Effect of surface hydration on the photocatalytic activity of oxide catalysts in the CO oxidation
Russian Chemical Bulletin(2018)
摘要
The effect of the state of hydrated surface of the bulk oxide photocatalysts, TiO 2 , CeO 2 , and ZnO on the rate of UV-induced oxidation of CO with atmospheric oxygen was studied. The activity of dehydroxylated catalyst samples evacuated at temperatures of >350 °C toward CO photooxidation decreases in the series CeO 2 > ZnO ≈ TiO 2 , while that of partially hydrated samples after pretreatment at 20 °C changes in the order TiO 2 > ZnO ≥ CeO 2 ≈ 0. According to the results, the difference in the photocatalytic activity toward CO oxidation on the dehydrated ZnO, TiO 2 , and CeO 2 catalysts is attributable to different concentrations of oxygen vacancies, which are formed more readily after high-temperature treatment on ZnO and CeO 2 and thus promote higher rate of CO photooxidation. Using a new technique for recording transmittance IR spectra, it was found that photoirradiation in the presence of adsorbed water and O 2 gives peroxides and hydroperoxides, with their concentrations decreasing in the series TiO 2 >> ZnO >> CeO 2 . Most likely, these species are active intermediates of CO photooxidation with oxygen in the presence of adsorbed water. The hydrophobization effect was detected upon TiO 2 modification with zinc, resulting in removal of surface acid sites capable of adsorbing water. The TiO 2 modification with zinc increases the activity of CO photooxidation with respect to the oxidation catalyzed by samples pretreated at low temperatures (20—60 °C).
