Enhanced photocatalytic activity of rGO/TiO2 for the decomposition of formaldehyde under visible light irradiation

Due to the low concentration of indoor air contaminants,photocatalytic technology shows low efficiency for indoor air purification.The application of TiO_2 for photocatalytic removal of formaldehyde is limited,because TiO_2 can only absorb ultraviolet(UV) light.Immobilization of TiO_2 nanoparticles on the surface of graphene can improve the visible light photocatalytic activity and the adsorption capacity.In this study,rGO(reduced graphene oxide)/TiO_2 was synthesized through a hydrothermal method using titanium tetrabutoxide and graphene oxide as precursors,and was used for the degradation of low concentration formaldehyde in indoor air under visible light illumination.Characterization of the crystalline structure and morphology of rGO/TiO_2 revealed that most GO was reduced to rGO during the hydrothermal treatment,and anatase TiO_2 nanoparticles(with particle size of 15–30 nm) were dispersed well on the surface of the rGO sheets.rGO/TiO_2 exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity for degradation of formaldehyde in indoor air and this can be attributed to the role of rGO,which can act as the electron sink and transporter for separating photo-generated electron–hole pairs through interfacial charge transfer.Furthermore,rGO could adsorb formaldehyde molecules from air to produce a high concentration of formaldehyde on the surface of rGO/TiO_2.Under visible light irradiation for 240 min,the concentration of formaldehyde could be reduced to 58.5 ppbV.rGO/TiO_2 showed excellent moisture-resistance behavior,and after five cycles,r GO/TiO_2 maintained high photocatalytic activity for the removal of formaldehyde(84.6%).This work suggests that the synthesized rGO/TiO_2 is a promising photocatalyst for indoor formaldehyde removal.     

SO_4~(2-)/TiO_2光催化还原Cr(Ⅵ)的研究

将溶胶-凝胶法制备的SO42-/TiO2在不同温度下焙烧得到了具有不同特性的催化剂,用X射线衍射(XRD)、热重-差热分析(TG-DTA)、氨气程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)、静态吸附等手段对催化剂进行了表征.研究了不同特性的SO42-/TiO2催化剂光催化还原Cr(Ⅵ)的行为,并对其影响因素进行了分析.结果表明:SO42-/TiO2在300-600℃下焙烧均具有较高的催化效率,而在700℃及800℃下焙烧其催化活性显著降低.SO42-/TiO2的这种催化特性是由其吸附性能、晶相组成及表面酸量决定的.     

复合催化剂PWn/TiO2光催化降解甲醛反应的研究

合成了PWn／TiO2(n=11，12)两种复合催化剂，运用FTIR，TG-DTA，BET比表面积，SEM，FL等手段对复合催化剂进行了表征，并将其用于甲醛的光催化氧化降解实验．结果表明，PWn／TiO2复合催化剂中的钛醇基团可在PW11的缺位位置发生化学键合作用，导致复合体系中结构的变化，光催化活性较低；PWn／TiO2复合催化体系中不仅保持了PW12完整的Keggin结构，而且，经350℃焙烧处理后PW12与TiO2形成载流子的有效迁移，使得复合催化剂具有较高的光催化活性，明显优于纯TiO2，2种复合催化剂对甲醛的光催化降解反应遵循L-H机理，符合一级动力学方程，PW12／TiO2(350℃焙烧)和PW11／TiO2(300℃焙烧)为催化剂时，光催化降解的表观反应速率常数分别为0．01243min^-1，0．005214min^-1。     

纳米TiO2薄膜光催化降解2,4-二氯酚的动力学研究

以主波长为365nm的紫外光灯为光源，纳米TiO2薄膜为光催化剂，研究了2，4-二氯酚光催化降解的产物及Cl^-对2，4-二氯酚光催化反应动力学的影响，并进一步探讨了Cl对2，4-二氯酚光解影响的机理，2，4-二氯酚可以经光催化氧化被彻底矿化，结合外加Cl^-对2，4-二氯酚光催化降解的影响和L-H反应动力学分析，可以认为Cl^-对2，4-二氯酚光催化降解的抑制作用，是由于Cl^-与2，4-二氯酚在TiO2表面竞争同一活性位点所致。因此，当光催化反应进行到Cl^-在TiO2表面竞争性吸附较强时，在反应动力学方程中必须考虑Cl^-的竞争性作用。

Photocatalytic degradation of Chicago Sky Blue 6B and Benzopurpurin 4B using titanium dioxide thin film

Aqueous solutions of azo dyes undergo degradation to form harmless intermediates and colorless products following irradiation by visible light in the presence of titanium dioxide thin films. The dyes that were studied in this work are： Chicago Sky Blue 6B and Benzopurpurin 4B. Results obtained indicated that complete mineralization of the dyes took place under the experimental conditions. There was an increase in conductivity after the complete mineralization experiments possibly indicating the formation of ions such as NO3^- and SO4^2-. Chemical oxygen demand（COD） measurements show a decrease in organic matter for both dyes following complete degradation. The effect of how changing experimental conditions such as pH, temperature and starting concentrations of dyes affected the rate of dye degradation was measured. There was an increase in the rate of disappearance of the dye color at lower pH. High concentrations of dye solutions reauired Iona dearadation time.
