Influences of α-MnO2, β-MnO2, and δ-MnO2 on the photocatalytic activity of Degussa P-25 TiO2 have been investigated through the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange. The TiO2 photocatalyst, before and after being contaminated by MnO2, was characterized by UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), photoluminescence (PL), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that photocatalytic activity of TiO2 could be inhibited significantly or completely deactivated due to the presence of even a small amount of MnO2 particles. It was found that the poisoning effect varied with the crystal phases of MnO2 and the effect was in the order δ-MnO2 >α-MnO2 >β-MnO2. The poisoning effect was attributed to the formation of heterojunctions between MnO2 and TiO2 particles. The heterojunctions changed the chemical state of Ti4+ and O2 sites in the crystalline phase of TiO2. MnO2 in contact with TiO2 particles also broadens the band-gap of TiO2, which decreases UV absorption of TiO2. It can also create some deep impurity energy levels serving as photoelec-tron-photohole recombination center, which accelerates the electron-hole recombination.
