研究目的
Developing Fe-doped SrTiO3 photocatalysts with enhanced dinitrogen photofixation performance for ammonia synthesis under mild conditions without sacrificial reagents or metal co-catalysts.
研究成果
Fe-doped SrTiO3 (FexSr1-xTiO3) with x = 0.10 achieves the highest N2 photofixation activity (30.1 μmol g-1 h-1), 3.2 times higher than undoped SrTiO3, due to surface Fe3+ sites that chemisorb and activate N2 molecules, promoting electron transfer. At x > 0.10, α-Fe2O3 formation reduces activity by acting as recombination centers. The catalyst enables simultaneous N2 reduction and H2O oxidation without co-catalysts, offering potential for artificial photosynthesis using water as an electron and proton source.
研究不足
Fe3+ ions have limited solubility in the SrTiO3 lattice due to size mismatch with Sr2+ ions, leading to the formation of α-Fe2O3 composites at higher doping levels (x > 0.10), which act as charge recombination sites and reduce photocatalytic activity. The single SrTiO3 has larger particle sizes and lower surface area, limiting N2 adsorption and activation. The study is focused on specific doping ranges and may not cover all potential dopants or conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A series of Fe-doped SrTiO3 (FexSr1-xTiO3) products (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.20) were synthesized via a hydrothermal process followed by calcination at 700°C. The methodology includes material preparation, characterization, and photocatalytic activity evaluation to study the effects of Fe doping on N2 photofixation.

Materials include ethylene glycol, NaOH, deionized water, Nessler's reagent, and 15N2 gas.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involved dissolving precursors in ethylene glycol, adding NaOH, hydrothermal treatment at 200°C for 24 h, washing, drying, and calcination at 700°C for 4 h. Characterization included XRD, FESEM, TEM, XPS, XRF, PAS, EPR, M?ssbauer, PL, BET, in situ FTIR, N2-TPD, DRS, and photoelectrochemical measurements. Photocatalytic tests involved dispersing catalyst in water, bubbling N2, irradiating with Xe-lamp, and analyzing NH3 and O2 production.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis used techniques such as XRD pattern matching with JCPDS standards, XPS peak deconvolution, BET surface area calculation, Mott-Schottky plots for flat-band potential determination, and spectrophotometric methods for NH3 quantification.
