Preparation of TiO2/AC and Investigation of its Photocatalytic Activity

Article Preview

Abstract:

TiO2/AC composite was prepared by sol-gel method. The effect of annealed temperature and loading (or doping) ratio of AC on photocatalytic performances of TiO2/AC composite was explored. The optimum preparation conditions were 400 °C (annealed temperatur) and 2% (loading (or doping) ratio of AC). The experimental results of MB removal showed that the photocatalytic ability of TiO2/AC composite prepared under optimum conditions was higher than that of TiO2, which could be attributed to strong adsorption capacity, efficient photoproduced electron-hole separation, and higher light response.
