Physicochemical characteristics and photocatalytic performance of TiO2/SiO2 catalyst synthesized using biogenic silica from bamboo leaves

In this work, TiO2/SiO2 composite photocatalysts were prepared using biogenic silica extracted from bamboo leaves and titanium tetraisopropoxide as a titania precursor via a sol–gel mechanism. A study of the physicochemical properties of materials as a function of their titanium dioxide content was...
