Titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst is an excellent solution that can be utilized to decompose organic pollutants. In this report, Ni-doped TiO2immobilized on silica gel bead by sol–gel process was investigated. The morphology, crystal phase composition, particle size, porosity characteristics, and optical properties of the samples were investigated through scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, N2isothermal loops, Raman spectroscopy, and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) absorption. The results revealed that Ni2+uniformly distributed in the TiO2crystal lattice to replace Ti4+and that Ni2+did not change the TiO2anatase crystal phase. Compared with pure TiO2, the absorption edge of the Ni-doped TiO2sample exhibited a redshift from 400 nm to 655 nm. Influenced by silica gel bead as catalyst support, the crystal size of Ni-doped TiO2sample was reduced from 27 nm to 6 nm that led to a blueshift in both Raman and UV–Vis spectra. The photocatalytic enhancement was demonstrated by methyl orange decomposition. Under ultraviolet irradiation, the photocatalytic performance of Ni-doped TiO2immobilized on silica gel bead was lower compared with pure sample. Opposite to this, Ni-doped TiO2immobilized on silica gel bead showed photocatalytic enhancement under visible light.Graphical Abstract
