Advanced Removal of Dyes with Tuning Carbon/TiO₂ Composite Properties.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluates the removal of several dyes with different charge properties, i.e., anionic (Acid Red 88), cationic (Basic Red 13), and neutral (Basic Red 5) using transition metal-doped TiO₂ supported on a high-surface-area activated carbon. Experimental results confirm the successful deposition of TiO₂ and the derivatives (Zr-, Cu-, and Ce-doped samples) on the surface of the activated carbon material and the development of extended heterojunctions with improved electronic properties. Incorporating a small percentage of dopants significantly improves the adsorption properties of the composites towards the three dyes evaluated, preferentially for sample AC/TiO₂_Zr. Similarly, the photodegradation efficiency highly depends on the nature of the composit
