Abstract
We have studied ferroin adsorption on photocatalytically active nanocomposites based on TiO2 doped with Fe3+, Nb5+, or W6+. The results demonstrate that the mass of an adsorbed organic substance correlates with the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalysts. High-temperature heat treatment of the nanocomposites increases manyfold the mass of an organic substance adsorbed from an aqueous solution for unit free surface area of the photocatalyst.
