Heterophase Polymorph of TiO 2 (Anatase, Rutile, Brookite, TiO 2 (B)) for Efficient Photocatalyst: Fabrication and Activity. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:704. [PMID: 36839072 PMCID: PMC9965282 DOI: 10.3390/nano13040704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
TiO2 exists naturally in three crystalline forms: Anatase, rutile, brookite, and TiO2 (B). These polymorphs exhibit different properties and consequently different photocatalytic performances. This paper aims to clarify the differences between titanium dioxide polymorphs, and the differences in homophase, biphase, and triphase properties in various photocatalytic applications. However, homophase TiO2 has various disadvantages such as high recombination rates and low adsorption capacity. Meanwhile, TiO2 heterophase can effectively stimulate electron transfer from one phase to another causing superior photocatalytic performance. Various studies have reported the biphase of polymorph TiO2 such as anatase/rutile, anatase/brookite, rutile/brookite, and anatase/TiO2 (B). In addition, this paper also presents the triphase of the TiO2 polymorph. This review is mainly focused on information regarding the heterophase of the TiO2 polymorph, fabrication of heterophase synthesis, and its application as a photocatalyst.

Abstract
Environmental remediation via semiconductor (SC) photocatalysis has attracted great attention over the past three decades. However, prospect for large scale application is still under debate, basically due to the bottleneck of fast charge recombination and/or slow surface reaction. Herein we report a universal solution of speeding up organic degradation simply via co-deposited Pt and nickel phosphate (NiP). Several representative SCs have been examined, including TiO2 (anatase, rutile, and brookite) under a 320 nm light, and Bi-based SC (BiVO4, Bi2WO6, and Bi2MoO6) under a 420 nm light. In all cases, the rates of phenol degradation in aqueous solution always varied not only in the order of NiP/Pt/SC > Pt/SC > NiP/SC > SC, but also NiP/Pt/SC > (Pt/SC + NiP/SC + SC). Meanwhile, hydroquinone and benzoquinone were produced as the main intermediates, but their concentration was much lower than that of phenol decreased, especially for NiP-containing sample. The solid was characterized with several techniques, including photoluminescence and (photo)electrochemical measurement. It is proposed that Pt and NiP act as co-catalysts for O2 reduction and phenol oxidation, respectively. Such electron and hole transfer promote each other, additionally improving the efficiency of charge separation, and further increasing the rates of surface reactions. This work highlights the necessity of a versatile co-catalyst in SC photocatalysis.

Abstract
Semiconducting TiO2 is the most studied photocatalyst for organic oxidation by O2. To accelerate the reaction, a cocatalyst for O2 reduction or for organic oxidation is often used, but the bifunctional one is rare. Herein we report a spinel CoFe2O4 (CF) efficiently catalyzing O2 reduction and phenol oxidation on TiO2 in aqueous suspensions at pH 3-11. The composite materials (CF/TiO2) were made by depositing 0-5 wt % CF onto TiO2 through a hydrothermal method. Solid characterization showed that CF nanoparticles (5 nm) homogeneously distributed in CF/TiO2, whereas the TiO2 phase remained unchanged in crystal structure and crystallite size. For phenol oxidation under UV light, CF was nearly not active, but 0.01 wt % CF/TiO2 was more active than TiO2, by approximately a factor of 3.6. Such trend in activity among the catalysts was also observed from the photocatalytic reduction of O2 to H2O2, from the electrochemical reduction of O2, and from the photoelectrochemical oxidation of phenol and H2O. An open-circuit potential and photoluminescence measurement suggest that there is an interfacial electron transfer from TiO2 to CF, followed by O2 reduction. Accordingly, a possible mechanism is proposed, involving CF catalysis for O2 reduction and phenol oxidation. Then the mutual promotion between electron and hole transfer results in great enhancement in the efficiency of charge separation and hence in the rate of chemical reaction. Because spinel compounds have rich composition and unique structures, they are worthy of being further investigated as cocatalysts of a semiconductor photocatalysis.
