Photocatalytic oxidation of acetone vapor on TiO2/ZrO2 thin films
The photocatalytic oxidation of acetone vapor on TiO2/ZrO2 thin films is presented in this study. Acetone conversion data collected using a non-circulating tubular reactor are analyzed using a general power law model and a Langmuir–Hinshelwood– Hougen–Watson (LHHW) model; the LHHW model provides a slightly better fit than the 1/2 order power law model. The effects of reaction temperature and re...
متن کاملPreparation of hollow TiO2 nanoparticles through TiO2 deposition on polystyrene latex particles and characterizations of their structure and photocatalytic activity
In a mixed solvent of water and ethanol, polystyrene/titanium dioxide (PSt/TiO2) composite particles of core-shell structure were prepared by hydrolysis of tetrabutyl titanate in the presence of cationic PSt particles or anionic PSt particles surface-treated using γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane. Hollow TiO2 particles were obtained through calcination of the PSt/TiO2 core-shell particles to burn ...
متن کاملControllable Synthesis and Tunable Photocatalytic Properties of Ti3+-doped TiO2
Photocatalysts show great potential in environmental remediation and water splitting using either artificial or natural light. Titanium dioxide (TiO2)-based photocatalysts are studied most frequently because they are stable, non-toxic, readily available, and highly efficient. However, the relatively wide band gap of TiO2 significantly limits its use under visible light or solar light. We herein...
متن کاملHomogeneous synthesis of SiO2@TiO2 nanocomposites with controllable shell thickness and their enhanced photocatalytic activity.
Here we report the use of sulfuric acid as a catalyst for the facile and homogeneous synthesis of core-shell SiO(2)@TiO(2) nanocomposites using simple apparatus, under ambient pressure and temperature. The resultant SiO(2)@TiO(2) exhibits an ideal core-shell structure with uniform nanoscale TiO(2) coverage. The shell thickness of SiO(2)@TiO(2) can be conveniently tuned through adjustment of the...
متن کاملSignificant enhancement of photocatalytic activity of rutile TiO2 compared with anatase TiO2 upon Pt nanoparticle deposition studied by far-ultraviolet spectroscopy.
Absorption spectra of anatase and rutile TiO2 in the 150-300 nm region before and after the deposition of Pt nanoparticles were measured. For anatase TiO2, the spectral intensity in the longer wavelength region decreased (>∼210 nm), while that in the shorter wavelength region increased (<∼210 nm). In particular, spectral band intensity in the far-ultraviolet (FUV) region (∼160 nm) was increased...
