Abstract

Decoration of a functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (f-MWCNT) surface with titanium dioxide (TiO2) was designed to improve its photocatalytic degradation performance. Structural decoration was achieved by microwave heating at various mass ratios (1:2; 1:4; 1:8; 1:16 wt.%) of titanium (IV) isopropoxide as precursor. The hybrid structure of TiO2/f-MWCNT was characterized by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The crystallite form of the TiO2 nanoparticles was further studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and HR–TEM. We report the conformation of high-density TiO2 coated on an f-MWCNT surface at a mass ratio of 1:16 wt.%. XRD analysis revealed a structural transformation from mixture phase (anatase–brookite) at mass ratios of 1:2 and 1:4 wt.% to fully anatase phase for mass ratios of 1:8 and 1:16 wt.%. The transformation was also confirmed by selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and HR–TEM analysis. Our results showed that anatase phase plays a significant role in photodegradation activity.

微波辅助合成功能化多壁碳纳米管-二氧化钛杂化结构及其光降解

设计了用二氧化钛（TiO2）修饰功能化多壁碳纳米管（f-MWCNT）表面，以提高其光催化降解性能。通过在不同质量比（1:2；1:4；1:8；1:16wt%）的异丙氧基钛（IV）作为前体的微波加热来实现结构装饰。用扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜对TiO2/f-MWCNT的杂化结构进行了表征。通过X射线衍射（XRD）和HR–TEM进一步研究了TiO2纳米颗粒的微晶形式。我们报道了以1:16 wt.%的质量比涂覆在f-MWCNT表面上的高密度TiO2的构象。XRD分析显示，从质量比为1:2和1:4 wt.%时的混合相（锐钛矿-板钛矿）到质量比为1:8和1:16 wt.%时的完全锐钛矿相的结构转变。选区电子衍射（SAED）和HR–TEM分析也证实了这种转变。结果表明，锐钛矿相在光降解活性中起着重要作用。
