The resultant microcapsules were well-shaped and uniform sphere with diameter ranging from 2 to 6 um. Thermogravimetry （TG） and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） curves revealed that the microcapsules showed good thermal stability （no decomposition observed under 245℃）. Besides, the microencapsulated TiC2 has been used as an efficient catalyst for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange. Furthermore, the photocatalysis of immobilized TiC2 could be enhanced by introducing UV absorbing agent to the wall of microcapsules.展开更多
