Abstract
One-step additive manufacturing of functional ceramics via Digital Light Processing (DLP) is still under development. The increased demand of such kind of materials creates new opportunities to investigate alternatives and new methodologies. In this work, a combination of photocurable SiO2 slurries with Ti metal precursor (titanium isopropoxide, TIPO) is used to fabricate SiO2-TiO2 materials by DLP. Slurries with different solids content and metal precursor concentration were prepared. The obtained materials were characterized and evaluated as photocatalysts. The anatase-TiO2 phase was retained at temperatures as high as 1200 ºC in all cases, although for higher concentrations the rutile phase was also detected at such temperature. From the methylene blue degradation experiments it can be extracted that the SiO2 surface was fully covered when a 10 wt% of metal precursor was added, and the highest photocatalytic activity was obtained for the samples with 10–20 wt% of TIPO sintered at 1000–1100 ºC/1 h.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
