Undoped visible-light-sensitive titania photocatalyst
Source abstract
Abstract
Colorful rutile TiO2 was prepared by heating Ti2O3 at 550–900 °C to develop novel visible-light-sensitive and eco-friendly photocatalysts for environmental remediation under visible-light irradiation. The colors of the prepared samples, which ranged from grayish green to yellowish off-white via yellow differed from the reported colors of reduced TiO2, such as blue and black. The TiO2 prepared in this study was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV–Visible spectroscopy. These measurements showed that the TiO2 contained Ti3+-interstitial sites. The TiO2 was sensitive to visible light, and calculation of the band diagram demonstrated that this visible-light absorption is caused mainly by formation of Ti3+-interstitial sites in rutile TiO2. Among the prepared samples, the TiO2 prepared by heating Ti2O3 at 700 °C shows the highest photocatalytic activity under visible-light irradiation. In addition, the sample was further and mildly ground using a bead-milling machine. The ground sample possessed higher surface area and better photocatalytic activity.
