Abstract
A solution-processed cerium oxide (CeO2)-titanium oxide (TiO2) nanocomposite is utilized as an effective visible-light driven photocatalyst for the photodegradation of bromophenol (Bph) dye. The structural and the morphological properties reveal the good interaction between CeO2 and TiO2 nanomaterials in CeO2-TiO2 nanocomposite. The CeO2-TiO2 nanocomposite shows the enhanced optical properties with a significant red shift after the addition of CeO2 nanoparticles. The CeO2-TiO2 nanocomposite as photocatalyst accomplishes enormously high degradation of Bph-dye by ~72% within 3 h under visible-light illumination. The improved degradation might attribute to the higher adsorption capacity and the better ē-h+ pair separation under light illumination.
