Preparation of TiO₂/ACF in Caprolactam Tetrabutyl Ammonium Bromide Ionic Liquid

Abstract:

To explore environmentally benign method for preparing TiO₂, composite photocatalysts TiO₂ immobilized on activated carbon fibers (TiO₂/ACF) were prepared in caprolactam tetrabutyl ammonium bromide ionic liquid (CPL-TBAB ILs). The TiO₂/ACF composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The effects of different preparation condition were discussed by degradation of methyl orange (MO). The results showed that nanoTiO₂ particles of mixed grain phase were well deposited on the activated carbon fiber surface. 96% of MO was removed under optimal preparation conditions.
