- Abstract
A series of aluminum oxyhydroxide-incorporated titania composites were prepared by a one-pot synthetic procedure using aluminum tri- sec-butoxide as a precursor. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry, nitrogen physisorption, and scanning electron microscopy. It was identified that aluminum oxyhydroxide (γ-AlOOH, or boehmite) was produced as aluminum matrix into which titania, commercially available P25, was incorporated. Photocatalytic activity of all nanocomposites was evaluated with respect to the photodecolorization of methyl orange under UV irradiation and almost complete decolorization was eventually achieved under optimum experimental conditions.
