Abstract

The influence of various factors on the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide produced from different precursors by a gel and sonochemical methods was analyzed. Obtained nanosized titanium dioxide demonstrates an increased photocatalytic activity, which can be as high as that of the best commercial crystalline powders and even higher. The material with a high photocatalytic activity was prepared from the aqueous solution of titanium chloride by sonochemical method and calcined at 600 °C. The total surface area of the sample is about 50 m2/g, the phase composition is anatase with a minor proportion of rutile modification.
