Preparation and Photocatalytic Properties of TiO sub(2)/CMK-3 Composites

In this paper, TiO sub(2)/ ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) composites were prepared by hydrolysis method after electron beam (EB) pretreatment. The XRD results showed pure TiO sub(2)/CMK-3 composites can be obtained under mild reaction conditions (0.06 M TiF sub(4) solution, and at 60 [degrees]C), and the SEM/TEM images showed that the TiO sub(2) was successfully grown onto the surface of CMK-3. The photocatalytic properties of TiO sub(2)/CMK-3 composites were also investigated by methyl orange (MO) degradation under the UV irradiation. Results demonstrated that the TiO sub(2)/CMK-3 composites have a good photodegradation for the MO.
