Ni-doped Al2O3-based materials for the photocatalytic degradation of phenol
摘要
The photocatalytic degradation of phenol over Ni-doped Al2O3 was investigated. Materials varying Ni concentrations were synthesized and characterized by XRD, FTIR, UV–Vis–DRS, and XPS. The results showed that Ni doping significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity, attributable to increased UV light absorption and efficient charge carrier separation. The optimal Ni concentration was found to be 1.5 wt%, achieving a 70% phenol degradation in 4 h. These findings suggest that Ni-doped Al2O3 holds great promise for wastewater remediation.
