Degradation Of Methyl Orange

In this paper, a simple, efficient and environmental friendly method was proposed to fabricate TiO2/CdS nanotube arrays. The composite nanotubes with a core-shell coaxial structure were fabricated via a simple method of liquid deposition and double diffusion using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The photocatalytic properties of the nanotube arrays (TiO2, TiO2/CdS) were confirmed by the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under UV irradiation. Compared to bare TiO2 nanotube arrays, TiO2/CdS composite nanotube arrays showed improved photocatalytic performance: The degradation efficiency of TiO2/CdS and TiO2 nanotube arrays towards methyl orange was 65% and 39%, respectively.

Potential Applications

Carbon nanotube (CNT) is one of the most attractive nanomaterials which may be used in many potential applications of nanotechnology due to its excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. We demonstrated the fabrication of carbon nanotube at the surface of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Acetylene was used as a hydrocarbon source and Fe as catalyst. CNT was synthesized at different temperature. The iron catalyst was confined in the holes of the AAO membrane. A variety of carbon structures such as nanotubes, helices, spiral, and hook-like curved shapes in the range of micrometer were synthesized. High graphitic multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was found at 700-750°C temperature.
