Photocatalytic properties of TiO2 sol–gel modified nanocomposite films
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract TiO 2 nanocomposite films with different concentrations of TiO 2 MT-150A nanoparticles were immobilized on glass substrates using a dip coating process. The crystalline structure and surface chemical state of nanocomposite film properties were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The specific surface area and morphology of TiO 2 MT-150A nanoparticles were evaluated by the BET method and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM). The photocatalytic activities of films were evaluated by the methyl orange decoloring rate. XPS measurements showed that the oxygen amount (%) was related to the film composition. The composite film with 10 g/L MT-150A loading yielded the highest amount of surface oxygen (26.82%) and TiO 2 rutile showed the lowest amount of surface oxygen (13.67%) in the form of surface hydroxyl groups. The remaining oxygen was identified as lattice oxygen. In addition, the nanocomposite film with 10 g/L MT-150A loading yielded the highest photocatalytic activity.
