研究目的
To synthesize mesoporous TiO2 microspheres using spray pyrolysis and optimize their photocatalytic activity through post-modification heat treatment for methylene blue degradation.
研究成果
Mesoporous TiO2 microspheres synthesized at 500°C via spray pyrolysis showed optimal properties for photocatalysis. Post-modification by calcination at 350°C significantly improved photocatalytic activity due to enhanced anatase crystallinity and surface area, making this method promising for commercial photocatalyst production.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific pyrolysis and calcination temperatures; other parameters or conditions were not explored. The method may have scalability issues for industrial applications, and the use of UV light restricts practical use in environments without UV sources.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used spray pyrolysis for synthesizing TiO2 microspheres, followed by post-modification via calcination to enhance photocatalytic properties. Characterization methods included XRD, SEM, and N2 adsorption to analyze structure and surface area. Photocatalytic activity was assessed through methylene blue degradation under UV light.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
TiO2 sol was prepared from titanium (IV) isopropoxide in isopropyl alcohol with DI water. Samples were synthesized at pyrolysis temperatures of 500, 600, and 700°C, and post-modified by calcination at various temperatures.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included ultrasonic vibrators (1.7 MHz), furnaces with PID controller, thimble filter, heating tape, N2 porosimeter (Tristar 3020, Micromeritics), XRD (Miniflex 600, Rigaku), HR FE-SEM (MERLIN, Carl Zeiss), UV-visible spectrophotometer (Optizen POP, Mecasys), and a 400 W mercury lamp. Materials included TTIP (97% Aldrich), isopropyl alcohol (99.7%, Carlo), DI water, nitric acid, and methylene blue dye.

Materials included TTIP (97% Aldrich), isopropyl alcohol (7%, Carlo), DI water, nitric acid, and methylene blue dye. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: TiO2 sol was prepared by hydrolysis and condensation, nebulized with ultrasonic vibrators, and pyrolyzed at set temperatures. Particles were collected, characterized, and tested for photocatalytic activity by degrading MB under UV light with stirring and temperature control.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data from characterization tools were used to determine crystallinity, morphology, surface area, and pore size. Photocatalytic efficiency was measured by monitoring MB concentration over time using UV-visible spectrophotometry.
