How Do Ionic Liquids Affect the Surface Structure of Titania Photocatalyst? An Electron-Trap Distribution-Analysis Study
Abstract
Titanium(IV) oxide, titania, photocatalyst particles were prepared from titanium alkoxide in the presence of several kinds of ionic liquids, and it was clarified that a group of samples exhibited photocatalytic activity for phenol degradation under the irradiation of light of wavelength >400 nm higher than those of the other group of samples. Although the conventional structural analytical results could not be related to the activity, electron-trap distribution measured by reversed double-beam photoacoustic spectroscopy suggested that a part of the ionic liquid induced the creation of a surface amorphous layer covered with hydrophobic organic residues to enhance the adsorption of phenol on the surface.
