Abstract

Dramatic visible light photocatalytic activity was obtained for the degradation of methyl orange using TiO₂ photocatalysts modified with polydopamine (PDA) nanospheres. The high photocatalytic activity is due to the synergetic effect between PDA and TiO₂, which promote the migration efficiency of photogenerated carriers at the interface of PDA and TiO₂.
