Abstract

TiO ₂ was treated by water in an ultrasonic bath, resulting in the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of methylene blue under UV and visible light irradiation. No change in the crystallinity and optical properties of TiO ₂ by the H ₂ O-treatment was observed. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and FT-IR data revealed that the C impurities were oxidized by this treatment, indicating that the change in the structure of the C impurities plays a pivotal role in the photocatalytic activity of TiO ₂ .
