Effect of silica on the microstructure and photocatalytic properties of titania
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A series of TiO 2 /SiO 2 composite with different Ti/Si ratios were prepared by sol–gel technique. The samples were characterized by different analytical techniques such as XRD, FT-IR, BET and XPS. Grain size of anatase TiO 2 calculated using Scherrer's formula was found to be in the range of 2.1–8.7 nm, and the content of anatase phase in TiO 2 ranges from 45% to 40.1%. The photocatalytic properties on methyl orange (MO) solution were also studied. The degradation rate of the composite is much higher than that of the pure TiO 2 in the same conditions.
