Synthesis of SBA-15/Ni/TiO2/CNTs composites and their photocatalytic activities
SBA-15/NiO/TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared by coating nano-TiO2 doped with nickel on SBA-15 support using the sol-gel method. Then carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown by in-situ chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on the surface of the SBA-15/NiO/TiO2 with metallic nickel reduced in TiO2 as catalyst. The prepared SBA-15/Ni/TiO2/CNTs nanocomposite photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction
field emission scanning electron microscopy
transmission electron microscopy
UV-Vis absorption spectroscope and Raman spectra. The photocatalytic activities of the samples were investigated by the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue. The photocatalytic activities of SBA-15/Ni/TiO2/CNTs increased significantly in comparison with SBA-15/NiO/TiO2. The photocatalytic activities of the nanocomposite by twice coating with TiO2 doped with nickel on SBA-15 was also higher than once coating.
