To enhance the utilization efficiency of visible light and reduce the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, spindle-shaped TiO photocatalysts with different Ti concentrations were fabricated by a simple solvothermal strategy using low-cost, environmentally friendly TiH and HO as raw materials and triethanolamine-aqueous as the medium. The photocatalytic activities of the obtained photocatalysts were investigated in the presence of visible light. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra were applied to characterize the structure, morphologies, and chemical compositions of as-fabricated Ti self-doped TiO. The concentration of triethanolamine in the mixed solvent plays a significant role on the crystallinity, morphologies, and photocatalytic activities. The electron-hole separation efficiency was found to increase with the increase in the aspect ratio of as-fabricated Ti self-doped TiO, which was proved by transient photocurrent response and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
为提高可见光的利用效率并减少光生电子与空穴的复合,以低成本、环境友好的TiH和HO为原料,三乙醇胺水溶液为介质,通过简单的溶剂热策略制备了不同Ti浓度的纺锤形TiO光催化剂。在可见光存在下研究了所得光催化剂的光催化活性。采用X射线衍射(XRD)、拉曼光谱、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和傅里叶变换红外(FT-IR)光谱对制备的Ti自掺杂TiO的结构、形貌和化学成分进行了表征。混合溶剂中三乙醇胺的浓度对结晶度、形貌和光催化活性有显著影响。通过瞬态光电流响应和电化学阻抗谱证明,制备的Ti自掺杂TiO的长径比增加,电子-空穴分离效率提高。
