The Nd-doped TiO2 thin films with higher hydrophilic and photocatalytic activities were prepared on glass slides by an acid-catalyzed sol?gel method. The effects of Nd doping on crystalline phase, surface composition and optical property were investigated by means of techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), optical contact angle tester and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results show that Nd doping obviously influences the hydrophilic and photocatalytic activities of TiO2thin films. Nd doping could cause the TiO2 lattice distortion, inhibit phase transition from anatase to rutile, cause red shift of the absorption spectrum edge, produce hydroxyl radicals (·OH), and accelerate surface hydroxylation, which result in a significant improvement in the hydrophilicity and photoreactivity of Nd-doped TiO2 thin films. When the content of Nd is 0.1% (mass fraction), TiO2 thin films achieve the smallest grain size (about 15 nm), and the hydrophilic and photocatalytic activities of TiO2 thin film reach the maximum, the contact angle is only 8.1°, and 92% of methylene blue is finally degraded. Moreover, the modification mechanism of Nd doping was also discussed.
采用溶胶-凝胶法(sol-gel)、水热法和光沉积法制备了铂(Pt)负载量为0.5%的二氧化钛纳米管催化剂(TNT),并利用甲醇等醇类制氢。结果表明,所制备的催化剂具有良好的管状形貌;甲醇(CH3OH)和水在同等数量级上共同吸附在催化剂表面9h后制氢效率最高,核磁共振氢谱(1 H NMR)分析表明甲醇裂解制氢过程在催化剂表面进行,因氢键束缚产生的过渡产物无法脱附直至形成CO2;醇类碳链长度、支链数目、羟基数目以及苯环基团等都对醇类制氢有着不同的影响,制氢过程中醇分子与催化剂的吸附作用强弱和醇分子被羟基植入的难易程度是制氢效果差异的主要原因。
