A microwave-ionothermal strategy was developed for in situ synthesis of CNTs threaded TiO2 single crystal with a tunable percentage of surface exposed (001) active facets. The CNTs were used as microwave antennas to create local "super hot" dots to induce Ti(3+) adsorption and hydrolysis, thereby leading to a good assembly of (001) facets exposed single crystalline TiO2 threaded by the CNTs in the presence of Hmim[BF4] ionic liquid. Due to the high percentage of the active (001) facets of single crystal TiO2 and the direct electron transfer property of the CNTs, the as-prepared CNTs-TiO2 composite showed a photocatalytic NO removal ratio of up to 76.8% under UV irradiation. In addition, with self-doped Ti(3+), the CNTs-TiO2 composite also exhibited an enhanced activity under irradiation with either solar lights or visible lights, showing good potential in practical applications for environmental remediation.
开发了一种微波-离子热策略,用于原位合成具有可调表面暴露(001)活性面百分比的碳纳米管贯穿的TiO₂单晶。碳纳米管用作微波天线以产生局部“超热点”,诱导Ti(3+)吸附和水解,从而在Hmim[BF₄]离子液体存在下,使碳纳米管贯穿的(001)面暴露的单晶TiO₂实现良好组装。由于单晶TiO₂的活性(001)面比例高以及碳纳米管的直接电子转移特性,所制备的碳纳米管-TiO₂复合材料在紫外光照射下表现出高达76.8%的光催化NO去除率。此外,由于具有自掺杂的Ti(3+),碳纳米管-TiO₂复合材料在太阳光或可见光照射下也表现出增强的活性,在环境修复的实际应用中显示出良好的潜力。
