Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of dyes by TiO2 nanobelts with hierarchical structures
Abstract
TiO2 nanobelt membranes with hierarchical structure were successfully synthesized by sequentially autoclaving Ti at 190°C for 3 d in the presence of 10M NaOH and 10M KOH solutions. Microstructural characterization revealed TiO2 nanoparticles joining together and on the surface of nanobelts. These hierarchical structures form a three dimensional porous membrane which significantly enhances both surface specific area and light absorption, …
