Improvement of the Visible‐Light Photocatalytic Performance of TiO2 by Carbon Mesostructures

Abstract: An improvement in the photodegradation performance for dyes due to interaction between carbon and titania in a self-assembled mesoporous C-TiO(2) composite catalyst, even for the difficult degradation of azo dyes, is reported herein. The dye removal process involves adsorption of the dye from water by the mesoporous carbon-titania, followed by photodegradation on the separated dye-loaded solid. Such adsorption-catalysis cycles can be carried out more than 80 times without discernible loss of photocatalytic act… Show more

“…As shown in Fig. 7, the adsorption capacity of the Au/TiO2@C-MMs decreased in the second cycle [12], and after that, the adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity remained almost unchanged (91% after 6 cycles). This suggests that the Au/TiO2@C-MMs are quite stable during the adsorption and photocatalytic process.…”

“…Titania (TiO2) has been regarded as one of the most efficient photocatalysts since the first report by Fujishima and Honda [3][4][5][6], because of its high catalytic activity, good stability and low toxicity. After that, huge progress towards improving the photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2 has been made [7], such as band-tailoring by element doping [8,9], constructing mesoporous and/or array structures [10][11][12][13], and plasmonic sensitizing [14,15]. Nevertheless, TiO2 is generally regarded as non-selective because the degradation of organic compounds on TiO2 is enabled by nonselective oxidizing agents (e.g., OH radical) [16].…”

“…11, the MB removal efficiency was remain high and still higher than 95% after six consecutive runs, suggesting a 29 good stability and reusability for the ZnO/C-S-S materials. It is likely that the physical walls of the porous carbon provide a confined space for photocatalysis, [15] which can prevent the aggregation of ZnO nanoparticles, maintain the high dispersibility of ZnO particles in porous carbon matrix, therefore the composite materials can keep the high adsorption and degradation activity and enhance the stability for MB removal from water. …”

“…[12,13] In addition, removal of organic pollutants from industrial and household wastewater is also an important environment issue and carbon-semiconductor composites have been explored for organic pollutants removal from wastewater. [14][15][16][17] For example, porous carbon-TiO 2 composite acts not only as a photocatalyst under visible light and showed good photodegradation activity for organic pollutants, but also as an adsorbent to extract the pollutants through the pores of the matrix. [14][15][16] Similarly, porous carbon-doped ZnO composite also exhibited a good photocatalytic performance in terms of the degradation of organic pollutants under visible light.…”
