Effect of biochar on the photocatalytic activity of nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide nanocomposite in the removal of aqueous organic pollutants under visible light illumination

Effect of biochar on the photocatalytic activity of nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide nanocomposite in the removal of aqueous organic pollutants under visible light illumination

Biochar, as a low-cost carbon obtained from barley straw, was used for the simple sol–gel synthesis of visible light photocatalysts comprising N-doped TiO2/biochar nanocomposite (N-TiO2/C) and thermally treated N-TiO2/C. The nanocomposites were characterized by SEM, EDX, TEM, XRD, BET, FTIR, DRS UV-...
