Photodegradation of Methylene Blue by the Action of Solar Light in the Presence of Potassium Polytitanate Doped with Silicon Oxide

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 o...

Description
Summary: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.
