Modification of Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes with Nanoparticles for High Photocatalytic Activity
View through CrossRef
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were successfully attached to the outer surface of one dimensional oxidized
multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) via sol-gel technique. It was well-established that calcination temperature
played a critical role in controlling the crystallinity and phase of MWCNTs/TiO<sub>2</sub> composites. Thus, the effects of calcination
temperature on the resulting MWCNTs/TiO<sub>2</sub> were illustrated. The phase transition of MWCNTs/TiO<sub>2</sub> composites
was determined using XRD analysis. The photocatalytic activity evaluation of MWCNTs/TiO<sub>2</sub> composites was conducted
under degradation of organic dye (methyl orange solution). The results revealed that annealed MWCNTs/TiO<sub>2</sub> composites
showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity due to the highly crystalline anatase TiO<sub>2</sub> structures.
