Photocatalytic Properties of Nitrogen-Sulfur Co-Doped TiO2 Films Coated on Glass Fiber
Abstract:
The photocatalytic N-S co-doped TiO2 films coated on glass fibers were successfully prepared by sol-gel, dip-coating and calcination methods. The effect of doping concentration on crystalline size, microstructure, morphology, optical property and photocatalytic activity was investigated. The films were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, UV-vis DRS and FT-IR. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB). N-S co-doping has an effect on light adsorption wavelength shifted to visible light region which can lower the band gap energy of N-S co-doped due to the replacement of O atom in TiO2 by N and S atoms to form Ti-O-N and Ti-O-S structures. Thiourea, a source of nitrogen and sulfur could increase viscosity of sol used for coating on glass fibers, resulting in larger particles size and more surface roughness of the doped films.TiO2 films with 5 mol% N-S co-doped showed an excellent photocatalytic performance under fluorescent light irradiation.
