Quantum size effect of cadmium-doped titanium dioxide photocatalysts towards methylene blue degradation and electrooxidation

Nahit AKTAŞ

At present, titanium dioxide supported cadmium catalysts were prepared at 0.5-5?admium loading by impregnation method. 0.5?d/TiO2 catalyst was characterized with scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Characterization results revealed that by cadmium doping to titanium dioxide, surface electronic properties and crystal structure of Cd/TiO2 catalysts changed as obtained from SEM-EDX, XRD, and XPS. Following this, methylene blue degradation and electrochemical oxidation measurements were examined under ...Daha fazlası
