Synthesis and Photocatalytic Activity of Rod-Shaped Mesoporous TiO2 Using Poly (ethylene glycol) as Templates

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rod-shaped TiO2 was synthesized via homogeneous precipitation by using PEG and urea as the structure directing agent and precipitation agent, respectively. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, TEM, and FESEM. The XRD patterns of the samples indicated that the crystalline phase was anatase. TEM and FESEM images revealed the morphology of prepared TiO2 samples were rod-shaped, and densely packed with plenty of spherical-shaped units. RTS3 exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity for degradation of papermaking wastewater under UV light irradiation. CODCr percent degradation was about 75% under UV light irradiation in 12 h for RTS3.
