It remains a difficult problem in photocatalysis to develop practical and efficient photocatalysts used in photodecomposition of environmental pollutants. Recent work showed that TiO2 semiconductors with hollow structure have been recognized as a most promising photocatalyst, owing to the capability of increasing light absorption and photocatalytic activity. Whereas, TiO2 with hollow structure still remains much defects, such as, low exposed percentage of active facets, low quantum efficiency , ineffective usage of visible lights. This project was to prepare conductive polymer modified hierarchical TiO2 photocatalysts with exposed reactive facets and yolk-shell structure for the degradation of organic pollutants, which would increase the light absorption, widen the spectral response and raise quantum efficiency. Simultaneously, we will work on the photocatalytic activity and mechanism on the degradation of benzene, formaldehyde and other harmful organic compounds. We will study the photocatalytic mechanism about the separation and transfer of charge carriers as well as the distribution of reactive species under visible light excitation. Also, we will investigate the influence of the composition and structure of conductive polymer on the adsorption and transfer of the pollutants. Moreover, the synergistic effect and the relationship will be discussed among 3D yolk-shell hierarchical structure, the (001) facet and the conductive polymer. Consequently, we have established a controllable method to research the structure and activity relationship between Micro-and macro-structure of the photocatalyst with the light absorption and the photocatalytic performance. Hence, this work will provide us with systemic data and experimental evidence to design and develop photocatalysts with high performance.
