Study of nano-Ag particles doped TiO2 prepared by photocatalysis.

Nano-silver (Ag) particle doped TiO2 composite photocatalyst was prepared by photocatalytic reaction of anatase TiO2 with AgNO3 solution. Microstructures of these particles were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Its photocatalytic behavior was examined by the degradations of two dyes, methyl orange and methylene blue.
