The photocatalytic activity of metaldoped TiO2 /SiO2 towards phenoldegradation under black light irradiationwere investigated and comparedwith undoped TiO2 /SiO2 . The results showed that the photoresponse of Cu2+ and Zn2+doped TiO2 /SiO2were larger than undoped TiO2 /SiO2 , indicating that the photogenerated carrierswere separated more efficiently in Cu2+ and Zn2+doped TiO2 /SiO2 . The reactivitywas in the order of Cu2+ 〉 Zn2+ 〉 Ni2+ 〉 Cr3+ 〉 Co2+ . Thedifferent photoreactivitywas ascribed to combine effect of thedifferent ionic radii and photocorrison tendency of thedopants.
