The prepared photocatalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy and point of zero charge. The addition of metals, especially Cu enhanced the absorbance in the visible region. The lowest band gap was observed for the bimetallic Cu-Fe/TiO2 (2.77 eV) compared to bare TiO2 (3.05 eV). The performance of the photocatalysts for photodegradation of diisopropanolamine (DIPA) at pH 8 was determined using a batch glass reactor under simulated sunlight (980 W/m2). The best performance was displayed by Cu-Fe/TiO2 with the highest DIPA removal of 92. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84891541185&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMR.845.421&partnerID=40&md5=f846856c84bb13016047813459ab8077 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.845.421 full_text_status: none publication: Advanced Materials Research volume: 845 place_of_pub: Johor Bahru pagerange: 421-425 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783037859360 issn: 10226680 citation: Ramli, R.M. and Chong, F.K. and Omar, A.A.
