Abstract
Vanadium doped titania (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles was synthesiz ed by sol gel method. On this basis of using ultrasonic
impregnation method by use of ethyl silicate and citric acid on the catalysts surface for further modification to prepare eth er
compound wrapped strong reducible photocatalyst. By using of 100 mg/L po tassium dichromate and 30 mg/L methyl orange
as degradation model, studied Si citric acid V co modified TiO2 catalyst redox property. Experimental results indicate that
Si citric acid V co modified TiO 2 catalyst particle size is the smallest nanometer sphe re and have reunion phenomenon. On
the surface of catalyst is introduced into the hole scavengers is helpful to improve the reduction of the catalyst while it is
harmful to improve the oxidation ability. Si citric acid-V co-modified TiO2 photocatalytic per formance relatively stable..
Keywords
