Although humic acid (HA) can inhibit TiO2photocatalysis, it can sensitize TiO2and induce significant visible-light (VL) activity in phenol degradation. This favorable effect of HA was negligible on phosphate-modified TiO2(P-TiO2), but significantly stronger on Nafion-modified TiO2(Nf-TiO2). The reaction rate constants for phenol degradation on Nf-TiO2increased from (0.003±0.001) to (0.025±0.003) min−1when the reaction was performed in the presence of 20 mg/L HA. The different effects of HA on P-TiO2and Nf-TiO2photocatalysis cannot be attributed to adsorption changes, because the adsorption capacities of P-TiO2and Nf-TiO2were only slightly lower than that of TiO2at an initial HA concentration of 20 mg/mL. Scavenger tests, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, and H2O2detection were taken to understand the low VL activity of the P-TiO2/HA suspension. The main active species for phenol degradation in the TiO2and Nf-TiO2suspensions were superoxide radicals. There were negligible amounts of superoxide radicals in the P-TiO2/HA suspension, possibly because a direct four-electron oxygen reduction reaction occurred. The better VL activity of Nf-TiO2was rationalized on the basis of Mott–Schottky and electrochemical impedance plots. Nafion modification resulted in cathodic shifts of the energy band positions, increased electron density, and less resistance to electron transfer across the interface between TiO2and electrolytes. All these factors facilitated electron transfer and improved the production of active species. Phosphate modification therefore did not improve the VL response of HA sensitized TiO2, and low concentrations of HA can facilitate VL photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants on Nafion surface-modified TiO2.
