Preparation Method | Obtained material | Remarkable results | |
---|---|---|---|
He et al.18 | Homogenous precipitation | Core-shell Fe3O4-TiO2 |
• Obtained Fe3O4-TiO2 is non-toxic • Fe3+ could be doped into TiO2 and activate the photocatalytic activation under visible light activation |
Sun et al.19 | One-step calcination | Magnetic Fe3O4-TiO2 |
• The degradation of organic dye by Fe3O4-TiO2 (Fe/TiO2 ratio: 1/200) was enhanced compared to single Fe3O4 and TiO2 • The synergistic of Fe3O4 and TiO2 could be attributed to the high photocatalytic activity |
Zheng et al.12 | Liquid phase deposition | Waxberry-like microsphere Fe3O4-TiO2 |
• Diameter: ~500 nm • Shell thickness: ~10–20 nm • Remove 40% of MB (10 ppm) after 60 mins under Xenon lamp (300 W) • Could be recycled after photocatalytic reaction |
Stefan et al.13 | Ultrasound assisted sol-gel | Fe3O4-TiO2: Eu nanocomposite |
• Increase of Eu doping decrease the formation of FeTiO3 • Large surface area and mesoporous strcuture • Remove 85% of RhB (1.0 × 10−5 mol/L) dye after 3 h unter visible light irradiation (400 W halogen lamp) |
Alzahani53 | Sol-gel | Core shell Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 | • Under UV light, the photocatalytic performance was higher than commercial TiO2 |
This study | Sol-gel | MgAC-Fe3O4/TiO2 |
• The synergistic of Fe3O4 and TiO2 could be attributed to the performances of MgAC-Fe3O4/TiO2 • Core-shell structure with Fe3O4 as core and TiO2 at outer layer is suggested. • However, the photocatalytic under visible light should be activated in the near future |
