SiO2pillared layered titanate (SiO2–H2Ti4O9) was prepared via intercalating organosilanes into the interlayers of the layered K2Ti4O9followed by calcination at 500°C. The resulting materials were characterized using XRD, N2adsorption–desorption isotherms, UV–vis spectra, IR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of SiO2–H2Ti4O9was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of aqueous methylene blue dye (MB). XRD and specific surface area results showed that SiO2–H2Ti4O9had an interlayer distance of 1.45nm and a specific surface area of 148m2g−1. UV–vis absorption spectrum of SiO2–H2Ti4O9showed a red shift, indicative of a narrower band gap compared to K2Ti4O9. In addition, SiO2–H2Ti4O9showed higher MB adsorption capacity compared to H2Ti4O9and K2Ti4O9. MB photodegradation over H2Ti4O9, K2Ti4O9and SiO2–K2Ti4O9followed zero-order kinetics under our experimental conditions, and the photocatalytic activity of SiO2–H2Ti4O9was found to be three times higher than that of K2Ti4O9, which could be attributed to the increase of interlayer space and specific surface area of SiO2-pillared layered titanate.
