Mechanism and behaviors of Cr3+-doped TiO2

TiO2 powder and TiO2 thin film on the surface of glazed ceramic tile were prepared by sol-gel method.The influences of different doping Cr3+ concentration on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 were discussed, UV-visible and X-ray diffraction analysis were used to test the performance of TiO2 powder and film. The results indicate that photocatalytic activity of doping Cr3+-TiO2 thin film is higher than that of powder, and the interaction between Cr3+-doped and substrate can greatly enhance the photocatalytic activity. The results of X-ray diffraction and photoabsorption show that the Cr3+ -doped energy level in TiO2 is 0. 62 eV high from the top of valence band, which belongs to the type of deep energy level doping. On the basis of the semiconductor energy level theory and Cr3+ dopant energy level, the semiconductor energy level model of Cr3+ in TiO2 powder and thin film were established, and the doping mechanisms of Cr3+-doped in TiO2 powder and thin film were analyzed.

Preparation of NaYF_4:Er^(3+)/TiO_2 composite and up-conversion luminescence properties under visible light excitation

The up-conversion luminescence composite NaYF4：Er3＋/TiO2 is prepared using the sol-gel method. The specimen has good crystallinity and two shapes, i.e., viereck and round, while the sizes of viereck and round particles are both micron-sized. The TiO2 has an anatase structure, while the NaYF4 has a hexagonal phase, which can be hardly obtained through the common sol-gel method. Due to the big particle size and the high crystallinity of pure NaYF4： Er3＋, the composite has a small specific surface area that is less than Degussa P25 TiO2. The NaYF4：Er3＋/TiO2 composite shows several emission peaks at 211, 237, and 251 nm under the excitation of 388 nm, at 395 nm and 411 nm under the excitation of 500 nm, and at 467, 481,492, and 508 nm under the excitation of 570 nm.

Photoelectrochemical performance of La^(3+)-doped TiO_2

La-doped TiO_2 thin films on titanium substrates were prepared by the sol–gel method with titanium tetrachloride as a precursor and La_2O_3 as a source of lanthanum. The heat-treatment temperature dependence of the photoelectrochemical performance of the La-doped TiO_2 film in 0.2 mol/L Na_2SO_4 was investigated by the MottSchottky equation, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the open-circuit potential test. The results from the Mott-Schottky curves show that the obtained films all were n-type semiconductors, and the film at 300 °C had the highest conduction band position and the widest space charge layer. The electrochemical impendence spectroscopy（EIS） tests of the 300 °C film decreased most during the change from illuminated to dark. The potential of the La–TiO_2 thin film electrode was the lowest after the 300 °C heat treatment. The open-circuit potential indicated that the photoelectrical performance of the La-TiO_2 films was enhanced with the addition of the La element and the largest decline（837.8 mV） in the electrode potential was achieved with the 300 °C heat treatment.

Facile synthesis and enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity of Ti3 ＋-doped Ti02 sheets with tunable phase composition

Ti3＋-doped TiO2 nanosheets with tunable phase composition （doped TiO2 （A/R）） were synthesized via a hydrothermal method with high surface area anatase TiO2 nanosheets TiO2 （A） as a substrate, structure directing agent, and inhibitor; the activity was evaluated using a probe reaction-photocatalytic CO2 conversion to methane under visible light irradiation with H2 as an electron donor and hydrogen source. High-resolution transmission electron microscope （HRTEM）, field emission scanning electron microscope, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and X-ray diffraction （XRD） etc., were used to characterize the photocatalysts. XRD and HRTEM measurements confirmed the existence of anatase-rutile phase junction, while Ti3-and single-electron-trapped oxygen vacancy in the doped TiO2 （A/R） photocatalyst were revealed byelectron paramagnetic resonance （EPR） measurements. Effects of hydrothermal synthesis temperature and the amount of added anatase TiO2 on the photocatalytic activity were elucidated. Significantly enhanced photo- catalytic activity of doped TiO2 （A/R） was observed; under the optimized synthesis conditions, CH4 generation rate of doped TiO2 （A/R） was 2.3 times that of Ti3＋-doped rutile TiO2.
