First Time

For the first time antimony vanadium oxide-TiO2(SbV-T) nanocomposite was synthesized via sol-gel method to improve the photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2. The samples were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDX, and DRS. To investigate the photocatalytic activity of the samples, the photodegradation of methyl orange was carried out under visible light irradiation with pure TiO2, SbVO4, and SbVO4-TiO2nanocomposite. The SbV-T photocatalyst exhibited higher visible light driven photocatalytic efficiency to degrade MO dye. Furthermore the effect of SbVO4 and cationic vacancies in the photocatalytic activity of the SbV-T sample are described.

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.

Abstract The present work mainly aimed to synthesize different weight percentages (0.25 Wt% - 1.00 Wt%) of Manganese (Mn2+) and Magnesium (Mg2+) bimetal ions doped TiO2 nanomarerial assisted with different weight percentages (5 Wt% - 15 Wt%) of Gemini Surfactant (GS) using sol-gel method. The bimetal doped and undoped TiO2 photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, FT-IR, UV Vis-DRS, TEM, BET and PL. Characterization results evinced that Mn2+/Mg2+ bimetal ions doping and encapsulation of GS on TiO2 nanoparticles promote the formation of mesoporous multi-particle anatase TiO2 nanocatalysts with narrowed band gap, less particle size and high surface area. The surface elemental composition of the MMT5-GS2 (after calcination) revealed the presence of both the metal dopants Mn2+ and Mg2+ along with the Ti and O and their chemical interactions were further confirmed by FT-IR results. The photocatalytic activity of these catalysts was assessed by the degradation of Methyl Red (MR) using visible light irradiation. To understand the effect of different reaction parameters on the photocatalytic activity of the nanocatalysts such as the dopant concentration, GS concentration, catalyst dosage, solution pH and initial dye concentrations were investigated and optimized to achieve best performance. The photoluminescence results conclude that OH radicals are the crucial reactive species responsible for oxidative photocatalytic degradation of MR.

Organic Framework

The yttrium based metal-organic framework (MOF) Y-PTC was synthesized by the solvothermal method using perylene as the linker and yttrium as metal ion. This study aims to assess the photocatalytic activity of yttrium-perylenetetracarboxylate (Y-PTC) metal-organic framework (MOF) toward methylene blue and methyl orange under visible light irradiation. The results of the FTIR analysis showed that Y-PTC MOF had a different structure and composition from its precursor (Na4PTC). The Y-PTC MOF has a bandgap energy value of 2.20 eV with a surface area of 47.7487 m2/g. The SEM-EDS analysis showed an elemental composition of yttrium, carbon, and oxygen, were 6.9%, 72.1% and 20.7%, respectively. Furthermore, Y-PTC MOF was able to adsorb dyes at the optimum by 78.10% and 35.57% toward methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) at the dispersion period of 60 mins. Y-PTC MOF exhibited photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of methylene blue and methyl orange under visible light irradiation. The addition of H2O2 inhibited Y-PTC photocatalytic activity towards MO degradation from 50.89% to 26.38%. In contrast to MO, the addition of H2O2 had a positive effect on MB, which increased the degradation from 87.56% to 91.65%. Therefore, Y-PTC MOF possessed the potential of a photocatalyst material in dyes degradation under visible light irradiation.

Nanocrystalline Tio2

The improvement of photocatalytic activity of TiO2-based nanomaterials is widely investigated due to the tentative of their industrialization as environmental photocatalysts and their inherently low solar spectrum sensitivity and rapid recombination of charge carriers. Coupling of oxygen-based bidentate diketone to nanocrystalline TiO2 represents a potential alternative for improving the holdbacks. Formation of TiO2-acetylacetone charge transfer complex (CTC) by sol-gel route results in a hybrid semiconductor material with photodegradation activity against toxic NOx gas. In this research, the influence of the chelating agent acetylacetone (ACAC) content on the CTC photocatalytic efficiency under visible light was evaluated. A high content of ACAC in the CTC is not a decisive factor for efficiency of photocatalytic reactions. In fact, the highest efficiency for NOx degradation (close to 100%, during 1 h of visible light exposure) was reported for the material calcined in air at 300 °C with the content of strongly bonded acetylacetone not higher than 3 wt.%. Higher calcination temperature (400 °C) left TiO2 almost completely depleted in ACAC, while at the highest applied temperature (550 °C) a portion of anatase was transformed into rutile and the sample is free of ACAC. The analyses pointed out that superoxide anion radical (O2−) plays an active role in photo-oxidation of NOx. Our findings indicate that this CTC has both high visible light spectral sensitivity and photocatalytic efficiency.

Synthesized Materials

New visible light driven photocatalysts of 1 mol% Cr doped TiO2 supported on TUD-1 have been successfully synthesized. The Cr-TiO2/xTUD-1 (x = 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50) photocatalysts were prepared via surfactant-free sol-gel method followed by wet impregnation procedures. XRD analysis revealed that both TiO2 and Cr were incorporated in the highly porous siliceous matrix. FTIR analysis showed the existence of Si-O-Ti in all the materials. As observed, tetrahedral-coordinated Ti species were dominant in Cr-TiO2/10TUD-1, Cr-TiO2/20TUD-1 and Cr-TiO2/30TUD-1. Meanwhile, octahedral- coordinated Ti species were the dominant species in Cr-TiO2/40TUD-1 and Cr-TiO2/50TUD-1. It has been demonstrated that the amount of TUD-1 as photocatalyst support affected the wavelength response and the bandgap energy of the resulting materials. All the materials have bandgap energy of ~2.9 eV. The photocatalytic performance of the synthesized materials was tested out in dye photodegradation under visible light irradiation at 298 K for 5 hours. Results showed that all Cr-TiO2/TUD-1 materials had higher photocatalytic activity than that of Cr-TiO2. This could be explained by the high surface area and porosity provided by TUD-1 in enhancing the adsorption and diffusivities of the dye molecules, hence leading to the promising photocatalytic activity. Among the materials prepared, Cr-TiO2/30TUD-1 appeared as the most superior photocatalyst which gave the highest dye photodegradation.
