In this study, (Fe, Ti)-containing mesoporous silica (x Fe/Ti-HMS) nanoparticles were prepared by a photo-assisted deposition PAD technique, where x is a nominal composition ofFe (l to 4 wt%)). The prepared samples were characterized by DR-UV, XRD, and TEM techniques. The results showed the insertion of Fe into intra-framework of Ti-HMS resulted in a gradual narrowing of the band gap of Ti-HMS samples with increment of Fe wt%. TEM observations reveal that Fe nanoparticles are evenly distributed within Ti-HSM matrix at different Fe wt%. Such results indicate the possibility to control the band gap of a single-site photocatalyst (Ti-HMS) by coupling it with the conventional nano-sized Fe catalysts.展开更多
