The present work demonstrates enhanced photocatalytic activity for zeolite-filled TiO2 nanotubes. ZSM-5 zeolite nanocrystals were grown on and into a TiO2 nanotubular skeleton (TiNT/ZSM-5) by multi-step hydrothermal synthesis consisting of in situ seeding and multiple in situ crystallization (MISC). The resulting zeolite nanocrystals were in the range of a few nanometers and they adhere well to the nanotubular inner walls. After crystallization, the photocatalytic activity of this zeolite-filled nanotube catalyst system was compared with neat anatase TiO2 nanotube (TiNT) and with calcined ZSM-5 powder. The results show for TiNT/ZSM-5 a highly enhanced efficiency for the decomposition of acetophenone (used as an aromatic model organic pollutant).
目前的研究表明,填充沸石的二氧化钛纳米管具有增强的光催化活性。通过由原位晶种和多次原位结晶(MISC)组成的多步水热合成法,在TiO2纳米管骨架(TiNT/ZSM-5)上并向其中生长了ZSM-5沸石纳米晶体。所得的沸石纳米晶体尺寸在几纳米范围内,并且它们很好地附着在纳米管内壁上。结晶后,将这种填充沸石的纳米管催化剂体系的光催化活性与纯锐钛矿型TiO2纳米管(TiNT)和煅烧后的ZSM-5粉末进行了比较。结果表明,TiNT/ZSM-5对苯乙酮(用作芳香族模型有机污染物)的分解效率有显著提高。
