycol solution containing 0.5 wt% NH 4F and 1 wt% water at 60 V for 6 h. The microstructure and morphology of the asprepared electrodes were investigated by XRD and SEM. A possible formation mechanism and oxidation parameters of nanocomposite structure were discussed. The relationship between structural characteristics of TiO 2 nanowire/nanotube electrodes and its photoelectrochemical characterization were evaluated by electrochemical analyzer and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) solution. Furthermore, these TiO 2 nanowire/nanotube electrodes promoted the photoelectrochemical characterization due to the larger surface areas, enhanced light harvesting and electron transport rate. The results show that photocurrent density of 1.44mA/cm 2 and photocatalytic degradation of 95.51% was achieved for TiO 2 nanowire/nanotube electrodes, which were 0.55mA/cm 2 and 20.52% higher than the TiO 2 nanotube electrodes under a similar condition, respectively. 相似文献

ABSTRACTIn this study, mesoporous CdO–graphene and mesoporous TiO 2 were successfully synthesized using a facile method. The results indicated that photocatalytic activity can be enhanced with the combination of mesoporous CdO–graphene and mesoporous TiO 2. The photocatalytic performance of the mesoporous CdO–graphene–TiO 2 photocatalyst presents significantly improved photocatalytic activity of safranine O, reactive black B, and GA due to the improvement of the surface area and the small average pore size distribution of the as-prepared mesoporous CdO–graphene–TiO 2. The photodegradation rate was optimized by safranine O at a pH solution of 11 and by GA at the dosage amount of 0.07 g photocatalyst. 相似文献

Novel photocatalysts based on silver (Ag), TiO 2, and graphene were successfully synthesized by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The influence of silver loading and graphene incorporation on photocatalytic hydrogen (H 2) production of as-prepared samples was investigated in methanolic aqueous solution under visible light irradiation (λ≥420 nm). The results showed that Ag–TiO 2/graphene composite had appreciably enhanced photocatalytic H 2 production performance under visible light illumination compared to pure TiO 2, Ag–TiO 2 and TiO 2/graphene samples. The enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production activity of Ag–TiO 2/graphene composite under visible light irradiation could be attributed to increased visible light absorption, reduced recombination of photogenerated charge carriers and high specific surface area. This novel study provides more insight for the development of novel visible light responsive TiO 2− graphene based photocatalysts for energy applications. 相似文献

A novel method was developed to synthesize graphite oxide/TiO 2 composites as a highly efficient photocatalyst by in situ depositing TiO 2 nanoparticles on graphene oxide nano-sheets by a liquid phase deposition, followed by a calcination treatment at 200 °C. The two-dimensional porous graphene oxide/TiO 2 composites had specific surface area of 80 m 2 g −1 being considerably larger than that of P25 and the similarly prepared neat TiO 2 particles without using graphene oxide. The composites exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity, being influenced by post-calcination temperature, graphene oxide content and solution pH. Under optimal conditions, the photo-oxidative degradation rate of methyl orange and the photo-reductive conversion rate of Cr(VI) over the composites were as high as 7.4 and 5.4 times that over P25, respectively. The excellent enhancing effect of graphene oxide nano-sheets on the photocatalytic properties of TiO 2 was attributed to a thin two-dimensional sheet support, a large surface area and much increased adsorption capacity, and the strong electron transfer ability of the thermally reduced graphene oxide in the composite. 相似文献

We report the development of TiO 2/graphene/poly(acrylamide) superporous hybrid by a radical polymerization reaction and explore its environmental application as photocatalyst of organic pollutants. During the polymerization reaction, graphene nanosheets and TiO 2 nanoparticles homogeneously distribute on the hydrogel, in which TiO 2 nanoparticles with a uniform size are densely anchored onto graphene and self-assembled into different structures with various graphene contents. The resultant TiO 2/graphene/poly(acrylamide) superporous hybrid experiences tremendous adsorption toward dye pollution before photodegradation, and it also displays similar photodecomposition efficiency with pristine TiO 2. Moreover, the TiO 2/graphene/poly(acrylamide) superporous hybrid is recyclable, which demonstrates the potential of hybrid as an attractive photocatalyst for wastewater treatment. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel nanoscale GR–Nd/TiO 2 composite photocatalyst was synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Its crystal structure, surface morphology, chemical composition and optical properties were studied using XRD, TEM, and XPS, DRS and PL spectroscopy. It was found that graphene and neodymium modification shifts the absorption edge of TiO 2 to visible-light region. The results of photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra show that GR–Nd/TiO 2 composites possess better charge separation capability than do Nd/TiO 2 and pure TiO 2. The photocatalytic activity of prepared samples was investigated by degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye under visible light irradiation. The results show that the GR–Nd/TiO 2 composite can effectively photodegrade MO, showing an impressive photocatalytic activity enhancement over that of pure TiO 2. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the composite catalyst might be attributed to the large adsorptivity of dyes, extended light absorption range and efficient charge separation due to Nd doping and graphene incorporation. 相似文献

Lactic acid, a well-known substance causing dental caries, was dissolved in water and completely oxidized into CO 2 and H 2O on a powdered TiO 2 photocatalyst under UV light irradiation. Furthermore, a unique photoelectrochemical circuit system consisting of a rod-type
TiO 2 electrode and counter electrode connected through a silicon solar cell was constructed and its photocatalytic activity for
the decomposition of lactic acid was investigated. The photoelectrochemical circuit system was found to effectively mineralize
the lactic acid in water into CO 2 while the negative bias applied on the rod-type TiO 2 electrode enhanced the photocatalytic decomposition rate of the lactic acid. 相似文献

Photocathodic protection coatings have been widely applied in various areas such as ship and architectural protection, or chemical industry. In this work, a composite of titanium dioxide loaded with reduced graphene oxide (RGO/TiO 2) was prepared and used as filler on waterborne polyacrylate (PA) coating to reinforce the metal protection against corrosion. Compared with the current filler of zinc phosphate used for anticorrosive coating, the photoelectrochemical properties of RGO/TiO 2-PA coating exhibit improved photocathodic protection under visible light illumination since RGO/TiO 2 composite has significant superiority in enhancing metal protection due to its dispersion, micropore blocking ability, and photoelectrochemical conversion performance. The mechanism of anticorrosion reinforcement of RGO/TiO 2-PA coating was hypothesized that graphene provides an extrabarrier layer to obstruct corrosive in dark condition and photocathodic protection under lighting. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A hybrid material of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets decorated with CdS-TiO 2 NPs was prepared through a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. The assembly of CdS-TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) on RGO sheets was in-situ produced. As-synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy disperse X-ray spectrum (EDS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The obtained nanocomposites exhibited a good photocatalytic activity for the visible-light-induced decomposition of methylene blue (MB) dye and hydrolysis of ammonia borane. The results showed that by incorporation of CdS and TiO 2 NPs on graphene oxide sheets the photocatalytic efficiency was enhanced. The significant enhancement in the photocatalytic activity of CdS-TiO 2/RGO nanocomposites under visible light irradiation can be ascribed to the effect of CdS by acting as electron traps in TiO 2 band gap. Reduced graphene oxide worked as the adsorbent, electron acceptor and a photo-sensitizer to efficiently enhance the dye photo decomposition. Such nanocomposite photocatalyst might find potential application in a wide range of fields, including hydrogen energy generation, air purification, and wastewater treatment. 相似文献

Fe-doped TiO 2 (Fe-TiO 2) nanorods were prepared by an impregnating-calcination method using the hydrothermally prepared titanate nanotubes as precursors and Fe(NO 3) 3 as dopant. The as-prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherms and UV–vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the photocatalytic oxidation of acetone in air under visible-light irradiation. The results show that Fe-doping greatly enhance the visible-light photocatalytic activity of mesoporous TiO 2 nanorods, and when the atomic ratio of Fe/Ti ( RFe) is in the range of 0.1–1.0%, the photocatalytic activity of the samples is higher than that of Degussa P25 and pure TiO 2 nanorods. At RFe = 0.5%, the photocatalytic activity of Fe-TiO 2 nanorods exceeds that of Degussa P25 by a factor of more than two times. This is ascribed to the fact that the one-dimensional nanostructure can enhance the transfer and transport of charge carrier, the Fe-doping induces the shift of the absorption edge into the visible-light range with the narrowing of the band gap and reduces the recombination of photo-generated electrons and holes. Furthermore, the first-principle density functional theory (DFT) calculation further confirms the red shift of absorption edges and the narrowing of band gap of Fe-TiO 2 nanorods. 相似文献

In this study, we developed an immobilized TiO 2 semiconductor on an ITO glass substrate (TiO 2/ITO) and investigated its photocatalytic and electrochemical performance. The TiO 2/ITO samples were prepared via a spin-coating process followed by calcination and were used for the photocatalytic or electrochemical degradation of an organic dye pollutant. The measured photocatalytic performance was comparable to that reported in previous publications; however, a remarkable result was obtained in our electrochemical system. The formation of hydroxyl radicals (OH) strongly dominated the electrochemical system, which resulted in outstanding degradation performance. Therefore, we propose a commercializable photoelectrochemical system that can maximize the degradation of pollutants in wastewater treatment plants. 相似文献

Preparation of visible-light active photocatalysts for efficient degradation of pollutants from the industrial wastewater has received considerable attention in recent decades. The present study introduces a new sonochemical route for the preparation of graphene/TiO 2/Ag nanocomposite for visible-light photocatalytic degradation of X6G (C.I. Reactive Yellow 2), a commonly used textile azo-dye. The obtained graphene/TiO 2/Ag nanocomposite is extracted from the reaction solution by two drying methods: (1) conventional centrifuging and drying, and (2) freeze drying. Both of the dried samples are calcinated at 500 °C. The TEM images reveal that distribution of TiO 2/Ag nanoparticles within the graphene sheets in the freeze dried nanocomposite is better than the conventional dried sample. Furthermore, the freeze dried nanocomposite has higher photocatalytic activity than the other nanocomposite. In conventional centrifuging and drying method, some of the TiO 2/Ag nanoparticles are gradually pushed out from the graphene sheets during the drying process and graphene layers are stacked, therefore the dispersion effect of sonication is destroyed. However, in the freeze dried nanocomposite, because of the fast freezing of the sonicated sample by liquid N 2, the TiO 2/Ag nanoparticles are kept between the graphene sheets and calcination process attached and fixed them to the graphene, preserving the dispersion effect of sonication. 相似文献
