Abstract
Visible photoactive AgBr/TiO2 was immobilized on a SiO 2@Fe3O4 magnetic support by solvothermal and sol-gel methods to form a AgBr-TiO2/SiO2@Fe 3O4 magnetic photocatalyst. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and magnetometry. Hetero-structured AgBr/TiO2 was well seeded on the shell-core SiO2@Fe3O4 structure. The AgBr-TiO2/SiO2@Fe3O4 magnetic photocatalyst exhibited high photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methylene blue under visible light. The photocatalyst was superparamagnetic, which is beneficial for facile magnetic separation.
