Item type:Publication, Anatase/Rutile TiO2 composite thin films prepared via dip coating technique and their hydrophilicity, stability and photocatalytic activity(2018-01-01) ;Ibrahim, Ammar ;Phoohinkong, Weerachon; In this work, titanium dioxide (TiO<inf>2</inf>) mixed-phase powders were prepared by sonochemical process in combination with calcination at different temperature in range of 400C to 1000C. The as-prepared powders were dispersed with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as supported matrix of TiO<inf>2</inf> for homogeneous colloid and used as starting precursor for thin film coating. The designated thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by dip coating process. X-ray diffraction technique was employed to evaluate TiO<inf>2</inf> phase ratio meanwhile the film morphologies and hydrophilicity were investigated using scanning electron microscope and water contact angle, respectively. UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used to analyse the photcatalytic properties of the films. Photocatalytic activity of the prepared film was performed by mean of the decolorization of Rhodamine B dye solution under solar irradiation. The photocatalytic performance of assigned films was investigated and correlated mechanisms responsible for the activity are discussed.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A comparative study of sodium/hydrogen titanate nanotubes/nanoribbons on destruction of recalcitrant compounds and sedimentation(2017-04-01); Assabumrungrat, SuttichaiThe performances of sodium titanate nanotubes (Na-TT), hydrogen titanate nanotubes (H-TT), sodium titanate nanoribbons (Na-TR) and hydrogen titanate nanoribbons (H-TR) on adsorption, photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) and sedimentability were investigated. The intrinsic property of Na-TT with high hydroxyl groups (anionic) provided a strong electrostatic interaction between the MB (cationic) under dark condition. The equilibrium and kinetic adsorption were fitted with Langmuir isotherm models and the pseudo-second-order model, respectively. That is, Na-TT showed the best maximum adsorption capacity of 178.6 mg/g and adsorption kinetics of 0.119 g/mg·min. When the light is turned on, H-TT showed advance its photocatalytic reaction rate of 1.16 × 10<sup>−2</sup> min<sup>−1</sup> compared with Na-TT (the reaction rate of 1.02 × 10<sup>−2</sup> min<sup>−1</sup>). This attributed the saturated MB adsorption on Na-TT obstructed capacity to absorb photons, and thus the reaction gradually occurred. For the separation of photocatalysts from the suspension by adding alum as coagulant, Na-TT afforded the best sedimentability of which remaining Na-TT in water was approximately 5%. This study demonstrates that adsorption, degradation and sedimentability were governed by the surface area and crystal structure, which revealed increasing the performance in the order TiO<inf>2</inf> < H-TR < Na-TR < H-TT < Na-TT. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Photocatalysis of heat treated sodium- and hydrogen-titanate nanoribbons for water splitting, H2/O2 generation and oxalic acid oxidation(2013-04-09); ;Iwase, Akihide ;Scott, JasonAmal, RoseThe photocatalytic activity of sodium titanate (Na<inf>1.48</inf>H<inf>0.52</inf>Ti<inf>3</inf>O<inf>7</inf>), sodium hexatitanate (Na<inf>2</inf>Ti<inf>6</inf>O<inf>13</inf>), and hydrogen titanate (H<inf>2</inf>Ti<inf>3</inf>O<inf>7</inf>) nanoribbons and anatase TiO<inf>2</inf> nanorods were compared for water splitting, oxalic acid photodegradation and H<inf>2</inf> and O<inf>2</inf> generation using sacrificial agents. The intrinsic properties of the materials were found to affect their performance depending on the particular reaction system. The Na<inf>2</inf>Ti<inf>6</inf>O<inf>13</inf> nanoribbons, in the presence of RuO<inf>2</inf> co-catalyst, outperformed the anatase nanorods, for the water splitting reaction, generating over 10 times more H<inf>2</inf>/O<inf>2</inf>. This was thought to derive from their tunnel-like structure which provided better electron/hole separation when compared with TiO<inf>2</inf>. However, the efficient holes and electrons scavenging in the presence of sacrificial agents, methanol or AgNO<inf>3</inf>, to generate H<inf>2</inf> or O<inf>2</inf>, respectively, overwhelmed the tunnel-like structure effect. In this case photoactivity was governed by the crystal structure, with observed decreasing activity in the order TiO<inf>2</inf>>Na<inf>2</inf>Ti<inf>6</inf>O<inf>13</inf>>H<inf>2</inf>Ti<inf>3</inf>O<inf>7</inf>~Na<inf>1.48</inf>H<inf>0.52</inf>Ti<inf>3</inf>O<inf>7</inf>, and by the band gap of the semiconductor which determined its capacity to absorb photons in producing electron/hole pairs. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effect of nitrogen doping on optical and photocatalytic properties of TiO2 thin film prepared by spin coating process(2013-01-01); ;Khumtong, Thanakorn ;Rattanarak, Jiravat ;Techitdheera, WicharnNitrogen-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> thin films were prepared by spin coating on glass substrate. Different amount of nitrogen doped in TiO<inf>2</inf> matrix was 0, 3 and 10%. As-obtained films were annealed at 400°C for 2 h. The optical and photocatalytic properties of N-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> thin films were analyzed via UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The chemical properties were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and Raman spectroscopy. When doping TiO<inf>2</inf> with nitrogen, its absorption spectrum is shifted to visible region resulting to the enhancement of photocatalyst properties in dye photodegradation. Raman and FTIR patterns show that N-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> pattern is still identical to undoped TiO<inf>2</inf> pattern resulting to unsubstitutation of nitrogen atom in Ti-O bonding. © 2013 The Authors.1
