Description
Summary:TiO2 powder has been prepared by simple and low cost sol–gel procedure. The structural and morphological properties of prepared TiO2 powder were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The XRD pattern clearly shows (111) maximum intensive plane of TiO2 material with other less intensive peaks, in absence of any other impurities. The dye degradation properties of TiO2 powder were characterized using UV–Visible absorption spectroscopic technique. The photocatalytic dye degradation properties for methylene blue (MB) dye were studied. The photocatalytic dye degradation results show fast degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye in presence of TiO2 powder in solution. Above results show TiO2 material is useful for photocatalytic dye degradation application.
