Abstract

SBA-16-supported TiO2 photocatalysts was synthesized by internal hydrolysis method. The synthesized samples were characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, N2 adsorption–desorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–Visible absorption spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicated that SBA-16 retained the 3D caged-like mesostructure while TiO2 located almost inside the mesoporous channels in form of small crystals with anatase structure. The photodecomposition of Rhodamine B (RhB) in aqueous medium was selected to evaluate the photocatalysis performance of TiO2/SBA-16. The influences of different TiO2 loading were studied. The results indicated that TiO2/SBA-16 synthesized by IH method showed much higher photodegradation ability towards RhB than pure TiO2 and TiO2/SBA-15.

Graphical Abstract

We present a rapid and facile method called internal hydrolysis (IH) method to incorporate TiO2 into SBA-16. The TiO2/SBA-16 prepared by IH method shows much higher photodegradation ability for RhB than the activity achieved by the pure TiO2 and TiO2/SBA-15, obeying the following order: TiO2/SBA-16(0.92) > TiO2/SBA-16(3.68) > TiO2/SBA-16(1.84) > TiO2/SBA-16(0.46) > TiO2/SBA-16(7.36) > TiO2/SBA-15(0.92) > pure TiO2.
