Abstract

This study focused on the difference of photocatalytic performance by the incorporation of Pd into the $TiO_2$ framework and suggested five different catalysts composed of $TiO_2$ and x mol% $Pd-TiO_2$ (x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0). A typical sol-gel method was used to synthesize catalysts, and the phenol photodegradation performance of each catalysts was evaluated. The physicochemical and optical properties of catalysts were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM/EDS), ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy (UV/Vis), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), and photocurrent measurements. With the addition of Pd ions, the band gap of catalysts was shortened and the charge separation between photogenerated electrons and holes easily also occurred. As a result, the phenol photo-destruction performance over 0.75 mol% $Pd-TiO_2$ catalyst was 3 times higher than that of pure $TiO_2$. This is believed to be due to Pd ions acted as an electron capturing function during photocatalysis.

본 연구는 $TiO_2$ 골격에 Pd을 삽입시켰을 때 나타나는 광 촉매 성능의 차이에 초점을 두고, $TiO_2$와 x mol% $Pd-TiO_2$(x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 그리고 1.0)의 5가지 촉매를 제안하였다. 전형적인 졸-겔 방법을 사용하여 촉매를 합성하고 각 촉매의 페놀 광 분해 성능을 평가하였다. XRD, TEM, SEM/EDS, UV/Vis 분광법, 광 발광 분광법 등을 이용하여 촉매의 물리화학적 특성을 확인하였고, 광 발광 분광법 및 광 전류 측정으로 광학적 특성을 확인하였다. Pd 이온을 첨가하면 촉매의 밴드 갭이 감소하고, 광 생성된 전자와 정공 사이의 전하 분리가 쉽게 발생한다. 결과적으로, 0.75 mol% $Pd-TiO_2$ 촉매상의 페놀 광 분해 성능은 순수한 $TiO_2$보다 3배 더 높았는데, 이는 광 촉매 반응 중에 Pd 이온이 전자캡쳐 역할을 하여 일어난 결과로 여겨진다.
