摘要: Porous Ag2S sensitized TiO2 catalysts were synthesized by the hydrothermal process. The crystallization and porous structure of the Ag2S/TiO2 composite photocatalysts were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and N2 adsorption. The Ag2S/TiO2 composites were mainly composed of anatase TiO2 and acanthite Ag2S. The absorption edge wavelengths of TiO2 and the Ag2S/TiO2 composite prepared with 3 mmol Na2S·5H2O were 400 and 800 nm, respectively, that is, the absorption edge of the composite had a pronounced red shift. The photocatalytic activity under visible light was investigated by the degradation of methylene blue with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic activities under visible light of the Ag2S/TiO2 photocatalysts were much higher than that of TiO2.
