Photocatalytic oxidation surfaces on anatase TiO2 crystals revealed by single-particle chemiluminescence imaging.

چکیده
We report a single-particle approach for studying the photocatalytic oxidation reaction on individual anatase TiO(2) particles. Single-particle kinetic and imaging analyses of the chemiluminescence (CL) emitted from the probe dye molecules revealed that the oxidation reactivity is not significantly dependent on the crystal faces.

TiO2 photocatalysis
It is known that TiO2 exhibits good photocatalytic properties which could be used in various commercial applications such as water and air purification or photo-induced biodegradation of microbes. TiO2 occurs in nature in the form of three crystal polymorphs: anatase, brookite and rutile. For photocatalytic applications only anatase and rutile are of interest, however anatase shows greater phot...
متن کاملNanosized anatase TiO2 single crystals for enhanced photocatalytic activity.
Nanosized anatase TiO(2) single crystals with 18% {001} facets have a raised conduction band minimum by 0.1 eV, and exhibit photocatalytic activity both for generating *OH radicals and for splitting water into hydrogen that is markedly superior--by factors of 5.6 and 8.2, respectively--to reference ca. 3 microm anatase TiO(2) with 72% {001} facets.
متن کاملSupercritical Antisolvent Precipitation of TiO2 with Tailored Anatase/Rutile Composition for Applications in Redox Catalysis and Photocatalysis
TiO2 with tailored anatase/rutile composition has been prepared from the supercritical antisolvent (SAS) precipitation of a range of titanium alkoxides. The calcination of the SAS TiO2 was monitored by in situ powder X-ray diffraction to determine the optimal calcination conditions for the formation of a mixed anatse/rutile phase TiO2. The SAS precipitated material calcined at 450 °C produced a...
متن کاملAnatase TiO2 Single Crystals Exposed with High-Reactive {111} Facets Toward Efficient H2 Evolution
In this study, for the first time, {111} facet exposed anatase TiO2 single crystals are prepared via both F− and ammonia as the capping reagents. In comparison with the most investigated {001}, {010}, and {101} facets for anatase TiO2, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict that {111} facet owns a much higher surface energy of 1.61 J/m, which is partially attributed to the lar...
متن کاملStudy on Catalytic and Photocatalytic Decontamination of (2-Chloroethyl) Phenyl Sulfide with Nano-TiO2
Catalytic and photocatalytic reactions of (2-chloroethyl) phenyl sulfide (2-CEPS), a mimic of bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide (i.e. Sulfur mustard) were studied on the surfaces of titanium oxide. TiO2 nanoparticles (anatase, rutile and mixture of 80% anatase/20% rutile) along with bulk TiO2 were tested as reactive sorbents for reaction of 2-CEPS at room temperature (25±0.5°C). Reactions were monit...
