Synthesis and characterization of M-fullerene/TiO2 photocatalysts designed for degradation azo dye

► C60 has good effect in photo-degradation process, added metal can improve this effect. ► C60 have good effect in photo-degradation process. ► C60 has larger pore sizes, volumes, conjugated structures, electron-accepting ability. ► Increase the photo-absorption effect by C60 and cooperative effect of metal.
