Description
Summary:Hierarchical structures with high densities of secondary Ag nanoparticles grown on primary TiO 2 fibers have been produced by a facile and low-cost way, by combining electrospinning and hydrothermal techniques. The photocatalysis properties were verified by degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB), and exhibited high efficiency and stability under UV-light illumination. A mechanism to form Ag/TiO 2 heterostructures by a solvothermal reducing reaction in HMTA solvent is reported.
