Abstract

The photocatalytic degradation of phenol, naphthalene, fluoranthene, phenanthrene, pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, and anthracene was investigated using a novel nitrogen-doped TiO₂/acid-soluble collagen-polyvinyl pyrrolidone nanocomposite (N-TiO₂/ASC-PVP). Characterization through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the nanocomposite consists of spheroidal particles smaller than those of undoped TiO₂. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the incorporation of nitrogen within the TiO₂ lattice, appearing as both substitutional nitrogen (OTiN) and interstitial nitrogen (TiON). The degradation process followed apparent first-order kinetics, with the N-TiO₂/ASC-PVP calcined at 200°C and 400°C demonstrating high photocatalytic degradation efficiencies. The nanocomposite achieved a remarkable 98.6% degradation of the targeted compounds within 120 minutes at a concentration of 10 mg/L. The enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light can be attributed to several factors: the smaller crystal size, increased surface hydroxyl groups, improved visible light absorption, and a reduced band gap energy. This N-TiO₂/ASC-PVP photocatalyst shows significant potential for applications in materials science and nanotechnology, supporting advancements in environmental and energy-related fields.

氮-二氧化钛中嵌入的新型酸溶性胶原-聚乙烯吡咯烷酮聚合物光催化降解水中的苯酚和多环芳烃

利用新型氮掺杂 TiO2/酸溶性胶原-聚乙烯吡咯烷酮纳米复合材料（N-TiO2/ASC-PVP）研究了苯酚、萘、荧蒽、菲、芘、苯并[a]蒽和蒽的光催化降解。通过 X 射线衍射 (XRD)、扫描电子显微镜 (SEM) 和透射电子显微镜 (TEM) 分析表明，该纳米复合材料由比未掺杂 TiO2 更小的球形颗粒组成。X 射线光电子能谱（XPS）证实了二氧化钛晶格中含有氮元素，表现为置换氮（OTiN）和间隙氮（TiON）。降解过程遵循明显的一阶动力学，在 200°C 和 400°C 煅烧的 N-TiO2/ASC-PVP 具有很高的光催化降解效率。当目标化合物的浓度为 10 毫克/升时，纳米复合材料在 120 分钟内的降解率高达 98.6%。在可见光下光催化活性的增强可归因于几个因素：晶体尺寸变小、表面羟基增加、可见光吸收率提高以及带隙能降低。这种 N-TiO2/ASC-PVP 光催化剂在材料科学和纳米技术领域的应用潜力巨大，有助于推动环境和能源相关领域的发展。
