Degradation Effect

Over the last decade, interest in the utilization of solar energy for photocatalysis treatment processes has taken centre-stage. Researchers had focused on doping TiO2 with SiO2 to obtain an efficient degradation rate of various types of target pollutants both under UV and visible-light irradiation. In order to further improve this degradation effect, some researchers resorted to incorporate plasmonic metal nanoparticles such as silver and gold into the combined TiO2-SiO2 to fully optimize the TiO2-SiO2’s potential in the visible-light region. This article focuses on the challenges in utilizing TiO2 in the visible-light region, the contribution of SiO2 in enhancing photocatalytic activities of the TiO2-SiO2 photocatalyst, and the ability of plasmonic metal nanoparticles (Ag and Au) to edge the TiO2-SiO2 photocatalyst toward an efficient solar photocatalyst.

Visible Light Photocatalytic

CdS-TiO2composite photocatalyst in the shape of hollow microsphere was successfully synthesized via the hard-template preparation with polystyrene microspheres followed by ion-exchange approach. The hollow CdS-TiO2microspheres significantly extended the light adsorption into visible light region, comparing to TiO2microspheres. It led to much higher photocatalytic activities of hollow CdS-TiO2microspheres than that of TiO2during the photodegradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradiations. Furthermore, the well-remained hollow structure could achieve light multireflection within the interior cavities and the separation of photo-induced electrons and holes is efficient in CdS-TiO2, which were facilitated to improving the photoactivity.

In order to improve the visible light response and reaction efficiency of nitrogen-doped TiO2 set urea as nitrogen source, and silica gel as the load reagent adopt sol-gel method to prepare powder of nitrogen-doped TiO2 supported on SiO2 , use equal volume impregnation method to load MnO2 on catalyst, and then obtain the composite photocatalyst after drying, and roasting .The prepared composite catalysts were characterized by XPS, TEM, SEM, XRD and other methods. Moreover, the photo-catalytic activity of the composite catalysts under visible-light region was tested, and the influences of nitrogen content and calcinations temperature on the photo-catalytic activity were investigated. The results show that:(1) the range of light response of modified composite catalyst was expanded from ultraviolet region to visible-light region, which results in high visible-light catalytic activity in the degradation of methyl orange.(2) Through the mechanism of photo-catalytic reaction and the treatment effect analysis, MnO2 as catalytic resulting O2 can be served as a good electronic capture agent and improve the reaction efficiency.(3)With the reduction of nitrogen content,and the increase of calcination temperature, the visible-light catalytic activity was weakened.(4) The activity of catalyst was reused six times, without significant reduction and had excellent efficiency and stability.

Abstract The AgCl-sensitized TiO2 (TiO2@AgCl) has been prepared from the precursor of TiO2-rutile type which on its surface adsorb chloride anion (Cl-) and various amounts of silver using AgNO3 as starting material: AgNO3/(AgNO3+TiO2) mass ratio of 0.00, 1.14, 3.25, 6.38 and 10.32%. Reflux under alkaline condition was the employed technique. All samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopy. The sample without the addition of AgNO3 was analyzed by scanning electron microscope and surface area analyzer. The morphology of the sample showed a distribution of microspheres of approximately 0.5 to 1.0 µm and the specific surface area was 68 m2/g. XRD patterns indicated that the sample without the addition of AgNO3 contained two types of TiO2: rutile (major) and anatase (minor), whereas the samples with the addition of AgNO3 consisted of one phase of AgCl and two types of TiO2: rutile and anatase. The bandgaps of the samples were in the range of 2.97 to 3.24 eV, which were very close to the bandgap of intrinsic TiO2 powder. The presence of 0.8, 2.6 and 4.4 wt% of AgCl in each sample resulted in an additional bandgap in visible light region of 1.90, 1.94 and 2.26 eV, respectively, whereas the presence of 9.4 wt% of AgCl in the sample resulted in two bandgaps in visible light region of 1.98 and 1.88 eV.
