          Abstract

          SnO/SnO 2 composites were synthesised through a simple solid-phase grinding-assisted ultrasonic reaction by using SnCl 2 and NH 4HCO 3 as raw materials. Results showed that SnCl 2 reacted with NH 4HCO 3 to form Sn 6O 4(OH) 4 and NH 4Cl through solid-phase grinding. Sn 6O 4(OH) 4 was subsequently hydrolysed to SnO nanosheets. A small amount of SnO grains was transformed to SnO 2. Different treatment processes played important roles in the composition, microstructural morphology and photocatalytic activity of SnO/SnO 2 composites. The direct ultrasonication of ground products yielded microspheres comprising numerous SnO nanosheets and SnO 2 nanoparticles with excellent visible photocatalytic properties, which can degrade 93.5% of methyl orange within 75 min.

              Influence of Aqueous Inorganic Anions on the Reactivity of Nanoparticles in TiO2 Photocatalysis

              The influence of inorganic anions on the photoreactivity and aggregation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (NPs) was assessed by dosing carbonate, chloride, nitrate, phosphate, and sulfate as potassium salts at multiple concentrations. NP stability was monitored in terms of aggregate morphology and electrophoretic mobility (EPM). Aggregate size and fractal dimension were measured over time by laser diffraction, and the isoelectric point (IEP) as a function of anion and concentration was obtained by measuring EPM versus pH. Phosphate, carbonate, and to a lesser extent, sulfate decreased the IEP of TiO 2 and stabilized NP suspensions owing to specific surface interactions, whereas this was not observed for nitrate and chloride. TiO 2 NPs were exposed to UV-A radiation, and the photoreactivity was assessed by monitoring the production of reactive species over time both at the NP surface (photogenerated holes) and in the bulk solution (hydroxyl radicals) by observing their reactions with the selective probe compounds iodide and terephthalic acid, respectively. The generation of photogenerated holes and hydroxyl radicals was influenced by each inorganic anion to varying degrees. Carbonate and phosphate inhibited the oxidation of iodide, and this interaction was successfully described by a Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism and related to the characteristics of TiO 2 aggregates. Chloride and nitrate do not specifically interact with TiO 2 , and sulfate creates relatively weak interactions with the TiO 2 surface such that no decrease in photogenerated hole reactivity was observed. A decrease in hydroxyl radical generation was observed for all inorganic anions. Quenching rate constants for the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with each inorganic anion do not provide a comprehensive explanation for the magnitude of this decrease, which arises from the interplay of several physicochemical phenomena. This work shows that the reactivity of NPs will be strongly influenced by the makeup of the waters they are released into. The impact of anion species on hydroxyl radical inhibition was as follows: carbonate > chloride > phosphate > nitrate > sulfate.
