Artigo IPEN-doc 27737 On the surface chemistry and the reuse of sulfur-doped TiO2 films as photocatalysts2021 - BENTO, RODRIGO T.; CORREA, OLANDIR V.; PILLIS, MARINA F.The surface chemistry and recyclability of sulfur-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) films was evaluated. The photocatalysts were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at 400 ◦C. The films were sulfur-doped at 50 ◦C by using hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as sulfur source. The photocatalytic behavior of the films was measure by monitoring the methyl orange dye decolorization under visible light for several cycles. The films are formed only for the anatase crystalline phase. The results demonstrated that no structural modifications or significant differences in the morphology of the films occurred after their use. The sulfur-doped TiO2 films presented good photocatalytic activity, with an efficiency of 72.1% under visible light in its first use. The durability experiments suggest that even with the dye impregnation on the catalyst surface, the photocatalytic activity of the S-doped TiO2 films remained around 70% in the first 3 cycles, which allows their practical application for water treatment and purification under sunlight.Artigo IPEN-doc 27557 Visible-light photocatalytic activity and recyclability of N-doped TiO2 films grown by MOCVD2020 - OLIVEIRA, E.C. de; BENTO, R.T.; CORREA, O.V.; PILLIS, M.F.Nitrogen-doped TiO2 films were grown on borosilicate glass substrates at 400 °C by the metallorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) for removing dye from water under visible light. The effect of N-doping on the structural, surface, and photocatalytic properties of films was evaluated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses revealed that 1.56 and 2.44 at% of nitrogen were incorporated into the films by varying the NH3 flux during the growth. Methyl orange dye degradation experiments showed that the N-doped films presented photoactivity under visible light. The film containing 2.44 at% of nitrogen exhibited the best photocatalytic behavior, with 55% of efficiency. Recyclability tests under visible light showed that the film efficiency dropped gradually after each test. N-TiO2 films grown by MOCVD have the potential to be used in environmental applications by removing pollutants using a green method under sunlight or even under internal illumination, although its reuse is limited.Artigo IPEN-doc 27162 Effect of growth parameters on the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 films prepared by MOCVD2020 - MARCELLO, BIANCA A.; CORREA, OLANDIR V.; BENTO, RODRIGO T.; PILLIS, MARINA F.The present study evaluated the main factors that influence the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at 400 and 500 °C, in different growth times. The photocatalytic behavior was analyzed by measuring the methyl orange dye degradation at different pH values. Structural and morphological characteristics, and the recyclability of the catalysts for several cycles were also investigated. Anatase phase was identified in all films. The higher photodegradation performances were obtained at acidic pH. The results demonstrated that the photocatalyst thickness is an important parameter in heterogenous photocatalysis. The best photocatalytic result occurred for the 395 nm-thick TiO2 film grown at 400 °C, which presented 65.3% of the dye degradation under UV light. The recyclability experiments demonstrated that the TiO2 films grown by MOCVD present a great stability after several photocatalytic cycles, which allows their practical application for water treatment with high efficiency.Artigo IPEN-doc 26547 Reativação e reutilização de fotocatalisadores de TiO2 dopados com enxofre em baixa temperatura2019 - BENTO, RODRIGO T.; CORREA, OLANDIR V.; PILLIS, MARINA F.O presente estudo avaliou a possibilidade de reutilização fotocatalítica dos filmes de dióxido de titânio (TiO2) dopados com enxofre em baixa temperatura. Os filmes foram crescidos por deposição química de organometálicos em fase vapor (MOCVD) a 400°C. A dopagem com enxofre foi realizada a 50°C por um processo semelhante ao utilizado na dessulfuração do sulfeto de hidrogênio (H2S). O comportamento fotocatalítico e a durabilidade dos filmes foram medidos a partir da degradação do corante alaranjado de metila sob luz visível por vários ciclos. Os filmes são formados apenas pela fase cristalina anatase. Os resultados demonstraram que não houve modificações estruturais ou diferenças significativas na morfologia dos filmes após a sua utilização. Os filmes de TiO2 dopados com enxofre apresentaram uma excelente atividade fotocatalítica, com uma eficiência de 72,1% sob luz visível. Os experimentos de durabilidade sugerem que, mesmo com a impregnação de corante na superfície do catalisador, os filmes de TiO2 dopados apresentaram boa estabilidade fotocatalítica após diversas horas de uso, o que permite sua aplicação prática no tratamento e purificação da água sob luz solar com elevada eficiência.
