Article Synopsis
- An Ag-modified TiO nanomaterial was synthesized using a one-pot method with specific chemicals and conditions, and its structure and morphology were analyzed using advanced microscopy techniques.
- The addition of metallic Ag nanoparticles reduced the optical band gap and photoluminescence of TiO, while also enhancing certain Raman and absorbance properties.
- The photocatalytic tests demonstrated that the Ag-modified TiO nanomaterials outperformed both bare TiO and Ag NPs in decomposing hydrazine under visible light, achieving high selectivity and activation efficiency due to a beneficial interaction between the Ag and TiO components.
In this study, titanium oxide nanotubes (TiONTs) were deposited on the surface of activated carbon (AC) by varying the wt% of AC. The physicochemical properties of synthesized TiONTs-AC nanocomposites were analysed by various characterization techniques such as XRD, FT-IR, Raman, DRUV-vis, HR-TEM, XPS, PL, and N physisorption. The FT-IR, EDX, and XPS analyses proved the existence of interaction between AC and TiONTs.
