研究目的
To improve the photocatalytic efficiency of commercial TiO2 for the mineralization of acetone as a model volatile organic compound (VOC) by developing a novel [Mo3S13]2?/TiO2 composite photocatalyst and evaluating its performance compared to pristine TiO2 and Pt/TiO2.
研究成果
The [Mo3S13]2?/TiO2 composite photocatalyst significantly enhances the photocatalytic mineralization of acetone compared to commercial TiO2, with an optimal loading of 1.7 wt% outperforming Pt/TiO2. The improvement is attributed to efficient electron transfer and charge separation facilitated by [Mo3S13]2?, as confirmed by EIS. Reactive species involved include superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and holes. Coating the catalyst on non-woven fabrics maintains the enhanced activity, making it a promising material for indoor air purification. Future work should focus on improving catalyst stability and testing with a broader range of VOCs.
研究不足
The study is limited to acetone as a model VOC; other VOCs may behave differently. The catalyst stability showed a decrease in activity over cycling runs due to intermediate product accumulation. The experiments were conducted under controlled laboratory conditions, which may not fully represent real-world indoor air environments. The use of non-woven fabric as a substrate may have scalability and durability issues in practical applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used an impregnation method to fabricate [Mo3S13]2?/TiO2 composites with varying [Mo3S13]2? loadings (0.6 wt%, 1.1 wt%, 1.7 wt%, 3.4 wt%) and compared them with Pt/TiO2 (1.5 wt%). Photocatalytic activity was evaluated under UV-vis light irradiation using acetone degradation as a model reaction. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and reactive oxygen species scavenging tests were employed to understand charge transfer and reaction mechanisms.
2:6 wt%, 1 wt%, 7 wt%, 4 wt%) and compared them with Pt/TiO2 (5 wt%). Photocatalytic activity was evaluated under UV-vis light irradiation using acetone degradation as a model reaction. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and reactive oxygen species scavenging tests were employed to understand charge transfer and reaction mechanisms. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: Commercial TiO2 (Degussa P25) was used as the base material. Acetone was chosen as the model VOC. Non-woven polypropylene fabric served as the substrate for catalyst deposition. Samples were synthesized and characterized using various analytical techniques.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
TiO2 powders (Degussa P25), non-woven fabric, ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate, carbon disulfide, silicon dioxide, chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate, ethanol, acetone, p-benzoquinone, toluene, ammonium polysulfide solution, barium sulfate, potassium iodide, coumarin. Equipment included X-ray diffractometer (Shimadzu XRD-6100), UV-vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu UV-2450), ICP-AES (iCAP6300, Thermo), FESEM (FEI & Oxford Sirion 200), TEM (JEOL-JEM-2010), XPS (AXIS Ultra DLD Kratos), FTIR spectrometer (Tensor 27, Nicolet 6700), contact angle meter (KRUSS GmbH), electrochemical workstation (ZAHNER PP211), gas chromatograph (GC-7900 with FID), and a 300 W Xe arc lamp.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
[Mo3S13]2? was prepared and immobilized on TiO2 via impregnation. The mixture was sonicated, stirred, centrifuged, washed, and dried. For fabric coating, suspensions were sprayed using an airbrush (U-STAR S-130) and dried. Photocatalytic tests involved milling catalysts with SiO2, placing them in a vessel with acetone under O2 atmosphere, irradiating with light, and sampling gas for GC analysis every 30 min. EIS and scavenger tests were conducted as per standard protocols.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using instruments' built-in software. CO2 production was quantified via GC. EIS data were interpreted to assess charge transfer resistance. Statistical analysis involved averaging measurements (e.g., contact angle from five measurements).
