The effects of n(Zn)/n(Ti) on the microstructures of TiO2-ZnO films were investigated by SEM, AFM, Raman and XPS, and their photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange solutions was evaluated. The results show that an increase in n(Zn)/n(Ti) typically results in a decrease in the grain size of composite films firstly and then an increase of grain size, while an increase in n(Zn)/n(Ti) leads to an increase in film roughness firstly and then a decrease in film roughness. Both grain size and roughness of TiO2-ZnO films reach the maximum and minimum at n(Zn)/n(Ti) of 1/9.3, respectively. The n(Zn)/n(Ti) shows little effect on the valences of Zn and Ti elements, which mainly exist in the form of TiO2 and ZnO phases. The n(Zn)/n(Ti) has influence on the amount of anatase/rutile TiO2 heterojunction in the film. With increase of the n(Zn)/n(Ti), the absorption intensity of the composite film increases and the absorption region extends to 450 nm, which is redshifted as much as 150 nm in comparison with the pure TiO2 films. However, the photocatalytic abilities of heterogeneous composite films do not depend on the n(Zn)/n(Ti) but rather on the microstructures of the TiO2-ZnO composite films. Degradation rate of the film reaches the maximum and the photocatalytic decomposition of pollutants works best when n(Zn)/n(Ti)=1:9.3.展开更多
Using ZnSO4 and TiCl4 as raw materials, nanometric TiO2 ZnO (ZnTiO3) is prepared at 180℃,0.8MPa by hydrothermal method.

The effects of the reaction temperature and time on the nanometric TiO2 ZnO are also discussed. XRD shows that the product is TiO2 ZnO (ZnTiO3) with noncrystal phase, and it changes to rhombic form above 870℃. TEM measurement indicates that the TiO2 ZnO is spherical particles, and the average diameter of the particles is 20nm. The UV light absorption properties are detected by UV spectrophotometer. The results show that the nanometric TiO2 ZnO has strong absorption at 200~370nm and at visible region. Photodegradation of dyes in an aqueous solution is investigated using nanometric TiO2 ZnO as a photocatalyst. The results show that after 60min illumination, the decolorization rate of the acidic red B and acidic black 234 dye can be arrived at 100%.展开更多
