Abstract

TiO ₂ nanoparticles were deposited on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for improvement of their photocatalytic activity. CNTs could be uniformly covered with TiO ₂ nanoparticles by the hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide in the presence of urea. Urea worked as linker molecules between the CNT surface and the TiO ₂ nanoparticles. The resultant TiO ₂CNT composites showed a high catalytic activity for photodegradation of organic molecules.
