Abstract

The hollow flower-like Gd-TiO2 (FGT) photocatalytic materials have been synthesized through a facile hydrothermal process by using gadolinium nitrate hexahydrate as a Gd source. The FGT was characterized with scanning electron microscopy, transmission Electron Microscope, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The results show that the crystal structure of the synthesized material is rutile, the morphology is three-dimensional hollow flower-like. Gd-TiO2 material with the doping amount of 0.125 mol% exhibit an enhanced phoocatalytic activities on the degradation of RhB under simulated sunlight irradiation, which reaching to 95%. Therefore, the FGT shows favorable photocatalytic performance toward organic pollutant degaradation field.
