Problems solved by technology

However, due to its relatively large size, the micron-sized (001) surface exposed TiO 2 The photocatalytic activity of microcrystals is relatively low. Researchers often use doping, noble metal deposition, composite graphene or other photocatalysts to improve the photoresponse range of the catalyst and inhibit the ineffective recombination of photogenerated carriers, thereby improving its photocatalytic activity.
Existing deposition techniques inevitably cover the (001) high-energy surface with high photocatalytic activity, and to some extent lose the ability to prepare (001) surface exposed TiO 2 The original intention of microcrystal

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for selectively depositing homogeneous nanoparticles on the surface of titanium dioxide microcrystals to enhance photocatalytic activity. The method comprises the following steps: dispersing titanium dioxide microcrystals with (001) surface exposure into an aqueous solution of titanium tetrafluoride, and holding the temperature of the solution for a certain time toselectively grow titanium dioxide nanoparticles on the (101) crystal surface of the microcrystals. The invention skillfully utilizes two dynamic processes of selective adsorption of fluorine ions onhigh energy surface and heterogeneous nucleation and growth of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the reaction system, The nano-morphology of (001) high-energy surface with high photocatalytic activityin titanium dioxide microcrystals is successfully preserved, and the nano-modification of other crystal surfaces is realized, finally the photocatalytic activity of the crystallites is improved obviously.
