Abstract:

NiO-TiO2 coupled semiconductors were synthesized by organic templates method.Their pore distribution, crystal structure,surface composition and photo absorption properties were investigated by techniques of N2 adsorptiondesorption, XRD, TPR, TEM and UV-Vis DRS. The results show that the NiO-TiO2 coupled semiconductors prepared by organic templates exist in nanotube or nanobelt with mesporous structure, and the BET surface area is higher than 100m2/g. The NiO particles disperse well on the surface of TiO2, and the strong interaction between NiO and TiO2 results in the formation of NiTiO3. The p-n couple effect of NiO and TiO2 extends distinctly the photo absorption field and decreases the Eg from 3.82eV to 3.49eV when the addition amout of NiO is increased from 2% to 10%.

Key words: mesoporous, coupled semiconductor, NiO-TiO2, photo absorption property
