Texte intégralThe research of new eco-friendly technologies that enable the production of energy is nowadays one of the topics of greatest interest to the scientific community. The population has chosen to break free from the use of fossil fuels, and this leads to the study and development of processes for the production of clean energy starting from biomass. However, at the same time, the concern of the industry is also the disposal and treatment of wastewater. Starting from these considerations, it is advisable to develop processes that, under mild conditions, allow to obtain interesting hydrogen or methane yields. This objective could be achieved through the use advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), such as heterogeneous photocatalysis, photo-Fenton like reaction and photoelectrocatalysis. So, an interesting approach is to explore, in parallel to wastewater treatment, the possibility to produce also an energy source such as hydrogen and/or methane from the degradation of organic substance present in wastewater by AOPs. Considering the characteristic of food industries wastewaters, it is interesting to evaluate the performances of advanced oxidation processes for their treatment aimed to the valorization, through the conversion of specific substances (sugars), in order to obtain compounds with high energetic value, but also for removing substances hardly biodegradable (such as food dyes) that could be present in these industry wastewaters. In this PhD thesis it has been studied the performances of the photocatalytic process for the hydrogen production from food industries wastewaters. In particular, starting from synthetic solution containing glucose, it was evaluated the effect of the presence of noble metals on the semiconductor surface and the effect of the photoactive support (TiO2). Subsequently, providing for the application of heterogeneous photocatalysis to industrial level, the study has been directed to the formulation of a noble metal free photocatalyst with good performances in the production of hydrogen and in the degradation of the sugars present in the solutions. The final formulation was represented by LaFeO3 (a perovskite with semiconducting properties) prepared by combustion flame method. To improve the performances under visible light, LaFeO3 was modified with Ru (Ru-LaFeO3), whose cost is much lower than those of Pd, Pt or Au. Always perspective of the application of the process to industrial level, it was developed a structured photocatalyst for solving the problems related to the photocatalyst separation after the treatment. In particular it was studied the efficiency of magnetic Fe2O3 as support for Ru-LaFeO3. It was also investigated the photoelectrocatalytic process for the hydrogen production, considering the general aspects of the process, the advantages and in particular the attention has been focused on the electrodeposition process for the synthesis of Fe2O3 based photoanodes. Finally, the aim has been the application of the photocatalytic process on a real wastewater coming from the washing process of the fruit (especially cherries). It was not underestimated the presence of food dyes in these types of wastewater. For this reason it was evaluated the efficiency of photo-Fenton process in the removal of several food dyes (such as Red Allura and Tartrazine) using LaFeO3 deposited on corundum monoliths. In addition, it has been evaluated the possibility to couple the photocatalytic process (used for the valorization of the wastewater through the production of hydrogen) to the optimized photo-Fenton system to completely remove the not-biodegradable substances still present in the wastewaters recovered after the photocatalytic treatment using Ru-LaFeO3 supported on magnetic Fe2O3 particles.

Texte intégralThe occurrence of micropollutants in water is recognized as a public health concern that needs to be addressed. The challenge is both to implement water reuse and to prevent micropollutants from being disseminated in the environment, and therefore to stop their detrimental effects. These so-called emerging contaminants are anthropogenic and most of them are non-biodegradable. Therefore, conventional biological treatments of wastewater treatment plants are not appropriate. Heterogeneous photocatalysis belongs to the advanced oxidation processes developed specifically for micropollutants’ removal. This process can be operated under solar light which makes it a relevant environmental-friendly option. Solar characteristics, such as light fluctuation and intermittency, have a direct impact on the process’s treatment capacity and need to be considered for its management. In the literature, photocatalytic reactors are mainly operated in a batch mode, which implies stopping treatment during the night. The development of continuous-mode reactors requires finding solutions to deal with light intermittency. This thesis aims, in a first part, to develop a model to predict the process’s treatment capacity of a continuous-mode reactor based on heterogeneous photocatalysis. This step is essential for the scaling and control of solar processes for micropollutants’ removal. The study also focuses, in a second part, on the reliability of a technology for intermittency management. This technology is based on a composite material made of an adsorbent and a photocatalyst. The adsorbent allows to store micropollutants when light is not enough, during the night or cloudy events. The photocatalyst enables the contaminants to be degraded, both in the liquid and solid phases, in order to operate the liquid treatment as well as regenerating the adsorbent. These two studies aim to bring knowledge to the development of continuous-mode solar processes, that can operate despite solar intermittency and light fluctuations. The first step to reach the previous purposes, is to develop a model to represent the radiation field inside the photoreactor for the two studied photocatalysts with the aim of calculating the local volumetric rate of photon absorption (LVRPA). In case of photocatalysts in suspension, literature about modelling radiative transfer is rich in comparison with supported photocatalysts. Therefore, the two tested media, titanium dioxide in suspension and titanium dioxide supported on an inert macroporous foam, require specific methodologies. The second step is to determine the kinetics model, which is a function of the pollutant concentration and the LVRPA, thanks to batch-mode experiments. Local kinetics of the different pairs “pollutant/photocatalysts” (caffeine/suspension or foam) are determined. Two reactors are studied: a plug-flow one and a perfectly well-mixed one. Knowing the models of their hydrodynamics and their kinetics, the combination of all of them is validated and then applied on photo-degradation experiments of caffeine under dynamic light operating conditions, representative of real solar light. The last purpose is to test the composite material in a continuous-mode photoreactor submitted to cycles alternating light and dark periods. The ability of the composite to degrade and regenerate is evidenced

Texte intégralThe use of semiconductors for treating polluted waters and wastewaters is a promising environmental remediation technology, especially for organic pollutants. Among the several semiconductors that are also photocatalysts, TiO2 is extensively used for environmental application, due to its biological and chemical inertness, high oxidation power, low cost, and stability regarding corrosion. However, TiO2 also has some disadvantages, such as: it is only UV-excited and requires an additional unit operation (e.g. filtration or centrifugation) for reuse purposes. In order to work around those limitations, a simple procedure for synthesizing a magnetic photocatalyst (Fe3O4/TiO2), with high specific surface area and good photocatalytic activity when compared to Evonik\'s TiO2 P25, was used. The photocatalyst was synthesized in a three-step procedure: (1) α-Fe2O3 particles were obtained, by precipitation, from FeCl3.6H2O 0.01 mol L-1, which underwent a forced acid hydrolysis at 100°C for 48 h; (2) α-Fe2O3/TiO2 particles were obtained, by heterocoagulation, of Ti(IV) oxide species on the α-Fe2O3, followed by calcination at 500°C for 2 h; and (3) The core/shell photocatalyst particles were obtained by calcination the α-Fe2O3/TiO2 particles at 400°C for 1 h under reducing atmosphere (H2). The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized material was assessed by the color removal of an Acid Blue 9 (C.I. 42090) dye solution. pH and catalyst dosage effects were estimated by a 22 factorial design. Fe3O4/TiO2 core/shell particles with specific surface area of 202 m2 g-1were obtained. They were easily separated from the reaction medium, in approximately 2 min, with the aid of a magnet. The photocatalyst absorbed radiation throughout the visible spectrum. The greatest color removal (54%) was achieved with pH 3.0, 1.0 g L-1 of photocatalyst, and 2 h of reaction.

Texte intégralThe application of photocatalysis in organic synthesis has known a great growth over the past decade. However, the majority of photocatalysts currently used are organometallic compounds which, despite remarkable efficiencies, are toxic andexpensive. The work presented in this manuscript is a part of an effort that has intensified in recent years to find new efficient, metal-free photoredox catalysis platforms. Two families of nitrogenous aromatic compounds were studied there : The s-tetrazines and the heptazines. They are fluorescent molecules which are reversibly reduced at a high reduction potential in the excited state.While the studies on s-tetrazines, whether on their synthesis, their physicochemical properties, or their structure-activity relationship are quite complete, those on heptazines are not. And this is likely because of rather delicate and dangerous overall synthesis procedures.The first part of this manuscript is therefore devoted to s -tetrazines. In particular, their photooxidizing capacity has been evaluated using several reaction models which had been so far been used for organometallic compounds.The second part concerns the heptazines and begins with the establishment of a new efficient and less dangerous synthetic route. Different heptazines have been synthesized, and followed by a systematic evaluation of their physicochemicalproperties. A few photoredox reactions have been carried out in the presence of heptazines in order to gain an overview of their photoredox activity

Texte intégralThe synthesis of mixed oxide particles in aqueous solution is often difficult to control because of the potentially different reactivity of coprecipitating species. The aim of the thesis is to try to understand and control the synthesis in the case of mixed titanium oxide particles and tin system, chosen because of the existence of a solid solution over the entire range composition and the possibility of using a simpler homogeneous precipitation to model the reactant mixture. The syntheses are carried out by thermal hydrolysis of acidic solutions with microwave heating, providing particles directly crystallized with reduced reaction times. The results of the synthesis, namely the yield and composition of the solid, are modeled by a calculation of the supersaturation requiring knowledge of the speciation of the prepared solutions. This is calculated by determining the temperature of thermal hydrolysis in solution equilibrium constants from bibliographic data and low-temperature solubility measurements on the one hand and on the other hand, modeling of the temperature dependence of the thermodynamic. Finally, Anatase-Rutile nanocomposites were obtained by coprecipitation of titanium with small amounts of tin and the photocatalytic properties of these nanoparticles were tested

Texte intégralThis work addresses the development of dye-sensitized TiO2 and SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) for application in photocatalysis and photodynamic therapy (PDT). The NPs were either coated with a polysiloxane shell or modified by aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) alone. Monocarboxylic tetraphenyl porphyrin (P1-COOH) or chlorin e6 (Ce6) PSs were coupled to the NPs by amide bond. In photocatalysis, The APTES-modified sensitized NPs, particularly TiO2-APTES-Ce6, exhibit a superior activity towards the degradation of methylene blue and methyl orange over the core-shell systems under solar and visible light. For PDT, in vitro tests were conducted on the glioblastoma cell line U87 at different NPs’ concentrations illuminated at 652 nm. TiO2-APTES-Ce6 revealed a good phototoxicity as the cell viability decreased by 89% after illumination. The cellular uptake and localization of those NPs and their silica analogues were explored. The ROS involved in photocatalysis and PDT were investigated

Texte intégralThis thesis deals with the elaboration and performance of a specific type of ultrafiltration membrane with anti-fouling and photo-induced properties, the PVDF-TiO2 composite membrane. The membrane was fabricated via the nonsolvent-induced phase separation method by incorporating titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles into the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer matrix. The TiO2 nanoparticles played a significant role in facilitating the membrane formation process and improving the composite membrane properties compared to the neat PVDF membrane. It was demonstrated that, by changing the membrane preparation temperature, the membrane structure could be affected dramatically, notably the morphological dominance of finger-like macrovoids at lower temperatures and their diminution in both size and number when temperature increased. Other membrane properties also saw systematic transitions with changes in formation temperature, as characterized by permeability, porosity, mechanical strength, crystallinity, and thermal properties. In terms of performance, the PVDF-TiO2 membrane exhibited superior permeate flux compared to the neat PVDF membrane. More importantly, when being operated in photo-filtration mode (i.e. filtration with continuous ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on the membrane), the pure water flux of PVDF-TiO2 membrane could be further increased, thanks to the enhanced hydrophilicity of the membrane, which comes from the photo-induced hydrophilicity phenomenon of TiO2. Preliminary estimations suggest that photo-filtration is a cost-effective method, as the benefit from enhanced water output outweighs the extra energy demand for UV irradiation. Furthermore, the efficiency of photo-filtration was evaluated with synthetic feed solutions containing inorganic and organic contents representative in surface water. It was identified that, while most of the common inorganic ions in drinking water had no effects on photo-filtration efficiency, the coexistence of Cu2+ and HCO3- in the feed led to severe inorganic fouling and inhibited the photo-induced hydrophilicity phenomenon. Besides, the PVDF-TiO2 membrane also showed its stronger flux performance and photocatalytic activity during photo-filtration of solutions containing organic foulants like humic acids or sodium alginate. In conclusion, the PVDF-TiO2 composite membrane exhibited much improved properties and performance compared to the neat PVDF membrane, and even stronger performance when operated in photo-filtration mode. Thus, it is a promising candidate to be used in membrane-based applications for water treatment

Texte intégralTitanium dioxide is the most widely used photocatalyst due to its amazing properties. However, TiO2 is activated by UV radiation which represent about 4-5 % of solar light. One aim of this work is to shift the adsorption of TiO2 to the visible range while maintaining photoactivity under UV. Therefore N-doped and gold modified TiO2 nanoparticles have been synthesized in one step by laser pyrolysis. The materials have been characterized; their photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of carboxylic acids (C1-C4) under both UV and Visible irradiation. When dealing with the decomposition of formic acid under UV light, all samples exhibit a higher activity compared to commercial P25. Modification with Au increases the reaction rate by enhancing charge separation, while N-doped sample are less efficient due to recombination centers induced by Nitrogen. These results were correlated to the dynamic of electron/hole pairs studied by TRMC (Time Resolved Microwave Conductivity). Moreover, the combination of Au and N showed an efficiency similar to commercial P25 under UV irradiation associated to photoactivity in the visible range. In the case of C2-C4 acids, photocatalytic performances of all photocatalysts are similar to commercial P25 under UV, but very weak under visible light. Degradation mechanisms were investigated by ESR (Electron Spin Resonance)

Texte intégralThis experimental PhD work has been dedicated to the synthesis, by wet chemistry methods, and characterization of nanoparticles based on multiferroic BiFeO3, with the aim of using them for photocatalytic applications. This material presents a bandgap of 2.6eV, which allows the charge carrier photoexcitation in the visible range, making BiFeO3 a very interesting system for photoinduced processes. This thesis has been particularly focused on characterizing the properties of BiFeO3 nanoparticles in view of understanding the relationship of their properties on their potential use for photocatalytic applications. First of all, the topic of the size effect on the structural properties, phase transitions, and physics and chemistry of the particles has been developed, keeping as first aim to separate the properties related to the surface from those arising from the bulk/core of the particle. To do so, the mastering and optimization of the synthesis processes of BiFeO3 particles at the nano and microscale were needed, to finally obtain different size compounds with high crystalline quality. Despite the size reduction of the particles, we notice that, thanks to the control of the synthesis process, our BiFeO3 nanoparticles present properties very close to those of the bulk BiFeO3 material, keeping the rhombohedral structure R3c with weak strain effects. In order to indirectly tune the optical properties exploiting the doping, we have succeeded in realizing a homogenous La3+ doping, and a partial Ca2+ doping, on the Bi3+ site. The optical properties of the nanoparticles and their use on the first photocatalytic experiments for degrading rhodamine B dye have shown the complexity of the physics and chemistry phenomena at their surface and of the light-particle processes. After analyzing optical absorbance data as a function of the particle size, we observe that the deduced bandgap for different particles is not the main parameter directing the photocatalytic performances. Other factors have been identified to be at the origin of the localization of the photoexcited charges, as the surface states linked to the skin layer of the nanoparticles, depicting structural defects, a reduction of the oxidation state of Fe3+ towards Fe2+ and the stabilization of other adsorbates, such as FeOOH; all these parameters may contribute to the change on the photocatalytic performances. The photocatalytic results are very encouraging, motivating to continue the study of BiFeO3 based nanoparticles, though depicting a 50% rhodamine B degradation after 4h of photocatalytic reaction using some of the present nanoparticles

Texte intégralThe first part of this work is dedicated to the evaluation of the photocatalytic efficiency of semiconductors ZnO, TiO2 P25, and two other titanium dioxides (anatase 100%). The comparison was based on determining the physical properties of photocatalysts, mainly: the particle diameter, crystallite size, crystallographic structure, electronic properties, chemical composition and the adsorption capacity. The photocatalytic efficiency was tested with phenol as target molecule. While comparable photocatalytic activity was found with ZnO and TiO2 P25, the lowest resistivity was observed with TiO2 P25, which means that a better electronic circulation occurs in this last photocatalyst compared to ZnO, but also that there is another fundamental parameter governing the reactivity. Under the same crystallographic form, 100% anatase, the photoreactivity of TiO2 is slightly higher with the photocatalyst having the lowest grain's diameter. The highest photoreactivity of TiO2 P25 can be explained by the partition anatase/rutile (80/20%), a higher electronic circulation and by the fact that TiO2 P25 is formed from a single crystallite, where any grains are considered as photoactive. Second part concerns the photocatalytic degradation of dye Cibacron Green (RG12) used by textile industry, in aqueous suspension in the presence of titanium dioxide TiO2 P25. Discoloration of the suspension was effective after 90min treatment with a partial mineralization 60% of the initial dye (10-40 mgL-1). To determine the general mechanism of the photocatalytic process, especially if the surface of the material is involved or not, thermodynamic and kinetic investigations were investiagted on adsorption. Chemisorption was found to be the majority endothermic spontaneous process occurring on the surface of the photocatalyst. Moreover, the adsorption kinetics follows a pseudo-second order law with a intraparticle diffusion mechanism which was observed at higher concentrations (80-120 mgL-1) highlighting the mesopores of TiO2. As the Langmuir-Hinshelwood, Ollis and Direct –Indirect models were enable to fully describe our experimental results, a new model involving a competitive adsorption of species on the surface of the photocatalyst was developed. Dye molecules, byproducts of degradation, water molecules, hydroxide ions and the oxygen present in solution are assumed to compete with respect to the same sites of adsorption at the TiO2 surface. The model showed that the inverse of the constant of the dye photocatalytic degradation depended on a second degree polynomial of the initial concentration of initial dye. Binding experiments of TiO2 on glass plates by the method PMTP were carried out in order to work with supported TiO2 in a dedicated reactor having a recirculation of 0.5 L and where optimum operating conditions were determined. Characterization of deposits by SEM and XRD showed that they were homogeneous with a density of 0.26 mg TiO2/cm². Performances of the supported TiO2 were compared to the conventional photocatalytic process in aqueous suspension by studying the discoloration of the previous dye Cibacron green. The competitive adsorption model elaborated well described experimental results. Final examination was done by coupling photocatalysis and sonolysis for the degradation of Cibacron Green. The determination of the active species generated by each technique was performed. A synergy was observed under solar irradiation of TiO2 in the presence of 500 kHz ultrasound which could provide from an extensive mass transfer of the dye on the photocatalyst induced by ultrasounds

Texte intégralPolyoxometalates-porphyrin hybrid films were synthesized based on covalent or electrostatic interactions. Copolymeric polyoxometalate–porphyrin films were obtained by the electro-oxidation of zinc octaethylporphyrin (ZnOEP) or 5,15-ditolyl porphyrin (H2T2P) in the presence of a different type of polyoxometalates (POMs) bearing two pyridyl groups (py-POM-py). Three type of py-POM-py have been used: i) a tris-alkoxo functionalized Lindqvist polyoxovanadate, ii) an organosilyl functionalized Keggin-type [PW11Si2O40C26H16N2]3- and Dawson-type [P2W17Si2O62C26H16N2]6-, and iii) a bis-pyridine-substituted organo-polyoxometallic bricks using [P2W15V3O62]9− diolamide-grafting method with various geometries of the pendant group. All are applied for photocurrent generation and photocatalytical recovery of metals (Ag and Pt). Electrostatic POM-porphyrin films were also prepared by incorporated Preyssler type polyanion [NaP5W30O110]14- onto the electropolymerized polycationic porphyrin (poly-ZnOEP) with viologen or bis-viologen as spacers. [NaP5W30O110]14- as an efficient electron shuttle between the excited ZnOEP and viologen (or bis-viologen) which effectively retarded the fast charge pair recombination and enhanced the photocurrent magnitude. Later, we introduced nanoparticles POM@MNPs to a bis-porphyrin copolymer through metathesis reaction to further improve the efficiency of the photocurrent generation in which the localized surface plasmon resonance that occurs at the surface of silver nanoparticles has substantially enhanced the electronic excitation of surface-anchored porphyrin

Texte intégralThe pollution is definitely a major issue for environmental protection and sustainable development. Membrane technologies and advanced oxidation processes play more and more a key-role in the treatment of water both for the production of drinking water and for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewaters. Heterogeneous photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation process for generating highly oxidizing species such as OH• in the presence of water and dioxygen, under irradiation of some semiconducting solids like titania (TiO2). The targeted objective for this PhD work is the development of efficient photocatalytic filters to be implemented in hybrid processes coupling separation and photodegradation. The innovative route investigated for preparing such photocatalytic filters is based on the use of a bio-based polymer, i.e. the cellulose, both as reactant (oxygen source) and mechanical support for the growth of titania nanoparticles from titanium tetrachloride. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to a literature review mainly focused on membrane and hybrid processes, on titanium dioxide and its photocatalytic properties and on the chemical, structural, microstructural and thermal behaviour of cellulose. After a description of the experimental procedures, the second part of this manuscript is first dedicated to the presentation and the discussion of the experimental results on the preparation and characterization of pure titania powders and of TiO2-carbon composite powders. The effect of titania doping by different transition metals in order to improve its functional properties is then examined. Simplification of the synthesis process by removing any is described in the next chapter. From the previously developed know-how on synthesis and photocatalytic performance, the last chapter is devoted to preliminary work on the preparation of photocatalytic filters and on the assessment of their functional properties

Texte intégralFor the last decades the development of sustainable chemistry became a priority for our society. In this context, biocatalysis appears to be an interesting solution, through the use of natural, modified or artificial enzymes consisting of a synthetic catalyst grafted into a protein.In this project, we aim to develop bio-hybrid photocatalysts combining a photosensitizer (RuPhot) and a catalyst (RuCat) within a protein crystal for heterogeneous asymmetric oxidation photocatalysis of organic substrates using water as the only source of oxygen atoms. The selected protein is the oligomerization domain of the Leafy protein of Ginkgo biloba. This protein is able to generate porous structures by self-assembly. Inside the tubes, a peptide chain of about 30 amino acids per monomer is present and it will serve as grafting platform. Three crystalline hybrid systems were obtained with RuPhot and RuCat alone as well as a combination of the two. The characterization was carried out on the RuCat hybrid providing interesting information on the kinetics and selectivity of grafting as well as on a modification of the catalyst during grafting. The studies carried out on the RuPhot hybrids have shown that it was possible, as planned, to graft several chromophores per protein and thus benefit from an antenna effect for maximum efficiency. Catalytic studies for the oxidation of sulphides and alkenes are underway.In a completely different field, 16% of this thesis was devoted to a doctoral consulting contract with the company NMRBio. The objective was to develop new pathways for the synthesis of stable isotope-labelled compounds in order to perform structural and dynamic NMR studies in proteins

Texte intégralThe photodegradation of the herbicide phenylurea by using a natural iron oxide (NIO) α-Fe2O3 in aqueous solution at acidic pH has been undertaken. The NIO was characterized by the Raman spectroscopy method. The degradation pathways and the formation of by-products were studied. A high-pressure mercury lamp and sunlight were employed as light source. Fenuron photodegradation using NIO with oxalic acid followed the pseudo-first order kinetics, the optimal experimental conditions were [oxalic acid]0 = 10−3 M and [NIO] = 0.1 g L−1 at pH 3. NIO/oxalic acid/UV system led to a low fenuron half-life (32 min). The results were even better when solar light is used (15 min). The effect of four carboxylic acids; oxalic, citric, tartaric and malic acids on the degradation efficiency was studied. Oxalic acid was the most effective carboxylic acid used on the fenuron photodegradation with NIO at pH 3. The analytical study showed many aromatic intermediates, short-chain carboxylic acids and inorganic ion.The role of dissolved oxygen (DO) in degradation and mineralization of fenuron in the photo-Fenton-like system by using the NIO was also studied; the NIO was used as an iron source. The DO effect has been elucidated by carrying out experiments with and without oxygen, it has been found that the degradation and mineralization rate were strongly affected by change in DO concentration. In absence of oxygen, there is no photo-Fenton-like because of the lack of hydrogen peroxide, the degradation was caused only by the photo-reduction of Fe(III) complex in this case. Oxygenation improved the hydrogen peroxide production under irradiation. The mass balance of the reactive species showed that dissolved oxygen was the main reactive consumed during the process. The toxicity decrease with irradiation time proves that the intermediates generated during photo-oxidation by the photo-Fenton-like system by using a NIO are less toxic than fenuron

Texte intégralThe development of a society based on solar energy requires a way to store it. One possibility consists in water splitting that needs a material to collect and transform the energy contained in light beam in an electric charges movement. Among all possibility, we hereby explore the applicability of nanometers-sized semiconductor rods composed of a cadmium selenide core and a cadmium sulfide shell. Based on methods already developed and a new functionalization methodology, the obtained particles exhibit a high monodispersity and can be dispersed in water, a useful property for the final purpose. Their photo-electrochemical properties have been explored by electrochemical microscopy that allowed to determine whether there is charge transfer between mediators in solution and quantum rods deposited as substrate and its direction. It reveals that under light irradiation and in all cases herein experimented, they transfer electrons to the mediators, making them more reductive than para-benzoquinone. This transfer is fastened when the ratio between the length and the diameter of the rods increased until an optimum, but also when the width of the organic isolating shell decreases, as revealed by time-resolved reduction of resazurin, a colored rédox molecular probe. These charge transfer have been used to functionalize particles by reduction of a disulfide bridge or a gold salt. Finally, strategies have been explored to make these quantum rods able to photosensibilized water reduction through synthesis of a cobaloxime, a molecular catalyst, or metal salt reduction as cobalt and nickel known to exhibit catalytic activity

Texte intégralIndoor Air Quality (IAQ) has become of particular concern from an environmental and health and safety point of view. It is now proven that the presence of microorganisms in indoor air can have hazardous consequences on human health. HVAC systems, when poorly maintained, can themselves become source of bioaerosols when their filters are contaminated. To tackle this issue, photocatalytic filters have been developed and tested within HVAC systems. The aim of this PhD thesis is to look at the behaviour of microorganisms aerosolized through photocatalytic filters. The first step consisted of analysing the photochemistry and photocatalysis degradation mechanisms of a model bacterium, Escherichia coli (E. coli), in suspension in water under UV-A or UV-C radiation. These two treatments were proven to be more efficient under UV-C radiation and led to oxidative damages to outer membrane and nucleic acids. The measurement of chemical by-products allowed us to conclude that UV-C photocatalysis is more effective in damaging bacteria in an irreversible manner. The second step focused on the analysis of the inactivation of Aspergillus niger spores and E. coli bacteria within Ahlstrom filters. Our results confirm the benefits of using photocatalytic filters in HVAC systems instead of non-photocatalytic filters. The use of high efficiency filters to optimise the contact between the microorganisms and the titanium dioxide deposit, allows an increase in the damaging efficiency of the photocatalytic process

Texte intégralThis Thesis reports three complimentary modes of activation for the generation of phosphorus based radicals, which have been employed for the synthesis of organophosphorus compounds.We have first described a photocatalytic generation phosphinoyl radicals by using the acridinium salt, 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium perchlorate known as Fukuzumi’ catalyst, as a photocatalyst and diphenyliodonium triflate as an external photooxidant. This purely organic system allowed us to achieve the first metal–free hydrophosphinylation of alkenes. Several mechanistic investigations, such as Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), Laser Flash Photolysis, fluorescence quenching and quantum yields measurements have been employed to understand factors governing this photoreaction.In the subsequent chapter, the formation of Electron–Donor–Acceptor complexes (EDA) between secondary phosphine oxides and the diphenyliodonium ion has been used to generate phosphinoyl radical under blue irradiation. A combined experimental and theoretical investigations have been used to elucidate the formation of EDA complexes. This strategy has then been employed to describe hydrophosphinylation of alkenes.The last chapter reports a metal–free visible light mild method for the synthesis of phosphorylated oxindoles, which are potentially active pharmaceutical compounds. Scope and limitations of this approach have been discussed along with preliminary mechanistic investigations

Texte intégralGraphitic carbon nitride (gCN) is an organic semi-conductor which has lately attracted a lot of attention when its photocatalytic properties were highlighted for water splitting. It has been recently shown to be based on the heptazine core, but its three-dimensional structure remains elusive. This is first due to its poor solubility which prevents the use of classical characterization techniques, and second to the fact that changes in synthesis experimental conditions (precursors, temperature…) yield different materials. The synthesis of tailored and well-defined molecular models would therefore certainly be of great interest to better understand the structure-properties relationship of this material. This is the aim of the work presented in this manuscript. The reactivity of cyameluryl chloride, a monomeric precursor, has been studied, and a protocol for a quantitative selective substitution by aliphatic secondary amines has been determined. The use of deprotonation by a strong base or thermal treatment yielded two dimers and one linear trimer. The oligomers have been characterized by several technique (X-ray diffraction, NMR, IR, UV-vis absorption, emission, electrochemistry), and the obtained data were in close agreement to the ones observed in DFT. As a rule of thumb, a decrease of the electronic transition energies is observed for an increasing chain length. The application of extrapolation methods to the experimental data suggests that oligomers are relevant molecular models for gCN

Texte intégralThe photocatalysis is based on the excitation of semiconductor by photons with an energy superior or equal to the gap, generating electron-hole pairs. These are very reactive and able to react at the interface, involving for exemple the total oxidation of an organic compound. This method can be used on wastewater to eliminate the organic pollutants. With a view to use the sun as a light source this method may become an economical and ecological way for the water treatment. Light interaction between light and semiconductor and the charge-carrier dynamics are fundamental processes for photocatalysis and it is necessary to understand them in order to manage with this process and develop more efficient materials. The Time Resolved Microwave Conductivity (TRMC) is a method based on the reflexion of microwaves on an excited semiconductor which is linked to the number of photo-generated charge-carriers. This method allows us to probe in real time the charge-carrier dynamics in semiconductor. This work is included in the ANR Photonorm project. It consists in a TRMC study on titanium dioxyde TiO2 used for water depollution by photocatalysis. One part of this study consists in the characterization of the opto-electronic properties of materials for which the charge-carrier dynamics will be compared with the photocatalytic activity. The beneficial effect of nanoparticles deposition of gold, silver or gold-copper bimetallics on commercial TiO2 will be linked to the observation of free electrons observed by TRMC . The beneficial effect on photocatalysis in visible light was linked to an electron injection in TiO2 by bismuth nanoparticles. The second part of this work consists in a more fundamental study of charge-carrier dynamics on commercial or synthetized for the Photonorm project. I will be shown the importance of excitation wavelength and intensities on charge carrier generation. The importance of surface effect and environment will be emphasized by several ways. The first one just consist in surface treatment which can have a major importance on charge-carrier dynamics and photocatalysis, probably in connection with the presence or not of impurities on the surface. The second way consists in impregnating TiO2 by organic dyes which show a strong visible light absorption. The TRMC measurements highlight the interaction between the adsorbed molecules and the semiconducteur, including the electron injection from the excited dye to the TiO2 but also an increased recombination effect. The third method consist in modified the working atmosphere in TRMC. The major role of oxygen is so observed on charge-carrier dynamics, with an effect of electron capture, involving in photocatalytic mechanism.Finally TRMC proves to be a convenient method for studying charge-carrier dynamics in semiconductors, which allow a better understanding of fundamental processes bound to photocatalysis

Texte intégralCurrently, systems for water treatment have not been designed to eliminate drug substances such as hormones (estrogen). These molecules are thus discharged into the environment and contaminate rivers. The 17 α-ethinylestradiol has been chosen as model molecule to illustrate the presence of an endocrine disrupter in water waste. This molecule presents a real risk to wildlife (feminization of male fish, reduced reproduction ...). The objective of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of photocatalysis and ozonation to remove Ethinylestradiol waters. The oxidation process using ozone was applied initially in concentrated solutions of ethinylestradiol (EE2 = 10 mg / L) prepared in ultrapure water buffered to better understand the mechanisms of elimination of this compound and evaluate the effectiveness in terms of conversion rate of EE2 and mineralization of the substrate. Experiments have shown that ozone is a very effective oxidant for oxidation of ethinylestradiol. Oxidation occurs mainly by direct reaction of ozone on the molecule while EE2 mineralization involves the conversion of ozone into hydroxyl radicals which will then react on the structure of the saturated organic molecule. The study of ozonation of EE2 solutions at different concentrations has established a relationship between the initial concentration of pollutant in the water and the dose of ozone introduced to eliminate this compound at a pH near neutrality. This relationship was used to estimate the dose of ozone applied to water contaminated with EE2 at a concentration close to that found in wastewater and compared to that obtained water from the treatment plant Bourget du Lac. In the second part of our work, we studied the advanced oxidation process "Photocatalysis". The adsorption and photodegradation of EE2 were performed on the surface of TiO2 Degussa P25 "and under UV radiation (λ = 365 nm). The results were modeled using the model of Langmuir and Langmuir Hinshelwood respectively. These models allowed us to determine for different masses of TiO2 quantities of EE2 adsorbed on the surface of TiO2 and the constants of adsorption in the dark under UV light, and the rate constants. These values were compared to those obtained under the same conditions but on a different type of catalyst TiO2 PC500. The measurement of particle size of TiO2 shows the formation of agglomerates increasingly important function of the mass of catalyst TiO2 PC500 and it allowed us to explain the values of the constants of adsorption and kinetic results

Texte intégralThe aim of the thesis is to study the influence of microstructure of ZnO/TiO2 composites on their properties in photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, and in photoassisted water oxidation. To realize such study we chose the design based on ZnO nanorods supported on ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)-coated glass electrode. The ZnO nanorods were then covered with a layer of TiO2 under different conditions. The composition and microstructure of the obtained ZnO(core)/TiO2(shell) composites were modified in the aim to elucidate how these parameters influence their photocatalytic activity. The results of studies lead to elaboration of two most distinctive variants of sol-gel procedure that allow to deposit TiO2 layers of controlled thicknesses and different morphology (rugged or compact). The composite containing the rugged TiO2 layer was shown to possess significantly higher activity in MB degradation and in photoassisted H2O oxidation under 400 nm. This improved photoactivity was attributed to a higher porosity and better accessibility of ZnO/TiO2 interface region through the rugged TiO2 layer by the reagents. The effort was also made to enhance the visible light activity of the composites. To this aim the composites consisting of ITO-supported ZnO nanorods covered with nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide and decorated with Au nanoparticles. It was found that even a low Au loading (0.37% at.) resulted in 60% enhancement of photocatalytic decolorization of MB under visible light with respect to the Au-free sample owing to plasmonic effects. A simultaneous N-doping and Au decoration allowed also to multiply by three the photocurrent in photoassited water oxidation
