摘要:

TiO2广泛用作半导体光催化材料,但由于自身对光利用率低(只吸收紫外光)、禁带宽度较大、光生载流子复合率极高,限制了它在相关领域的应用.为此,设计了Ti3+离子自掺杂来克服TiO2半导体材料的上述缺点,进而提高其光催化活性.在不引入其他元素的情况下,以TiOF2为原料,Zn粉为还原剂,在水热条件下采用拓扑相变法原位制备了具有可见光响应的Ti3+自掺杂空盒状TiO2(记为Ti3+/TiO2)催化剂材料.掺杂金属离子可以改变半导体TiO2的结晶度和产生晶格缺陷,形成电子或空穴的捕获中心,影响电子-空穴对的复合;同时,掺杂金属离子产生的晶格缺陷有利于Ti3+和氧空位的形成,有利于提高TiO2的量子效率.Ti3+掺杂是一种既清洁又未引入其他金属离子的掺杂改性方法,它能有效保持催化剂的结构和形貌不受其他金属离子的影响.总之,金属离子掺杂有效拓展了TiO2的光吸收范围,并极大地提高了TiO2的光催化活性.
本文研究了不同量的还原剂对催化剂空盒状TiO2结构形貌影响,以及在可见光下光催化降解罗丹明B反应性能,发现Ti3+/TiO2催化剂均拥有非常好的光催化活性,其中R0.25催化剂在可见光下120min,RhB降解率达到96%,是TiO2的4倍多.且可循环使用5次的光催化循环降解实验后,表现出较高的稳定性.催化剂经过Ti3+自掺杂后,对催化剂自身的空盒状结构形貌并无很大的影响,随着还原剂Zn粉的量增加,Ti4+还原形成Ti3+数量增加,导致形成更多的氧空位.皆为锐钛矿型TiO2,与未掺杂Ti3+的TiO2比较发现,自掺杂Ti3+的TiO2的(105)XRD衍射峰越来越尖锐,(004)衍射峰越来越宽.随着还原剂Zn粉质量的逐渐增加,催化剂的光响应范围拓宽到可见光区,且逐渐增强.这说明Ti3+的掺杂不仅提高了TiO2在可见光的响应能力,也提高了TiO2在紫外光范围的响应能力.另外,掺杂后的TiO2禁带宽度的减小,使其价带上的电子更容易被可见光激发,产生更多的电子-空穴对参与光催化反应,从而提高TiO2的光催化效率.

Abstract:

Ti3+ self-doped anatase three-dimensional (3D) TiO2 hollow nanoboxes were synthesized via a topological transformation process involving template participation by a facile one-pot hydrothermal treatment with an ethanol solution of zinc powder and TiOF2. It is worth noting that the 3D TiO2 hollow nanoboxes are assembled from six single-crystal nanosheets and have dominant exposure of the {001} facets. It is found from EPR spectra that adding zinc powder is an environment-friendly and effective strategy to introduce Ti3+ and oxygen vacancy (Ov) into the bulk of 3D hollow nanoboxes rather than the surface, which is responsible for their enhanced visible photocatalytic properties. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by measuring the formation rate of hydroxide free radicals using 7-hydroxycoumarin as a probe. The sample prepared with zinc/TiOF2 mass ratio of 0.25 exhibited the highest RhB photodegradation activity under visible-light irradiation with a degradation rate of 96%, which is 4.0-times higher than that of pure TiO2. The results suggest a novel approach to construct in-situ 3D hierarchical TiO2 hollow nanoboxes doped with Ti3+ and Ov without introducing any impurity elements for superior visible-light photocatalytic activity.
