Synthesis and properties of photocatalytic composites based on titanium(IV) and nickel(II) oxides

Abstract

Composites based on titanium(IV) and nickel(II) oxides have been synthesized and investigated in a wide composition range: 0.5-60 wt % Ni. We have analyzed the effect of synthesis conditions on the phase composition and texture of the composites, some of which contain mesopores, consist of nanoparti cles, and offer photocatalytic activity in the visible range.
