Characterizations with XRD, TEM, NMR and FTIR showed that in addition to anatase type TiO2, a new active phase(Ti,Sn)O2 was also formed in the range of the studied doping concentration, The catalytic activity was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of phenol as model reaction. SiO2 remained amphorous at all samples. It could prevent from growth of the size of nanopaticle and transformation from anatase to rutile. Compared with pure TiO2, or TiO2-SnO2 catalyst prepared by Sol-gel method, Nano-composite photo-catalyst showed significant improvement in catalytic activity, the photo-catalytic degradation rate of phenol in 7 h reached 88.7%. Application of the composite catalysts for the photocatalytic decomposition of phenol not only gave the same activity relative to pure ultrafine TiO2, but also reduced cost. The experimental results also proved that the thermal stability of TiO2 was greatly enhanced after mixing with small amount of SiO2. The optimized doping of SiO2 was 20.3%. The photo-catalyst prepared by SCFD combination technology was characterized with smaller particle size, larger surface area and higher activity.展开更多

The effect of adding SiO 2 on the crystal structure, specific surface area, oxygen adsorption, and acidity of SO 2- 4/TiO 2 catalyst and its photocatalytic property for degradation of bromomethane was studied. The results showed that the specific surface area and amount of oxygen adsorption of catalyst were increased by addition of SiO 2, leading to the obvious increase on photocatalytic activity of SO 2- 4/TiO 2 SiO 2 catalysts and mineralization ratio of bromomethane. Comparing with SO 2- 4/TiO 2, the acidic strength and anti moisture ability of SO 2- 4/TiO 2 SiO 2 catalyst were decreased.展开更多

Water completely spread on TiO 2 surface within 3 s and its dynamic contact angles can be expressed by a power law θ d= k(t+a) -n with the n value 0.98. Less than 50%(molar fraction) SiO 2 addition can accelerate the dynamic water spreading rate on the TiO 2 SiO 2 films and the optimum molar fraction of SiO 2 amount corresponding to as annealed, air plasma, and UV irradiation treatment process is 15%, 10% and 20%, respectively.展开更多
