Platinum nanoparticles decorated TiO2 nanotubes for VOCs and bacteria removal in simulated real condition: Effect of the deposition method on the photocatalytic degradation process efficiency

Résumé

The incorporation of noble metals onto TiO2 nanostructure is considered as a promoting method to enhance the photocatalytic degradation of pollutant in air treatment process. In this study, highly organized TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) were grown by the anodization method of Titanium substrates. The TiO2-NTs were successfully decorated by platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (NPs) using two different deposition methods: (1) electrodeposition and (2) photodeposition. We explore the impact of different deposition methods on the morphology of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed onto TiO2 nanotubes and the optical characteristics of Pt-TiO2 nanocomposites, investigating their efficacy in photocatalytic degradation We investigate the effect of varying the deposition method on the morphology of PtNPs dispersed onto TiO2 nanotubes and the optical properties of the Pt-TiO2 nanocomposites and their efficient photocatalytic activity degradation against Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and bacteria. Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM and TEM) reveal a nanotubular TiO2 anatase structure adorned with Pt NPs, with the quantity and size of NPs contingent upon the deposition technique employed. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra demonstrate that the Pt/TiO2 heterojunction facilitates the separation of photogenerated charges, thereby diminishing carrier recombination rates. To point out the effect of Pt NPS, both pure TiO2 and Pt/TiO2 heterojunction were tested in the photodegradation of Ethyl Acetate (EA). The Pt/TiO2 heterojunction exhibits superior photocatalytic performance compared to TiO2 in EA degradation, regardless of the Pt deposition method employed. Optimal results are achieved with 120 s of Pt electrodeposition and 3 h of Pt photodeposition under visible irradiation, yielding kinetic constants of approximately 0.245 and 0.195 mg.m(-3).s(-1), respectively, underscoring the pivotal role of the platinum deposition method in pollutant photodegradation. Respectively simultaneous removal of EA and bacteria (Escherichia coli) was tested using Pt and non-Pt decorated TiO2 NTs. We attributed a total degradation of the bacteria after 180 min using the two efficient photocatalysts Electro 120 s and Photo 3 h compared to 60 % of degradation using pure TiO2 nanotubes.
