Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating cost-effective and efficient nanocomposite photocatalysts, specifically TiO/activated carbon (TiO/AC) composites, using a straightforward preparation method involving mechanical pounding, ultrasonic mixing, and mild thermal annealing.
- Characterization techniques like XRD, SEM-EDS, and UV-Vis spectroscopy were used to analyze the structural and photocatalytic properties of these composites, revealing that the optimal TiO/AC ratio (4:1) showed the best performance in degrading methylene blue.
- The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the TiO/AC composites is attributed to the combination of activated carbon's high adsorption capacity and titanium oxide's photocatalytic efficiency, which together help
