Enhancing photocatalytic activity by using TiO{sub 2}-MgO core-shell-structured nanoparticles
- Materials Science and Technology Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545 (United States)
Hygroscopic Mg(OH){sub 2} gel was topotactically decomposed on TiO{sub 2} particle surfaces, resulting in highly nanoporous MgO-coated TiO{sub 2} particles. The highly hygroscopic and nanoporous MgO shell absorbed more water molecules and hydroxyl groups from the environment to yield an improved photocatalytic property of the core-shell particles as compared to the uncoated TiO{sub 2} counterpart.
