Abstract
Herein, Ag-anatase photocatalysts were synthesized though chemical reduction method under room temperature by using PVP and NaBH4 as stabilizer and strong reducing agent, respectively. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by the following technique: XRD, SEM, HR-TEM, EDX, and UV-Vis-NIR. The photocatalytic performance of 0.05 g of photocatalysts were performed under UV irradiation within 1 h by using 10 mg/L of rhodamine B as the representative of organic pollutant. The results demonstrated that the optimum Ag loading contents were 2 %wt (2-ST) which can degrade rhodamine B up to 98.54%. Therefore, the photocatalytic performance of bare anatase could be enhanced by deposited Ag nanoparticles. Further, this prepared Ag-anatase could be suitable for environmental application.
