Abstract

Combined post-edge XANES (X-ray absorption near-edge structural) and ²⁹Si magic angle spinning solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS SSNMR) observations show that Ti was dispersed in the frameworks of nano SiO₂ (synthesized with the sol-gel method). In addition, the nano TiO₂-SiO₂ photocatalyst have features such as A₁ (4969 eV), A₂ (4970.5 eV) and A₃ (4972 eV) that can be attributed to 1s-to-3d transitions for four- (TiO₄), five- ((Ti=O)O₄), and six- (TiO₆) coordinated Ti species, respectively. The A₂ ((Ti=O)O₄) in TiO₂-SiO₂ may be the main active species, for instance, in the photocatalytic decomposition of trace 2-chlorophenol in H₂O. This work exemplifies the utilization of XANES to reveal the active species in nano photocatalysts in detail.
