Degradation Of Methyl Orange

Photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) degradation efficiencies of a suspended TiO2 and Ti electrodes composite system in different ammonium salt solutions were investigated. Electrolyte type and concentration as well as the applied potential on the Ti electrodes had significant effects on photoelectrocatalytic degradation and electro-degradation efficiencies. PEC degradation and electro-degradation of methyl orange increased with increasing applied potential and electrolyte concentration. PEC degradation is much more powerful than electro-degradation. PEC degradation efficiency in (NH4)3PO4•3H2O solution is the highest 93.4%, whereas the efficiency in NH4Cl solution shows the worst 73.1%, which is even less than that of photocatalytic process alone. PEC degradation efficiencies in (NH4)2SO4 and NH4HCO3 solutions are 88.8% and 85.9% respectively, indicating no noticeable improvement compared with photocatalytic process.

Nitrogen Doped Titanium Dioxide

Nitrogen doped titanium dioxide nanoparticals (N-TiO2) were prepared by the sol-hydrothermal method using urea as N sources. SEM showed the sphericity of as-prepared nanoparticals. XRD indicated that N-TiO2 was anatase crystal after thermal treatment. While Na-chlorophyllin copper (Na-chl-Cu) was used as to sensitize the N-TiO2, the photocurrent of Na-chl-Cu/N-TiO2 was 50 ìA double than that of N-TiO2 under visible light illumination. Thus, the visible light photoelectrocatalytic degradation properties of Na-chl-Cu/N-TiO2 were investigated using methyl orange (MO) as the objective pollution. When 1.8 V anodic bias potential and visible light were simultaneously applied, the highest degradation efficiency of MO over the Na-chl-Cu/N-TiO2 was obtained.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

PEG1000 was used as template to prepare porous TiO2 film by sol-gel method. The functions of applied potential and concentration of NaHCO3 to the photoelectrocatalytic degradation of methyl orange on porous and smooth TiO2 films were investigated. Methyl orange degradation rate has two optimal values at the applied potential of 0.8 V and 1.8 V. The addition of PEG may have negative effect on photoelectrocatalytic activity of TiO2 film. The degradation rate increases with increasing NaHCO3 concentration from 0 up to 0.05 mol/l, and then it declines after further increase of electrolyte concentration. After 100 min of reaction, the degradation rates on the films prepared without and with PEG addition are 63.78% and 65.22%, respectively.

Abstract In this work, highly ordered titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (TNTs) were first prepared by anodic oxidation method. Then, g-C3N4/TNTs heterojunctions were prepared by ultrasonically loading graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) onto the TNTs. The morphology and crystal structure of TNTs and g-C3N4/TNTs were characterized by SEM and XRD. The photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) degradation of methyl orange (MO) by TNTs and g-C3N4/TNTs was studied in a PEC degradation system. The photocatalytic (PC), electrocatalytic (EC), and PEC degradation properties were compared, and the effect of pollutant concentration on the degradation performance of the catalysts was analyzed. According to the experimental results, the degradation rate of MO with TNTs only reaches 65.1% after 120 min, while the degradation rate of MO with g-C3N4/TNTs reaches 84.6% in the same time. Due to the synergistic effect of light and electricity, the PEC degradation efficiency of the two catalysts is greater than the sum of PC and EC degradation, proving that g-C3N4/TNTs heterojunctions provide excellent PEC performance for the degradation of MO.
