The effect of doping with silicon oxide on the adsorption and photocatalytic characteristics of layered particles of quasiamorphous potassium polytitanate under the influence of radiation simulating sunlight was investigated. It was shown that the increase of photoactivity during the decomposition of methylene blue is due to decrease in the band gap of the doped potassium polytitanate particles.
