Abstract
TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have been immobilized on the pore wall of porous aluminium foil. Compared with the aluminium foil and the film of TiO2 NPs deposited on the glass substrate, the aluminium foil with TiO2 NPs displays higher photoactivity for degradation of methyl orange. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic activity of the aluminium foil with TiO2 NPs possesses good reproducibility.
