Abstract:
TiO2/SiO2 were prepared by the chemical modification reaction on SiO2, then the supported coupled semiconductors (MoO3, ZnO)-TiO2/SiO2 were prepared by isovolumetric impregnating TiO2/SiO2. The surface structures, chemical adsorption capabilities, photon absorption properties and photocatalytic behaviors of MoO3-TiO2/SiO2 and ZnO-TiO2/SiO2 were systematically investigated by the techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET, temperature programmed reduction (TPR), UV-Vis DRS, IR and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). The surface species of MoO3-TiO2/SiO2 and ZnO-TiO2/SiO2, comprising Mo-O-Ti bonds and Zn-O-Ti bonds respectively, have the quantum size effects due to the supports interaction. The supported coupled semiconductors MoO3-TiO2/SiO2 exhibit higher photocatalytic activity than ZnO-TiO2/SiO2, because chemisorption property of CH4 and utilization of the photo energy enhance effectively when MoO3 is incorporated on TiO2/SiO2. CH3OH and H2 are produced by the gas-phase photocatalytic reaction of CH4 and H2O over MoO3-TiO2/SiO2 catalyst at 150°C in a fixed-bed annular photoreactor, and the CH3OH selectivity is 87.3%.
