Improved Adsorption and Photocatalytic Degradation of Methyl Orange by Onion-like Nanocarbon/TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanocomposites

Improved Adsorption and Photocatalytic Degradation of Methyl Orange by Onion-like Nanocarbon/TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanocomposites

Waste cooking oil, a known environmental pollutant, has been used as a precursor for the synthesis of onion-like nanocarbons (OLNCs) using flame pyrolysis. The OLNCs were added to TiO<sub>2</sub> to form TiO<sub>2</sub>/OLNC nanocomposites through hydrothermal treatment. The...
