Preparation of Nanomaterials Containing MoO3 and Z-Type Zeolite Photocatalysts

In order to improve the efficiency of TiO
₂
photocatalyst, MoO
₃
and Z-type zeolite are combined with TiO
₂
to lower energy gap of photocatalyst, reduce electron-hole recombination and increase adsorption area, which can enhance the efficiency of photodegradation and adsorption to remove organic pollutants. In this study, MoO
₃
and Z-type zeolite are successfully combined with TiO
₂
by sol gel method, and then nanoparticles are prepared by electrospinning. The results prove that the composite of MoO
₃
and Z-type zeolite combined with TiO
₂
is able to degrade organic matter under visible light and possesses high adsorption ability. Its removal efficiency of methylene blue can reach to 99.86%.
