Array Structures

Pureα-Bi2O3with nanoneedle array structure was synthesized directly by hydrothermal method. The optic absorption of theα-Bi2O3paricles was cut off at ~483 nm and the band gap of theα-Bi2O3was estimated to be 2.57 eV. The photocatalytic activity of theα-Bi2O3samples was higher than TiO2under a visible light irradiation. As a conclusion, relative narrow band gap ofα-Bi2O3nanoneedle array compared to anatase and the special morphology of nanoneedle array structures may improve the photocatalytic activity in visible light irradiation.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

Nitrogen-loaded TiO2(N-loaded TiO2), a visible-light driven catalyst, was successfully synthesized by the modified sol-gel method. Physical characterizations of the as-prepared catalysts have been performed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Diffuse reflectance UVvisspectroscopy(DRUVvis), Raman spectroscopyand BETspecific surface areain order to obtain structure-activity relationship. Results from Raman spectroscopy clearly suggested that N atoms were incorporated into the TiO2crystal lattice as evidenced by the vibrational peak of TiN in TiO2-xNx.DR UVvis results also suggested that the nitrogen dopant might be responsible for narrowing the TiO2band gap energy, thus resulting in a shift towards the visiblelight region. Photocatalytic activity of N-loaded TiO2evaluated through the degradation of methyl orange (MO)under visible light irradiation (l> 400 nm) indicated that all N-loaded photocatalysts exhibited significantly higher activities than the unloaded TiO2and Degussa P25 TiO2. According to the results from DR UV-vis, XRD and BET studies, the enhanced photoactivity observed from N-loaded samples might be due to a decrease in TiO2band gap energy and/or changes in chemical and physical properties of the materials upon loading with nitrogen.
