摘要
利用TiO_2纳米晶光还原活性光催化驱动氧化还原类染料产生颜色变化构建可逆光致变色体系,为设计和制备性能优异的可逆光致变色体系提供了新思路。然而传统TiO_2价带空穴氧化活性远高于导带电子还原活性,在紫外光作用下氧化降解染料,因此赋予TiO_2光还原活性、抑制其光氧化活性是实现TiO_2/氧化还原类染料可逆光致变色体系的关键。本文以胶体纳米晶热注入法合成法为基础,发展了羟基功能团修饰及钡离子掺杂引入氧空位等新方法,可控制备了具有光还原活性的TiO_2纳米晶。羟基功能团或钡离子掺杂引入的氧空位可以有效俘获光生空穴,赋予TiO_2纳米晶光还原活性,从而成功制备了TiO_2纳米晶/氧化还原类染料可逆光致变色体系。
Construction of photochromic system based on TiO_2 nanocrystals photocatalyzed color switching of redox dyes presents a new pathway for the design of new kind of color switching systems. The traditional TiO_2 has high photo-oxidative activity, resulting in dye decomposition under UV light irradiation. Preventing the photooxidative activity of TiO_2 and thus promoting photoreductive activity is the key step for constructing photoreversible color switching system. Here we report the design and synthesis of colloidal TiO_2 nanocrystals with photoreductive activity modified with hydroxyl groups or doped with barium ions to produce oxygen vacancies. Hydroxyl groups and oxygen vacancies can act as effective sacrificial electron donors to scavenge photogenerated holes, preclude photodegradation of the dyes, and enable reversible and fast color switching based on TiO_2 nanocrystals and redox dyes.
