Description

本発明は、水及び有機物の分解に用いられる光触媒、並びに該光触媒の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a photocatalyst used for the decomposition of water and organic substances, and a method for producing the photocatalyst.

光エネルギーを利用して物質変換を行う方法として、光触媒の利用が挙げられる。光触媒については、光照射によって生じる電子で反応物を還元、正孔で反応物を酸化する能力を持つことが既に知られている。この技術を応用した有害物質の分解除去、部分酸化反応、および水分解反応などの化学反応プロセスは、環境およびエネルギー問題の観点から重要な課題になっている。光触媒には、光照射によって効率良く化学反応を進行させることはもとより、環境維持の観点から光触媒自身が毒性の低い材料から構成されることが要求される。これまでに開示されている光触媒の中では酸化チタンが高い光触媒活性を持ち、毒性の低い材料として知られている。   As a method for performing substance conversion using light energy, use of a photocatalyst can be mentioned. As for the photocatalyst, it is already known that it has the ability to reduce the reactant with electrons generated by light irradiation and oxidize the reactant with holes. Chemical reaction processes such as decomposition and removal of harmful substances, partial oxidation reaction, and water decomposition reaction to which this technology is applied have become important issues from the viewpoint of environmental and energy problems. The photocatalyst is required to be composed of a material having low toxicity from the viewpoint of maintaining the environment as well as allowing a chemical reaction to proceed efficiently by light irradiation. Among the photocatalysts disclosed so far, titanium oxide has a high photocatalytic activity and is known as a material having low toxicity.

一方、酸化セリウムは高い紫外線遮断能を持ち、紫外線吸収サングラス、自動車用紫外線カットガラス、日焼け防止化粧品などに幅広く応用されている。また、酸化セリウムは希土類の一種で極めて毒性が低く、人体に対して中毒性や急性毒性がない化合物として知られている。酸化セリウムは、その電子構造から光照射によって生成した電子とホールは直ちに再結合し、微弱な熱が放出される。したがって、酸化セリウムを光触媒として応用するには、光を吸収して生成した電子とホールを再結合させることなく反応物に接触させる必要がある。   On the other hand, cerium oxide has a high UV blocking ability and is widely applied to UV absorbing sunglasses, UV cut glass for automobiles, sun protection cosmetics and the like. Further, cerium oxide is a kind of rare earth and has extremely low toxicity, and is known as a compound having no toxicity or acute toxicity to the human body. In cerium oxide, electrons and holes generated by light irradiation from the electronic structure immediately recombine, and weak heat is released. Therefore, in order to apply cerium oxide as a photocatalyst, it is necessary to contact the reactants without recombining electrons and holes generated by absorbing light.

酸化セリウムは、その高い紫外線吸収能および低毒性から光触媒への応用が試みられている。(例えば、非特許文献1、2及び特許文献1、2参照)

上記の非特許文献1において、荒川らは酸化セリウム光触媒による水からの酸素生成について言及している。この場合、光照射により酸素を発生させるには、電子受容体として働くFe3+やCe4+が光触媒懸濁液中に存在することが必要である。電子受容体であるFe3+やCe4+が存在しない場合の、酸化セリウム光触媒による水素生成については言及していない。 In the above Non-Patent Document 1, Arakawa et al. Refers to oxygen generation from water by a cerium oxide photocatalyst. In this case, in order to generate oxygen by light irradiation, it is necessary that Fe 3+ or Ce 4+ acting as an electron acceptor be present in the photocatalyst suspension. No mention is made of hydrogen generation by a cerium oxide photocatalyst in the absence of Fe 3+ or Ce 4+ as electron acceptors.

非特許文献2には、 酸化チタンと少量の酸化セリウムを複合化することにより、有機物の光分解が促進されることが開示されている。同文献には、酸化セリウム単独の光触媒機能についての記述はない。また、水分解反応に対する活性については言及していない。   Non-Patent Document 2 discloses that photodecomposition of organic substances is promoted by combining titanium oxide and a small amount of cerium oxide. This document does not describe the photocatalytic function of cerium oxide alone. Moreover, it does not mention the activity with respect to the water splitting reaction.

特許文献1には、酸化チタン、酸化ジルコニウム、酸化セリウムのいずれか、あるいは複数を含有している光触媒のNOxガスの浄化作用について開示されている。
また、特許文献2には、光触媒活性を有する粉末を酸化セリウムで被覆した複合化粉末を含む組成物が、医薬品、医薬部外品、化粧品等の外用組成物への応用に対して光毒性(光照射によって生成する電子とホールに由来する人体への悪影響)を抑制する能力を持つことが開示されている。
Patent Document 1 discloses a NOx gas purification action of a photocatalyst containing any one or more of titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, and cerium oxide.
Patent Document 2 discloses that a composition containing a composite powder obtained by coating a powder having photocatalytic activity with cerium oxide is phototoxic for application to external compositions such as pharmaceuticals, quasi drugs, and cosmetics ( It has been disclosed that it has the ability to suppress adverse effects on the human body derived from electrons and holes generated by light irradiation.

これまでに酸化セリウムの光触媒機能に関する研究は多数あるが、水を水素と酸素に完全分解できるような高い光触媒機能を発現するものは知られていない。
したがって、本発明は毒性が低く、水を水素と酸素に完全に分解することができる光触媒、或いは高い活性を有する有機物分解用光触媒、及び光合成反応の光触媒等として有用な酸化セリウムを活性成分として含有する光触媒を提供することを目的とする。
There have been many studies on the photocatalytic function of cerium oxide so far, but no one that exhibits such a high photocatalytic function that can completely decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen has not been known.
Therefore, the present invention contains cerium oxide as an active ingredient which is low in toxicity and can be completely decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen, or a photocatalyst for decomposing organic matter having high activity, and a photocatalyst for a photosynthesis reaction. It aims at providing the photocatalyst which does.

次に本発明の光触媒を製造する方法ついて実施例によりさらに詳細に説明するが、以下の具体例は本発明を限定するものではない。
以下の例では、光触媒の性能は水分解反応に対する水素と酸素の生成活性、および有害物質分解の代表例としてメチレンブルーの分解活性により評価した。
(実施例1)
粉末状の酸化セリウムと炭酸ストロンチウムを、セリウムに対してストロンチウム元素を10%のモル比で混合し、大気中で、1000℃の温度で10時間焼成した。得られた複合体のX線回折パターンを図4に、紫外可視拡散反射スペクトルを図5に、そして発光スペクトルを図6に示す。
Next, the method for producing the photocatalyst of the present invention will be described in more detail by way of examples. However, the following specific examples do not limit the present invention.
In the following examples, the performance of the photocatalyst was evaluated by hydrogen and oxygen generation activity for water splitting reaction and methylene blue decomposition activity as a representative example of harmful substance decomposition.
(Example 1)
Powdered cerium oxide and strontium carbonate were mixed with a strontium element at a molar ratio of 10% with respect to cerium, and calcined in the atmosphere at a temperature of 1000 ° C. for 10 hours. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the obtained composite is shown in FIG. 4, the ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectrum is shown in FIG. 5, and the emission spectrum is shown in FIG.

図4のX線回折パターンによると、ストロンチウム添加酸化セリウムは酸化セリウムと同様な結晶構造を有し、ほぼ単一相であること、および高い結晶性を有することが判る。また、図5の可視紫外拡散反射スペクトルから、ストロンチウムを添加した酸化セリウムの光吸収特性は、酸化セリウムとほぼ一致し、吸収端は450nm付近であることが判る。そして、図6の発光スペクトルから、ストロンチウムを添加することにより、470nm付近に発光ピークが出現し、その励起スペクトルの最大波長は275nmであることが判る。   According to the X-ray diffraction pattern of FIG. 4, it can be seen that strontium-added cerium oxide has a crystal structure similar to that of cerium oxide, is almost single phase, and has high crystallinity. Further, from the visible ultraviolet diffuse reflection spectrum of FIG. 5, it can be seen that the light absorption characteristics of cerium oxide to which strontium is added are almost the same as those of cerium oxide, and the absorption edge is around 450 nm. From the emission spectrum of FIG. 6, it can be seen that by adding strontium, an emission peak appears in the vicinity of 470 nm, and the maximum wavelength of the excitation spectrum is 275 nm.

このストロンチウム添加酸化セリウム複合体1.000gとトリルテニウムドデカカルボニル0.0210gをテトラヒドロフラン30mLに溶かし、60℃の温度で4時間還流した後に、空気中で4時間焼成して光触媒を得た(複合体を基準として、助触媒酸化ルテニウム1.0重量%を担持)。   1.100 g of this strontium-added cerium oxide complex and 0.0210 g of triruthenium dodecacarbonyl were dissolved in 30 mL of tetrahydrofuran, refluxed at 60 ° C. for 4 hours, and then calcined in air for 4 hours to obtain a photocatalyst (composite) On the basis of 1.0% by weight of the cocatalyst ruthenium oxide).

図1に見られるように、光照射によって水素と酸素がほぼ化学量論比で生成することが判った。反応初期の水素と酸素の生成活性は119μmol/時間、58μmol/時間であった。3時間の光照射後、生成した水素と酸素を真空排気し、再び光照射を行うと水素と酸素の生成が見られたが、生成活性は低下した。しかし、4回目以降は、安定な水素と酸素の生成活性が見られた。この時の水素および酸素の生成活性はそれぞれ47μmol/時間、23μmol/時間となった。
(Water catalytic activity of photocatalyst)
The thus prepared ruthenium oxide-supporting cerium oxide (0.8 g) was suspended in 700 mL of distilled water, and irradiated with light through a cylindrical quartz jacket using a 450 W high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source. The result is shown in FIG.
As can be seen in FIG. 1, it was found that hydrogen and oxygen were produced in a substantially stoichiometric ratio by light irradiation. The production activity of hydrogen and oxygen at the beginning of the reaction was 119 μmol / hour and 58 μmol / hour. After 3 hours of light irradiation, the produced hydrogen and oxygen were evacuated and irradiated again to produce hydrogen and oxygen, but the production activity decreased. However, after the fourth time, stable hydrogen and oxygen generation activity was observed. At this time, the production activities of hydrogen and oxygen were 47 μmol / hour and 23 μmol / hour, respectively.
