Background technology
The skin effect of nano-oxide, quantum size effect and macro quanta tunnel effect have caused their physics, atom, the molecule that chemical characteristic both had been different from microcosmic, are different from body phase material again.Nano-oxide often demonstrates some special optics, electricity and magnetic performance.Simultaneously, the specific area of nano material is quite big, has very high chemism.Thereby nano material has a wide range of applications at aspects such as catalysis, fine ceramics, magnetic material, fluorescent material, air-sensitive/moisture sensor and infrared absorbing materials.As nano SnO
2The electric conductivity of surf zone is very responsive to atmosphere of living in, and it interacts by surface absorption and reducing gas, causes that surperficial free electron density changes, thereby becomes the gas sensor that people receive much attention.Nano-TiO for another example
2When the illumination that is subjected to being equal to or greater than its band-gap energy is penetrated, can produce electronics and hole on its surface.Photohole has very strong oxidability, can make most oxidation operations, and electron acceptor can be reduced by the electronics of accepting the surface.Nano-TiO
2This specific character and bigger skin effect thereof make it become the photochemical catalyst of tool potentiality.Though nano-oxide has many special nature and wide application prospect, often also exist the some shortcomings of self.As TiO
2Electronics and hole take place easily compoundly, photocatalysis efficiency is low; Its greater band gap can only be in ultra-violet (UV) band display light chemism, and is very low to solar energy utilization rate.An important means optimizing the nano-oxide performance is exactly that a certain amount of foreign ion is incorporated in their lattice.When foreign ion replaces the atom on the dot matrix case or enters interstitial site, can in crystal, form lattice defect, in the forbidden band of crystal, cause some local energy level; Simultaneously, the introducing of impurity also can influence the degree of crystallinity of crystal, has improved their chemism.Thereby, in nano-oxide, mix, improve their performance such as optics, electricity, catalysis sometimes significantly.
In recent years, people are in the doping research of nano-oxide, and most cations that adopt especially concentrate on transition metal ions, rare earth ion as adulterant.Comparatively speaking, nonmetalloid will lack the doping research of nano-oxide.At present, people mainly adopt B, N, C, F, S etc. to the nonmetal doping of nano-oxide.Wherein boron mixes and realizes in a plurality of nano oxidized objects systems.As, the chemistry Zhao Jincai of institute professor seminar of the Chinese Academy of Sciences adopts sol-gal process to synthesize TiO
2-xB
x, its absorption spectrum moves to the visible light direction significantly, thereby this material can effectively utilize solar energy; Egyptian scientist Seif A.Nasser employing high temperature sputtering method has synthesized mixes the B nano SnO
2Film is owing to mixing of B, at SnO
2Lattice in form the oxygen room, and then produce a certain amount of " quasi-free electron ", improved SnO
2Carrier concentration, thereby improve its electric conductivity significantly.
Boron has the oxytropism of height.Generally speaking, in B doped with nanometer oxide lattice, B may occupy the case of original metal ion, also may enter in the gap of lattice; Under some specific conditions (as inert atmosphere, high temperature), B also can replace oxygen atom.B mixes the Lewis acidic site and the intensity that can increase on the one hand oxide surface, can form impurity substitutional defect, interstitial defect, vacancy defect etc. on the one hand in crystal.The change on these surfaces and the defective in the crystal have determined many physical and chemical performances of material just.
At present, the preparation method of nonmetal doping nano-oxide mainly contains sputtering method, burning infiltration method, high temperature solid-state method, sol-gal process etc.Mainly adopt sol-gal process and sputtering method to synthesize and mix the B nano-oxide, and at present most of research mainly concentrate on and mix the B nano-TiO
2Study on the synthesis.There are following shortcoming in sol-gal process and sputtering method: the step that relates in building-up process is more; Need higher temperature, energy consumption is bigger; The factor that influence is synthesized is more, makes that the reappearance of product is relatively poor; The synthetic method versatility is relatively poor, is difficult to realize TiO

In recent years, some scientific research personnel adopt a kind of method-boric acid flux growth metrhod of similar water thermal synthesis both at home and abroad, many novel borate crystals have been synthesized, as the transition metal of alkali metal, alkaline-earth metal and divalence, trivalent, rare earth multi-borate etc., but still nobody is applied to the synthetic of B doping oxide with this method.Applicant has successfully been explored the boric acid flux growth metrhod that can synthesize multiple boron-doped nanometer oxide on the basis of deeply experiment.This method is not only easy and simple to handle, building-up process is easy to control, and it is lower to consume energy, and the product reappearance is better.Simultaneously, Xiang Guan experimental work proves that also the prepared B oxide of mixing is showing excellent performance aspect photocatalysis and the catalytic oxidation.

By the foregoing description as can be known, in the synthetic boron-doped nanometer oxide process of boric acid flux growth metrhod, fusion boric acid is reaction medium, is again the source of boron in the doped with nanometer oxide simultaneously.The metal ion that fusion boric acid is very easily lower with valence state, radius is bigger, as the transition metal of alkali metal, alkaline-earth metal and divalence, trivalent, rare earth metal plasma in conjunction with forming multi-borate.And the metal ion very high for valence state, that radius is less is (as Mo
6+, V
5+, Sb
5+Deng), they can not with the boric acid combination, the one because positive and negative charge is very concentrated in the multi-borate system of these ions, make such system extremely unstable; The 2nd, even because these ions acutely hydrolysis in the presence of low amounts of water (fusion boric acid system is because there is certain water partial pressure in the dehydration of boric acid).From the thermodynamics angle, valence state is not that high especially, radius is not especially little Ti
4+, Sn
4+, Sb
3+, Zr
4+There are the certain reaction tendency in plasma and fusion boric acid.But the hydrolysis of these ions tendency is bigger, and in fusion acid reaction system, the water effect that they are main and boric acid is sloughed forms oxide.Because water partial pressure is less in the fusion boric acid system, hydrolytic process is not too violent, so just allows Ti
4+, Sn
4+, Sb
3+, Zr
4+Plasma combines with a spot of borate, and its result has formed to mix the B nano-oxide.For Cr
3+, Ce
3+, Zn
2+Plasma then need add a certain amount of alkali in system, avoid boratory formation.Because the viscosity of fusion boric acid is bigger, the chance of the collision combination between the formed oxide particle of hydrolysis is less, so the particle diameter of the nano-oxide that the boric acid flux growth metrhod obtains is generally all less.
The present invention has utilized less water partial pressure of faint binding ability, the fusion boric acid system of fusion boric acid and some ion and the suitable viscosity of fusion boric acid, synthetic boron-doped nanometer oxide.Simultaneously, also can carry out suitable adjusting, for example add a spot of water, acid or alkali, synthetic multiple boron-doped nanometer oxide (M fusion boric acid system
xO
y: B, M can be transition metal, rare earth metal etc.).Should synthetic thinking both avoid a large amount of boratory formation, stop the thorough hydrolysis of metal ion again, and make the boron element snugly enter into the lattice of oxide as doped chemical.
