g-C3N4 was loaded into the Ti-incorporated mesoporous silica materials.
Ti moiety in Ti-SBA15-CN improves the charge separation of g-C3N4 under visible light.
Ti-SBA15-CN showed better photocatalytic activity than Ti-SBA15 and SBA15-CN.
Photocatalytic activity of Ti-SBA15-CN exhibited a rise with increasing of Ti content.
Synergism of photocatalytic Cr (VI) reduction and phenol degradation was observed.
