Abstract

Silver nanoparticles doped on titanium oxide (TiO₂) were produced by laser-liquid interaction of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) in isopropanol. Characteristics of Ag/TiO₂ (Ag doped TiO₂) nanoparticles produced by the methods presented in this article were investigated by XRD, TEM, SEM, EDX, and UV-Vis. From the UV-Vis measurements, the absorption of visible light of the Ag/TiO₂ photocatalysts was improved (additional absorption at longer wavelength in visible light region) obviously. The photocatalytic efficiency of Ag/TiO₂ was tested by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. A maximum of 82.3% MB degradation is achieved by 2.0 wt% Ag/TiO₂ photocatalyst under 2 h illumination with a halogen lamp.
