研究目的
Investigating the photocatalytic reduction and hydrogenation of o-dinitrobenzene to o-nitroaniline and o-phenylenediamine using non-metal-doped TiO2 under simulated solar light irradiation for high selectivity and yield.
研究成果
Non-metal-doped anatase-brookite biphasic TiO2 exhibits high selectivity (~97%) for reducing o-dinitrobenzene to o-phenylenediamine under simulated solar light, outperforming un-doped TiO2 and commercial P25. This is due to reduced band gap, formation of Ti3+ defects, and increased charge carrier lifetime, which enhance photocatalytic activity and selectivity. The findings suggest potential for sustainable chemical synthesis using solar energy.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific TiO2 phases and dopants (C, N, S); other dopants or conditions were not explored. The reusability showed slight decrease in efficiency after cycles, indicating potential stability issues. Applications are constrained to aqueous environments with oxalic acid as the hole scavenger.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a photocatalytic reduction method using anatase-brookite biphasic TiO2 and non-metal (C, N, S)-doped TiO2 under simulated solar light. Oxalic acid was used as a hole scavenger in an aqueous, oxygen-free environment.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Prepared un-doped (T) and doped (DT) TiO2 samples via sol-gel method with specific precursors. Commercial P25 TiO2 was used for comparison. o-Dinitrobenzene, oxalic acid, and other chemicals were sourced from Sigma-Aldrich.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included solar simulator lamp (SOL1200), EPR spectrometer (MiniScope MS400), XPS system (Thermo Fisher Scientific K-Alpha), PL spectrofluorophotometer (RF-5301 PC), GC/MS (Shimadzu GC/MS-QP 5000), GC-FID (Shimadzu GC 2010), and transient absorption spectroscopy setup. Materials included TiO2 samples, oxalic acid, o-dinitrobenzene, and solvents.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Photocatalytic reactions were conducted in sealed glass bottles with Ar purging to remove oxygen. Mixtures of TiO2, o-dinitrobenzene, and oxalic acid in deionized water were irradiated for up to 24 hours. Products were extracted and analyzed using GC/MS and GC-FID. Characterization involved XRD, XPS, EPR, PL, TAS, and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Quantitative analysis used calibration curves with authentic standards. Spectroscopic data were interpreted to assess defects, charge carrier lifetimes, and photocatalytic efficiency.
