Synthesis and characterization of CeO2/TiO2 nanotube arrays and enhanced photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization performance

Well-aligned CeO2/TiO2 nanotube arrays photocatalyst was successfully prepared by anodization and microwave homogeneous synthesis technique. CeO2/TiO2 nanotube arrays exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity, which can photo-oxidize and remove more than 90% of sulfur compounds in model oil in 5 h.261
