Abstract EN

Mesoporous CeOx/TiO2 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using titanate nanotubes as precursor through the hydrothermal-calcination method.

The as-prepared materials were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscope (TEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm analysis.

All the obtained CeOx/TiO2 materials exhibit anatase phase.

Ce element existed in two valance states of Ce3+ and Ce4+.

Introduction of Ce species can effectively extend the spectral response from UV to visible light region.

N2 adsorption-desorption analysis revealed that all the samples belong to mesoporous structure and have large BET surface area compared with P25.

The CeOx/TiO2 nanoparticles showed excellent photocatalytic activity in the degradation of MB under visible light irradiation.
