Synthesis and Characterization of Titanium Dioxide Hollow Nanofiber for Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue Dye

Abstract: Environmental crisis and water contamination have led to worldwide exploration for advanced technologies for wastewater treatment, and one of them is photocatalytic degradation. A one-dimensional hollow nanofiber with enhanced photocatalytic properties is considered a promising material to be applied in the field. Therefore, we synthesized titanium dioxide hollow nanofibers (THNF) with extended surface area, light-harvesting properties and an anatase–rutile heterojunction via a template synthesis method and fo… Show more

“…The photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 NPs was enhanced by the spherical morphology and small crystallite size. The TiO 2 hollow nanofiber showed higher photocatalytic efficiency at 0.75 g/L and moderate at 1.0 g/L, as reported by Jafri et al [45]. In this degradation process, the nanoparticle had higher active sites at the optimum weight of the catalyst, and there was a gradual decrease in active sites of the nanoparticle as the weight of the catalyst exceeded the optimum weight.…”

“…After calcination, there was a red shift of the absorption edge towards visible light. The increased absorption was most likely due to the presence of rutile phase, which has an intrinsically smaller band gap energy compared with the pure anatase phase [ 62 , 63 ]. Moreover, the intensity of these bands decreased with increasing concentration of modifier due to the delay of the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation.…”
