Abstract:
Because the advantages of non-direct contact, remote control, high efficiency and fastness, light-driven reversible color switching materials (LDRCSMs) have important applications in information storage, display devices, sensors, and other fields. The combination of inorganic materials and organic materials to achieve synergies is one of the research hotspots of new LDRCSMs. A one-step liquid-phase synthesis method was used to prepare Mg-doped TiO2 nanocrystals (Mg-TiO2 NCs) with a particle size of similar to 5 nm. The reversible light-responsive color switching of methylene blue (MB) by using Mg-TiO2 NCs was investigated. The results show that Mg2+ doping generates impurity levels in the TiO2 lattice, effectively inhibiting the recombination of photogenerated carriers and increasing the activity of TiO2 photooxidation-reduced MB. On the other hand, Mg2+ doping can decrease the absorption wavelength of TiO2 NCs, which effectively represses the partial reduction of MB to reduced LMB under visible light irradiation, leading to a higher recoloration rate. Such LDRCSMs based on alkali metal-doped TiO2 NCs may have potential application in many optoelectronic device fields.
