Synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles and TiO2-Zeolite composites and study of optical properties and structural characterization

TiO2 is a semiconductor used in photocatalysis due to its optical and electrical properties, while Zeolites are used as photocatalysts due to its porous structure that allows adequate adsorption by combining these compounds advanced materials are created. In this work, TiO2 nanoparticles and TiO2-Zeolie compounds are synthesized by the sol-gel method. The composite structure is confirmed by using XRD, FTIR and Raman. UV-vis test is used for investigation of TiO2 and TiO2-Zeolite optical properties. The EDS, SEM and TEM techniques are used for synthesized nanocomposite morphology investigation. The results exhibit that TiO2-Zeolite optical properties increases with the incorporation of Zeolite in TiO2.
