Photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohols in aqueous suspensions of rhodium ion-modified titanium(iv) oxide (Rh(3+)/TiO2) in the presence of O2 under irradiation of visible light was examined. In the photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde was obtained in a high yield (97%) with >99% conversion of benzyl alcohol. Rh(3+)/TiO2 photocatalysts having various physical properties were prepared using commercially available TiO2 powders as supporting materials for Rh(3+) to investigate the effect(s) of physical properties of TiO2 on photocatalytic activities of Rh(3+)/TiO2 for selective oxidation. Adsorption properties of benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde and benzoic acid on TiO2 were also investigated to understand the high benzaldehyde selectivity over the Rh(3+)/TiO2 photocatalyst. The reaction mechanism was discussed on the basis of the results of photocatalytic oxidation of various p-substituted benzyl alcohol derivatives.
研究了在可见光照射下,铑离子改性的二氧化钛(Rh(3+)/TiO2)水悬浮液中,氧气存在时苯甲醇的光催化氧化反应。在苯甲醇的光催化氧化反应中,苯甲醇的转化率>99%,苯甲醛的收率很高(97%)。以市售二氧化钛粉末为Rh(3+)的载体材料,制备了具有不同物理性质的Rh(3+)/TiO2光催化剂,以研究二氧化钛的物理性质对Rh(3+)/TiO2选择性氧化光催化活性的影响。还研究了苯甲醇、苯甲醛和苯甲酸在TiO2上的吸附性能,以了解Rh(3+)/TiO2光催化剂对苯甲醛的高选择性。基于各种对取代苯甲醇衍生物的光催化氧化结果,讨论了反应机理。
