Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a method for preparing TiO2 powder with a rutile@anatase core-shell structure, belonging to the field of photocatalytic material preparation technology. Background Technology

[0002] TiO2, as a high-performance multifunctional inorganic material, is widely used in various fields such as photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, photoelectric conversion, antibacterial and anti-corrosion, and solar energy utilization due to its strong chemical stability, non-toxicity, and low cost. The performance of TiO2 is closely related to its crystal structure, among which rutile and anatase are the two most common and valuable crystal forms. The two exhibit significant differences in physicochemical properties: Rutile TiO2 has excellent thermal stability, mechanical strength, and electron transport efficiency, and its dense crystal structure can ensure the structural integrity of the material under complex working conditions (such as high-temperature reactions and long-term use) when used as a powder core. However, it has few surface active sites and a low specific surface area, resulting in relatively limited photocatalytic activity and surface reactivity. Anatase TiO2, on the other hand, has a higher specific surface area, abundant surface defects, and excellent photocatalytic activity. Its surface adsorption capacity and reactivity are outstanding, but its thermal stability is poor, and it is prone to crystal transformation under high-temperature environments. It also has weak mechanical properties, making it difficult to balance structural stability and application performance when used alone as a functional powder.

[0003] In practical applications, single-crystal TiO2 powders often fail to meet the comprehensive performance requirements of complex scenarios. For example, in photocatalytic reactions, materials need both a stable structure to ensure recycling efficiency and high surface activity to enhance the catalytic reaction rate. In optoelectronic materials, the core structure requires efficient electron transport capabilities, while the surface provides sufficient reaction sites to promote interfacial charge transfer. Traditional single-crystal TiO2 powders or simple physical mixtures of bicrystalline powders struggle to achieve the synergistic benefits of both crystal forms—the two crystal forms lack tight bonding in physical mixtures, hindering electron transport and easily leading to component separation, thus failing to achieve a performance improvement effect greater than the sum of its parts (1+1>2). Therefore, constructing core-shell structure TiO2 powders with a rutile core and anatase shell, achieving synergistic performance through the functional complementarity of the core and shell layers, has become a key direction for overcoming the limitations of single-crystal TiO2 powders.

[0004] Currently, there are two major technical challenges in the preparation of core-shell TiO2 powder: First, some methods use physical coating or chemical deposition to construct the shell, which can easily lead to uneven distribution of the anatase shell thickness and weak bonding with the rutile core interface. This can cause the shell to detach during subsequent applications, seriously affecting the stability of the material. Second, some chemical conversion methods rely on expensive template agents, special catalysts, or harsh reaction conditions such as high temperature and high pressure. This not only increases the complexity of the process and production costs, but also makes it difficult to accurately control the crystal purity of the surface anatase and to achieve precise control over the thickness of the anatase shell and the heterojunction interface layer.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the inventors employed a mild, directional chemical transformation process to achieve in-situ uniform growth of the anatase shell on the rutile core surface. This not only ensures a tightly bonded heterojunction interface between the anatase shell and the rutile core, fundamentally solving the problems of uneven shell formation and easy detachment, but also allows for precise control of the thickness of the anatase shell and the heterojunction interface layer through process parameter adjustment, while simultaneously guaranteeing the high crystal purity of the anatase phase. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a method for preparing TiO2 powder with a rutile@anatase core-shell structure. This method achieves uniform and continuous coating of the anatase phase on the surface of rutile TiO2 particles by precisely controlling the parameters of hydrothermal alkaline treatment, acid washing conversion, and heat treatment. This results in a heterojunction structure with high lattice matching and tight interfacial bonding, effectively solving the technical problems of numerous phase interface defects, poor structural stability, and low precision in controlling the shell thickness and heterojunction interface layer thickness in traditional preparation methods. This provides a reliable technical solution for the large-scale application of high-performance photocatalytic materials.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: This application provides a method for preparing TiO2 powder with a rutile@anatase core-shell structure, the method comprising the following steps: S1: Alkali treatment process Rutile TiO2 powder was mixed evenly with an alkaline solution and placed in a high-pressure reactor for hydrothermal reaction under constant temperature and stirring conditions. After the reaction was completed, solid-liquid separation was performed, and the product was repeatedly washed with deionized water until the washing solution was neutral. After drying, the alkaline-treated product was obtained. S2: Acid treatment process The alkaline-treated product obtained in step S1 is dispersed in an acidic solution and subjected to acid treatment under constant temperature and stirring conditions.

The drying temperature is 30-200℃, the heating rate is 1-20℃ / min, and the holding time is 0.5-24 hours.

[0009] Further, in step S2, the acidic solution is an aqueous solution of an inorganic acid, wherein the inorganic acid is selected from any one or more combinations of hydrochloric acid (HCl), nitric acid (HNO3), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and perchloric acid (HClO4), preferably HCl or HNO3; The concentration of the acidic solution is 0.1-20 mol / L; The ratio of the alkaline-treated product to the acidic solution is ≥30mL of acidic solution per gram of alkaline-treated product, preferably a solid-liquid ratio of 1g:(30-120)mL; The acid treatment is performed at a temperature of 20-95℃ for a duration of 0.1-24 hours. The stirring speed for acid treatment is 10-1000 r / min; The material of the vacuum filtration membrane is selected from one or more of mixed cellulose ester (MCE), polyethersulfone (PES), nylon, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polycarbonate track etched (PCTE / PETE), preferably a PES membrane, with a pore size of ≤0.3 μm. The drying temperature is 30-200℃, the heating rate is 1-20℃ / min, and the holding time is 0.5-24 hours.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S3, the crucible is made of an inert material that can be calcined in an air atmosphere, selected from any one of corundum crucible, silicon carbide crucible, quartz crucible, and boron nitride crucible, preferably a corundum crucible; In the calcination process, the powder layer thickness is ≤1mm, the calcination temperature is 200-950℃, the heating rate is 1-20℃ / min, preferably 5℃ / min; the holding time is 5-500 min; and the calcination atmosphere is air.

[0013] This application also provides the application of TiO2 powder with a rutile@anatase core-shell structure prepared by the above preparation method in the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants.

[0014] The core-shell structured TiO2 powder exhibits a photocatalytic degradation rate of ≥80% for organic pollutants in water under ultraviolet light irradiation.

[0015] The organic pollutants mentioned include those listed in the Shanghai Key Controlled New Pollutants List (2023 Edition): Perfluorooctyl sulfonic acid and its salts and perfluorooctyl sulfonyl fluoride (PFOS class); Perfluorooctanoic acid and its salts and related compounds (PFOA class); Decabromodiphenyl ether; Short-chain chlorinated paraffins; Hexachlorobutadiene; Pentachlorophenol and its salts and esters; Trichlorfon; Perfluorohexyl sulfonic acid and its salts and related compounds (PFHxS class); Declone and its cis and trans isomers; Dichloromethane; chloroform; Nonylphenol; Antibiotics (antibacterial drugs); New pollutants that have been phased out (such as anticides and cypermethrin); Microplastics; Bisphenol A.

[0016] The preparation method provided in this application transforms the surface layer of rutile powder particles into anatase phase, which is the core step in constructing a core-shell structure. Its necessity and significance are mainly reflected in the following three aspects: First, the core rutile phase can maintain the structural stability, mechanical strength, and electron transport efficiency of the powder, avoiding the thermal instability and mechanical defects of the anatase phase when used alone, and ensuring that the powder is not easily broken or degraded in crystal form during preparation and application. Second, the surface anatase phase can provide abundant surface active sites and high specific surface area, significantly improving the core application performance of the powder, such as photocatalysis, adsorption, and reaction activity, and making up for the shortcomings of insufficient surface activity of the rutile phase. Third, in the core-shell structure, a tight crystal interface is formed between the rutile core and the anatase shell, which can promote charge transfer and energy transfer between the two, realizing the synergistic effect of the two crystal forms, and its comprehensive performance far exceeds that of a single crystal form or a physical mixture system.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects: 1) This application achieves dual uniformity at the particle scale in terms of the thickness of the anatase shell and the thickness of the rutile / anatase interface layer by constructing highly uniform reaction conditions; in the resulting core-shell structure, the anatase shell is uniformly distributed without local overthickness or absence, and the width of the phase interface transition region is consistent and continuous, effectively overcoming the structural defects such as uneven shell, blurred interface or loose bonding in traditional methods.

[0018] 2) Thanks to the coordinated and uniform control of the shell thickness and the interface layer thickness, the core-shell structure of the material obtained in this application has a tight and high-purity crystal phase interface, which significantly improves the charge separation efficiency and long-term stability of the material; the uniform anatase shell provides stable surface activity, while the uniform phase interface promotes the efficient transport of photogenerated charge carriers, and the two work together to enhance photocatalytic performance; at the same time, the core and shell are firmly bonded and are not easy to fall off or deteriorate under complex working conditions.

[0019] 3) This application does not require the use of template agents or harsh reaction conditions. It can achieve precise control of the thickness of the anatase phase shell and the phase interface layer simultaneously by optimizing the homogeneity of the reaction system. The process is simple, low-cost, and highly reproducible. It is suitable for the large-scale preparation of high-performance "rutile@anatase" core-shell TiO2 powder and has good industrialization prospects. Attached Figure Description
