Preparation and Characterization of TiO2@SiO2-Ag NanospheresPhotocatalyst, and Investigation of Its Photocatalytic Activity onMethylene Blue
Özet
Titanium dioxide shows tremendous potential for the decomposition of organic
pollutants under UV and visible light irradiation. In this study TiO2 nanospheres @ mesoporous
silica nanospheres (TiO2@SiO2) photocatalyst was synthesized by the sol-gel method. The
synthesized TiO2/SiO2 photocatalyst was decorated by Ag nanoparticle. The decorated TiO2@SiO2–
Ag photocatalyst by a hydrothermal method was characterized by scanning electron microscope
(SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM results
show that TiO2@SiO2–Ag nanospheres photocatalyst was uniformly formed. The EDS analysis
proves that the nanospheres photocatalyst consists of Ti, Si, O, and Ag. The TiO2@SiO2–Ag
nanospheres photocatalyst exhibited better photocatalytic performance for the degradation of
methylene blue under direct UV illumination
