| Povzetek: | To increase the photocatalytic performance of Niobium(V) oxide (Nb2O5) it is necessary to increase its accessible surface area. The evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) synthesis method is well suited for the synthesis of mesoporous structures, but the optimisation of synthesis parameters for Nb2O5 is still limited. In this study, we demonstrate that the synthesis parameters — duration of evaporation, airflow rate, relative humidity and water content in the reaction mixture — significantly affect the specific surface area, mesoporous structure and photocatalytic performance of isopropanol oxidation into acetone of Nb2O5. Our results show that a combination of long evaporation duration, low airflow rate, low relative humidity and moderate water content are needed to obtain material with the highest specific surface area (145 m2 g−1) and a narrow hysteresis loop in the N2 sorption isotherm. This material exhibits four times higher photocatalytic activity compared to materials synthesised under less favourable conditions (14.3–17.7 μmol h−1 compared to 3.7 μmol h−1). We also show that the ordered mesoporous structure plays an important role in improving the photocatalytic performance: the materials with a higher degree of order exhibit about two times higher activity than the materials with a lower degree of order with the same specific surface area (10.4–12.1 μmol h−1 compared to 4.9–7.9 μmol h−1). These results provide valuable insights for optimising the synthesis of mesoporous niobium oxide to increase both the specific surface area and photocatalytic performance. |
