Synthesis Of Silica-Titania Composite Aerogel Beads For The Removal Of Rhodamine B In Water

Abstract

Silica-titania (SiO2-TiO2) aerogel beads are synthesized by a single-step sol-gel reaction, followed by supercritical drying. The SiO2-TiO2 aerogel beads consist of nanoparticles, which interconnect to form mesoporous networks. The TiO2 nanoparticles distributed in the mesoporous networks have anatase phase. The SiO2-TiO2 aerogel beads with large adsorption capacities and high photocatalytic activities can efficiently remove Rhodamine B (RhB) from water. They can be easily recovered from the reaction solution and retain excellent removal capabilities even after several successive adsorption-photodegradation cycles.
