Mesoporous carbon-doped TiO2 (MCT) was synthesized via a template-free method in combination with solvothermal treatments. The structure, particle size and composition of this adsorbent were measured using XRD, TEM and XPS. Also, the usability of isothermal models for Cu (II) onto mesostructured adsorbent was implicated in these cases. The adsorptive capacity of MCT for Cu (II) was assessed using ICP-MS technique. The maximal adsorptive capacity was 16.9 mg g-1, and the ion-exchange action of Cu (II) was found to be the predominant adsorption.
We reported a facile solvothermal approach to synthesize C/N-doped TiO2 (C/N-T) using a template-free method. The morphology and composition of the C/N-T were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, wavelength dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The photodegradation of formaldehyde was studied in environmental chambers under specific conditions combined with UV-Vis determinations. The catalytic oxidations of C/N-T nanoparticles were characterized by degrading formaldehyde of plywood, which was induced via visible-light illumination. A maximum 95.7% of degradation efficiency within 55 min showed enhanced photocatalytic activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
