Thus far, the most developed co-catalysts for semiconductor-based photocatalysis are inorganic materials;the employment of a specific organic molecule as a co-catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and pollutant photodegradation is rare and still remains a challenging task. Herein, we report on the use of an organic molecule, oxamide (OA), as a novel co-catalyst to enhance electron- hole separation, photocatalytic H2 evolution, and dye degradation over TiO2 nanosheets. OA-modified TiO2 samples were prepared by a wet chemical route and demonstrated improved light absorption in the visible-light region and more efficient charge transport. The photocatalytic performance of H2 evolution from water splitting and rhodamine B (RhB) degradation for an optimal OA-modified TiO2 photocatalyst reached 2.37 mmol g^–1 h^–1 and 1.43 × 10^-2 min^-1, respectively, which were 2.4 and 3.8 times higher than those of pristine TiO2, respectively. A possible mechanism is proposed, in which the specific π-conjugated structure of OA is suggested to play a key role in the enhancement of the charge transfer and catalytic capability of TiO2. This work may provide advanced insight into the development of a variety of metal-free organic molecules as functional co-catalysts for improved solar-to-fuel conversion and environmental remediation.展开更多

The samples were characterized by TEM, SEM, BET, IR, XRD and so on. The results indicate that the BET surface area of TiO2/SiO2 aerogels calcined at 550℃ which consisted of anatase structure of TiO2 with narrow distribution pores of 5-25 nm is as high as 357.89 m2·g-1. For the photocatalytic degradation of pyridine, the catalytic activities of TiO2/SiO2 aerogels are much higher than that of TiO2 powder. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2/SiO2 aerogels calcined at 800℃ is the optimum. The higher the content of SiO2, the higher the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/SiO2 aerogels. The cost for preparation of the aerogels is greatly reduced by using non-supercritical drying method, and the aerogels are hopefully applied in the treatment of industrial waste water such as coking effluent treatment.展开更多

In a technologic condition for preparing EG-TiO2, the impregnated number of times is the most important factor to influence oil-adsorbing capability, that is, when the impregnated number of times increases, the amount of saturation-adsorbed oil decreases. The study of EG-TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of machine oil based on the weight-loss method and infrared spectrum method indicates that EG-TiO2 has obvious effect of photocatalytic degradation for machine oil. Its performance is superior to pure nanometer TiO2 powder because nanometer TiO2 in EG-TiO2 has three-dimension laminar structure and comparatively high adsorption capability.展开更多

X-ray diffraction confirms the complete anatase crystalline of thiol-functionalized TiO2, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm demonstrated that these materials possess high surface area and mesoporous structure. The results of XPS show that MPTES has been successfully polymerized in mesoporous structured TiO2. The photodegradation of phenanthrene (PHE) was investigated under visible light irradiation (λ 〉 420 nm) to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of these materials. Based the experiment results of GC-Mass analysis, a possible mechanism was proposed.展开更多

During degradation of orthomono- chlorphenol solutions by ultraviolet, the strong adsorption capability of the zeolite results in increased concentration of substrate on its surface. The Ti(h film coated on feather zeolite further enhances the photocatalytic activity. The TiO~ film on the zeolite prepared by the Sol-gel method is found more effective as a catalyst than that by two powder coating methods.展开更多

Catalysts are characterized by XRDIRTDA and BET. Different preparation factors were discussed.The catalysts consisting of SO 2- 43.4% and TiO 2∶SiO 2=1∶6 showed excellent reaction activity and stability for the photocatalytic degradation of phenol.Controlling calcination temperature and time (450℃,2h) could avoid or diminish the formation of Ti-O-Si bond and obtain higher V g and better dispersivity of TiO 2 on the surface of SiO 2.The kinetic study on photocatalytic degradation of phenol with the complex catalysts in a suspension system under 40W UV-lamp showed that apparent rate constant k conformed to a zero-order kinetic model at initial concentration <100mg·L -1 and increased with increasing pH value of phenol solution up to pH=12.When pH=10,k=3.32×10 -1 mg·L -1 ·min -1 .
