Photocatalysis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the experiment above, photons from a light source (out of frame on the right hand side) are absorbed by the surface of the titanium dioxide (TiO
2) disc, exciting electrons within the material. These then react with the water molecules, splitting it into its constituents of hydrogen and oxygen. In this experiment, chemicals dissolved in the water prevent the formation of oxygen, which would otherwise recombine with the hydrogen.

Photocatalysis is a photoinduced reaction that accelerates in the presence of a catalyst. By absorbing the photon having energy greater than the bandgap (Eg) of the catalyst, these types of reactions become activated[1]. With the absorption of photons, the separation of the charge carrier occurs, and the electrons move from the valence band to the conduction band of the catalyst, thus generating the holes in the valence band. The charge recombination rate should be minimum to accelerate the photocatalytic activity. In these reactions, electrons and holes react with the water and oxygen to produce peroxide and superoxide radicals that play roles in photocatalytic degradation[2].

History

[edit]

Early mentions (1911–1938)

[edit]

The earliest mention came in 1911, when German chemist Dr. Alexander Eibner integrated the concept in his research of the illumination of zinc oxide (ZnO) on the bleaching of the dark blue pigment, Prussian blue.[3][4] Around this time, Bruner and Kozak published an article discussing the deterioration of oxalic acid in the presence of uranyl salts under illumination,[4][5] while in 1913, Landau published an article explaining the phenomenon of photocatalysis. Their contributions led to the development of actinometric measurements, measurements that provide the basis of determining photon flux in photochemical reactions.[4][6] After a hiatus, in 1921, Baly et al. used ferric hydroxides and colloidal uranium salts as catalysts for the creation of formaldehyde under visible light.[4][7]

In 1938 Doodeve and Kitchener discovered that TiO
2 , a highly-stable and non-toxic oxide, in the presence of oxygen could act as a photosensitizer for bleaching dyes, as ultraviolet light absorbed by TiO
2 led to the production of active oxygen species on its surface, resulting in the blotching of organic chemicals via photooxidation. This was the first observation of the fundamental characteristics of heterogeneous photocatalysis.[4][8]

1964–2024

[edit]

Research in photocatalysis again paused until 1964, when V.N. Filimonov investigated isopropanol photooxidation from ZnO and TiO
2 ;[4][9] while in 1965 Kato and Mashio, Doerffler and Hauffe, and Ikekawa et al. (1965) explored oxidation/photooxidation of CO
2 and organic solvents from ZnO radiance.[4][10][11][12] In 1970, Formenti et al. and Tanaka and Blyholde observed the oxidation of various alkenes and the photocatalytic decay of N2O, respectively.[4][13][14]

A breakthrough occurred in 1972, when Akira Fujishima and Kenichi Honda discovered that electrochemical photolysis of water occurred when a TiO
2 electrode irradiated with ultraviolet light was electrically connected to a platinum electrode. As the ultraviolet light was absorbed by the TiO
2 electrode, electrons flowed from the anode to the platinum cathode where hydrogen gas was produced. This was one of the first instances of hydrogen production from a clean and cost-effective source, as the majority of hydrogen production comes from natural gas reforming and gasification.[4][15] Fujishima's and Honda's findings led to other advances. In 1977, Nozik discovered that the incorporation of a noble metal in the electrochemical photolysis process, such as platinum and gold, among others, could increase photoactivity, and that an external potential was not required.[4][16] Wagner and Somorjai (1980) and Sakata and Kawai (1981) delineated hydrogen production on the surface of strontium titanate (SrTiO3) via photogeneration, and the generation of hydrogen and methane from the illumination of TiO
2 and PtO2 in ethanol, respectively.[4][17][18]

For many decades photocatalysis had not been developed for commercial purposes. However, in 2023 multiple patents were granted to a U.S. company, (Pure-Light Technologies, Inc.) that has developed various formulas and processes that allow for widespread commercialization for VOC reduction and germicidal action. [19] Chu et al. (2017) assessed the future of electrochemical photolysis of water, discussing its major challenge of developing a cost-effective, energy-efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) tandem cell, which would, “mimic natural photosynthesis".[4][20]

Types of photocatalysis

[edit]

Heterogeneous photocatalysis

[edit]

In heterogeneous catalysis the catalyst is in a different phase from the reactants. Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a discipline which includes a large variety of reactions: mild or total oxidations, dehydrogenation, hydrogen transfer, 18O2–16O2 and deuterium-alkane isotopic exchange, metal deposition, water detoxification, and gaseous pollutant removal.

Most heterogeneous photocatalysts are transition metal oxides and semiconductors. Unlike metals, which have a continuum of electronic states, semiconductors possess a void energy region where no energy levels are available to promote recombination of an electron and hole produced by photoactivation in the solid. The difference in energy between the filled valence band and the empty conduction band in the MO diagram of a semiconductor is the band gap.[21] When the semiconductor absorbs a photon with energy equal to or greater than the material's band gap, an electron excites from the valence band to the conduction band, generating a electron hole in the valence band. This electron-hole pair is an exciton.[21] The excited electron and hole can recombine and release the energy gained from the excitation of the electron as heat. Such exciton recombination is undesirable and higher levels cost efficiency.[22] Efforts to develop functional photocatalysts often emphasize extending exciton lifetime, improving electron-hole separation using diverse approaches that may rely on structural features such as phase hetero-junctions (e.g. anatase-rutile interfaces), noble-metal nanoparticles, silicon nanowires and substitutional cation doping.[23] The ultimate goal of photocatalyst design is to facilitate reactions of the excited electrons with oxidants to produce reduced products, and/or reactions of the generated holes with reductants to produce oxidized products. Due to the generation of positive holes (h+) and excited electrons (e-), oxidation-reduction reactions take place at the surface of semiconductors irradiated with light.

In one mechanism of the oxidative reaction, holes react with the moisture present on the surface and produce a hydroxyl radical. The reaction starts by photo-induced exciton generation in the metal oxide (MO) surface by photon (hv) absorption:

MO + hν → MO (h+ + e−)

Oxidative reactions due to photocatalytic effect:

h+ + H2O → H+ + •OH
2 h+ + 2 H2O → 2 H+ + H2O2
H2O2→ 2 •OH

Reductive reactions due to photocatalytic effect:

e− + O2 → •O2−
•O2− + HO2• + H+ → H2O2 + O2
H2O2 → 2 •OH

Ultimately, both reactions generate hydroxyl radicals. These radicals are oxidative in nature and nonselective with a redox potential of E0 = +3.06 V.[24] This is significantly greater than many common organic compounds, which typically are not greater than E0 = +2.00 V.[25] This results in the non-selective oxidative behavior of these radicals.

TiO
2, a wide band-gap semiconductor, is a common choice for heterogeneous catalysis. Inertness to chemical environment and long-term photostability has made TiO
2 an important material in many practical applications. Investigation of TiO2 in the rutile (bandgap 3.0 eV) and anatase (bandgap 3.2 eV) phases is common.[22] The absorption of photons with energy equal to or greater than the band gap of the semiconductor initiates photocatalytic reactions. This produces electron-hole (e− /h+) pairs:[22]

Where the electron is in the conduction band and the hole is in the valence band. The irradiated TiO
2 particle can behave as an electron donor or acceptor for molecules in contact with the semiconductor. It can participate in redox reactions with adsorbed species, as the valence band hole is strongly oxidizing while the conduction band electron is strongly reducing.[22]

Homogeneous photocatalysis

[edit]

In homogeneous photocatalysis, the reactants and the photocatalysts exist in the same phase. The process by which the atmosphere self-cleans and removes large organic compounds is a gas phase homogenous photocatalysis reaction.[26] The ozone process is often referenced when developing many photocatalysts:

Most homogeneous photocatalytic reactions are aqueous phase, with a transition-metal complex photocatalyst. The wide use of transition-metal complexes as photocatalysts is in large part due to the large band gap and high stability of the species.[27] Homogeneous photocatalysts are common in the production of clean hydrogen fuel production, with the notable use of cobalt and iron complexes.[27]

Iron complex hydroxy-radical formation using the ozone process is common in the production of hydrogen fuel (similar to Fenton's reagent process done in low pH conditions without photoexcitation):[27]

Complex-based photocatalysts are semiconductors, and operate under the same electronic properties as heterogeneous catalysts.[28]

Plasmonic antenna-reactor photocatalysis

[edit]

A plasmonic antenna-reactor photocatalyst is a photocatalyst that combines a catalyst with attached antenna that increases the catalyst's ability to absorb light, thereby increasing its efficiency.

A SiO
2 catalyst combined with an Au light absorber accelerated hydrogen sulfide-to-hydrogen reactions. The process is an alternative to the conventional Claus process that operates at 800–1,000 °C (1,470–1,830 °F).[29]

A Fe catalyst combined with a Cu light absorber can produce hydrogen from ammonia (NH
3) at ambient temperature using visible light. Conventional Cu-Ru production operates at 650–1,000 °C (1,202–1,832 °F).[30]

Applications

[edit]

Photoactive catalysts have been introduced over the last decade, such as TiO
2 and ZnO nano rodes. Most suffer from the fact that they can only perform under UV irradiation due to their band structure. Other photocatalysts, including a graphene-ZnO nanocompound counter this problem.[32]

Paper

[edit]

Micro-sized ZnO tetrapodal particles added to pilot paper production.[31] The most common are one-dimensional nanostructures, such as nanorods, nanotubes, nanofibers, nanowires, but also nanoplates, nanosheets, nanospheres, tetrapods. ZnO is strongly oxidative, chemically stable, with enhanced photocatalytic activity, and has a large free-exciton binding energy. It is non-toxic, abundant, biocompatible, biodegradable, environmentally friendly, low cost, and compatible with simple chemical synthesis. ZnO faces limits to its widespread use in photocatalysis under solar radiation. Several approaches have been suggested to overcome this limitation, including doping for reducing the band gap and improving charge carrier separation.[33]

Water splitting

[edit]
Main article: Photocatalytic water splitting

Photocatalytic water splitting separates water into hydrogen and oxygen:[34]

2 H2O → 2 H2 + O2

The most prevalently investigated material, TiO
2 , is inefficient. Mixtures of TiO
2 and nickel oxide (NiO) are more active. NiO allows a significant explоitation of the visible spectrum.[35] One efficient photocatalyst in the UV range is based on sodium tantalite (NaTaO3) doped with lanthanum and loaded with a nickel oxide cocatalyst. The surface is grooved with nanosteps from doping with lanthanum (3–15 nm range, see nanotechnology). The NiO particles are present on the edges, with the oxygen evolving from the grooves.

Self-cleaning glass

[edit]

Titanium dioxide takes part in self-cleaning glass. Free radicals[36][37] generated from TiO
2 oxidize organic matter.[38][39] The rough wedge-like TiO
2 surface can be modified with a hydrophobic monolayer of octadecylphosphonic acid (ODP). TiO
2 surfaces that were plasma etched for 10 seconds and subsequent surface modifications with ODP showed a water contact angle greater than 150◦. The surface was converted into a superhydrophilic surface (water contact angle = 0◦) upon UV illumination, due to rapid decomposition of octadecylphosphonic acid coating resulting from TiO
2 photocatalysis. Due to TiO
2 's wide band gap, light absorption by the semiconductor material and resulting superhydrophilic conversion of undoped TiO
2 requires ultraviolet radiation (wavelength <390 nm) and thereby restricts self-cleaning to outdoor applications.[40]

Disinfection and cleaning

[edit]
  • Water disinfection/decontamination,[41] a form of solar water disinfection (SODIS).[42][43] Adsorbents attract organics such as tetrachloroethylene. Adsorbents are placed in packed beds for 18 hours. Spent adsorbents are placed in regeneration fluid, essentially removing organics still attached by passing hot water opposite to the flow of water during adsorption. The regeneration fluid passes through fixed beds of silica gel photocatalysts to remove and decompose remaining organics.
  • TiO
    2     self-sterilizing coatings (for application to food contact surfaces and in other environments where microbial pathogens spread by indirect contact).[44]
  • Magnetic TiO
    2     nanoparticle oxidation of organic contaminants agitated using a magnetic field.[45]
  • Sterilization of surgical instruments and removal of fingerprints from electrical and optical components.[46]

Hydrocarbon production from CO
2

[edit]

TiO
2 conversion of CO
2 into gaseous hydrocarbons.[47] The proposed reaction mechanisms involve the creation of a highly reactive carbon radical from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide which then reacts with photogenerated protons to ultimately form methane. Efficiencies of TiO
2 -based photocatalysts are low, although nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes[48] and metallic nanoparticles[49] help.

Paints

[edit]

ePaint is a less-toxic alternative to conventional antifouling marine paints that generates hydrogen peroxide.

Photocatalysis of organic reactions by polypyridyl complexes,[50] porphyrins,[51] or other dyes[52] can produce materials inaccessible by classical approaches. Most photocatalytic dye degradation studies have employed TiO
2. The anatase form of TiO
2 has higher photon absorption characteristics.[53]

Filtration membranes

[edit]

Photocatalyst radical generation species allow for the degradation of organic pollutants into non-toxic compounds at a high efficiency. Use of CuO nanosheets to breakdown azo bonds in food dyes is one such example, with 96.99% degradation after only 6 minutes.[54] Degradation of organic matter is a highly applicable property, particularly in waste processing.

The use of photocatalyst TiO2 as a support system for filtration membranes shows promise in improving membrane bioreactors in the treatment of wastewater.[55] Polymer-based membranes have shown reduced fouling and self-cleaning properties in both blended and coated TiO2 membranes. Photocatalyst-coated membranes show the most promise, as the increased surface exposure of the photocatalyst increases its organic degradation activity.[56]

Photocatalysts are also highly effective reducers of toxic heavy metals like hexavalent chromium from water systems. Under visible light the reduction of Cr(VI) by a Ce-ZrO2 sol-gel on a silicon carbide was 97% effective at reducing the heavy metal to trivalent chromium.[57]

Air Filtration

[edit]

Light2CAT was a project funded by the European Commission from 2012 to 2015. It aimed to develop a modified TiO
2 that can absorb visible light and include this modified TiO
2 into construction concrete. The TiO
2 degrades harmful pollutants such as NOx into NO3−. The modified TiO2 is in use in Copenhagen and Holbæk, Denmark, and Valencia, Spain. This “self-cleaning” concrete led to a 5-20% reduction in NOx over the course of a year.[58][59]

Quantification

[edit]

ISO 22197-1:2007 specifies a test method for the measurement of NO
2 removal for materials that contain a photocatalyst or have superficial photocatalytic films.[60]

Specific FTIR systems are used to characterize photocatalytic activity or passivity, especially with respect to volatile organic compounds, and representative binder matrices.[61]

Mass spectrometry allows measurement of photocatalytic activity by tracking the decomposition of gaseous pollutants such as nitrogen NOx or CO
2 [62]
