The film was characterized using XRD, AFM, and UV. The result showed that the TiO2 film consists of both cuboid-shaped and anatase-phased TiO2 nanoparticles. The average grain size of TiO2 in the film was approximately 20 nm. After coating with PANI, the particle was changed into irregular spherical-shaped and the size was increased up to approximately 35 nm in diameter. UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis indicated that the coating of TiO2 with PANI would result in an enhancement of photocatalytic efficiency and an extension of the photoresponse of TiO2. The band gap of the PANI/TiO2 film was 3.18 eV. The photocatalytic property of the film was evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine-B. It was found that 67.1% and 83.2% of rhodamine-B could be degraded under sunlight and UV irradiation within 120 min using the PANI/TiO2 composite t-tim as photocatalyst.展开更多

The sulfurized PANI/TiO2 composite sensor has a high sensitivity to mercury in a range of density from 5.57 mg/m3 to 126.18 mg/m3 at room temperature. The response time and recovery time are relatively short. We also investigated the sensitivity and response time to other interfering gases, such as NO2, SO2 and NH3. And the sulfurized PANI/TiO2 composite material shows a good selectivity for element mercury. The microscopic structure of the sensor was inves- tigated via X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray analysis （EDAX）. The sulfurized PANI/TiO2 composite material shows a high sensitive response, and good selectivity to element mercury, which is promising for the application in the detection of element mercury.展开更多
