Preparation And Characterization Of Carbon Doped Tio2 Using Humic Acid And Its Modified Derivative As Carbon Precursors For Enhanced Photocatalytic Activities

TiO2, one of the semiconductor photocatalysts with environmental friendly and economical characteristics had attracted scientific interest over the last 10 years. However, TiO2 can only be activated by UV light corresponding to its large band gap of 3.2 eV. One of the possible approaches in improvin...
