Enhanced solar induced photo-thermal synergistic catalytic CO2 conversion by photothermal material decorated TiO2
摘要： Semiconductor material with narrow bandgap is an ideal photo-thermal conversion material because of its high absorption intensity in infrared region. Here, CuS/TiO2 composites were synthesized based on UV-responsive TiO2 compound with narrow bandgap semiconductor material CuS for CO2 conversion under full-spectrum irradiation. The experimental results showed that 2% CuS/TiO2 exhibited higher photocatalytic CO2 reduction efficiency due to the solar induced photo-thermal synergistic effect. CuS can absorb and convert infrared light into heat energy, which promotes the utilization range of sunlight for CO2 conversion. In-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR) was used to explain the photocatalytic mechanism at the molecular level. This work suggested a feasible way for integrated utilization of solar energy by narrow bandgap semiconductor compounds with TiO2 to convert CO2.

Assessment of Bamboo Charcoal/Nano-TiO2 (BC/TiO2) Composite Material and Its Application in Photocatalytic Coating
摘要： The bamboo charcoal/nano-TiO2 (BC/TiO2) composite material is designed and prepared for further improving photocatalytic property of TiO2. Assessment of BC/TiO2 composite material and its application in photocatalytic coating are investigated by nitrogen absorption test, scanning electron microscopy-energy disperse spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) characterization and photocatalytic and mechanical properties analysis. The results show that optimal ratio of TiO2 to BC is 0.03. Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation ratio can reach 62.9% under 4 h UV light irradiation, which is 43.7% higher than pure TiO2 sample. The specific surface area (SBET) and the total average pore size (D) of BC/TiO2 can reach 388.33 m2/g and 3.71 nm, respectively. Moreover, the photocatalytic coatings prepared mainly by BC/TiO2 and polyacrylic emulsion (PAE), not only show satisfactory mechanical properties, but also have excellent photocatalytic property. When the addition of BC/TiO2 composite materials is 6%, the photocatalytic property of coating is optimal, RhB degradation ratio can reach 83.7% under 8 h UV light irradiation. Also the adhesion, pencil hardness and impact resistance reach 2 level, 2H and 44 kg cm, respectively.

Enhanced photoelectrochemical performance of CdO-TiO2 nanotubes prepared by direct impregnation
摘要： A direct impregnation technique was adopted to prepare a series of CdO-TiO2 nanotubes. Self-organized TiO2 nanotubes were prepared using an optimized two-step anodization process. The morphology, crystallinity, elemental composition, and photoelectrochemical properties of the CdO-TiO2 nanotubes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transimission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflection spectra (UV-Vis DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoelectric cell (PEC) measurements. At lower Cd(NO3)2 concentration, no obvious CdO crystalline particle formed on the TiO2 NTbs surface, while the EDS and XPS measurements shows the increasing doping amount of CdO as the Cd(NO3)2 concentration increasing. At a relatively high precursor concentration (800 mM), the formation of particle clusters and nanocrystals on the surface of the TiO2 nanotubes could be easily detected, and the sample presented XRD diffraction peaks indicative of CdTiO3. Meanwhile, the Ti 2p XPS spectra displayed an obvious shift (~0.3 eV), which could be attributed to the change in the lattice structure. A negative shift in the flatband potential (Vfb) and a decrease in charge carrier density were observed after doping. The maximum incident photon to charge carrier efficiency (IPCE) value calculated for the CdO-TiO2 nanotubes was 10.16%, much higher than that of pure TiO2 nanotubes.

Metal accumulation, biochemical and behavioral responses on the Mediterranean clams Ruditapes decussatus exposed to two photocatalyst nanocomposites (TiO2 NPs and AuTiO2NPs)
摘要： Nanoparticle decoration with noble metal represents a promising alternative to improve their photocatalytic and photovoltaic properties. However, toxicity can be influenced by such modification, as the bioavailability of these substances may be influenced. To understand how decoration influences the NP impacts in marine ecosystems, we exposed suspension-feeding clams, Ruditapes decussatus, to two photocatalyst nanocomposites, TiO2 NPs and AuTiO2 NPs, over 2 concentrations, 50 μg L?1 and 100 μg L?1, in a laboratory experiment. Accumulation of Au and Ti in gills and digestive gland was noted in clams after exposure to TiO2 NPs and AuTiO2 NPs using inductively coupled plasma optic emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). TiO2 and AuTiO2 NPs alter the behavior of the clams Ruditapes decussatus by reducing filtration and respiration rates. Furthermore, the highest concentration of TiO2NPs induces an overproduction of H2O2 in gills and digestive gland and NO production only in gills. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities were induced in gills and digestives gland in concentration and nanocomposite type dependent manner. Decorated form presented higher Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in gills and digestive gland than the undecorated form, suggesting different mechanisms of action that may be mediated through oxidative stress. In conclusion, the considered parameters could represent reliable biomarkers for the assessment of NP toxicity on R. decussatus as biological biomonitoring model. In addition, based on the obtained results, nanoparticle decoration influences the toxicity of metal nanoparticles in marine organism.

A novel P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 mixed oxide: Synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic activity under visible radiation
摘要： In this work, a novel P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 mixed oxide was successfully prepared by a microwave assisted sol-gel method. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by N2 physisorption, SEM, XRD, XPS, and FTIR, UV–vis DRS, and PL spectroscopies. The iron and phosphorus content in the catalyst samples were quanti?ed by AAS and ICP-OES, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 powders were evaluated in the photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethazine (SMTZ). The Box Behnken design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM) were applied for modeling the e?ect and optimizing of the operational parameters levels on the degradation percentage of SMTZ. The complete degradation and mineralization percentage of 30% of SMTZ solution at pH 9 was achieved within 300 min of reaction, with the optimum P doping amount of 1.2 wt % and 1.25 g/L of catalyst loading. The 1.2 wt % P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 mixed oxide showed considerably higher photocatalytic activity than Fe2O3-TiO2 or TiO2. This enhanced performance could be attributed to the small crystallite size, narrow band gap, high speci?c surface area and increased number of surface hydroxyls on TiO2 nanoparticles. Additionally, the stability and reusability of this catalyst was demonstrated during three cycles of SMTZ degradation.

Significant enhancement of photoactivity in one-dimensional TiO2 nanorods modified by S-, N-, O-doped carbon nanosheets
摘要： Titanium dioxide (TiO2) represents one of the most active photocatalysts among metal oxides for the degradation of pollutants and for solar water splitting to produce hydrogen. The most critical drawbacks hindering its broad practical use are the absorption majorly in the UV part of solar spectrum and slow charge dynamics. Combination of TiO2 with a suitable partner in a hybrid nanostructure can effectively address these drawbacks. Here we report a novel nanocomposite system based on one-dimensional TiO2 nanorods wrapped with a sulfur-, nitrogen-, and oxygen-doped carbon (SNOC) nanosheets. The SNOC nanosheets are synthesized by a cost-effective and facile route using eco-friendly carrageenan as a sulfur, oxygen, and carbon source and urea as a nitrogen source. Silica was used as the templating agent that leads to large surface area materials after its removal at the end of the synthesis. Therefore, the synthesized material exhibits superior photocatalytic performance for decoloring representative Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. SNOC shows the apparent rate constant of 7.6 × 10–3 min–1, which is almost 3 times higher than that of a SNOC material without using silica (2.8 × 10–3 min–1). This performance of doped carbon material can be assigned to the effect of large surface area and effective visible light adsorption. The TiO2 NRs / SNOC nanocomposite was investigated for photoelectrochemical water splitting showing much higher photocurrent densities (0.85 mA cm–2) than pure TiO2 nanorod arrays (0.35 mA cm–2), which was due to significant improvement in the charge transfer dynamics and co-catalytic effect of SNOC. All the materials prepared were evaluated on the basis of physical properties such as crystalline structure, optical absorption, surface topography, and electronic properties.

Theoretical Study on Adsorption Characteristics and Environmental Effects of Dimetridazole on TiO2 Surface
摘要： In this paper, the adsorption characteristics of dimetridazole on anatase TiO2(101) and (001) crystal surfaces has been studied by using density functional theory. Adsorption structures of dimetridazole on anatase TiO2(101) and (001) crystal surfaces have been optimized under vacuum, water, acidic and alkaline conditions, respectively. The optimum adsorption site, adsorption energy and the electronic structure of the stable adsorption model were calculated. By analyzing the optimal adsorption site, we found that the possibility of degradation of dimetridazole on the surface of TiO2 and reaction site of degradation were the opening ring of C-N bond on the imidazole ring. By comparing the adsorption characteristics of dimetridazole on two different crystal planes of TiO2 under acidic and alkaline conditions, we found that the adsorption wavelengths of electron transition between conduction bands and valence bands of dimetridazole on anatase TiO2(101) crystal plane are within the range of visible wavelength. The results show that TiO2(101) can effectively utilize visible light and catalyze the adsorption and degradation reaction of dimetridazole on TiO2(101) surface. Our results show that TiO2(101) crystal surface can effectively use visible light under acidic and alkaline conditions. Our conclusion can explain the experimental result that the use of visible light on TiO2(001) face is greatly affected by the environment.

Direct Z-scheme MoSe2 decorating TiO2 nanotube arrays photocatalyst for water decontamination
摘要： Exploring a Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst with efficient charge separation and outstanding redox ability is necessary but very challenging. Herein, a novel direct Z-scheme MoSe2 decorating TiO2 nanotube arrays photocatalyst (denoted as MoSe2@TNTs) was prepared by a facile in situ hydrothermal method. Few-layer MoSe2 nanosheets distribute on the surface of the TNTs without shielding the tubular structure. Compared with individual TNTs and MoSe2, the as-prepared MoSe2@TNTs composite displays much better photocatalytic activity for eliminating pollutants (such as 4-nitrophenol and hexavalent chromium). Investigation results reveal that TNTs combined with appropriate amount of MoSe2 as co-catalyst has direct Z-scheme construction instead of traditional type-II heterojunction, which can offer abundant photo-generated active species with high redox capacity.

Effect of dissolved natural organic matter on the photocatalytic micropollutant removal performance of TiO2 nanotube array
摘要： The TiO2 nanotube array (TNA) is a promising photocatalyst for removal of micropollutants from water, but better understanding on its applicability in complex water matrices is still desired. Therefore this study investigates the effect of dissolved natural organic matter (NOMs) on 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA, a typical micropollutant found in many water bodies) removal performance of TNA. The present study shows that although in bulk liquid phase NOMs would undergo photosensitization that can contribute to MCPA removal, the overall effect of NOMs on MCPA removal is detrimental due to the interaction between NOMs and the TNA surface: the total removal of MCPA decreased from 94.3% to 62.0% and 61.8%, in the presence of only 5 mg/L SWR-NOM and UMR-NOM respectively. Acidic pH was found to be able to mitigate the detrimental effect of NOMs (the total removal of MCPA was only decreased from 94.5% to 83.3% and 88.8% under acidic pH, in the presence of 15 mg/L SWR-NOM and UMR-NOM respectively), and the photosensitization effect of NOMs was strengthened; while under alkaline pH conditions the detrimental effect of NOMs completely vanished (the total removal of MCPA increased from 45.7% to 55.7% and 60.5% in the presence of 15 mg/L SWR-NOM and UMR-NOM respectively). Two commonly present co-existing anions, i.e. phosphate and bicarbonate, also mitigate the detrimental effect of NOMs. With 15 mg/L SWR-NOM: the presence of 100 mg/L bicarbonate increased the total removal of MCPA from 49.1% to 65.1%; the presence of 100 mg/L phosphate increased the total removal of MCPA from 49.1% to 62.5%. With 15 mg/L SWR-NOM, the presence of 100 mg/L bicarbonate increased the total removal of MCPA from 45.2% to 56.1%; the presence of 100 mg/L phosphate increased the total removal of MCPA from 45.2% to 62.9%. The photocurrent measurement support that the presence of such anions greatly suppresses the h + scavenging effect of NOMs; while other anions, i.e. chloride, nitrate, sulfate, showed no notable effect.

Preparation of Pd/TiO2 nanowires for the photoreduction of CO2 into renewable hydrocarbon fuels
摘要： In this study, various Pd-loaded TiO2 nanowire (Pd/TiO2–NW) catalysts were prepared using the hydrothermal method, and their photocatalytic activity toward the photoreduction of CO2 into methane (CH4) and carbon monoxide (CO) was evaluated. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and photoluminescence analysis. The addition of Pd on TiO2–NWs can improve the production yield of CO2 photoreduction to CH4 and CO. The 0.5 wt% Pd/TiO2–NWs showed optimal CO and CH4 yields of 50.4 and 26.7 μmol/g, respectively. Moreover, the 0.5 wt% Pd/TiO2–NWs could be used repeatedly with only a small loss of photocatalytic activity noted after 30 days. Furthermore, a mechanism for the photoreduction of CO2 was proposed. Therefore, Pd/TiO2–NWs are an efficient photocatalyst for the reduction of CO2 to CH4 and CO.
