Abstract:
One-dimensional TiO
2,for its large surface area and high aspect ratio,not only can play fully photocatalytic role of TiO
2 in the industrial wastewater treatment,but also is easy to be separated,so the research on it has significant value.In this paper,the optimum condition to obtain TiO
2 nanorods is determined.Then the phase and morphology of TiO
2 are characterized by means of XRD、SEM、FT-IR、TGA-DSC.TiO
2 appears in a form of nonarod,and belongs to anatase.Use of UV degradation of methyl orange is employed to examine the effect of photocatalytic activity of the TiO
2 nanorods.The results show that compared with the degradation rate of sol-gel TiO
2 powder the degradation rate of TiO
2 nanorods increased about 10%.
