{"title":"Precursor-concentration-controlled Morphology of TiO2 Nanorod/Nanoflower Films for Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting and Investigating Their Growth Mechanism","authors":"Sawsan Abdullah Abduljabbar Anaam, M. Z. Sahdan","doi":"10.9767/bcrec.20061","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9767/bcrec.20061","url":null,"abstract":"Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been considered as one of the most promising photocatalysts for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Therefore, numerous efforts have been devoted to improving its PEC water splitting performance. In this study, TiO2 nanorod/nanoflower (NRF) films with controlled morphology were synthesized on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrates by following a facile one-step hydrothermal method. The TiO2 NRF films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer. FE-SEM showed that the TiO2 films are composed of a simultaneous growth of a primary layer of TiO2 nanorod arrays (NRAs) and a second layer of TiO2 nanoflowers (NFs). The proposed growth mechanism highlighted the influence of precursor concentration on nucleation sites, affecting the preferred crystallographic plane growth of rutile TiO2 and nanorod alignment on the FTO substrate. Intriguingly, TiO2 NRF films prepared with 1.0 mL of titanium butoxide exhibited a maximum photocurrent density of 3.58 mA.cm−2 at 1.23 V versus (vs.) the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), along with a maximum photoconversion efficiency of 0.69%. The enhanced photocurrent density and photoconversion efficiency were attributed to the optimum thickness in the range of 4.52-7.31 µm, which caused the film to be formed with a unique morphology of the primary layer with well-vertically aligned nanorods and the second layer of flowers consisting of numerous rods stacked on top of one another. This study demonstrates the importance of designing semiconductors with 1D nanorod/3D nanoflower structures as high-performance photoelectrodes for PEC water splitting.

Metal Organic Framework (MOF) can be used as a catalyst to oxidize 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), producing FDCA. MOF-199 and Ni-BTC were synthesized using solvothermal method with trimesic acid (benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid/H3BTC) as a linker and Cu or Ni as a metal nod.

Typically, MOFs are synthesized using solvothermal techniques at high temperatures and pressures. In this study, a novel approach was employed to synthesize zinc-based MOFs, specifically MOF-5, at low temperatures (up to 50 °C) via chemical mixing at standard pressures. Varying the temperature and solvents, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), in the chemical mixing process, the highest yield of the material was observed with DMF at 50 °C (M1). Two additional samples, M2 and M3, are synthesized at room temperature using DMF and NMP, respectively. Despite similarities in XRD, Raman, and FTIR analyses confirming successful MOF-5 formation, noticeable differences in sample morphology arise due to distinct synthesis conditions, particularly solvent and temperature variations. The MOF-5 samples exhibit UV absorption with varying band gaps. Notably, when employed as photocatalysts for organic dye (methylene blue) degradation, M2 outperforms others, achieving an impressive 85% degradation under simulated solar light irradiation. This work underscores the significance of tuning MOF photocatalyst properties through tailored synthesis routes, recognizing the profound impact of morphology and elemental composition on enhancing photocatalytic dye degradation performance.

TiO2 micro powder was mixed with 10M NaOH with the variation of TiO2/NaOH mole ratio (0.005:1, 0.015:1, and 0.025:1). The hydrothermal process was then conducted at 130 ℃ in an autoclave for 24 h with stirring time intervals of 10, 15, and 20 minutes/h. The samples underwent 1 M HCl washing to produce diverse pH variations (pH = 2, pH = 3, and pH = 4). Characterization of the synthesized TNT was conducted using SEM, TEM, XRD, SAA, and UV-Vis DRS. After analysis of the micrographs revealed the fiber shape of the particles, it was noted that TNT particle size increased due to smaller mole ratio variation, longer stirring, and lower pH. The synthesized TNT featured a tubular morphology with an inner diameter of 3.30 nm, an outer diameter of 6.15 nm, and a wall thickness of 1.64 nm. The increase in sodium titanate content of the sample results in an increase in surface area. Additionally, small pore size contributes towards an increase in both surface area and total pore size. The best result of the TNT photocatalytic test against diazinon can be observed in the fifth sample with a mole ratio of 0.025:1, stirring time of 20 minutes/h, and washing pH of 3.

For this study, TiO2-ZnO nanocomposites were fabricated by the hydrothermal process; where ZnSO4.7H2O is used as a precursor and TiO2 is used as a supporting material. The prepared TiO2-ZnO nanocomposites were calcined at three distinct temperatures 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C. These composite materials were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analyzes. Basic Violet 14 (BV14), an industrial dye, was modelled to examine the photocatalytic role of TiO2-ZnO under different experimental setups such as calcined temperatures, catalyst loading, concentrations of the BV14 dye, pH, and light sources. TiO2-ZnO prepared at 500 °C acted as the best photocatalyst among three nanocomposites and the prepared TiO2-ZnO worked better than solitary TiO2 and ZnO to decolorize the BV14 dye. In the presence of sunlight, UV light, and visible light the percentages of degradation of BV14 were found to be 81.78 %, 69.58 %, and 31.24 %, respectively. The maximum photodegradation corresponded to 0.175 g/100 mL of suspension of nanocomposite with an initial 3.0×10−5 M of BV14 having solution pH 6.88. The surface reaction constant and Langmuir-Hinshelwood adsorption constant were obtained to be 5.5×10−8 mol.L−1.min−1 and 1.7×108 L.mol−1, respectively.

La2O3 doping effect on the activity and stability of Co,Ni,Pd/CaO catalysts was investigated in dry reforming of methane. Catalysts were characterized by several techniques (X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), Temperature Programmed Desorption H2 (H2-TPR), Transmission electron microscopes (TEM), and Temperature Gravimetric Analysis (TGA)) and were tested in a fixed-bed reactor at 900 °C and (Gas Hourly Specific Velocity (GHSV) = 15000 mL.gcat−1.h−1, atmospheric pressure).  Adding La2O3 had little effect on the morphology of the Co,Ni,Pd/CaO catalyst. However, it played a crucial role in enhancing the catalyst’s reducibility and CO2 adsorption at high temperatures, as indicated by the activity and stability of the Co,Ni,Pd/CaO catalyst.

In this study, we synthesized and investigated 1D/2D Bi2S3 as a potential visible-light-activated photocatalyst for the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI). The 1D/2D Bi2S3 was synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis technique by heating Bi2(H2O)2(SO4)2(OH)2 precursor and sodium sulfide at 190 ℃ for 24 h, where the molar ratio of Bi to S elements in the reaction reagents was changed from 1:6 to 2:3. The structure, composition, and optoelectronic properties of the prepared Bi2S3 were characterized using X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, field emission scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectra, and transient photocurrent. It is shown that the prepared orthorhombic Bi2S3 has full-spectrum photoresponsivity. Bi2S3-B with 1D/2D heterogeneous structure exhibits the lowest charge carrier transport resistance, and its photocurrent intensity is nearly twice that of Bi2S3-C. It demonstrates the highest photocatalytic activity in visible-light photocatalytic reduction of aqueous Cr(VI), with a reduction rate of 54.5% after 140 minutes of light exposure. According to the bandgap of Bi2S3 and radical scavenger experiments, a reaction mechanism for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) by Bi2S3 was proposed. Furthermore, the results highlight the economic and environmentally friendly nature of the hydrothermal synthesis method using homemade precursors, which allows for the regulation of Bi2S3 morphology and the enhancement of its visible photocatalytic activity.
