Photoelectrocatalytic degradation of methyl red dye using Au doped TiO₂ photocatalyst

摘要

Au-TiO2 photocatalyst have been synthetized by a microwave assisted sol-gel method and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction techniques (XRD) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Photoelectrocatalytic degradation of methyl red dye have been carried out and a 95% degradation was achieved.
