Abstract:This research focused on the impregnation, characterization, and application of TiO2 and Ni-loaded TiO2 photocatalysts for the treatment of phenanthrene (PHEN), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) chemical and pollutant found in water and soil sources. The synthesis and integration of well-crystallized Ni nanoparticles in the TiO2 matrix are indicated by XRD and FE-SEM studies. The optical analysis revealed that trace embedding of Ni in the TiO2 matrix resulted in a reduced energy absorption edge, with Eg … Show more
