摘要
In this study, a TiO2-CNT-Ag ternary composite film was successfully synthesized using the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method by simultaneously feeding a carbon nanotube (CNT)/Ag suspension and titanium tetraisopropoxide gas. The prepared TiO2-CNT-Ag film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Moreover, the Ag/Ti ratio of the film was confirmed using an inductivity-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer. The performance of the TiO2-composite film for the degradation of rhodamine 6G under simulated solar light irradiation was evaluated. The rate constant of the prepared TiO2-CNT-Ag for rhodamine 6G degradation was approximately 1.8 times greater than that of prepared TiO2. This result indicates that the addition of CNT and Ag significantly improved the photocatalytic activity of the prepared films.
