A series of anatase TiO nanosheets with different percentage of {001} facets ({001}TiO) were synthesized through a hydrothermal route using tetrabutyltitanate as a titanium precursor and HF as a shape controlling agent. The amount of HF exhibits an obvious influence on the structures and activities of TiO samples. The adsorbed surface F ions on the {001} facets of the anatase TiO were removed by washing them with NaOH solution. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Brunner-Emmet-Teller measurements, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy techniques, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. The results indicated that all the as-prepared catalysts showed an anatase crystalline and nanosheet structure, as well as a strong ultraviolet light absorbance. With the increase of HF content, the crystallite size and the percentage of {001} facets increased first and later decreased, state the opposite change observed in BET. When the content of HF was 4.4 mL, the percentage of {001} facets reached the maximum up to 61.62%. After all samples were treated with 0.1 M NaOH solution, the percentage of {001} facets increased to a maximum of 64.46%. All the samples washed by NaOH solution exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity for NO oxidation under UV light irradiation than P25, {101}TiO, and {001}TiO without NaOH washing, suggesting that the surface F ions inhibited the photocatalytic NO oxidation. Moreover, the results showed that the NaOH-washed {001}TiO has a high humidity tolerance.
采用水热法,以四丁基钛酸酯为钛源,HF 为形貌控制剂,合成了一系列不同(001)晶面百分数的锐钛矿 TiO 纳米片({001}TiO)。HF 的用量对 TiO 样品的结构和活性有明显的影响。用 NaOH 溶液洗涤,去除锐钛矿 TiO (001)晶面上吸附的表面 F 离子。采用 X 射线衍射、Brunauer-Emmett-Teller 测量、紫外-可见漫反射光谱、扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜和 X 射线光电子能谱分析对所制备的催化剂进行了表征。结果表明,所有制备的催化剂均表现出锐钛矿晶型和纳米片结构,具有较强的紫外光吸收。随着 HF 含量的增加,锐钛矿的晶粒尺寸和(001)晶面的百分数先增加后减小,BET 观察到相反的变化。当 HF 的含量为 4.4 mL 时,(001)晶面的百分数达到最大值 61.62%。所有样品经 0.1 M NaOH 溶液处理后,(001)晶面的百分数最高可达 64.46%。经 NaOH 溶液洗涤后的所有样品在紫外光照射下对 NO 氧化的光催化活性均明显高于 P25、{101}TiO 和未经 NaOH 洗涤的{001}TiO,表明表面 F 离子抑制了光催化 NO 氧化。此外,结果表明,经 NaOH 洗涤的{001}TiO 具有较高的耐湿能力。
