摘要

A series of carbon-covered titania(CCT)were prepared via pyrolysis of sucrose highly dispersed on titania surface in flowing N2.The samples were characterized by XRD,BET,DTA-TG,UV--Vis,and their photocatalytic properties were evaluated with two model pollutants,methylene blue(MB)and rhodamine B(RB),at room temperature.The effect of carbon content on photocatalytic activity of the C/TiO2 composite was investigated.It was found that the effect of carbon content is different for different pollutants or different light sources.For three tested samples,under UV illumination CCT01 has the highest activity for MB photocatalytic degradation,while in the case of RB,CCT02 is the most active photocatalyst.Under visible light illumination,CCT005 has the highest activity for both MB and RB photocatalytic degradation.
