Herein we synthesized a novel structure of mesoporous TiO decorated on 1D ZnO nanorods for environmental remediation. The effect of mesoporous TiO over 1D nanorods were investigated. The phase transitions of nanocomposite were confirmed by powder diffraction analysis. The morphological investigation of synthesized TiO/ZnO catalyst revealed that the TiO are in porous in nature which covered the surface of 1D nanorods. The size of mesoporous TiO nanoparticles was about 10-15 nm. The chemical composition and elemental mapping results clearly evident that the presence of ZnO and TiO is distributed uniformly on ZnO nanorods. TiO/ZnO nanocomposite shows enhanced activity which degrades in 14 min under visible light irradiation. TiO/ZnO catalyst with 5 wt % exhibited the high photocatalytic activity (0.1882 min). It is proposed that a synergistic interaction between ZnO and TiO leads to a charge separation which leads to the enhanced activity.
在此,我们合成了一种新型的介孔 TiO 修饰的 1D ZnO 纳米棒,用于环境修复。研究了介孔 TiO 对 1D 纳米棒的影响。通过粉末衍射分析证实了纳米复合材料的相转变。合成的 TiO/ZnO 催化剂的形态研究表明,TiO 具有多孔性,覆盖在 1D 纳米棒的表面。介孔 TiO 纳米颗粒的尺寸约为 10-15nm。化学成分和元素映射结果清楚地表明,ZnO 和 TiO 均匀分布在 ZnO 纳米棒上。TiO/ZnO 纳米复合材料在可见光照射下 14 分钟内降解,表现出增强的活性。在 5wt%的条件下,TiO/ZnO 催化剂表现出较高的光催化活性(0.1882min)。据推测,ZnO 和 TiO 之间的协同相互作用导致了电荷分离,从而提高了活性。
