Dramatic Visible Photocatalytic Degradation Performances Due to Synergetic Effect of TiO2with PANI

Zhang, Hao, Zong, Ruilong, Zhao, Jincai, Zhu, Yongfa·2008·Environmental Science & Technology

Abstract

The dramatic visible light photocatalytic activity was obtained for the degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation (lambda > 450 nm) after TiO2 photocatalysts were modified with monolayer dispersed polyaniline (PANI) via a facile chemisorption approach. Under visible light irradiation, PANI generated pi-pi* transition, delivering the excited electrons into the conduction band of TiO2, and then the electrons transferred to an adsorbed electron acceptor to yield oxygenous radicals to degrade pollutants. Also, the ultraviolet photocatalytic performance was enhanced to about two times compared with that of P-25 TiO2 photocatalyst. The high photocatalytic activity came from the synergetic effect between PANI and TiO2, which promoted the migration efficiency of photogenerated carriers on the interface of PANI and TiO2. Under ultraviolet light irradiation, photoinduced holes in TiO2 valence band could transfer into HOMO orbital of PANI and then emigrate to the photocatalyst surface and oxidize the adsorbed contaminants directly. The optimum synergetic effect was found at a weight ratio of 3.0 wt % (PANI/ TiO2).

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.
