利用铁、铜和硫掺杂TiO_(2)有效光催化转化甲酸

Effective photocatalytic conversion of formic acid using iron,copper and sulphate doped TiO_(2)

采用简单的溶胶-凝胶法在TiO_(2)中复合加入铜离子或铁离子和硫酸离子,并研究其甲酸光催化转化效果。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、N_(2)物理吸附(BET比表面积测量)、扫描和透射电子显微镜(SEM和TEM)、UV-Vis漫反射光谱(DRS)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对不同光催化剂的结构和形貌进行表征,以确定材料的理化性能与其对甲酸氧化的光催化效率之间的关系。结果显示,添加不同金属离子将导致催化剂之间的重要差异。硫酸化TiO_(2)/Cu(1%Cu)具有最佳的光催化效果,仅在5 min内就可获得100%的甲酸转化率。通过复合添加铜离子和硫酸可使催化剂获得良好的物理化学特性,使其在光催化反应中表现出优越的性能。

In this paper,the combined addition of copper or iron and sulphate ions onto TiO_(2) prepared by a simple sol-gel method is studied for formic acid photocatalytic conversion.A wide structural and morphological characterization of the different photocatalysts was performed by X-ray diffraction(XRD),N_(2)-physisorption for BET surface area measurements,scanning and transmission electronic microscopies(SEM and TEM),UV-Vis diffuse spectroscopy(DRS)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),in order to correlate the physico-chemical properties of the materials to their photocatalytic efficiencies for formic acid oxidation.Results have shown important differences among the catalysts depending on the metal added.Sulphated TiO_(2)/Cu(1%Cu)was the best photocatalyst obtaining about 100% formic acid conversion in only 5 min.The appropriate physico-chemical features of this photocatalyst,given by the addition of combined copper and sulphate ions,explain its excellence in photocatalytic reaction.
