Rational design of efficient visible-light driven photocatalyst through 0D/2D structural assembly: Natural kaolinite supported monodispersed TiO2 with carbon regulation

In this work, kaolinite supported monodispersed TiO2 with carbon regulation was prepared through rational design and different dimensions’ assembly, leading to generation of TiIII species in carbon doped TiO2/kaolinite (C-TiO2/kaolinite) composite. The C-TiO2/kaolinite composite exhibited improved degradation performance towards ciprofloxacin under visible light, with a reaction rate constant of 0.00597 min−1, which is about 3.24 and 24.88 times...
