  1. ‘TiO2’, GREEN CATALYST: CLEAN ENVIRONMENT Dr. Romana Khan Department of Environmental Sciences, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Abbottabad 1st National Conference on Biotechnology & Microbiology

  2. Introduction Photocatalysis - Need of the day

  3. CO2 + H2O CO2 Chlorophyll Photocatalyst Organic Compound + H2O + O2 H2O Starch + O2 Organic compound Photocatalysis

  4. Photocatalytic Applications

  5. Antimicrobial Effect

  6. Antimicrobial Effect

  7. Self-Cleaning Effect

  8. Photocatalysts

  9. TiO2 – an Ideal Photocatalyst • Cheap and can be reused • High photo-chemical corrosive resistance • Strong oxidizing power • Photocatalysis takes place at ambient temperature • Atmospheric oxygen is used for the reaction

  10. TiO2 - Photocatalysis 3.12 eV (380 nm)

  11. Redox potential of h+ • The redox potential for photogenerated h+ is +2.53 V vs. the SHE • After reaction with water, these h+ can produce •OH • Both h+ and •OH are more positive compare to ozone

  12. Photocatalytic Reactions

  13. Entail Physicochemical Properties of TiO2 The applications of TiO2 is a function of specific physicochemical properties like: • High Surface area • Small Crystalline Size • Anatase form of TiO2 • High crystallinity • Porous structure • Activation light source An appropriate synthetic procedure can provide TiO2 with promising efficiency

  14. Synthesis of TiO2 Powders Synthesis of TiO2 powders • Sulfate Method • Chloride Method • Specific Methods • Sol-Gel Method

  15. Hydrolysis and Condensation

  16. Sol-Gel Technology

  17. Visible-Light Active Photocatalyst TiO2– efficient photocatalyst under UV light Yet, need visible-light active photocatalyst for practical purpose Can be achieved by doping TiO2 with nonmetals, transition metals and dyes Activity increases by loading a metaloxide Metal oxide reduces the chance of recombination of electrons & holes produced during photocatalytic reactions

  18. Modification of TiO2

  19. Coating Techniques A- Spin Coating Method

  20. B- Dip Coating Method

  21. C-Spray Coating Method
