Abstract EN
Multiwalled carbon nanotube based nanoscale Ag2S and TiO2 composites have successfully synthesized via a facile ultrasound-assisted method.
The nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, UV-vis absorption spectra, BET surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
The Ag2S-TiO2/CNT nanocomposites exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity than pure TiO2 for the degradation of Rhodamine B (Rh.B) under UV and visible light.
The improved photocatalytic activities may be attributed to increased adsorbability of Rh.B molecules and increased charge transfer rate in the presence of a one-dimensional MWCNT network.
