IR Spectroscopic Study of the Formation Mechanism of Photoaccumulating Titania-Based Heterooxide Composites
摘要
IR spectroscopic and photocatalytic studies of thin-film TiO2–V2O5 heterooxide composites obtained by codeposition of TiO2 and V2O5 colloids, chemical deposition of a V2O5 shell over TiO2 particles, and thermal decomposition of ammonium vanadate in the presence of TiO2 particles have shown that the disordered V2O5 phase produced via a pyrolytic synthetic route formed close heterocontacts with titania particles that facilitated charge separation and simultaneously ensured effective accumulation of the photoinduced charges.
