Abstract

Titanium dioxide powders were synthesized by ultrasonic-assisted hydrolysis reaction of titanium tetra-isopropoxide at the low-temperature. The samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photocatalytic activity of samples were investigated by the degradation of methyl orange under UV light radiation (6W, λ= 352nm) at room temperature. The results indicated that the products were mainly composed of high homogeneity anatase phases, and the methyl orange degradation rate can reach more than 90% under ultraviolet irradiation 180min. The photocatalytic activity of the samples prepared by ultrasonic method is higher than that of the samples prepared by conventional hydrolysis method.
