Abstract:
This study builds on previous results published on the synthesis and characterization of laponite-supported titania photocatalysts. Titania nanocrystals are prepared prior to addition to the clay dispersion, by a sol-gel synthesis incorporating a microwave hydrothermal step. In addition to previously examinations with XRD, TEM, and FT-IR, the samples are further characterized with SEM, 29Si NMR, and BET N2 sorption to gain additional insight into the effect of TiO2 concentration and surface area on the photoactivity of the samples.
