Abstract:

Composite TiO2 nanotubes of Pt-modified(Pt-TNT) were synthesized via alkaline fusion-hydrothermal method under ambient atmosphere pressure. The microstructure morphology and properties of Pt-TNT were characterized. Composition analysis showed that the particulate matters on surface of Pt-TNT were composed of platinum and platinum oxides(Pt, PtO and PtO2, PtOxδ+). Contact potential barriers consisting of PtOxδ+-anatase-rutile-PtOxδ+ are presumed to form upon PtOxδ+ particle that deposited on the surface of Pt-TNT. The result of XRD indicated that a mixture of anatase and rutile phases prevailed in Pt-TNT. The 1047 and 1641 cm-1(OH bending vibration) of FTIR were caused by the adsorption of δ-H2O on the surface of Pt-TNT. Surface photovoltage spectroscopy(SPS) and electric field-induced surface photovoltage spectroscopy(FISPS) demonstrated that the bound exciton which showed sub-band gap transition characteristics with the asymmetric changes of photoelectric property corresponding to changes in polarity and strength of the external electric field. Compared with TiO2, BET of Pt-TNT increased more than 3.55 times and was 41 m2/g by nitrogen adsorption.
