Article Description

Mesoporous TiO with anatase crystalline structure (MTiO /F) has been synthesized by using vinylidene fluoride/chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (1:9 in mole, F) as template. The synthesized mesoporous titania samples were characterized by a combination of various physicochemical techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and N adsorption/desorption. It was found that without any external doping, MTiO/F exhibited significantly higher photocatalytic activities for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) dye than P25 TiO under visible light irradiation. Furthermore, the UV-Vis absorption maximum of the dye solution exhibited a gradual hypsochromic shift due to de-ethylation and degradation of RhB dye. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012.
