چکیده
بهمنظور بهبود خواص فتوکاتالیستی نانوذرات TiO2 سنتزشده بهروش سل- ژل، اصلاح سطح آنها به‌وسیلۀ آهن بهروش تلقیح- فراصوت انجام شد. آنالیزهای XRD، FE-SEM، EDX و FTIR دوپ یون­های آهن را در نانوذرات TiO2 با ساختار نانوبلوری آناتاز نشان دادند. براساس نتایج آنالیز UV-vis DRS حضور آهن در ساختار TiO2 موجب گستردگی جذب نور به ناحیۀ مرئی شد و باند گپ نانوذرات را به eV 93/2 کاهش داد. فعالیت نانوذرات TiO2 و Fe-TiO2 در تخریب فتوکاتالیستی رنگزای آبی مستقیم 71 (DB71) تحت تابش نور مرئی بررسی شد. میزان تخریب رنگزا به‌وسیلۀ نانوذرات Fe-TiO2 بعد از 180 دقیقه تابش به 3/90% رسید که نشان از فعالیت بالای نانوفتوکاتالیست تحت تابش نور مرئی دارد. کاهش اندازۀ بلورین، ایجاد ترازهای جدید انرژی، جذب بالای نور مرئی و انتقال بار مناسب در Fe-TiO2 دلایل اصلی افزایش فعالیت فتوکاتالیستی آن هستند. سازوکاری برای تأثیر نقش آهن در عملکرد Fe-TiO2 ارائه شد. سینتیک واکنش تخریب و پایداری نانوفتوکاتالیست Fe-TiO2 بررسی شد.

چکیده English

In order to improve the photocatalytic properties of TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized by sol-gel method, surface modification was conducted by iron using an impregnation-ultrasound method. XRD, FE-SEM, EDX and FTIR analysis showed Fe3+ ions doped in TiO2 nanoparticles with anatase nanocrystalline structure. Based on the UV-vis DRS results, the presence of iron in the TiO2 structure caused the light absorption to extend to the visible region and reduced the band gap of nanoparticles to 2.93 eV. The activity of TiO2 and Fe-TiO2 nanoparticles in the photocatalytic degradation of direct blue 71 (DB71) dye was investigated under visible light irradiation. Dye degradation reached 90.3% after 180 minutes of irradiation using Fe-TiO2, which indicates
the high activity of nanophotocatalyst under visible light irradiation.
The main reasons for increasing the photocatalytic activity of Fe-TiO2 are reduction of crystalline size, creation of new energy levels, high absorption of visible light and appropriate charge transfer. A mechanism for the effect of iron on the performance of Fe-TiO2 was presented. Degradation reaction kinetics and stability of Fe-TiO2 nanophotocatalyst were investigated.
