Abstract

ACF and WO₃ modified TiO₂ composites (ACF/WO₃/TiO₂) were prepared using a sol-gel method. The composites were characterized by Brunauer?Emmett?Teller (BET) surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. A methyl orange (MO) solution under visible light irradiation was used to determine the photocatalytic activity. The degradation of the MO was determined using UV/Vis spectrophotometry. An increase in photocatalytic activity was observed and attributed to an increase of the photo-absorption effect by the WO₃ and the cooperative effect of the ACF.
