TiO2-C nanocomposite synthesized via facile surfactant-assisted method as a part of less energy-consuming LED-based photocatalytic system for environmental applications
Abstract
A novel facile method was used to incorporate carbon into the titania structure. An alternative synthesis method of carbon-doped TiO2 has been proposed by using a widely used and cheap surfactant. During the process, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide plays a dual role, as a morphology modifier and as a carbon source. The presented approach allows obtained TiO2-C nanostructures to be anatase nanocrystals with carbon being deposited either on the surface or between the TiO2 nanoparticles. The innovative nature of the research subject is related to the design of cheap LED solutions and facile synthesis of TiO2-C for use in novel energy-saving photocatalytic systems. Photocatalytic studies showed promising activity in the oxidation of 4-chlorophenol. Furthermore, it was indicated that LED-based photocatalytic systems allow a significant reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional photocatalytic sets. In addition, the high thermal efficiency of LED systems was confirmed with a thermal imaging camera. Hence, the presented novel LED photocatalytic systems can be an important part of a broad strategy for the protection of the environment.
