本研究主要探討pH值對二氧化鈦的光電性質,及染料光觸媒催化反應的影響。在酸性溶液的光電化學分析中,二氧化鈦光陽極的開路光電壓及閉路光電流隨pH值減小而增高,顯示在酸性溶液會產生更多的光電子。在酸性溶液的半高開路光電壓及半高閉路光電流的反應時間,比在鹼性溶液快,顯示在酸性溶液,電子的擴散速率較快。利用自行設計的裝置量測二氧化鈦薄膜於電解質溶液中的切線流動電位及過濾流動電位,結果顯示pH值、壓力及紫外光對兩者皆有影響。量測二氧化鈦薄膜切線流動電位計算所得的界達電位,與利用電泳光散射法量測二氧化鈦懸浮液所得的界達電位,兩者數值不同;但兩者所得的等電位點都接近pH 6.8。
本研究首次發現,量測二氧化鈦薄膜切線流動電位的過程中,無論在酸性或鹼性溶液,量測前後電解質溶液pH值會產生偏移現象。利用發展出的修正模式,計算在不同pH值時,二氧化鈦薄膜與電解質溶液費米能階的平衡,能夠解釋pH偏移現象。同時,在切線流動電位量測中,發現隨pH變化的遲滯現象,在不同路徑的相同pH下,會有二個不同的切線流動電位。本研究並首次發現,於酸性溶液,照射紫外光會使切線流動電位小量減小(<15mV)。於酸性及鹼性溶液,照射紫外光則會使過濾流動電位產生較大的變化(20~60mV)。而且,過濾流動電位隨過濾壓力增加而增高,並隨紫外光照射強度呈現指數減小。
本研究利用紫外光發光二極體(UV-LED)為光源,探討染料(RR22)在二氧化鈦薄膜光催化反應器的反應行為。結果顯示,光觸媒催化行為符合Langmuir-Hinshelwood動力模式;間歇照光的光量子效率比連續照光高。在低光強度時,QLC(石英-溶液-光觸媒)配置方式的光量子效率比QCL(石英-光觸媒-溶液)高;相反地,在高光強度時,兩種光觸媒配置方式的光量子效率接近相等。本研究亦探討二氧化鈦與其塗佈質子交換膜(Nafion)後之表面電性,及對陰離子性染料(RR22)與陽離子性染料(BR2)反應行為的影響。每克二氧化鈦塗佈0.5克Nafion溶液,會使其在pH 2~12間的界達電位下降至-20mV以下,並使二氧化鈦呈現疏水性,減少染料的吸附及光觸媒催化反應速率。吸附實驗及利用低壓汞燈的光觸媒催化結果顯示,二氧化鈦(純的或Nafion改質的)及染料在不同pH的表面電性對反應速率有極大的影響。二氧化鈦光催化分解RR22,在酸性溶液中較快,並於接近等電點時速率最低;而Nafion改質二氧化鈦光催化RR22,無論在酸性或鹼性中,皆無顯著反應。二氧化鈦及Nafion改質二氧化鈦光催化BR2,在鹼性溶液中較快;但是,在Nafion改質二氧化鈦的系統中的反應速率,比在純二氧化鈦中低。


The purpose of this research was to study the effects of solution pH on the photoelectrochemical properties of TiO2 photoelectrode and the photocatalytic reactions of dyestuffs in aqueous solution using photocatalyst membranes. The open circuit voltage and the short circuit photocurrent of TiO2 photoelectrode increased as solution pH decreased and indicated more photoelectrons were generated in acidic solutions. The response times reaching half maximum photovoltage and photocurrent were determined to be faster in acidic solutions than those in alkaline solutions, indicating higher electron diffusion occurred in acidic solutions. The effect of electrolyte solution pH, fluid pressure and UV irradiation on the tangential streaming potential (TSP) and filtration streaming potential (FSP) of Degussa P-25 titanium dioxide membrane were examined. Both TSP and FSP measuring systems for TiO2 membrane were developed. Experimental results depicted TSP and FSP measurements were sensitive to solution pH, temperature, fluid pressure and UV irradiation. Zeta potentials of TiO2 membranes calculated with TSP data were different from those of TiO2 suspensions measured by electrophoretic light-scattering technique, but the isoelectric point (pHiep) was measured to be almost the same value of 6.8.
The pH drifts (difference of initial and final pH) were observed during the TSP measurements of TiO2 membranes. A modified model was developed to calculate the change in Fermi energy of the electrolyte/TiO2 membranes system presented at different solution pH levels. A hysteresis phenomenon was found that two zeta potentials were observed at the same pH through different pH adjustment paths. Slight decreases of TSP (<15mV) were observed in acidic solutions under UV irradiation; however, more considerable decreases of FSP (20~60mV) were examined in both acidic and alkaline solutions. The FSP increased with increasing filtration pressures and exhibited an exponential decay with increasing light intensity.
The ultraviolet light emitting diode (UV-LED) was used as the UV light source for the photocatalytic decomposition of Reactive Red 22 (RR 22). The temporal behavior of the photocatalytic decomposition of RR 22 in aqueous solution by the UV-LED/TiO2 with a rectangular planar fixed-m reactor operated in a recirculation mode was studied under various conditions including initial dye concentration, periodic illumination, light intensity, and arrangements of TiO2 coating. The decomposition of RR 22 in aqueous solution by TiO2 photocatalytic processes with the UV-LED was found to be technically feasible with a high TiO2 coated weight (1.135g) and low pH value (pH 2). A Langmuir-Hinshelwood type kinetic equation was adequate for modeling the photocatalytic decomposition of RR 22 by the UV-LED/TiO2 photocatalytic processes. The experimental results indicated that the photonic efficiency with periodic illumination was much higher than those with continuous illumination. The photonic efficiencies with the QLC (quartz-liquid-catalyst) arrangement were higher than those with the QCL (quartz-catalyst-liquid) arrangement for experiments conducted at lower applied light intensity; however the photonic efficiencies for these two arrangements were nearly identical for experiments conducted at higher light intensities. The coating of 0.5 gram of Nafion per gram of TiO2 was enough to reduce the zeta potential of Nf/TiO2 to less than -20mV in aqueous solution and exhibited a hydrophobic surface that might decrease the adsorption and photocatalytic decomposition of dye. Experimental results on the adsorption and photocatalytic decomposition of RR22 and BR2 indicating that the charges of TiO2 surface and reactant dye markedly influence the reaction rate. The photocatalytic decompositions of RR22 using TiO2 were favored to occur in acidic conditions and exhibited a minimum decomposition rate near the isoelectric point of TiO2. Nevertheless, no obvious RR22 decompositions were found in experiments conducted using Nf/TiO2. Decompositions of BR2 using both TiO2 and Nf/TiO2 were more favorable in alkaline conditions; however, decompositions of BR2 were found to be decreased in experiments conducted using Nf/TiO2.
