Direct formation of reusable TiO2/CoFe2O4 heterogeneous photocatalytic fibers via two-spinneret electrospinning

A reusable photocatalytic TiO2/CoFe2O4 composite nanofiber was directly formed by using a vertical two-spinneret electrospinning process and sol-gel method, followed by heat treatment at 550 degrees C for 2 h. The high photocatalytic activity of the composite nanofibers depends on the good morphology of the fibers and the appropriate calcination temperature. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the fibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The photocatalytic activity of the TiO2/CoFe2O4 fibers was investigated through ultraviolet-visible absorbance following the photo-oxidative decomposition of phenol. Meanwhile, the presence of CoFe2O4 not only broadens the response region of visible light, but also enhances the absorbance of UV light. Furthermore, these fibers displayed photocatalytic activity associated with magnetic activity of CoFe2O4 ferrites, allowing easy separated of the photocatalysts after the photo-oxidative process and effectively avoided the secondary pollution of the treated water.     

Preparation and photocatalytic properties of nanometer-sized magnetic TiO2/SiO2/CoFe2O4 composites

Magnetic TiO2/SiO2/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles (TiO2/SCFs) were prepared by a sol-gel process in a reverse microemulsion combined with solvent-thermal technique. TiO2/SCFs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectrometry, TEM, BET specific surface area measurement, and magnetic analysis. Structure analyses indicated that TiO2/SCFs presented a core-shell structure with TiO2 uniformly coating on SiO2/CoFe2O4 nanomagnets (SCFs) and typical ferromagnetic hysteresis. TiO2/SCFs showed larger specific surface area and better photocatalytic activities than TiO2 and TiO2/CoFe2O4 photocatalysts prepared by the same method. The doping interaction between TiO2 and CoFe2O4 reduced thanks to the inert SiO2 mesosphere.

The results showed that the dopant of Ce could affect the absorbance ability and photo-response range. The sample containing 1.0 wt% CeO(2-y) exhibited the highest degradation with 35% for MB under simulate solar light irradiation. Furthermore, the as-synthesized composite photocatalytic nanofibers could be separated easily by an external magnetic field, thus it might hold potential for application in wastewater treatment.

Photocatalytic activity of Ag-TiO2 nanoparticles encapsulated with titanium oxide layer

The deposition of nanosized Ag on the TiO2 matrix was first prepared by the sonochemical reduction of silver precursor and the Ag-deposited TiO2 was subsequently encapsulated with titanium oxide layer through an ultrasonic-assisted sol-gel process. The resulting Ag-TiO2 nanocomposites (Ag-TiO2@TiOx) exhibited the lower PL spectra and higher photocatalytic activity as compared to pristine TiO2, indicating the increased separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs at the optimal thickness of TiOx. The excessive encapsulation of TiOx, however, induced the decrease of photocatalytic activity of Ag-TiO2@TiOx owing to the formation of amorphous titanium oxide with less photocatalytic activity. The annealed Ag-TiO2@TiOx at 500 degrees C for 2 hrs exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity as compared to non-annealed samples because of the partial transformation of amorphous TiOx into crystalline TiO2.

The effects of synthesis procedures on the morphology and photocatalytic activity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes/TiO(2) nanocomposites

This study investigates the microstructures of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)/TiO(2) nanocomposites, obtained by sol-gel and hydrothermal processes. The synthesized nanocomposite materials were characterized by x-ray diffractometry (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) adsorption analysis, transmittance electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of the synthetic procedures and MWNTs on the morphology and photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposites were studied. The photocatalytic activity of the MWNTs/TiO(2) nanocomposite was elucidated based on the photooxidation of NO(x) under UV light illumination. A fleck-like and well dispersed TiO(2) microstructure on the surface of the MWNTs was observed in the sol-gel system, while compact and large aggregated particles were found in the hydrothermal procedure. The nanocomposite prepared by the sol-gel system exhibits better photocatalytic activity for NO oxidation (from 20.52 to 32.14%) than that prepared by the hydrothermal method (from 22.58 to 26.51%) with the same MWNT loading (from 0 to 8?wt%), respectively. The optimal MWNT content in the nanocomposite was considered at 8?wt%. Additionally, results confirm that the introduction of MWNTs will cause the NO(2) to be more consumed than NO in the photocatalytic experiments, leading to more complete NO(x) photooxidation. These observations indicate that the different TiO(2) distributions on the MWNT surfaces and MWNT contents in the materials would determine the morphology, the physicochemical and photocatalytic characteristics for the nanocomposite materials.
