Manganese Oxide-Surface Modified Titanium(IV) Dioxide as Environmental Catalyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study is to present an “environmental catalyst” possessing both thermocatalytic activity and visible-light activity for the decomposition of organic pollutants. Molecule-sized MnOx clusters are highly dispersed on the surface of TiO2 (anatase/rutile = 4/1 w/w, P-25, Degussa) by the chemisorption-calcination cycle technique using Mn(acac)3 complex as a precursor (MnOx/TiO2). The thermoand photo-catalytic activities of MnOx/TiO2 were studied for the degradation of 2-naphthol used as a model water pollutant. In contrast to the FeOx/TiO2 system, MnOx/TiO2 exhibits high thermocatalytic activity exceeding those of bulk ββ-MnO2 and Mn2O3. Also, visible-light activity is induced by the surface modification of TiO2 with MnOx clusters, whereas its UV-light activity decreases.

The electronic modification of TiO(2) with highly dispersed NiO particles smaller than ca. 2 nm by the chemisorption-calcination-cycle technique has given rise to a high level of visible-light-activity exceeding that of iron oxide-surface modified TiO(2) simultaneously with the UV-light-activity being significantly increased.
