Abstract

Abstract Photocatalysts based on titanium dioxide have been prepared by a modified sol–gel process using different alkoxide precursors. Depending on the precursor and the calcination temperature of the gels, carbon-containing catalysts with large surface areas, capable to photodegrade p-chlorophenol (4CP) with visible light (λ>400 nm), have been obtained. Photodegradation and mineralisation were confirmed by HPLC and TOC measurements. The catalysts were characterised by physisorption of argon, elemental analysis, EPR, UV/VIS, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), FT-IR and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). A highly condensed, carbonaceous species formed during calcination is responsible for the photosensitisation. When used as a photoelectrode, the appearance of a photocurrent indicated the semiconductor nature of these novel materials. The catalysts exhibit a surprisingly good long-time stability despite of the carbonaceous nature of the sensitising species. It is also shown, that commercially available TiO2 can be photosensitised by impregnation with suitable alcohols followed by pyrolysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
