Abstract:

Silver salts of Ti-substituted Keggin-type polyoxotungstate(Ag4H3PTi2W10O40, AgPTiW) with different morphologies and sizes were synthesized with potassium dititanodecatungsto-phosphate and silver nitrate as precursors, polyvinylpyrrolidone with various dosage as morphology modulator. The concentration of Ag+ in saturated solution of AgPTiW was measured by spectrophometric method, and its solubility product was then obtained. Furthermore, the standard electrode potential of Ag4H3PTi2W10O40/Ag was calculated by Nernst equation, and thus the conduction band of AgPTiW was located. Crystal structures and optical absorption properties of AgPTiW with different morphologies were characterized by infrared spectra(FTIR), powder XRD analysis and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra. Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange tests were carried out over AgPTiW with different morphologies under visible-light irradiation(λ>400 nm). The results showed that the visible-light catalytic activity of AgPTiW with nanowire shape was better than that with rod or columnar morphology. It might be related to the highest aspect ratio and the highest specific surface area of nanowire catalyst.
