Facile synthesis of efficient visible active C-doped TiO2 nanomaterials with high surface area for the simultaneous removal of phenol and Cr(VI)
Source abstract
Abstract
A single step synthesis of carbon doped TiO2 (anatase) nanomaterials have been reported by using combustion synthesis using ascorbic acid and citric acid fuels. X-ray diffraction studies indicated the formation of nanosized anatase titania, whereas, transmission electron microscopy confirmed the formation of nanosized TiO2 anatase. The carbon doping into TiO2 matrix was identified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, whereas, thermogravirnetric study quantified the carbon doping. Diffuse reflettance UV-vis spectra indicated the band gap of less than 3 eV, a prerequisite for the photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. The N-2 adsorption studies revealed the high surface area (upto 290 m(2)/g) of the synthesized photocatalysts. Typical photocatalytic activity data indicated that the simultaneous removal of Cr(VI) and phenol is advantageous than degradation of the individual pollutants. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
