Abstract

The core–shell nanocomposites of M@TiO 2 (M = Au, Pd, Pt) have been synthesized successfully via a facile hydrothermal treatment of TiF 4 precursor and noble metal colloid particles. Their properties were determined by a collection of joint techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction spectra (XRD), ultraviolet/visible diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), photoluminescence spectra (PL), and electron spin resonance spectra (ESR). Photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) in the liquid phase served as a probe reaction to evaluate the activity of the as-prepared M@TiO 2 (M = Au, Pd, Pt) core–shell nanocomposites under the irradiation of both visible light and ultraviolet (UV) light. The results reveal that these core–shell nanocomposites possess tunable photoreactivity. It is interesting to find that the incorporation of noble metal core into the shell of TiO 2 only contributes to enhancement of visible light photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 . The noble metal cores are believed to play an essential role in affecting the photoreactivity because they are able to trap electrons, improve the electron–hole pairs life, and enhance the visible light absorption intensity that are all beneficial for enhancement of the visible light photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 . However, the incorporation of noble metal core significantly lowers the UV light absorption intensity, thus leading to the obervation that, under UV light irradiation, the bare TiO 2 still exhibits higher activity than M@TiO 2 core–shell nanocomposites. The possible radical species involved in the degradation of RhB were analyzed by means of the PL and ESR techniques. Recycled activity tests demonstrate that the incorporation of metal core into the shell of TiO 2 will inhibit the photocorrison behavior and provide much better photocatalytic stability of M@TiO 2 (M = Au, Pd, Pt) nanocomposites than the bare TiO 2 . It is hoped that our work could render guided information for steering toward the design and application of TiO 2 -coated core–shell nanomaterials with tunable photocatalytic activity.

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.
