Thermally stable ordered mesoporous CeO2/TiO2 visible-light photocatalysts
Abstract
Thermally stable, ordered mesoporous CeO2/TiO2 (Ce/Ti molar ratio = 0.05) visible-light photocatalysts have been fabricated by the evaporation-induced self-assembly method. Introducing highly dispersed CeO2 species into the mesoporous TiO2 framework can effectively extend the response of TiO2 to the visible-light region and improve the thermal stability of the mesoporous TiO2. The products calcined at 500 °C exhibit superior photocatalytic performance in the photochemical degradation of
