Abstract:

A new method for the fabrication of CNTs/Fe-Ni/TiO2 porous composite film was proposed. Firstly, nickel and iron doped titanium dioxide precursor containing block polymer P123 was prepared by sol-gel method. Then, Fe-Ni/TiO2 porous film on SnO2 doped with fluorine(FTO) conductive glass substrates was prepared using spray pyrolysis deposition(SPD) technique. Finally, carbon nanotubes(CNTs) were in situ grafted on Fe-Ni/TiO2 porous film by chemical vapor deposition(CVD) method. The CNTs/Fe-Ni/TiO2 porous composite film had macro-mesoporous structure and CNTs in situ grafted on TiO2 had good graphite structure. And the CNTs/Fe-Ni/TiO2 porous composite film photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) transmission electron microscopy(TEM), Raman spectra and UV-Vis absorption spectra. The photocatalytic activities of prepared samples were investigated by the photodegradation of methyl orange. The results show that the photocatalytic activity is improved significantly by the doping of nickel and iron and the composition of CNTs.
