Abstract:
Nanosolid superacid SO
42-/TiO
2 was prepared by Sol-Gel method and soak method,and characterized by means of XRD,TEM,IR,XPS and specific surface area measurements.The results indicate that the SO
42-/TiO
2 grain sizes (≤ 30 nm) are smaller than pure TiO
2 and the specific surface area is greater than the pure TiO
2.In addition to the SO
42- are combined with metal ions(Ti
4+) in a bidentate fashion.The binding energy of Ti
4+ at SO
42-/TiO
2 is bigger than that of pure TiO
2.The acid strength was measured by the model reaction of the synthesis of ethyl acetate.The results also show that oxygen sensitivity as well as the working temperature are improved in comparison with the pure TiO
2.The relationship between the oxygen sensing properties and structure was discussed.
