TiO2-loaded activated carbon fiber: Hydrothermal synthesis, adsorption properties and photo catalytic activity under visible light irradiation

- TiO2 nanoparticles were deposited on activated carbon fibers by hydrothermal method.
- TiO2 loading could be adjusted by altering the initial concentration of TBOT.
- TiO2/ACF showed photocatalytic activity toward RhB under visible light irradiation.
- Composite fiber with 75.1% of TiO2 presented best degradation rates (67.6%).
