Synthesis of core/shell cobalt-doped rutile TiO₂ nanorods for MB degradation under visible light.

ABSTRACT: Although TiO₂ has been widely applied in many fields, the design and preparation of one-dimensional rutile TiO₂ nanomaterials for high-efficiency photocatalysis under visible light remain challenging. Herein, uniform Co-doped rutile TiO₂ nanorods with selective adsorption and photocatalytic activity for methylene blue (MB) have been developed via a one-pot molten salt flux method. Compared to pure rutile TiO₂ nanorods, the Co-doped rutile TiO₂ nanorods exhibited an obvious core/shell structure with smaller inner crystal face spacing (d ₀₀₁ = 0.20 nm) and a larger rough surface (the BET specific surface area is 25 m² g^-1). Furthermore, different dyes were employed to investigate the adsorpt
