摘要
Magnetic nanocomposites consisting of different mass ratios of Fe3O4 cores to Ag-modified TiO2 shells (Fe3O4@ Ag/TiO2 magnetic nanocomposites) were synthesized by three-step methods: co-precipitation, sol-gel and chemical deposition methods. The morphology, size and elemental compositions of the obtained nanocomposites were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX) spectroscopy. TEM images showed that Fe3O4 nanoparticles were coated by ultra-small TiO2 nanoparticles and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis clearly demonstrated the existence of their amorphous phase. Vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis showed that the synthesized nanocomposites composed of superparamagnetic properties. Photoluminescence spectroscopy and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy was used to study their optical properties. In addition, methylene blue was used as a model compound for studying photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the synthesized nanocomposites compared to bare TiO2. The greater efficiency of Fe3O4@Ag/TiO2 magnetic nanocomposite under visible light was achieved and the limitations of separation can be overcome. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
