Influence of Titanium Dioxide Preparation Method on Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes
摘要: Titanium catalysts (TiO2) were synthesized by three different methods. Their photocatalytic activity was validated through photodegradation of Reactive Red 45 (RR45) azo dye and Acid Blue 25 (AB25) anthraquinone dye in an aqueous solution under UV irradiation. TiO2 photocatalysts were characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM. Photosensitivity and TiO2 activity range were characterized by UV/Vis spectroscopy. Photocatalytic validation has been made by way of determining the degree of RR45 and AB25 removal. TOC was determined as a measure of the mineralization of RR45 and AB25 by photocatalysis. The stability of TiO2 catalysts and a possibility of using them in consecutive photocatalysis cycles have also been studied. The results show that the photocatalytic efficiency depends on the crystal structure of TiO2. The size of crystallites depends on synthesis conditions. From the results of photocatalytic efficiency it is concluded that the chemical interaction between a catalyst and a dye strongly depends on the dye chemical structure.

Conductive TiO2 nanorods via surface coating by antimony doped tin dioxide
摘要: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been widely used as the white pigment in paintings and coatings. It is of significance to endow TiO2 powders with the high conductivity to extend its application. In this research, rutile TiO2 nanorods were prepared as the substrate material. Further the surface coating by antimony doped tin dioxide (SbeSnO2) shell layers was achieved to obtain conductive TiO2 nanorods. The morphology and structure of TiO2@SbeSnO2 nanorods was mainly focused on to obtain high conductivity by optimizing the calcination temperature. When the temperature was properly applied at nearly 500 °C, the calcination led to the fusion and attachment of SbeSnO2 crystalline regions on the surface of TiO2 nanorods, forming a continuous intact coating layer and thus getting lower volume electrical resistivity of the composite nanopowder. However, after calcination at 600 °C or higher temperature, the integrity of SbeSnO2 shell layers would be destroyed, resulting in the increased electrical resistivity. The conductive TiO2 nanorods obtained at the optimized reaction condition showed a very low resistivity of 52 ± 1.6 Ω cm, in contrast to 105 Ω cm of the pure TiO2. The conductive TiO2 nanorods would be excellent candidate for antistatic or electromagnetic shielding applications in coatings.

AIP Conference Proceedings [Author(s) PROCEEDINGS OF THE 3RD INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CURRENT PROGRESS IN MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCES 2017 (ISCPMS2017) - Bali, Indonesia (26–27 July 2017)] - Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) as counter electrode in the newly developed catalysis zone of modified cadmium sulfide (CdS) sensitized solar cell for hydrogen production
摘要: Recently we developed a modified quantum dot dyes sensitized solar cell (QD-DSSC) having catalysis zone extension for hydrogen production. The DSSC section comprised of CdS sensitized highly order Titanium dioxidenanotube (CdS-HOTN) immobilized on Ti plate, Na2S/S containing electrolyte, and Pt covered SnO-F (fluorine doped tin oxide) glass plate (hence Pt/SnO-F/Glass). While the catalysis zone comprised of an extension of Ti support, as cathode, and the respected counter electrode was an extension of SnO-F glass, which was covered by BiVO4 film, both from respected DSSC section. In this presentation, we will focus on the role of the BiVO4 in our newly developed system. The bismuth vanadate was prepared by co-precipitation method with ammonia and calcination to obtain a fine powder. The BiVO4 fine powder were then deposited onto SnO-F glass plate and characterized by FT-IR, UV–vis diffused reflectance spectroscopy, SEM and X-ray diffraction. The characterization results revealed that the BiVO4 film, typically, has a band gap of 2.35 eV, characteristic of IR peaks represent the –V-O-, and –Bi-O-V- bonds, having a crystal phase as BiVO4 monoclinic scheelite with a typically crystallite size of 74.06 nm. The photo-electro-chemical properties of the BiVO4 film photo-anode was investigated by a linear sweep voltammetry and multi pulse amperometry, which revealed that the current response under the visible light was 0.03 mA/cm2. Further investigation when the BiVO4 film was incorporated into the modified QD-DSSC, the system (catalysis zone section), under solely visible light, was able to split the water into hydrogen and molecular oxygen. A brief discussion of the newly developed modified QD-DSSC, especially on the role of BiVO4 counter electrode in the catalysis zone will be presented, to gain a better insight in our new type artificial photosynthesis.

Steady-state Electrochemiluminescence at Single Semiconductive Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles for Local Sensing of Single Cells
摘要: Obtaining steady-state bright electrochemiluminescence (ECL) at single nanoparticles is crucial but challenging for the realization of the single-nanoparticle electrochemical sensing of single cells. In this work, steady-state bright ECL is implemented at single semiconductive titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles for sensing the local efflux from single living cells. Oxygen vacancies on the surface of rutile TiO2 nanoparticles have a high affinity for hydrogen peroxides that are not easily passivated upon exposure to voltage. Therefore, the steady-state adsorption of hydrogen peroxide by the TiO2 nanoparticle surface permits the continuous electrochemical generation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals by electrons and surface-trapped holes at the nanoparticles, resulting in constant ECL under physiological conditions. This steady-state luminescence during continuous imaging is correlated with the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, leading to the local ECL visualization of hydrogen peroxide efflux from single cells. The successful local ECL imaging demonstrated herein provides an unprecedented approach to enable subcellular electroanalysis using single nanoparticles.

Facile synthesis of SiO2@TiO2 hybrid NPs with improved photocatalytic performance
摘要: SiO2@TiO2 hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully prepared via a simple solvothermal approach using tetrabutyl titanate (Ti(OBu)4) as a titanium source. The morphology and crystal structure of the sample were characterised by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, and X-ray diffraction. The photocatalytic properties of SiO2@TiO2 hybrid NPs were also investigated in detail. The results showed that the layers of TiO2 NPs have been successfully coated onto the uniform silica sphere and transformed into anatase after calcination at 500°C. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of the as-obtained product was higher than that of the commercial P25-TiO2. The method for producing hybrid NPs has potential applications in building various types of hybrid NPs.

Atomic layer deposition of titanium nitride for quantum circuits
摘要: Superconducting thin films with high intrinsic kinetic inductance are of great importance for photon detectors, achieving strong coupling in hybrid systems, and protected qubits. We report on the performance of titanium nitride resonators, patterned on thin films (9–110 nm) grown by atomic layer deposition, with sheet inductances of up to 234 pH/(cid:2). For films thicker than 14 nm, quality factors measured in the quantum regime range from 0.2 to 1.0 (cid:2) 106 and are likely limited by dielectric two-level systems. Additionally, we show characteristic impedances up to 28 kX, with no significant degradation of the internal quality factor as the impedance increases. These high impedances correspond to an increased single photon coupling strength of 24 times compared to a 50 X resonator, transformative for hybrid quantum systems and quantum sensing.

Role of Pt Loading in the Photocatalytic Chemistry of Methanol on Rutile TiO2(110)
摘要: As a cocatalyst, Pt is well-known for accepting photoexcited electrons and lowering the overpotential of hydrogen production in photocatalysis, being responsible for the enhanced photocatalytic efficiency. Despite the above existing knowledge, the adsorption of reactants on the Pt/photon-absorber (for example, Pt/TiO2) interface, a prerequisite to understand the photocatalytic chemistry, is extremely difficult to investigate mainly due to the complexity of the powdered material and solution environment. Combining ultrahigh vacuum and well-ordered single crystals, we study the photocatalytic chemistry of methanol on Pt loaded rutile TiO2(110) using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). Despite the same photocatalytic chemical products, i.e., formaldehyde and surface hydrogen species, as on Pt-free TiO2(110), the subsequent chemistry of surface hydrogen species and the photocatalytic reaction rate are much different. The bridging hydroxyls desorb as water molecules around 500 K on Pt-free TiO2(110) surface, by contrast, this desorption channel disappears completely and water and molecular hydrogen desorb at much lower temperature (<300 K) after Pt deposition, which can prevent the recombination of hydrogen species with formaldehyde. More importantly, methanol dissociates into methoxy at the Pt/TiO2(110) interface, which is crucial in the photocatalytic chemistry of methanol on TiO2 surfaces since methoxy is a more effective hole scavenger than methanol itself. The photocatalytic chemical reaction rate is increased by nearly one order of magnitude after 0.12 monolayer Pt deposition. This work suggests that Pt loading can promote the dissociation of methanol into methoxy and lower the desorption barrier of molecular hydrogen, which may work cooperatively with separating photoexcited charges to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency. Our work implies the importance of the cocatalysts in affecting the surface structure and adsorption of reactants and products and then improving the photoactivity, in addition to the well-known role in charge separation.

Effect of thermal oxidation temperatures on the phase evolution and photocatalytic property of tungsten-doped TiO <sub/>2</sub> thin film
摘要: Tungsten-doped titanium dioxide (W-TiO2) thin films were successfully prepared on glass substrates by sputtering thermally oxidized W-doped titanium films in air. Tungsten-doped titanium films were deposited using a DC and RF magnetron cosputtering system. The effects of annealing treatment and W content on the W-TiO2 film microstructure were investigated. The crystalline structures, morphological features, and photocatalytic activity of the annealed W-TiO2 films were systematically studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The results indicated that annealing at 550 °C clearly induced the formation of an anatase and rutile phase mixture in the 5.5 at. % W-TiO2 films, which directly affected photocatalytic activity. The W-TiO2 films showed good photocatalytic activity under UV-light irradiation, with a higher rate of methylene blue dye degradation than in the case of undoped TiO2.

Visible Light TiO <sub/>2</sub> Photocatalyst Composite Based on Carbon Microfiber Derived from Human Hair
摘要: The present work reports titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst composite based on human hair that can operate efficiently under visible light. The human hair melanin structure contains active sites, which can be described as a carbon compound derived from a Quinone where one of two oxygen atoms is bonded to a hydrogen radical and that can be reversibly photogenerated under visible or ultraviolet irradiation. The human hair-derived microfibers (HHDMs) were created by the pyrolyzing hair at 850 °C, resulting in a rod-like hollow structure. TiO2 was immobilized on the pyrolyzed hair by a simple self-template method. The resulting composite was calcined at five different temperatures (150 to 350 °C). The HHDM and HHDM-TiO2 morphologies and the chemical compositions were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The HHDM-TiO2 photocatalytic efficiency in degrading methylene blue was investigated and compared to that of a conventional TiO2 catalyst (P25). HHDM-TiO2 was more effective for methylene blue degradation under visible light than the conventional P25 catalyst suspension due to the unique photosensitivity and porous structure of the composite. The catalyst calcined at 300 °C showed the best performance, which was 71% higher than that of the P25 catalyst.

Control of Spatially Homogeneous Distribution of Heteroatoms to Produce Red TiO2 Photocatalyst for Visible-Light Photocatalytic Water Splitting
摘要: The strong band-to-band absorption of photocatalysts spanning the whole visible light region (400-700 nm) is critically important for solar-driven photocatalysis. Although it is actively and widely used as photocatalyst for various reactions in the past four decades, TiO2 has a very poor ability to capture the whole-spectrum visible light. Here, by controlling the spatially homogeneous distribution of boron and nitrogen heteroatoms in anatase TiO2 microspheres with a predominance of high-energy {001} facets, a strong visible light absorption spectrum with a sharp edge beyond 680 nm is achieved. The red TiO2 with the homogeneous doping of boron and nitrogen obtained shows no increase in defects like Ti3+ that are commonly observed in doped TiO2. More importantly, it has the ability to induce photocatalytic water oxidation to produce oxygen under the irradiation of visible light beyond 550 nm and also photocatalytic reducing water to produce hydrogen under visible light. These results demonstrate the great promise of using the red TiO2 for visible light photocatalytic water splitting and also provide an attractive strategy for realizing the wide-spectrum visible light absorption of wide-bandgap oxide photocatalysts.
