Physicocbemical properties of prepared photocatalysts were characterized with nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms measurement, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and Fourier transform infrared （FT-IR） spectroscopy. The results indicated that the APTMS/SiO2/TiO2 film demonstrated a degradation efficiency of 79% superior to those of SiO2/TrO2 and AEAPTMS/SiO2/TiO2 films due to the synergetic effect of adsorption and photocatalytic properties. The APTMS/SiO2/TiO2 film can be recycled with about 7% decreasing of degradation efficiency after seven cycles.展开更多
