Abstract

TiO2/Ga2O3 nanowires were successfully prepared by a sol–gel-solvothermal method using tetrabutyl titanate as precursor, alcohol as solvent, Ga2O3 as templet and dopants, alginate as dispersant. The structures, morphologies,compositions and catalytic activity of products have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy ( FESEM ), nitrogen adsorption test, ultraviolet-visible near-infrared spectroscopy (UV–vis–NIR ),energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and spectrophotometer. The results revealed that the as-synthesized TiO2/Ga2O3 nanowires grew along [001] direction,which is reported for the first time, and the as-prepared product had better optical activity than TiO2 nanoparticles. Finally, the nanowires have a good adsorption capacity of 128.2 m2/g tested through nitrogen adsorption.
