Abstract: Nanosized Pd clusters deposited on titania modified MCM-41 was synthesized by photodeposition method through PdCl42- and titania modified MCM-41. The structure and optical properties of the as synthesized samples were investigated by XPS, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Metallic palladium was efficiently photoreduced on the surface of titania in the mesopore from PdCl42- according to the results of XPS. The adsorption revealed that titania and noble Pd clusters were uniformly distributed on the silica wall surfaces of MCM-41 support. The configuration of partial titania in Pd deposited titania modified MCM-41 changed from tetrahedral to octahedral from the results of adsorption in UV-Vis spectra and Raman spectra because of the interactions between the loaded Pd clusters and titania. The Pd deposited titania modified MCM-41 exhibited a high photocatalytic activity for the photodegradation of phenol and the photoreduction of Cr(Ⅵ) to Cr(Ⅲ).
