Abstract

Mesoporous S-doped TiO2 microspheres were synthesized via hydrothermal method using Ti (SO4)2 precursor and urea as homogeneous precipitate agent. The TiO2-based catalyst samples were characterized by means of Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption/desorption and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS). Photo-catalytic experiments were carried out by catalytic degradation of methylene blue aqueous solution under visible light. It was found that the S-doped TiO2 microspheres gave better photo-catalytic performances. The higher absorbance in the visible region explained this phenomenon. There was an appropriate Ti (SO4)2 amount for the catalyst with better photo-catalytic degradation.
