Design and Synthesis of Metal Oxides Doped Three-Dimensional Order Macroporous Materials Based on SiO2 Matrixes and their Photocatalytic Property

Article Preview

Abstract:

Three-dimensional (3D) ordered SiO2 macroporous materials doped with metal oxides (M = Co, Fe, Ni, and Sn) were synthesized respectively, using poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) spheres as templates. The porous structure and morphology of samples has been characterized by TEM images. Further investigation of the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in the presence of H2O2, the observed photocatalytic performance of the samples was attributed to the effects of the metal oxides and porosity.
