研究目的
To develop a synthesis method of new amorphous titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles with a high surface area and a large amount of OH groups, and to examine the increase in CO2 adsorption by modifying the surface with ethylenediamine.
研究成果
The study successfully synthesized amorphous TiO2 nanoparticles with a high surface area and large amount of OH groups, which were effectively modified with ethylenediamine to enhance CO2 adsorption capacity. The high CO2 adsorption capacity is attributed to the high specific surface area, large amount of OH groups, and optimized amine loading without pore blocking. The new amorphous TiO2 nanoparticles are promising materials for CO2 adsorption.
研究不足
The study acknowledges that excessive amine modification can cause pore blocking, reducing the surface area and covering OH groups on the surface, which may limit the CO2 adsorption capacity.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of amorphous TiO2 nanoparticles using titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) mixed with THF and water, followed by modification with ethylenediamine (EDA). The crystallinity, particle size, and morphology were evaluated using XRD and TEM. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms were measured to calculate the specific surface area and pore volume. FT-IR spectra were recorded to confirm the presence of OH groups and amine modification. The amount of EDA loaded was measured by thermogravimetry (TG) analysis, and CO2 adsorption isotherms were measured at 0 ?C.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples included amorphous TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized with THF (a-TiO2-THF), TiO2 synthesized without THF (TiO2-solventless), and commercially available P25-TiO2. MCM-41 was also modified with EDA for comparison.
3：MCM-41 was also modified with EDA for comparison.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment used included PANalytical X’Pert PRO for XRD, Hitachi H800 electron microscope for TEM, BELSORP-max for nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, Shimadzu IRAffinity-1 for FT-IR spectra, and thermogravimetry for measuring the amount of EDA loaded.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved mixing TTIP with THF and water, stirring, centrifugation, and drying. Amine modification was done by impregnation, followed by stirring, centrifugation, washing, and drying. Characterization involved XRD, TEM, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, FT-IR, TG analysis, and CO2 adsorption measurements.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The specific surface area was calculated by the BET method, pore size distribution and pore volume by the BJH method, and the amount of EDA loaded by TG analysis.
