研究目的
Investigating the synthesis of uniform ordered mesoporous TiO2 microspheres with controllable phase junctions for efficient solar water splitting.
研究成果
The coordination-mediated self-assembly strategy successfully synthesized Meso-TiO2-25 with controllable anatase/rutile phase junctions, high surface area, and large pore volume, leading to superior photocatalytic performance for H2 evolution under both AM 1.5G and visible-light compared to commercial P25.
研究不足
The synthesis requires precise control of HCl concentration to adjust the anatase/rutile ratio, and the photocatalytic performance under visible light could be further optimized.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A coordination-mediated self-assembly strategy was used to synthesize Meso-TiO2-25 by using Pluronic F127 as the template, tetrabutyl titanate (TBOT) as the precursor and hydrochloride acid (HCl) as the coordination agent for mediating the coordination modes of Ti4+ ions. Acetic acid (HOAc) was utilized to make that the TBOT can effectively match the cooperative assembly with Pluronic F
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
1 The samples were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), selected-area electron diffraction (SAED), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Pluronic F127, TBOT, HCl, HOAc, THF, commercial P25-TiO
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis procedure involved dissolving Pluronic F127 and TBOT in THF solution with the assistance of HCl and HOAc, evaporation at 40 °C and 80 °C, and calcination in N2 and air.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The anatase/rutile ratio was measured by XRD, surface area and pore volume by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, and band gap by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra.
