Abstract:

Sr\|doped nanostructured crystalline TiO₂ microspheres were fabricated by modifying the bare microspheres with the method of soaking in strontium nitrate solution and heat treatment.  The morphology, crystal structure and photoabsorption ability were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and UV-Vis spectrophotometer.  The observation of SEM showed that both the bare and Sr\|doped microspheres presented the same honeycomb porous morphology.  The XRD spectra affirmed that the incorporation of Sr was in the form of strontium titanate(SrTiO₃) as eutectic structure with anatase TiO₂.  The photocatalytic efficiency of Sr\|doped TiO₂ microspheres was assessed by monitoring the photodecomposition of KN-R dye.  The results reveal that Sr-doped microspheres provided a higher efficiency than the unmodified, which was consistent with the analysis results of UV-Vis absorption spectra.  Obvious phenomenon of red-shift on UV-Vis spectrum was seen in comparison with the bare microspheres.  Both the phenomena of red-shift and the photocatalytic activity improvement were attributed to the synergistic action between SrTiO3 and anatase TiO₂.
