“…The photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 NPs was enhanced by the spherical morphology and small crystallite size. The TiO 2 hollow nanofiber showed higher photocatalytic efficiency at 0.75 g/L and moderate at 1.0 g/L, as reported by Jafri et al [45]. In this degradation process, the nanoparticle had higher active sites at the optimum weight of the catalyst, and there was a gradual decrease in active sites of the nanoparticle as the weight of the catalyst exceeded the optimum weight.…”

Metal oxide titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were synthesized by using a simple and economical sol-gel method. The prepared nanoparticles were used to evaluate methylene blue dye degradation and as catalysts in the oxidation of benzaldehyde. The crystallite size of the titanium dioxide nanoparticle was 18.3 nm, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The spherical morphology was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the elemental composition of the nanoparticle was found by energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) analysis. The anatase form of the nanoparticle was confirmed by the bandgap 3.2 eV, which was measured using UV–DRS analysis. The bond between metal and oxygen was confirmed by the peaks at 485 and 606 cm–1 analyzed by Fourier transform infrared analysis (FTIR). The efficiency of the catalyst in dye degradation was 60.08, 68.38, and 80.89% with respect to 50, 75, and 100 mg catalyst weight. The yield % of benzoic acid was 94%, and the reduction efficiency against 4-nitrophenol was 98.44%.

“…After calcination, there was a red shift of the absorption edge towards visible light. The increased absorption was most likely due to the presence of rutile phase, which has an intrinsically smaller band gap energy compared with the pure anatase phase [ 62 , 63 ]. Moreover, the intensity of these bands decreased with increasing concentration of modifier due to the delay of the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation.…”

Artificial Solar Light-Driven APTES/TiO2 Photocatalysts for Methylene Blue Removal from Water

et al. 2022

A visible-light photocatalytic performance of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)-modified TiO2 nanomaterials obtained by solvothermal modification under elevated pressure, followed by calcination in an argon atmosphere at 800–1000 °C, is presented for the first time. The presence of silicon and carbon in the APTES/TiO2 photocatalysts contributed to the effective delay of the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation and the growth of the crystallites size of both polymorphous forms of TiO2 during heating. Thus, the calcined APTES-modified TiO2 exhibited higher pore volume and specific surface area compared with the reference materials. The change of TiO2 surface charge from positive to negative after the heat treatment increased the adsorption of the methylene blue compound. Consequently, due to the blocking of active sites on the TiO2 surface, the adsorption process negatively affected the photocatalytic properties. All calcined photocatalysts obtained after modification via APTES showed a higher dye decomposition degree than the reference samples. For all 3 modifier concentrations tested, the best photoactivity was noted for nanomaterials calcined at 900 °C due to a higher specific surface area than materials calcined at 1000 °C, and a larger number of active sites available on the TiO2 surface compared with samples annealed at 800 °C. It was found that the optimum concentration for TiO2 modification, at which the highest dye decomposition degree was noted, was 500 mM.

Nanofiber is a kind of high‐performance material, which has great applications. Among many preparation methods, centrifugal electrospinning combines the advantages of electrospinning and centrifugal spinning, with high yield and a wide range of application. But its influencing factors are numerous, the process is still immature, and unable to meet the needs of industrialization. Here, we design a set of centrifugal electrospinning equipment and its process, and explore the influence of rotor form on fiber formation. First, the structure and working principle of experimental equipment of centrifugal electrospinning are introduced. Then, the influence of two factors, the rotor shape and rotor material, on space electric field is studied through theoretical and simulation analysis. Finally, based on the designed equipment, the effects of different rotor forms on the fibers preparation of centrifugal electrospinning are studied. The results show that the fiber diameter of centrifugal electrospinning is greatly affected by the form of the rotor. By changing the surface shape of the rotor and the rotor material, the diameter of the fiber can be controlled. Experiments show that the average fiber diameter of the γ‐shaped rotor is the smallest, and the fiber spun with ULTEM PEI 1010 material has the best overall performance.
