Synthesis of Fe3O4/TiO2-Ni Composite as a Magnetically Recoverable Photocatalyst
Abstract:
The Fe3O4/TiO2-Ni composites have been prepared by incorporating magnetic particles with doped photoactive titania using sono-coprecipitation and sol-gel methods. The composite was characterised by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Disperse X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM) and Specular Reflectance Ultraviolet-Visible light spectroscopy (SR-UV). The results indicated that the composite of Fe3O4/TiO2-Ni had been synthesised. XRD and FTIR results showed that the composite had a good anatase phase. SEM-EDX result confirmed the atomic percentage of element presence in the synthesised product and VSM result proved that the composite has an excellent magnetisation moment of 8.76 emus. SR-UV result suggested that the composite had a good bandgap property compared to that of synthesised undoped titania.
