Abstract
Heteropolyphosphotungstic acid (H3PW12O40) (HPA)-encapsulated titanium-supported SBA15 nanoporous materials (HPA-TiSBA-15) were synthesized as a new photocatalyst, and they were characterized by FT-IR and 31P NMR MAS spectroscopic methods. Their photocatalytic effects on degradation of methyl orange in water were investigated under natural conditions, and it was found that a 4-fold increase in the photodegradation rate is observed in the presence of HPA-TiSBA-15 as compared to the rate observed in the presence of titanium-supported SBA15 nanoporous materials (TiSBA-15) without HPA.
