Nanoscaled TiO2/Ag Catalysts and Their Photodecomposition Characteristics [PDF]

Shih-Chin Lin and Cheng-Hsiung Peng

(Received July 17, 2008; Accepted November 17, 2008)

Keywords: photocatalytic, photodecomposition, dendrite, methylene blue

The concentration of AgNO3 plays a significant role in the formation and growth of silver nanoparticles in the preparation of catalysts. When the concentration of AgNO3 was decreased to 0.2 wt%, flakelike Ag was observed. The corresponding zeta potentials of the TiO2 solution at pHs of 11, 6.2, and 3 suggest that the electric repulsion between the TiO2 nanoparticles was very strong in both alkaline and acidic solutions, causing their “effective dispersion.” Therefore, a highly dispersed nanostructured TiO2/Ag catalyst can be synthesized at a pH of 11 in alkaline solution. Nearly all the dimethy-blue target pollutant present at high concentrations was removed when the photoreaction was performed over a short period of time. This novel nano-TiO2 photocatalyst exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity because it is well-dispersed. In addition, no dispersant or organic binder was used for this synthetic process.
