Nitrogen-doped TiO_2 microsheets with enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity for CO_2 reduction

Nitrogen-doped anatase TiO 2 microsheets with 65%（001） and 35%（101） exposed faces were fabricated by the hydrothermal method using TiN as precursor in the presence of HF and HCl. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction,N2 adsorption,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,UV-visible spectroscopy,and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Their photocatalytic activity was evaluated using the photocatalytic reduction of CO2. The N-doped TiO 2 sample exhibited a much higher visible light photocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction than its precursor TiN and commercial TiO 2（P25）. This was due to the synergistic effect of the formation of surface heterojunctions on the TiO 2 microsheet surface,enhanced visible light absorption by nitrogen-doping,and surface fluorination.

In situ synthesis of Ti^(3+) self-doped mesoporous TiO_2 as a durable photocatalyst for environmental remediation

This study developed a facile approach for in situ synthesis of a Ti3＋ self-doped mesoporous TiO 2photocatalyst by an evaporation-induced self-assembly method using TiC l3,water,and F127 as the titanium precursor,solvent,and soft template agent,respectively. The as-prepared samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction,N2 adsorption-desorption measurements,ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy,electron paramagnetic resonance,and transmission electron microscopy. The influence of different reaction parameters such as the dosage of F127 and calcination temperature on the photocatalytic performance of the resulting products was evaluated. The optimized product exhibited high photocatalytic activity and stability in the oxidation of nitric oxide in air and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue. The excellent photocatalytic performance of the Ti3＋ self-doped mesoporous TiO 2 photocatalyst is attributed to the cooperation between the mesoporous structure and self-doped Ti3＋ enhancing light absorption and effectively suppressing the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes.

Facile synthesis of S-doped reduced TiO_(2-x) with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic performance

A different approach to synthesize visible‐light‐active sulfur(S)‐doped reduced titania(S‐TiO2‐x)using thiourea dioxide as both the S source and reductant was developed.The structure,morphology,and optical and electronic properties of the as‐prepared S‐TiO2‐x samples were examined by multiple techniques,such as X‐ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy,ultraviolet‐visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy,Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller and photocurrent measurements,and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.The photocatalytic activity of S‐TiO2‐x was evaluated by photodegradation of organic Rhodamine B under visible‐light irradiation.The degradation rate of Rhodamine B by S‐TiO2‐x obtained by calcination was about31,2.5,and3.6times higher than those of pure TiO2,pristine TiO2‐x,and S‐doped TiO2,respectively.In addition,the as‐prepared S‐TiO2‐x exhibited long‐term stable photocatalytic performance in the degradation of Rhodamine B under visible‐light illumination.This report reveals a new approach to prepare stable and highly efficient solar light‐driven photocatalysts for water purification.

Effects of flux on crystal structure and luminescent properties of nitroxides phosphors

Yellow-green-emitting Sr Si2O2N2:Eu2+phosphors were synthesized with Sr2Si O4:Eu2+as precursor.The effects of flux and the concentration of Eu2+on the crystal structure and luminescent properties of the phosphors were investigated.Results suggested that the optimal content of flux Na2CO3 was 1 wt%and the optimal doping concentration of Eu2+was 0.05 mol.The emission spectra showed the most intense peaks located at 535 nm which corresponded to the 4f65d→4f7 transition of Eu2+.The excitation spectra showed that these phosphors could be effectively excited by near-ultraviolet and blue light,whichwas consistent with the widely applied output wavelengths of near-ultraviolet and blue-white light-emitting diode(LED)chips.When the influence of flux on the luminescent properties of Sr Si2O2N2:Eu2+phosphor was analyzed,the X-ray diffraction(XRD)patterns indicated that the flux could help the crystallization of the phosphors.No other phases except the triclinic structure of Sr Si2O2N2 were formed.The thermal stability and the emission intensity of synthesized Sr Si2O2N2:Eu2+phosphor were examined and compared with commercial YAG yellow phosphors.All results indicate that the yellow-green-emitting phosphor is a suitable candidate for the fabrication of white LEDs.
