Abstract

TiO₂ nanotube (TiO₂-NT) is one of the promising materials for photocatalytic water remediation. TiO₂-NT doped Zn (Zn/TiO₂-NT) is synthesized from P25 Degussa via one step hydrothermal method. From XRD and UV-DRS analysis, it showed that Zn as a doping material led to decrease band gap energy and decrease the crystallite size. The best results obtained was Zn/TiO₂-NT with a crystallite size of 7.14 nm, and band gap energy value of 3.18 eV. Photocatalytic activity of Zn/TiO₂-NT was also tested for photocatalytic activity of textile dye (methylene blue) degradation. During the photocatalytic activity for methylene blue degradation, the Zn/TiO₂-NT shows higher activity compared to non-doped sample. The non-doped sample shows degradation activity of 87.72%, meanwhile the Zn/TiO₂-NT shows degradation activity of 95.88%.
