Abstract

TiO₂-SiC was prepared by oxidization of TiC-SiC precursor which was obtained by carbothermic reduction process of TiO₂-SiO₂. XRD analysis indicated the formation of the mixture of anatase and rutile phases of TiO₂ crystalline after the oxidation of TiC-SiC sample. TiO₂-SiC photocatalyst exhibited the higher photocatalytic reactivity than TiO₂ loaded on SiO₂ (TiO₂-SiO₂) prepared by the conventional sol-gel method and commercial TiO₂ powder (P-25). These results indicated the advantages of SiC powders as catalyst support of the TiO₂ photocatalyst. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2005.311]
