The Study of Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2/LaFeO3 Synthesized by Self-combustion

Abstract

TiO2/LaFeO3 composites were synthesized by a simple self-combustion method in this study. All the composites were evaluated by photocatalytic experiments with methyl orange as model contaminant. The effects of calcination temperature and content of component were investigated in detail. The results show that the TiO2/LaFeO3 composites are responsive to both ultraviolet and visible light. The composites show fairly good reusability in at least 3 using cycles. It is a promising photocatalyst to treat environmental pollutions.
