Abstract

γ-Fe2O3/N-doped TiO2 nanotubes (N-TiO2 NTs) photocatalyst was successfully prepared by a wet chemical method. Visible light responses of this novel catalyst for decomposing methyl orange (MO) in air were also evaluated. It was found that the photocatalytic activity of γ-Fe2O3/N-TiO2 NTs was higher than those of N-doped TiO2 NTs, TiO2 NTs and P25. The characterizations including TEM, EDX and UV/Vis DRS revealed that iron oxide nanoparticles were decorated in/around N-TiO2 NTs and the spectral response was enhanced in visible region. Meanwhile, the catalyst recycled by external magnetic field showed that its photocatalytic efficiency did not decrease obviously.
