Embodiment 1

[0028] Add 0.16 mL of butyl titanate to 8 mL of absolute ethanol, stir for 2 minutes, add 0.1 g of polystyrene microspheres prepared by soap-free emulsion polymerization to the lower alcohol after anhydrous, ultrasonicate and stir for 3 minutes each. Pour the polystyrene-containing anhydrous alcohol solution into the crucible and place it on top of a sealable container. The bottom of the sealable container is prefilled with 3 mL of distilled water. After sealing the container, put it into an oven, start heating to 150°C, the heating rate is 10-20°C / min, and keep it warm for 10 hours after the temperature reaches the set temperature. Cool down to room temperature naturally after the heat preservation, open the airtight container, take out the crucible, pour out the powder, wash with distilled water and absolute alcohol three times respectively, and dry in vacuum at 60°C for 8 hours. The powder was calcined at 500°C for 2h to obtain hollow titanium dioxide microspheres. figure...

Abstract

The invention relates to preparation of core / shell structural polystyrene / titanium dioxide composite photo catalyst, comprising the steps of: (1) dissolving titanium alkoxide in absolute lower alcohol to be prepared into aqueous alcohol solution of titanium alkoxide with the concentration of titanium alkoxide in the lower alcohol being 0.004-0.100mL / Ml; (2) adding polystyrene microballs into the aqueous alcohol solution of titanium alkoxide to experience ultra-sound and stirring to obtain a uniform mixture; (3) placing a crucible holding, the polystyrene microballs and the aqueous alcohol solution of titanium alkoxide in a closed container, heating the closed container to 70-200 DEG C for heat treatment and preserving temperature for 1-96 hours; washing and drying to obtain the core / shell structural polystyrene / titanium dioxide composite photo catalyst. The photo catalyst prepared by the invention maintains the characteristic of high catalytic activity of titanium dioxide nano crystal grain, and has the photo catalytic activity similar to the photo catalytic activity of nano titanium dioxide prepared by gas phase method in the majority of photo catalysis reactions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation of composite photocatalysts, in particular to the preparation of polystyrene / titanium dioxide composite photocatalysts with a core / shell structure. Background technique [0002] Nano-titanium dioxide is a common photocatalyst, which has attracted widespread attention because of its good chemical stability, high oxidation activity, non-toxicity to the human body, low cost and wide application range. However, because nanocrystals are easy to agglomerate, nano-titanium dioxide is often agglomerated into larger particles. Due to the absorption and scattering of light by surface titanium dioxide, the light inside the particles is not sufficient. Therefore, the light-harvesting efficiency of larger particles of titanium dioxide is low. Large particles are easy to settle under the action of gravity and have poor suspension in the liquid phase, which also limits the practical application of titanium dioxide pho...
