研究目的
Investigating the photocatalytic and antibacterial activities of mesoporous Mn and S co-doped TiO2 nanomaterials synthesized by sol-gel method.
研究成果
Mn and S co-doped TiO2 nanomaterials exhibit enhanced photocatalytic and antibacterial activities under visible light. The optimal conditions for degradation of Indigo carmine dye were identified, and the catalyst showed comparable antibacterial activity to standard controls.
研究不足
The study focuses on specific dopant concentrations and may not cover the full range of possible doping effects. The photocatalytic and antibacterial activities were tested under controlled conditions which may differ in real-world applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized sol-gel method for synthesizing Mn and S co-doped TiO2 nanomaterials. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated under visible light irradiation using a high-pressure mercury vapour lamp.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Indigo carmine dye was used as a model pollutant. Bacterial strains Bacillus coagulans and Klebsiella pneumoniae were used for antibacterial activity studies.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included XRD, XPS, SEM, EDX, FT-IR, UV-Vis-DRS, TEM, BET, and PL. Materials included N-butyl tetra ortho titanate, Manganese nitrate, Thiourea, and Indigo carmine dye.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved hydrolysis of titanium precursor followed by doping with Mn and S precursors, aging, drying, and calcination. Photocatalytic degradation was monitored by UV-Vis spectrophotometry.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The degradation efficiency was calculated based on absorbance measurements. The band gap energy was determined using Kubelka-Munk formalism.
