Metal–organic framework-templated synthesis of Ag/Ni-TiO2 for enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction

Metal–organic framework-templated synthesis of Ag/Ni-TiO2 for enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction Abstract.Nanosized semiconductors with hierarchical structures are attractive for use as catalysts. Development of high porous structures, to this end, has received intense interest. By using a well-defined titanium-based metal–organic framework, i.e., MIL-125(Ti), as a template, we report the synthesis of Ni-doped mesoporous TiO2 nanocrystals with tablet morphologies. While the obtained Ni-TiO2 composites could be used for photoreduction of CO2 in the presence of water vapor, this photocatalytic property could be largely improved by further deposition of Ag nanoparticles. In principle, Ni species in the lattice matrix lead to the formation of impurity levels in the bandgap of TiO2, promoting both light absorption and charge separation. On the other hand, Ag, as a cocatalyst, can trap electrons and simultaneously activate the C═O bonds from the adsorbed CO2. Our results demonstrate that 1.0% Ag/0.5% Ni-TiO2 photocatalyst exhibits the highest activity. The yields of CO and CH4 reach 14.31 and 279.07  μmol  /  g, respectively, for a 3-h reaction. We believe the strategy based upon the synergy of Ni doping and Ag loading can be extended to other photocatalytic systems. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Photonics for Energy SPIE

Abstract

Abstract.Nanosized semiconductors with hierarchical structures are attractive for use as catalysts. Development of high porous structures, to this end, has received intense interest. By using a well-defined titanium-based metal–organic framework, i.e., MIL-125(Ti), as a template, we report the synthesis of Ni-doped mesoporous TiO2 nanocrystals with tablet morphologies. While the obtained Ni-TiO2 composites could be used for photoreduction of CO2 in the presence of water vapor, this photocatalytic property could be largely improved by further deposition of Ag nanoparticles. In principle, Ni species in the lattice matrix lead to the formation of impurity levels in the bandgap of TiO2, promoting both light absorption and charge separation. On the other hand, Ag, as a cocatalyst, can trap electrons and simultaneously activate the C═O bonds from the adsorbed CO2. Our results demonstrate that 1.0% Ag/0.5% Ni-TiO2 photocatalyst exhibits the highest activity. The yields of CO and CH4 reach 14.31 and 279.07  μmol  /  g, respectively, for a 3-h reaction. We believe the strategy based upon the synergy of Ni doping and Ag loading can be extended to other photocatalytic systems.
