Abstract:
In this study, a non-metallic N-doped TiO(2)photocatalyst (N-TiO2) was fabricatedviafacile co-deposition methods using titanium isopropoxide (Ti(OC3H7)(4)) and ammonia as precursors, and exhibited superior photocatalytic activity and selectivity to pure TiO(2)on the degradation of NO under visible light irradiation at room temperature. The results ofin situdiffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (in situDRIFTS) suggested that NO was mainly adsorbed at Ti(4+)sites, and then formed the NO(+)active intermediates under visible light illumination. The co-adsorption of NO and molecular oxygen results indicated that the generation of the NO(3)(-)product over N-TiO(2)was mainly attributed to the interaction between the NO species adsorbed on the catalyst surface and active oxygen (O-) rather than the surface hydroxyl. Moreover, the UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), photoluminescence (PL) and the photocurrent and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) results showed that TiO(2)doped with N atoms not only enhanced the utilization efficiency of photo-generated charge carriers, but also promoted the formation of surface defects (e.g., oxygen vacancies) under visible light irradiation. Combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the O(2)temperature-programmed desorption (O-2-TPD) measurement analyses, it was found that oxygen vacancies not only facilitated the absorption and activation of molecular oxygen but also acted as a bridge between molecular oxygen and lattice oxygen in the catalyst (Ti4+<-> Ti3+). This resulted in an outstanding oxygen circulation between the Ti(4+)and Ti(3+)sites during the NO oxidation process under visible light irradiation. Thus, an enhanced NO removal efficiency and photocatalytic stability for NO oxidation occurred on N-TiO2.
