Disordered mesoporous polymer derived N-doped TiO2/Si-O-C-N nanocomposites with nanoscaled heterojunctions towards enhanced adsorption and harnessing of visible light
Abstract : The mesoporous N-doped TiO 2 /Si-O-C-N ceramic nanocomposites has been revealed to be a potential candidate towards visible light photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes. The polymer-derived ceramic route was implemented to prepare uniformly distributed in-situ crystallized N-doped TiO 2 nanocrystals in a mesoporous amorphous siliconoxycarbonitride matrix. This chemical approach assisted by the hard template pathway resulted in a high surface area (186 m 2 /g) nanocomposite exhibiting predominantly mesoporous structure with an average pore size of 11 nm. The two-step process involved pyrolysis of the polyhydridomethyilsiloxane impregnated in CMK3 (hard template) under argon generating SiOC-C composites and functionalizing it with titanium n-tetrabutoxide to be pyrolyzed under ammonia to form the titled nanocomposite. Interestingly, pyrolysis in a reactive ammonia atmosphere resulted in the incorporation of nitrogen in the titania lattice while decomposing the template. The Si-O-C-N support on which N-doped TiO 2 exhibited superior adsorption of organic dye molecules and photocatalytically active in the visible wavelength. The nanoscaled heterojunctions reduced the recombination rate and the presence of superoxide anions/hydroxyl radicals was found to be responsible for the dye degradation.
