Enhancement of methylene blue photo-degeneration by TiO2/Carbon aerogel catalyst

In this study, TiO2/Carbon aerogel material (TiO2/CA) synthesized by the sol-gel method has improved TiO2 photocatalytic activity by trapping electrons and increasing the specific surface area. The success of material synthesis was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Nitrogen physisorption, Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDS), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
