Type Semiconductor

TiO2 photocatalyst is one of type semiconductor that is often used in textile dyes photodegradationmethod which characteristics are influenced by the size of crytal. Synthesis of TiO2 photocatalystscan be done by several methods, one using the sol-gel method. By treating variations in thecomposition of the reactans and treatment of synthesis in sol-gel method, the size of the TiO2crystals can be controlled to produced the desired characteristics. This study has been made ofTiO2 photocatalysts in the form of thin-layer films using sol-gel method with annealing process ata temperature of 550oC. This study examines the effect of the concentration of precursor TTIP andhydrolysis ratio of the crystal structure, crystallinity, the band gap energy, and photocatalystactivity to degrade procion red mx-8b dye compound. The result obtained is known that the crystalsynthesized has structure of TiO2 anatase. Value crystal size, crystallinity, the band gap energy,and percent degradation has a value that depends on the composition of TTIP concentration andhydrolysis ratio. Although the results showed morphology of TiO2 particle indivcate that large sizeand crystallinity value is still low, but that is interesting each of the measurement results mutuallysupport each other.Keywords: photocatalyst, TiO2, Sol-gel, TTIP concentration, hydrolysis ratio

Research on synthesis of bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) using sol-gel method with varying calcination temperatures at 500, 600, and 700 °C has been done. This study aims to determine the effect of calcination temperature on the characteristics of the obtained products which encompasses crystal structure, surface morphology, band-gap energy, and photocatalytic activity for the decolorization of methyl orange dyes through its kinetic study. Bismuth oxide prepared by sol-gel method was undertaken by dissolving Bi(NO3)3·5H2O and citric acid in HNO3. The mixture was stirred then heated at 100 °C. The gel formed was dried in the oven and then calcined at 500, 600, and 700 °C for 5 h. The obtained products were a pale yellow powder, indicating the formation of bismuth oxide. This is confirmed by the existence of Bi–O and Bi–O–Bi functional groups through FTIR analysis. All three products possess the same mixed crystal structures of α-Bi2O3 (monoclinic) and γ-Bi2O3 (body center cubic), but their morphologies and band gap values are different. The higher the calcination temperature, the larger the particle size and the smaller the band gap value. The accumulative differences in characteristics appoint SG700 to have the highest photocatalytic activity compared to SG600 and SG500 as indicated by its percent degradation value and decolorization rate constant.

This work aims to study the effect of ZnO containing in TiO2/SiO2 film on the superhydrophilic property after exposed to different types of light. The metal solutions were prepared by sol-gel technique and the film was deposited on glass slides by dip coating method. The parameter studied was the amount of ZnO in the TiO2/SiO2 film. The contents of ZnO were 5-20% weight (increased by 5%). The amount of TiO2 was constant at 30% weight. The obtained films were analyzed for their roughness. The results indicated that film roughness changed according to the ZnO contents. With 5%ZnO in the thin film, the roughness was 0.726 nm while 20%ZnO obtained the roughness of 2.128 nm. UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used for measuring of transmittance of films. At wavelength of 550 nm, the transmittances of each film were greater than 90%. Band gap energy of each film was calculated from the transmittance data. It was found that the average band gap energy of the films was 2.47 eV. Then, the films contained various amount of ZnO were grouped into 2 sets. The first set was exposed to visible light while the other set was exposed to UV. The duration of exposure was 5 hr. Both sets of films after exposed to any light were kept in a black box controlled relative humidity of 85%. Each film was measured contact angle every day. It was found that the 30%TiO2/5%Zn/SiO2 film exposed to visible light showed the best superhydrophilic property. The contact angle was about 0-5° within 3 days. This may due to the reduction of band gap energy in the presence of ZnO in TiO2/SiO2 films to 2.41 eV and the roughness of the film.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

Nitrogen-loaded TiO2(N-loaded TiO2), a visible-light driven catalyst, was successfully synthesized by the modified sol-gel method. Physical characterizations of the as-prepared catalysts have been performed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Diffuse reflectance UVvisspectroscopy(DRUVvis), Raman spectroscopyand BETspecific surface areain order to obtain structure-activity relationship. Results from Raman spectroscopy clearly suggested that N atoms were incorporated into the TiO2crystal lattice as evidenced by the vibrational peak of TiN in TiO2-xNx.DR UVvis results also suggested that the nitrogen dopant might be responsible for narrowing the TiO2band gap energy, thus resulting in a shift towards the visiblelight region. Photocatalytic activity of N-loaded TiO2evaluated through the degradation of methyl orange (MO)under visible light irradiation (l> 400 nm) indicated that all N-loaded photocatalysts exhibited significantly higher activities than the unloaded TiO2and Degussa P25 TiO2. According to the results from DR UV-vis, XRD and BET studies, the enhanced photoactivity observed from N-loaded samples might be due to a decrease in TiO2band gap energy and/or changes in chemical and physical properties of the materials upon loading with nitrogen.

In this work, the band gap energies of magnesium oxide (MgO) were investigated to see if calcination time affects the band gap energies of the MgO. MgO nanomaterials have been prepared by a sol-gel method. MgO precursors produced were calcined at a temperature of 600 °C for 24 hours and 48 hours. The structural characterization of samples is achieved using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and the morphology as well as particle size of MgO were examined by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). UV-Vis NIR spectroscopy was used to determine the band gap energies of the materials. From the results, the band gap energy of the MgO with a longer heating time exhibited a higher value.

The synthesis and characterization of Mn-loaded TixSi1-xO4 (x= 0.4-0.8) composites and a preliminary study of an activity testing their ability to work as photocatalysts for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) have been studied. Synthesis was conducted by the sol-gel method at room temperature using tetraethyl orthosilicate, titanium tetraisopropoxide, and manganese(II) chloride as precursors followed by thermal treatment at 500 °C. The characterizations were performed by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectrometry, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrometry and a surface area analyzer. The photocatalytic activity test of composites for degradation of MB was carried out in a closed reactor equipped with UV and visible lights. In this test, the effects of ratio of Ti/Si composites, Mn2+ ion concentration, pH, and time of irradiation on the effectiveness of photodegradation of MB were studied. The results indicated that Mn-Ti0.6Si0.4O4 composite could be synthesized through the sol-gel method followed by thermal treatment with a molar ratio of Ti/Si=60/40 and the optimum concentration of manganese was 2.5 wt%. The Mn-Ti0.6Si0.4O4 composite significantly increased the photodegradation of MB at pH 10, with a percent degradation of 84.41% for 30 min under irradiation of visible light. The percent degradation of Ti0.6Si0.4O4 was only 18.23% under irradiation of visible light.
