Abstract
To address the issues of poor light responsiveness and easy recombination of photogeneratcd carriers in titanium dioxide (TiO2) during photocatalytic reactions, laser etching is employed to modify TiO2. The study investigates the resulting structural and property changes induced by laser etching, as well as the characteristics of metal-support interactions after Pt loading. The experimental results demonstrate that laser etching leads to an increase in grain size of TiO2 and the formation of a rutile phase. Additionally, it causes oxygen vacancies (Ov) and TiO2 defects, leading to a reduced band gap and enhanced visible light response of TiO2. In comparison to the defects present in the original TiO2, the defects induced by laser etching exhibit greater stability and stronger reducibility. Consequently, the metal-support interaction in defective Pt/TiO2 catalysts, prepared using defective TiO2 as the support, is more pronounced, showcasing superior electron transfer capability and carrier separation performance. These catalysts demonstrate excellent reactivity and selectivity in the photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (Co2). The findings of this study provide theoretical support for understanding the material characteristics and catalytic applications of laser-etching-induced catalyst supports and catalysts in the field of photocatalysis.
