TiO₂ Nanotube Deposited in the Pores of Expanded Graphite by Microwave Irradiation

Abstract:

We prepared a composite photocatalyst of Stick TiO₂ nanorod loaded on expanded graphite(EG).The growth of TiO₂ in the pores of EG by sol–gel method under normal temperature and pressure was investigated. Results sugest that pores of the EG which can load catalyst particles (TiO₂ nanotube) is the physical base. Stick TiO₂ nanorod can be well loaded on EG to form EG/TiO₂ composite photocatalyst. So a unique process trying to load TiO₂ photocatalyst on EG to EG/TiO₂ composite photocatalyst was developed by us.
