Sol-Gel Prepared TiO₂ Photocatalyst

Аннотация

A brief overview of the latest advances in the preparation of nanostructured titanium dioxide and its application in photocatalysis and other fields are given. The data of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis on the study of the dispersion, morphology, structure and phase composition of titanium dioxide nanopowders obtained by the sol-gel method are presented. The application of TiO₂ nanomaterials for the photocatalytic decomposition of organic pollutants is discussed. The high photocatalytic activity of the nanosized TiO₂ powder for the decomposition of methylene blue is demonstrated and supporting the advantages of using ultraviolet light for photocatalytic water purification.
