This study delves into the formation of polarons in different crystalline forms of TiO₂ and their connection with the materials’ structure. By employing density functional theory calculations with on-site Coulomb interaction correction (DFT + U), we provide a detailed analysis of the electronic polarization behavior in the anatase and rutile forms of TiO₂. We focus on the polarization properties of defect-induced and photoexcited excess electrons on various TiO₂ surfaces. The results reveal that the defect electrons can form small polarons on the anatase TiO₂(101) surface, while on the rutile TiO₂(110) surface, both small and large polarons (hybrid-state polarons) are formed. Photoexcited electrons are capable of forming both small and large polarons on the surfaces of both crystal types. The analysis indicates that the differences in polaron distribution are primarily determined by the intrinsic properties of the crystals; the structural and symmetry differences between anatase and rutile TiO₂ lead to the distinct polaron behaviors. Further investigation suggests that the polarization behavior of defect electrons is also related to the arrangement of electron orbitals around the Ti atoms, while the polarization of photoexcited electrons is mainly facilitated by the lattice distortions. These findings elucidate the formation mechanisms of different types of polarons and may contribute to understanding the performance of TiO₂ in different fields.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15956,"journal":{"name":"燃料化学学报","volume":"52 12","pages":"Pages 1877-1888"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143137307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, core-shell and loaded type of Ce-OMS-2 complexes (Ce-OMS-2@CeO₂ and CeO₂/Ce-OMS-2) were successfully prepared. Their textural properties were characterized and catalytic performance were carried out. The results showed that the core-shell Ce-OMS-2@CeO₂ material could maintain the mesoporous structure and significantly improve the mass transfer and adsorption of the reaction gas NO, thus improving the SCR efficiency. On the contrary, for the loaded CeO₂/Ce-OMS-2 catalyst, large amounts of CeO₂ deposited on the surface of Ce-OMS-2 and blocked the mesoporous structure. Furthermore, SO₂ reacted with CeO₂/Ce-OMS-2 to form lots of metal sulfate (manganese sulfate or cerium sulfate), which led to the deactivation of the active Mn sites. Therefore, the CeO₂/Ce-OMS-2 catalyst exhibited the low SCR activity and poor SO₂+H₂O tolerance during the SCR reaction. We also clarify the reason for the anti-sulfur of core-shell Ce-OMS-2@CeO₂ catalyst. In the presence of SO₂ and H₂O, SO₂ could easily react with NH₃ and H₂O to produce ammonium bisulfate (NH₄HSO₄, ABS) on the surface of the Ce-OMS-2 and CeO₂/Ce-OMS-2 catalysts. Then ABS can be physically deposited on the surface of the catalysts, thus blocking the active Mn sites to participate in the SCR reaction. Interesting, for the core-shell Ce-OMS-2@CeO₂ catalyst, the formed ABS could significantly be decomposed at low temperature, leading to the exposure of surface active Mn sites of the catalyst. Herein, it could maintain the efficient SCR performance over the Ce-OMS-2@CeO₂ catalyst. A dynamic balance of ABS formation and decomposition was achieved over Ce-OMS-2@CeO₂ even at low temperatures, which hindered the SO₂ poisoning during the NH₃-SCR reaction. As expected, the core-shell Ce-OMS-2@CeO₂ catalyst showed excellent SCR performance and SO₂+H₂O resistance (~100% NO conversion\tin the temperature range of 100–200 °C without SO₂, ~80% NO conversion for 4 h in the presence of SO₂).
