Photocatalytic removal of VOCs on TiO2 nanotube layers. Effect of layer thickness and humidity

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The current work is focused on the influence of TiO2 nanotube (TNT) layer thickness, texture properties and chemical nature of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the efficiency of their photocatalytic oxidative removal. Attention was also given to the evaluation of the degree of mineralisation and the influence of air humidity. The fabricated TNT layers have a thickness from 2 to 13 μm, TiO2 mass from 0.27 to 1.15 mg cm−2, tube diameter of 108 ± 17 nm and porosity of 74 ± 5 %. Values of areal SBET determined from Kr adsorption are higher than the inner surface area of the TNT layer calculated from morphology parameters, this suggests the rough nature of the inner surface of nanotubes. Acetaldehyde was more easily degraded in comparison to hexane which was explained by a simpler chemical structure. The degree of acetaldehyde mineralisation was almost 100 %, suggesting the formation of no intermediates, analysis confirmed negligible formation of formaldehyde. In contrast, degree of hexane mineralisation was lower, 80 %. An increase in humidity has a negative effect on the photocatalytic performance; this effect is more significant for non-polar hexane compared to water-miscible acetaldehyde. The conversion of hexane and absorptance of the TNT layer at 365 nm increase similarly with increasing thickness. Hexane conversion increases significantly up to a layer thickness of about 4 μm where more than 80 % of incident light is absorbed. The simultaneous degradation of four pollutants (acetaldehyde, acetone, heptane and toluene) results in the highest degradation rate of acetaldehyde and the lowest for heptane, this was attributed to their different solubility in water as well as to their different adsorption. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
