It is shown that the rutile could hardly catalyze the degradation of the methyl orange and anatase is more effective for catalyzing the degradation than rutile. Moreover, the activities of mixed crystalline forms of TiO 2 vary with the change of the values of A/R , the best of which is 9∶1. Some characterizations with XRD, XPS and SPS were performed and explanations to the phenomena that exist in photodegradation are given out.展开更多

The results showed that the doping of Fe 3+ , Co 2+ , Ni 2+ and Cr 3+ in TiO 2 nanoparticles made the photocatalytic efficiency of the TiO 2 particles reduce and the higher the initial content of Fe 3+ , the lower the ability of TiO 2 in photocatalyzing the degradation of RB. But the doping of Zn 2+ and Cd 2+ , especially Zn 2+ , made the photocatalytic efficiency of the TiO 2 particles enhance, showing a great increase of the rate constant( k ) and the initial reaction rate( r ini ).展开更多

One stable couple of waves corresponding to the redox of the carboxylic acid group, which was supported by the IR experiments, was observed. The electrode process involved four electrons, while the rate determining step was a one-electron reduction. The SWNT film modified electrode showed nice electrocatalytic behaviors toward the oxidations of some biomolecules such as dopamine, epinephrine and ascorbic acid.展开更多

In this work, TiO2 nanotubules of the anatase form have been synthesized by sol-gel chemical method using porous anodic alumina as the template. Transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, infrared spectroscopy（IR） and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate the structure and morphology of the TiO2 nanotubules. The results showed that the diameter and length of the obtained nanotubules were determined by the pore size and length of the PAA template. It was founded that through control of immersion time, both tubules and fibrils can be prepared; in addition, the wall thickness of the nanotubules can be varied at will. The result indicated that the sol particles absorbed preferably to the pore walls of the PAA membrane due to the fact that the pore walls were negatively charged and the TiO2 particles were positively charged.展开更多

After refluxed in HNO 3, the ends of SWNT were opened and oxidized into carboxylate group, which may react with other reagents. For chemical modification of SWNT, the carboxyl terminated SWNT reacted with CH 3(CH 2) 15 NH 2 with the aid of the condensation agent DCC to obtain the derivatives of SWNT with the amido alkyl chain which enhanced the solubility of SWNT in organic solvent. The results of micro IR prove the formation of amido group in SWNT sample(\{ (CO)=\}1 647 cm -1 ). The FT Raman results show that SWNT sample preserve its structure after the condensation reaction( ω r=181 cm -1 ). [WT5HZ]展开更多
