Abstract:

Using polystyrene(PS) latex sphere and triblock copolymer surfactant EO20PO70EO20(P123) as templates, three-dimensionally ordered macroporous(3DOM) composite Ag/TiO2 was prepared by the sol-gel method and calcination. The phase compositions, structures and morphologies of 3DOM Ag/TiO2 were well-characterized by Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectra, X-ray diffraction(XRD), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra(UV-Vis/DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectra(XPS), N2 adsorption-desorption tests and scanning electron microscopy assisted X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy(SEM-EDS). The results show that the pore structure of Ag/TiO2 composite is distributed neat and orderly, whose wall is mesoporous, moreover, the composite belongs to three-dimensional ordered macroporous material. The 3DOM Ag/TiO2 has anatase crystalline structure, in which Ag is metallic Ag0. Compared with Degussa P25, the absorption band of 3DOM Ag/TiO2 is red-shifted ca. 30 nm to the visible region. For photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants with different modes, including UV, visible light and mircomave-assisted irradiation, 3DOM Ag/TiO2 shows better activities than Degussa P25 and Ag/TiO2. In addition, 3DOM Ag/TiO2 exhibits superior photocatalytic activity in the degradation process of different type organic pollutans.
