Zhou M, Yu J: Preparation and enhanced daylight-induced photocatalytic activity of C,N,S-tridoped titanium dioxide powders. J Hazard Mater. 2008 Apr 15;152(3):1229-36. Epub 2007 Aug 7.
A simple method for preparing highly daylight-induced photoactive nanocrystalline C,N,S-tridoped TiO2 powders was developed by a solid-phase reaction. The as-prepared TiO2 powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, N2 adsorption-desorption measurements and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the photocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde under daylight irradiation in air. The results show that daylight-induced photocatalytic activities of the as-prepared TiO2 powders were improved by C,N,S-tridoping. The C,N,S-tridoped TiO2 powders exhibited stronger absorption in the near UV and visible-light region with red shift in the band-gap transition. When the molar ratio of CS (NH2) 2 to xerogel TiO2 powders (prepared by hydrolysis of Ti (OC4H9) 4 in distilled water) (R) was kept in 3, the daylight-induced photocatalytic activities of the as-prepared C,N,S-tridoped TiO2 powders were about more than six times greater than that of Degussa P25 and un-doped TiO2 powders. The high activities of the C,N,S-tridoped TiO2 can be attributed to the results of the synergetic effects of strong absorption in the near UV and visible-light region, red shift in adsorption edge and two phase structures of un-doped TiO2 and C,N,S-tridoped TiO2. |
