Enhanced photocatalytic degradation performance of bisphenol A over TiO<sub>2</sub>-SiO<sub>2</sub> photocatalyst by improving specific surface area under simulation natural light
Abstract:The application of natural light in photocatalytic process is a potential energy source. In this study, TiO2-SiO2 nanoparticles with outstandingly enhanced photocatalytic activity have been fabricated by sol-gel method. The prepared photocatalysts with different molar ratio of TiO2:SiO2 as 100:0; 95:5; 85:15 and 75:25 were denoted as TiO2, TS5, TS15 and TS25, respectively. Characterization of these photocatalysts was evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 Adsorption… Show more
