본 연구는 광전자촉매 시스템(PECS) 적용을 위하여 광촉매 금속판과 코팅비드를 제조하여 특성을 고찰하였다. 광촉매 물질의 회수가 용이하고, 실용화하기 위하여 티타늄 금속판을 $400^{\circ}C$에서 $700^{\circ}C$까지 $50^{\circ}C$에서 $100^{\circ}C$간격으로 토치를 사용하여 산화처리 하였으며, 비드의 경우 alumina, glass, silica gel beads에 TTIP([Ti$(OC_3H_7)_4$], Aldrich)을 전구체로 사용하여, 유동층 화학기상증착공정(Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition, FB-CVD)으로 박막코팅을 하였다. 광촉매 금속판의 경우 산화처리 후 외관상태와 성분분석 시 최적조건은 $400^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ 60분간 토치로 산화하였을 때였으며, 광촉매 코팅비드의 경우 silica gel beads가 본연의 다공구조를 나타내며 박막코팅이 되어, 상대적으로 alumina, glass beads에 비해 반응표면적이 크게 나타났다.

Photoelectrocatalytic system is based on the idea that the photogenerated electrons in a layer of TiO$_2$ would move toward a cathode with application of high voltage across the TiO$_2$ coated aluminum plate. In this system, aluminum plate is used as a substrate for TiO$_2$ and also serves as a cathode. According to our scheme, moving photogenerated electrons toward a cathode would have the same effect as moving these electrons away from the holes, which would have the effect of retarding recombination of photogenerated electrons with holes. Recent experiments on benzene and toluene showed higher rates of removal with high voltage on compared to high voltage off, which supported our scheme partially.

Thin film of titania nanotubes(TNT) and titania nanofilms(TNF) was fabricated by anodizing for the study of the photo-catalytic reaction(PC) and photoelectrocatalytic reaction(PEC). Removal efficiency of methylene blue was investigated by UV radiation on the TNT coated titanium plate. Removal efficiency was increased with longer TNT length. Degradation efficiency of the PEC reaction was less sensitive than that of PC reaction. And Effect of TNT length is relatively small. Titania nanofilms(TNF) showed low efficiency than TNT. The efficiency drop of PC was larger than that of PEC.

본 연구는 광전자 촉매시스템을 이용해 $TiO_{2}$ 졸이 코팅된 구형 비드의 광분해 효율에 대해 고찰한 것이다. $TiO_{2}$ 졸이 코팅된 구형 비드인 알루미늄비드, 유리비드, 실리카비드 화이트젤 ($1{\cdot}2{\cdot}3$형) 다섯 가지 비드를 사용하였고 실험은 산화환원지시 약인 메틸렌블루 수용액이 광촉매의 산화환원반웅을 통해 색상 및 홉광도 변화를 통해 환원 청도를 고찰할 목적으로 실행되었다. 소재별 실험 결과, 실험에 사용한 소재 중 실리카비드 화이트첼($1{\cdot}2{\cdot}3$형)만이 반응성을 나타냈다. 이들 $1{\cdot}2{\cdot}3$형은 $TiO_{2}$의 함량을 달리한 비드들이며 1형이 가장 적은 함량을 가지며 3형이 가장 많은 함량을 가지고 있다. 실험 결과 3형이 반응성이 가장 좋은 것을 알 수 있으며, 이 실험에서는 코팅물의 함량과 고정물의 상태가 광촉매 반응에 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있다.

The immobilization technique is important to extend the application field of a photocatalyst. Titanium surface was changed into a $TiO_2$ thin film by the anodizing process. The anodized $TiO_2$ had photocatalytic activity, and showed sponge like shape. The photocatalytic degradation of gas phase acetaldehyde and VOCs by anodized titania has been studied in various initial concentrations, humidity and discharge potentials. The reactivity of anodized titania was increased with relative humidity, but excessive humidity led to a decrease of the reaction rate. The electric dark discharge that was combined with photocatalytic reaction enhanced the decomposition rate of the organic compounds. But excessively applied voltage caused corona discharge, which decreased the reaction rate. Optimum relative humidity was 40% and discharge potential was 5 kV under dark discharge region in photocatalytic reaction.

This study describes the preparation of high-performance photocatalyst and its environmental applications. We prepared visible-light response nano-particle photocatalyst exhibiting the similar photocatalytic activity with $TiO_2$, dispersed $TiO_2$ on $SiO_2$ with an active rutile type titanium oxide prepared at low temperature. The binder and stable photocatalytic $TiO_2$ sol for photocatalytic system were also prepared. Such products were evaluated by UV/Vis spectrometer, X-ray diffraction analysis, SEM, measurement of photocatalytic activities and surface area, mechanical properties of $TiO_2$-coated surfaces. The results obtained can be applied in efficient photocatalytic systems using POF and metal plate for the purification of air.

Nanosized TiO₂ has been widely investigated in photoelectrochemical or photocatalytic applications due to their intrinsic properties such as suitable band position, high photocorrosion resistance, and surface area. In this study, to achieve the high efficiency in photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic performance, TiO₂ nanotubular structures were formed by anodization at various temperatures and times. The morphological and crystal structure of the anodized TiO₂ nanotubes (NTs) were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties and incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of the TiO₂ NTs were studied with different lengths and morphologies. From the detailed investigations, the optimum thickness of TiO₂ nanotubes was 3 ㎛. Moreover, we found that the optimum photocatalytic pollutant removal efficiency of TiO₂ nanotubes for photodegradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under simulated solar light was 5.34 ㎛ of tube length.

The oxidation/degradation efficiency of formic acid through the photoelectrochemical reaction has been investigated as a basic research in order to develope the process for degrading toxic organic compounds dissolved in water. A $TiO_{2}$ photoelectro-membrane reactor for purification of water, in which filtration as well as photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of organic compounds could be carried out simultaneously, was developed. Porous $SnO_{2}$ tubes prepared by slip casting and commercial porous stainless steel tubes, being electrically conductive, were used as not only supports but also working electrodes. The UV light with the wavelength of 365 nm was applied as a light source for photocatalytic reactions. The photoelectrocatatytic composite membranes were prepared by coating the support surface with the $TiO_{2}$ sol of pH 1.45. The oxidation efficiency of formic acid increased with the reaction time and the applied voltage, but was almost independent of the solution flux. The results showed that more than 90% of formic acid could he dograded at 27V using the $TiO_{2}$/stainless steel composite membrane, while about 77% in case of the $TiO_{2}/SnO_{2}$ Composite membrane. It was also concluded that the oxidation efficiencies of formic acid could be significantly improved by about 6~7 times by the photoelectrochemical reaction in comparison with those by the photocatalytic reaction only.
