Pure TiO₂ and Sn⁴⁺ doped TiO₂ (TiO₂-Snx%) photocatalysts were prepared by a sol-gel method, where x% represents the nominal molar fraction of Sn⁴⁺ ions in the Zr⁴⁺ structure. The crystal structure and energy band structure of the resultant catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS).The results show that for a low content of Sn⁴⁺ ions, the Sn⁴⁺ ions are doped into the TiO₂ lattice and replace lattice Ti⁴⁺ ions in a substitute mode (Ti_1-xSn_xO₂). The energy levels of these Sn⁴⁺ ions are located 0.38 eV below the conduction band. Moreover, the rutile SnO₂ crystal structure evolves with increasing content of Sn⁴⁺ ions, i.e., a TiO₂/SnO₂ structure is formed. The conduction band of SnO₂ is located 0.33 eV lower than that of TiO₂. The separation and recombination mechanism of the photo-generated carriers was characterized by photoluminescence and transient photovoltage techniques. The results showed that the formation of the energy levels of Sn⁴⁺ ions and the conduction band of rutile SnO₂ can enhance the separation of the photogenerated carriers, and suppress the recombination of photo-generated carriers. However, the energy levels of Sn⁴⁺ can lead to a much longer life time and higher separation efficiency of the photo-generated carriers. For different content of Sn⁴⁺ in Sn⁴⁺ ion doped TiO₂(TiO₂-Snx%), the abovementioned aspects improve the photocatalytic activity.
- Sn⁴⁺-doped TiO₂,
- Content of Sn⁴⁺ ions,
- Transient photovoltage,
- Surface photovoltage spectroscopy,
- Life time of photo-generated electrons
