The photocatalytic activities of the Ag Au-TiO2 NPs on the photodecomposition of methylene blue(MB) are investigated. The Ag Au-TiO2 composite NPs coated with 5.0% titania related to block copolymers show higher photocatalytic activity than the other samples in which the titania contents are larger than 5.0%. The results indicate that the increase of the thickness of the TiO2 shell leads to the decrease of the photocatalytic activity.展开更多
