研究目的
To prepare Ag-modified SnO2@TiO2 core-shell composite photocatalysts via a hydrothermal method and evaluate their photocatalytic activity for Rhodamine B degradation under visible light irradiation.
研究成果
Ag-modified SnO2@TiO2 core-shell composites were successfully prepared and showed significantly higher photocatalytic activity than pure TiO2 under visible light, attributed to the synergistic effect of Ag modification and SnO2 addition. The optimal photocatalytic performance was achieved with a 0.15 M AgNO3 modification.
研究不足
The study does not discuss the scalability of the synthesis method or the cost-effectiveness of the materials used. The environmental impact of the synthesis process and the long-term stability of the photocatalysts under various conditions are also not addressed.
