Abstract

Titanium dioxide nanotubes arrays were successfully synthesized by an anodizing route, which were designed as a photocatalyst. Through adsorbing Fe³⁺ ions on the surface of the TiO₂ nanotubes, their photocatalytic activity can be effectively improved. The photodegradation experiments show that, under presence of H₂O₂, the methylene blue pollutant (1 × 10^-6 M) was almost completely decomposed by as-fabricated Fe³⁺ ions doped TiO₂ nanotubes arrays under irradiation of sunlight for 0.5 h. Comparing with the pure TiO₂ nanotubes arrays photocatalysts, the photocatalytic activity of the Fe³⁺ ions doped TiO₂ nanotubes arrays is obviously higher.
