Mechanistic insight into the improved photocatalytic degradation of dyes for an ultrathin coating of SiO2 on TiO2 (P25) nanoparticles

The photocatalytic mechanism of TiO2 (P25) nanoparticles coated with SiO2 (SiO2:TiO2) by atomic layer deposition was investigated. The deposition of SiO2 on TiO2 not only gives a photocatalytic improvement for the degradation of both Rhodamine B (3.6–fold) and Acid Blue 9 (3–fold). SiO2 deposition a...
