Abstract
ACF and ZnO modified $TiO_2$ composite materials (ZnO-ACF/$TiO_2$) were prepared by a sol-gel method. The composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. A methyl orange (MO) solution under visible light irradiation was used to determine the photocatalytic activity. The degradation of the MO was determined using UV spectrophotometers. An increase in the photocatalytic activity was observed and attributed to an increase of the photo-absorption effect by the ZnO and the cooperative effect of the ACF.
