High activity TiO2 Photocatalysts Prepared by a Modified Sol–gel Method: Characterization and their Photocatalytic Activity for the Degradation of XRG and X-GL

  • Published:
Topics in Catalysis Aims and scope Submit manuscript

A simple method for preparing high photocatalytic activity TiO2 has been developed by controlled the hydrolysis of titanium butoxide with water generated “in situ” using an esterification reaction between the acetic acid and ethanol. The photocatalytic activity of the samples prepared was higher than that of the reference Degussa P25 TiO2 for the liquid phase photocatatlytic degradation of active yellow XRG dye and cationic golden X-GL dye.
