Au and AuCu Nanoparticles Supported on SBA-15 Ordered Mesoporous Titania-Silica as Catalysts for Methylene Blue Photodegradation

Au and AuCu Nanoparticles Supported on SBA-15 Ordered Mesoporous Titania-Silica as Catalysts for Methylene Blue Photodegradation

The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye has been performed under UV irradiation in aqueous suspension, employing photocatalysts based on Au (1.5 wt %) and AuCu (Au/Cu = 1, 2.0 wt %), and supported on SBA-15-ordered mesoporous silica, with and without titania (Si/Ti = 3), in order t...
