Evidence of rutile-to-anatase photo-induced electron transfer in mixed-phase TiO2 by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
With ethanol as a probe molecule, the surface sites of anatase and rutile can be distinguished using (13)C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy, which offers an opportunity to investigate the transfer of photo-induced electrons from rutile to anatase in the mixed-phase TiO2.

Synergistic effect between anatase and rutile TiO2 nanoparticles in dye-sensitized solar cells.
A synergistic effect between anatase and rutile TiO2 is known, in which the addition of rutile can remarkably enhance the photocatalytic activity of anatase in the degradation of organic contaminants. In this study, mixed-phase TiO2 nanocomposites consisting of anatase and rutile nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared for use as photoanodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and were characterize...
متن کاملEffect of various fuels on structure and photo-catalytic activity of TiO2 nano-crystalline prepared by microwave-assisted combustion method
Nano-crystalline TiO2 were synthesized by combustion method using metal nitrate solution and urea, glycin and citric acid fuels. Microwave irradiation was used as heating source. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope as well as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were performed to characterize the obtained samples. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that in the case of citric aci...
متن کاملTiO2-Based Nanomaterials for Gas Sensing—Influence of Anatase and Rutile Contributions
The paper deals with application of three nanomaterial systems: undoped TiO2, chromium-doped TiO2:Cr and TiO2-SnO2 synthesized by flame spray synthesis (FSS) technique for hydrogen sensing. The emphasis is put on the role of anatase and rutile polymorphic forms of TiO2 in enhancing sensitivity towards reducing gases. Anatase-to-rutile transformation is achieved by annealing of undoped TiO2 in a...
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...
متن کاملBand alignment of rutile and anatase TiO2
The most widely used oxide for photocatalytic applications owing to its low cost and high activity is TiO2. The discovery of the photolysis of water on the surface of TiO2 in 19721 launched four decades of intensive research into the underlying chemical and physical processes involved2–5. Despite much collected evidence, a thoroughly convincing explanation of why mixed-phase samples of anatase ...
