Abstract:Several transition metals (Fe, Cu, Ni, Cr, and Co) were inserted into the
Ti-SBA-15 using two-step synthesis methods. XRD, SEM-EDX, N2
adsorption-desorption isotherms, XRF, and UV-DRS analysis were used for
characterizations. The results confirm the preservation of an ordered
mesoporous structure and well-dispersed Ti-metal, and enhanced the
absorption of light compared with Ti-SBA-15. The photocatalytic performances
were evaluated in the degradation of methylene blue under UV light. The
