摘要：
A simple and efficient method of preparing composites of carbon nanotubes and titania (CNT-TiO2) is reported via a microwaveassisted synthesis in an ionic liquid, [bmim][BF4]. CNT-TiO2 nanocomposites were formed by the thermal decomposition of titanium (IV) isopropoxide (Ti(OPri) 4) in the presence of CNTs under microwave irradiation. The obtained product was characterized by BET surface area, XRD, SEM, and TEM. TiO2 particles with average size of 9 nm were as anatase. The surface area of the composites increased with an increase of CNT content. Moreover, the catalytic efficiency of the composite was investigated through the photoelectrodegradation of methylene blue.
