Abstract: CeO2-TiO2/attapulgite (ATP)nanocomposites were prepared by the sol-gel method using ATP as support,cerium nitrate hexahydrate and tetrabutyl titanate as raw materials,glacial acetic acid as complexing agent.The microstructures of the as-prepared composites were characterized by thermogravimetric-differential scanning caloricity (TG-DSC)analysis,transmission electron microscopy (TEM),X-ray diffraction (XRD),and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements.The effects of Ce/Ti molar ratio on catalytic properties of the as-prepared composites for decomposing Rhodamine B solutions were investigated.The results indicated that when Ce/Ti was more than or equal to 5/5,CeO2-TiO2 solid solution oxide particles with cubic fluorite structure were uniformly coated on the surface of ATP with particle size of 5—10 nm.With the increase of Ti4+ content,CeO2 nanoparticles tended to form a defective crystalline phase and existed as amorphous phase.When Ce/Ti was less than 3/7,a separated anatase TiO2 was observed in the composites.A suitable amount of Ti4+ doping could promote the formation of structure defects,which contributed to increasing the content of oxygen vacancies and improving the catalytic activity.The catalytic efficiency of CeO2-TiO2/ATP (Ce/Ti=5/5)nanocomposite on Rhodamine B solution was higher than that of others,and the removal rate of chemical oxygen demand (COD)could reach over 96%.

摘要: 以凹凸棒石(ATP)为载体,Ce(NO3)3·6H2O和Ti(OBu)4为原料,冰醋酸为抑制剂,采用溶胶-凝胶法制备CeO2-TiO2/ATP纳米复合材料。利用TG-DSC、TEM、XRD和N2吸附/脱附仪对复合材料进行表征,考察铈钛摩尔比对所制备样品催化降解罗丹明B溶液性能的影响。结果表明,当Ce/Ti≥5/5时,具有立方萤石结构的氧化物颗粒以固溶体形式均匀分布在ATP表面,颗粒尺寸约5~10 nm;随Ti4+的进一步增加,样品中的CeO2结晶不完全;当Ce/Ti<3/7时,样品中出现锐钛矿型TiO2的分离相。适量的Ti4+掺杂能促进CeO2产生较多的结构缺陷,有利于增加晶格氧空位的浓度,提高样品的催化活性。对罗丹明B的催化降解实验表明,当Ce/Ti=5/5时,样品的催化性能较好,对罗丹明B溶液的化学需氧量(COD)去除率可达96%以上。
