Study on photocatalytic nitrobenzene reduction to aniline over hierarchical flower-like Cu/TiO2
-
摘要: 采用醇解溶剂热法制备金属Cu修饰的系列多级花状TiO2光催化剂（X% Cu/TiO2），并以可见光光催化硝基苯还原制苯胺为模型反应评价其光催化性能. 结果显示：3.3% Cu/TiO2光催化剂展现出优异的催化活性，可见光催化3 h硝基苯的转化率达到83%. 主要原因有两个方面：多级介孔结构增加了催化剂比表面积，促进了硝基苯吸附、扩散及其与催化剂的接触；金属Cu的引入降低了催化剂的带宽，增强了光生电子和空穴的分离能力，进而提升了其光催化性能. 此外，3.3% Cu/TiO2光催化剂表现出良好的稳定性，具有一定的潜在实用价值.Abstract: A series of metal Cu-modified hierarchical flower-like TiO2 catalysts (X% Cu/TiO2) was prepared by using an alcoholysis solvothermal method, and their photocatalytic performance were evaluated by using visible-light photocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline as a model reaction. The results show that 3.3% Cu/TiO2 photocatalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity, achieving 83% nitrobenzene conversion under visible-light irradiation for 3.0 h. There are two main attributions : firstly, the hierarchical structure enlarged the catalyst’s surface area and thus, improved the adsorption and diffusion of nitrobenzene and its contact efficiency with catalyst; secondly, the introduction of metal Cu reduced the catalyst’ energy band and enhanced the separation ability of photoelectron-hole, and thus enhanced the photocatalytic activity. In addition, 3.3% Cu/TiO2 also exhibits good stability and shows good potential in practical applications.
