英文摘要 | There is growing interest in applying photocatalysis to help solve both the energy crisis and effectively combat environmental contamination. However, it is difficult to investigate photocatalytic reactions at the liquid/solid interface to unravel the reaction mechanism by conventional (ex situ) surface analytical techniques. In this study, Attenuated Total Reflectance-FTIR spectroscopy, adapted for optical pumping, was used to observe in situ the surface of TiO(2) (Degussa P25, in both pristine and platinized forms) during photocatalytic oxidation of ethanol aqueous solution. It shows the feasibility to investigate not only the reaction pathway and the rate-determining step, but also the change in state of the catalyst under working conditions. During ethanol photo-oxidation over pristine TiO(2), band gap excitation caused the progressive accumulation of trapped electrons, as recognized by their characteristic quasi-continuum absorption, implying that photoreduction does not proceed at a significant rate under these conditions. Consistent with this view, only weak infrared features due to adsorbed intermediates were observed. Over platinized TiO(2)., the noble metal nanodeposits promote photodehydrogenation and photoactivation of dioxygen. In addition to observing strong bands diagnostic of various intermediates, the presence or absence of a band around 2050 cm(-1), typical. of Pt-CO(ad), served as a valuable spectroscopic marker of the instantaneous availability of the chemical oxidant. As such, mechanistic parallels were found between photoreforming (with H(2) generation) and photo-oxidation (to acetate), with acetaldehyde being a common intermediate in both processes. The rate-determining step in ethanol mineralization was found to be photodecomposition of adsorbed acetate.; Environment and Water Industry Program Office (EWI) under the National Research Foundation of Singapore[MEWR 651/06/160] |
