Visible Light Photodegradation of Azo Dye by Cu/TiO<sub>2</sub> Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Cu/TiO2 photocatalysts with different metal loading were prepared via modified depositionprecipitation method with the intention to reduce the band gap for Orange II degradation and mineralization under visible light radiation. The photocatalysts were characterized using thermal gravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance UV-Visible spectroscopy and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. 10 wt% photocatalysts showed the best performance compared to the bare TiO2.
