Abstract EN
The development of visible light-sensitive photocatalytic materials is being investigated.
In this study, the anatase and rutile-C60 composites were prepared by solution process.
The characterization of the samples was conducted by using XRD, UV-vis, FT-IR, Raman, and TEM.
The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by the decolorization of the methylene blue.
From the results of the Raman, FT-IR, and XRD, the existence of the C60 was confirmed in the samples.
The C60 was modified on the anatase or rutile particle as a cluster.
The C60 didn't have the photocatalytic activity under UV and visible light.
The anatase and rutile-C60 composites exhibited lower photocatalytic activity than the anatase and rutile under UV light.
The anatase-C60 exhibited also lower activity than the anatase under visible light.
On the other hand, the rutile-C60 exhibited higher activity than the rutile under visible light.
It is considered that the photogenerated electrons can transfer from the C60 to the rutile under visible light irradiation.
