Abstract
This paper presents the synthesis of the titanium peroxide complex and the photocatalytic activity of the TiO2/g-C3N4 system. The prepared materials were characterized by using UV-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The titanium peroxide complex with high TiO2 content and the TiO2/g-C3N4 system of 1:1 (w/w) has good catalytic activity. This material can be used in polluted-wastewater treatment.
