Abstract

To prepare mesoporous $TiO_2$ ($meso-TiO_2$) with anatase and rutile crystal structures, hydrothermal and template synthesis were used. $Meso-TiO_2$ with anatase structure was obtained by hydrothermal synthesis. The crystal structure of $meso-TiO_2$ by hydrothermal synthesis converted from anatase to rutile by simple heating at $600^{\circ}C$ and above. However, their mesopore structure collapsed due to phase transition. To prepare $meso-TiO_2$ with rutile structure, template synthesis method was applied using mesoporous silica KIT-6 as a template. Once we incorporated anatase $TiO_2$ inside mesopores of silica, the phase transition temperature of $TiO_2$ confined inside KIT-6 was much higher ($900^{\circ}C$) than that of free-standing $TiO_2$ ($600^{\circ}C$). The suppression of $TiO_2$ phase transition inside mesopores of KIT-6 is closely related with the interaction between $TiO_2$ surface and silica walls in KIT-6 because oxygen vacancy in $TiO_2$ is regarded as the starting point for phase transition. After removal of silica template by NaOH solution washing, $meso-TiO_2$ with mixed phase between anatase and rutile was obtained.

본 연구에서는 수열합성법과 주형합성법을 이용하여 메조포어를 지닌 $TiO_2$를 합성하였다. 수열합성법을 이용해서 anatase 구조의 메조포러스 $TiO_2$를 합성했다. Rutile 구조의 메조포러스 $TiO_2$를 제조하기 위해서 수열합성법으로 제조된 메조포러스 $TiO_2$를 $300^{\circ}C$부터 $700^{\circ}C$까지 소성시켰더니 $600^{\circ}C$부터 anatase에서 rutile 결정구조로 상전이가 일어났다. 하지만, 메조포어가 붕괴되었다. 메조포어을 지닌 $TiO_2$를 합성하기 위해서 메조포러스 실리카 KIT-6을 주형으로 사용하는 주형합성법을 사용하였다. 먼저 메조포어 내부에 $TiO_2$를 형성시키고 소성온도를 800, $900^{\circ}C$로 높여서 anatase에서 rutile로의 상전이 거동을 조사하였다. 수열합성을 통해 제조된 자유로운 상태의 메조포러스 $TiO_2$의 경우 $600^{\circ}C$에서 anatase에서 rutile로의 상전이가 일어났지만 제한된 공간인 메조포러스 기공 내부에 형성된 $TiO_2$의 경우 $800^{\circ}C$까지 가열하더라도 rutile구조로 상전이가 일어나지 않았고, $900^{\circ}C$로 소성시키자 일부의 anatase가 rutile로의 상전이가 일어나기 시작하였다. 이러한 상전이는 산소 빈자리의 형성에 의해서 일어나야 한다고 알려져 있지만 실리카 기공 내부에 형성된 $TiO_2$는 실리카 기공 표면이 산소 빈자리 형성을 방해해서 상전이가 억제되는 것으로 판단된다. $900^{\circ}C$의 높은 소성온도로 인해서 anatase와 rutile 구조가 섞여있으며 실리카 기공 내부에 형성된 $TiO_2$는 NaOH 수용액을 이용해서 주형인 KIT-6과 분리해서 메조포어를 지닌 $TiO_2$를 제조하였다.
