Enhanced heterogeneous photodegradation of VOC and dye using microwave synthesized TiO<sub>2sub>/Clay nanocomposites: A comparison study of different type of clays
The TiO2/clay nanocomposites were synthesized from clays having different texture. The photoactivity of nanocomposites depends on clay texture and optical absorbance. The 2:1 clays act as better support than 1:1 clay for VOC and dye degradation. TiO2/clay nanocomposite retains reusable efficiency upto 90-93% after five cycles.
