摘要: TiO2的微观形貌、颗粒尺寸及比表面积是影响其光催化活性的重要因素,介观晶体是一类由无机纳米粒子沿着相同的结晶轴方向有序排列的超结构材料,在光催化领域中具有重要的研究价值。本工作以六氟钛酸铵和硼酸为钛源和氟离子捕获剂,以无水乙醇和去离子水的混合溶液为溶剂,采用简单绿色的方法制备了NH4TiOF3介观晶体前驱体,然后通过硼酸溶液酸洗,使NH4TiOF3介观晶体通过拓扑转变为TiO2介观晶体。最后采用沸石咪唑骨架材料ZIF-8纳米粒子对TiO2介观晶体进行修饰,制备了ZIF-8/TiO2复合介观晶体材料,并研究了其光催化降解亚甲基蓝的活性。实验结果表明,ZIF-8纳米粒子能够均匀生长在TiO2介观晶体表面,形成比较致密的包覆层。ZIF-8/TiO2复合介观晶体光催化剂具有较低的比表面积和较窄的禁带宽度,其光生电子和空穴的分离效率也得到一定程度的提高。其中,样品M-TiZIF-2(加入4 mmol硝酸锌的复合介观晶体)展现出最高的光催化活性,其一级反应速率是介观晶体TiO2的42倍,ZIF-8单元材料的16倍。总之,在ZIF-8纳米粒子和TiO2介观晶体的协同作用下,ZIF-8/TiO2复合介观晶体材料显示出更优异的光催化性能。

Abstract: The microstructure, particle size and specific surface area of TiO2 are crucial factors influencing its photocatalytic activity. Mesocrystals represent a type of superstructural material formed by inorganic nanoparticles aligned along a common crystallographic axis, holding significant research potential in photocatalysis. This study employed ammonium hexafluorotitanate and boric acid as titanium precursors and fluorine ion scavengers, respectively, using a blend of anhydrous ethanol and deionized water as the reaction medium. NH4TiOF3 mesocrystals precursors were prepared by a facile green method. Subsequently, washing with boric acid solution enabled the transformation of NH4TiOF3 mesocrystals into TiO2 mesocrysals through topotaxial conversion. Ultimately, the TiO2 mesocrystals were functionalized with ZIF-8 nanoparticles, and the photocatalytic degradation activity of the resulting ZIF-8/TiO2 composite mesocrystals was studied. Experimental finding showed that ZIF-8 nanoparticles can uniformly nucleate on the surface of TiO2 mesocrystals, resulting in a relatively dense coating layer. The ZIF-8/TiO2 composite photocatalyst exhibits a reduced specific surface area and a narrower band gap, and the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes is also improved to a certain extent. Notably, the sample M-TiZIF-2(with addition of 4 mmol Zn(NO3)2) demonstrated superior photocatalytic activity, achieving a first-order reaction rate 42-fold that of TiO2 mesocrystals and 16-fold that of pristine ZIF-8 nanoparticles. In conclusion, the synergistic effect of ZIF-8 nanoparticles and TiO2 mesocrystals significantly augments the photocatalytic performance of the ZIF-8/TiO2 composite mesocrystal materials.
