摘要
The sol-gel method was used to synthesize Gd-SiO2-TiO2 composite photocatalysts. When the doping amounts of Si and Gd reached 9.1 mol% and 0.2 mol% respectively, the sample showed the optimal photocatalytic activity during the methylene blue (MB) degradation. When the calcination temperature was lower than 550 degrees C, Gd-SiO2-TiO2 photocatalyst has an anatase crystal structure. After doping of Si and Gd, the absorption wavelength thresholds of the sample approached 407 nm with the energy gap of 3.05 eV. Gd-SiO2-TiO2 photocatalyst showed the degradation efficiency about 90% to methylene blue (MB) under irradiation of simulated sunlight.
