Abstract

The meso-porous TiO2 and Sm-doped meso-porous TiO2 were synthesized by a sol-gel method. Polyethylene glycol, with different added content, was added as a structure-directing agent. The prepared meso-porous TiO2 was characterized by nitrogen adsorption, X-ray diffraction and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and the photocatalytic performance was evaluated by the decomposition of methyl orange. The results revealed that PEG plays a key role in creating porous structure during the heat-treatment. The photocatalytic performance of TiO2 is improved by adding proper content PEG, and Sm-doping can further promote the photocatalytic performance.
