Reducing urea consumption in hydrothermal synthesis of TiO2 with exposed (001) facets via steam splitting of layered titanate K2Ti2O5
While using urea as a substitute for HF in the hydrothermal treatment of titanates represents a more environmentally benign approach for synthesizing TiO2 with high exposure of (001) facets, this method still necessitates substantial urea consumption. In this study, we demonstrate that pretreatment of K2Ti2O5 with steam treatment followed by acid washing (yielding titanic acid 2TiH-mP, 225 m²/g) significantly reduces urea requirements during subsequent hydrothermal processing, compared to titanic acid obtained through direct acid washing of K2Ti2O5 (2TiH, 19 m²/g). Hydrothermal treatment in 0.5 M urea at 200 °C for 24 h yielded titanium dio1xide with 47 % (001) facet exposure from 2TiH-mP, versus 27 % from 2TiH. The 2TiH-mP-derived crystals exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity in methylene blue degradation, with optimal samples achieving 68 % (001) facet exposure. This performance enhancement is attributed to abundant unsaturated Ti5C sites on the (001) facets, which serve as highly active centers for adsorption and degradation processes.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
