WO3修饰TiO2纳米管阵列制备、表征及光催化活性

Preparation, Characterization and Photocatalytic Activity of Titania Nanotube Arrays Decorated with Tungsten Trioxide

摘要:

利用化学浴沉积 (CBD) 结合热解工艺制备了WO₃修饰TiO₂纳米管 (WTN) 阵列, 且WTN阵列分布均匀。通过改变沉积时间可调整WTN的钨含量。利用SEM、EDX、XRD对WTN进行了表征。结果表明,阴极氧化后,TiO₂纳米管生长于钛体基体上,纳米管的内径为90~120 nm, 外径为120~160 nm,壁厚在30~60 nm范围,长约39 μm。经C. I.硫化红14的有效去除证实, 修饰TiO₂纳米管的WO₃增强了WTN光催化活性, 在可见光照射下,所制备复合膜光催化活性优于未修饰纳米管阵列 (TN)。

Abstract:

Titania nanotube arrays decorated with WO₃ (WTN) were fabricated by a chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique in combination with a pyrolysis process. The products were uniform and the amount of tungsten can be easily adjusted by the deposition time. The resultant hybrid nanotubes arrays were characterized by SEM, EDX and XRD. Results show that titania nanotubes with an internal diameter of the tubes 90~120 nm, an external diameter 120~160 nm, wall thickness in the range of 30~60 nm and a length of 39 μm are grown on titanium substrate by anodizing. The tungsten trioxide is i decorated on the titania nanotubes, which enhances the photocatalytic activity of the WTN, as indicated by the efficient removal of C.I. Sulphur Red 14. The resultant composite films show better photocatalytic activity than the non-decorated nanotube arrays (TN) under visible light illumination.
