Preparation of Polyaniline Supported TiO2 Photocatalyst and its Photocatalytic Property

Article Preview

Abstract:

A polyaniline supported titanium dioxide photocatalyst was prepared by an impregnation-hydrothermal process and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. It was found that the TiO2 nanoparticles were well dispersed on the surface of the polyaniline and the photocatalyst has a stronger absorption compared with that of pure TiO2 over the whole of the visible spectrum. The photocatalyst exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than pure TiO2 for the photodegradation of solutions of the anthraquinone dye, reactive brilliant blue KN-R, under visible light irradiation.
