Characterization and Photocatalytic Activity of Enhanced Copper-Silica-Loaded Titania Prepared via HydrothermalMethod

TiO2 nanopowder, loaded with SiO2 and Cu-SiO2, was prepared under both acidic and basic environments via the hydrothermal method. The morphology and structure of TiO2 were studied by XRD, TEM, and FT-IR. The photocatalytic activity of samples was studied by monitoring the degradation of methyl ora...
