New Insight for Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2 by Doping Carbon Nanotubes: A Case Study on Degradation of Benzene and Methyl Orange
Abstract
A carbon nanotubes (CNT)/TiO 2 nanocomposite photocatalyst has been prepared by a simple impregnation method, which is used, for the first time, for gas-phase degradation of benzene. It is found that the as-prepared CNT/TiO 2 nanocomposite exhibits an enhanced photocatalytic activity for benzene degradation, as compared with that over commerical titania (Degussa P25). A similar phenomenon has also been found for liquid-phase degradation of methyl orange. The characterization of photocatalysts by a series of joint techniques, including X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet/visible (UV/vis) diffuse reflectance spectra, and photoluminescence spectra, discloses that CNT has two kinds of crucial roles in enhancement of photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 . One is to act as an electron reservoir, which helps to trap electrons emitted from TiO 2 particles due to irradiation by UV light, therefore hindering electron−hole pairs recombination. The other is to act as a dispersing template or support to control the morphology of TiO 2 particles in the CNT/TiO 2 nanocomposite, and this important role was neglected in previous studies. Accordingly, a reasonable model is proposed to expain the role of CNT in CNT/TiO 2 composites as a photocatalyst for degradation of organic pollutants.

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.
