Porous and smooth TiO2 film electrodes prepared by sol-gel method were used on methyl orange degradation by an electro-assisted photocatalytic degradation process. Methyl orange cannot be degraded under applied potential solely below 2.0 V. When the applied potential was below 1.3 V, methyl orange degradation rates on porous TiO2 film increased from 5% at 0 V to 65.3% at 1.3 V, and degradation rates on smooth TiO2 film changed from 2.2% at 0 V to 61.1% at 1.3 V. Electro-assisted photocatalytic degradation rate on porous film was better than that on smooth film in the whole electrolyte concentration range. Electro-assisted degradation exhibited the same rising trend along with reaction time on the porous and smooth films.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

Porous and smooth TiO2 film electrodes prepared by sol-gel method were used on methyl orange degradation by an electro-assisted photocatalytic degradation process. When using the applied potential along, there was no obvious degradation of methyl orange whether using TiO2 film electrode prepared using PEG template or not. The largest difference between the two electrodes appears at potential of 0.7 V in 0.05 mol/l NaCl solution, and the porous electrode shows better degradation activity in electro-assisted photocatalytic degradation. When NaCl concentration was 0.07 mol/l, degradation rates on porous and smooth film electrodes were 51.16% and 32.35 %, respectively. After 100 min of irradiation, 90% of the methyl orange degraded on the porous TiO2 film electrode, and 79.87% of the methyl orange degraded on the smooth TiO2 film electrode.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

Porous and smooth TiO2 film electrodes prepared by sol-gel method were used on methyl orange degradation by an electro-assisted photocatalytic degradation process. The results indicates that methyl orange was barely degraded under the potential alone, availing that potential under 1.8 V had no noticeable effect on removal of the dye. The porous film electrode showed better electro-assisted photocatalytic activity than the smooth film electrode when the potential was above 0.6 V. The porous film showed better activity than the smooth film in nearly all the concentration range except for the highest one. The porous film exhibited better activity than the smooth one.

In this paper, nanostructured TiO2 film was prepared by the by sol-gel process and dip-coating technique with titanium tetraisopropoxide as a precursor. After heat treatment at 550 °C, the deposited film was characterized by means of micro-Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that the TiO2 film consisted of only the TiO2 anatase phase and showed a granular microstructure. Photocatalytic degradation of azithromycin by using sol-gel nanostructured TiO2 film was studied to define the most effective degradation process for potential use in wastewater treatment. Different factors were evaluated during photocatalysis, such as pH (3, 7, and 10), water matrix (ultrapure water and synthetic municipal waste water effluent), influence of another pharmaceutically active compound (sulfamethoxazole, one of the most often detected pharmaceutic compounds in waste waters), and radiation sources (low pressure ultraviolet (UV) mercury lamps with a UV-A and UV-C range; a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp with a radiation peak at 365 nm). The most effective degradation process was achieved with the UV-C irradiation source in matrices at pH 10. The water matrix had little effect on the photocatalytic degradation rates of azithromycin. The presence of sulfamethoxazole in the water matrix decreased the degradation rate of azithromycin, however, only in matrices with a pH level adjusted to 10. During the experiments, five azithromycin degradation products were identified and none of them showed toxic properties, suggesting effective removal of azithromycin. LED 365 nm as the irradiation source was not as effective as the UV-C lamp. Nevertheless, considering the cost, energy efficiency, and environmental aspects of the irradiation source, the LED lamp could be a “real-life” alternative.

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.

Porous TiO2 film was prepared by a sol-gel method using PEG1000 as pore forming template. The porous film and normal film were used as electrodes in a photoelectrocatalytic reactor. The functions of applied potential and concentration of NaH2PO4 to the photoelectrocatalytic degradation process of methyl orange were investigated. The results show that methyl orange cannot be degraded solely by the applied potential. Under the applied potential of 2 V, 49.9% of the initial dye can be removed on the normal TiO2 film electrode, which is much better than the 31.1% removal rate on the porous TiO2 film electrode. The normal TiO2 film electrode has better performance than the porous TiO2 film in the whole NaH2PO4 concentration range. After 80 min of reaction, degradation rate is 93.7% on the normal TiO2 film electrode. After 100 min of reaction, degradation rate is 89.7% on the porous TiO2 film electrode.

TiO2 porous film was dip-coated on glass substrate by sol-gel process using PEG1000 as template. The influences of calcination temperature and time were investigated. The absorption edges of the films calcinated at different temperatures have no obvious change, but the transmittances of the films can be affected. Methyl orange degradation rates are 30.1%, 33.8% and 38.3% on the films prepared at 450 oC, 480 oC, and 500 oC, respectively. The film calcinated at 500 oC for 2 h has the highest transmittance and the highest activity on methyl orange degradation, while the films calcinated for less or more than 2 h have much lower activities. After 30 min of irradiation, 38.3% of the initial methyl orange in the solution can be degraded on the porous TiO2 film calcinated at 500 oC for 2 h.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

A co-sol-gel method was used to prepare SiO2-doped TiO2. The amount of ethyl silicate added into the precursor, calcination temperature and time, adsorption equilibrium, and photocatalytic activity of the material were investigated as the factor of degradation efficiency. With the optimum composition of the precursor, the prepared gel calcinated at 500 oC for 3 h showed the highest photocatalytic activity. After 30 min stirring to reach adsorption equilibrium, adsorption contributed less than 2% to the total decoloration of methyl orange on the SiO2-doped TiO2 material. Photocatalytic methyl orange degradation continued with increasing irradiation time. Methyl orange degradation rates after 30 min and 100 min were 31.1% and 96.9%, respectively.

In this paper, TiO2/modified expandable graphite composite material was prepared through sol-gel method with the carrier of modified expandable graphite.The influence of this composite material prepared in different calcination environment and with different times of load on the effect of methyl orange solution’s photocatalytic degradation was studied. Results show that the photocatalytic effect is better by using the composite material with the same times of load in aerobic calcination than that in anaerobic calcination. In the same calcination environment, the photocatalytic effect with 5 times of load is better than that with 1, 2, 3 and 4 times of load. Whether in the aerobic calcination or in the anaerobic calcination, the photocatalytic effect is better if the composite material is loaded 5 times.

When potential was less than 1.2 V, electro-degradation rate was not more than 1.2% on both the films prepared using PEG or not. The film prepared with addition of PEG showed better degradation rates in the whole potential range than the film prepared without using of PEG. The highest degradation rates existed at 1.1 V of applied potential for both of the film electrodes, where degradation rate on film with PEG was 93.6% and the rate was 92.2% on the film without PEG. Methyl orange degradation rates increased with increasing KCl concentration from 0 to 0.7 mol/l, while degradation rates dropped down at even higher potential. Degradation rates increased with prolonged irradiation time for both of the two film electrodes.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

In this work, F-Sb codoped SnO2film electrode material has been prepared and used as an anode on titanium (Ti) substrate for degradation of methyl orange. The emphasis is laid on the effect of univalent cations fluoride doped during preparation of F-Sn codoped SnO2composites by sol gel method. The facts show that univalent cations fluoride could affects the electro-catalytic degradation rate of methyl orange by F-Sb codoped composite film on the Ti electrode. A promotion to the degradation rates of methyl orange could be observed when KF or NH4F was used as codopant but other fluoride codopant such as LiF, NaF or HF could slow the methyl orange degradation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to study structures and composition of the anode surface.
