PREPARATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND ORANGE II REMOVAL UNDER VISIBLE LIGHT RADIATION OF Cu-Ni/Ti02 PHOTOCATALYST

Photocatalytic degradation of a model azo dye, Orange II, was investigated over bimetallic Cu-Ni/Ti02 photocatalysts. In the present study the introduction of Cu and Ni onto Ti02 surface was with the intention to reduce the band gap of the photocatalyst for enhanced visible light absorption vi...
