Synthesis of Mo-modified TiO2 material with enhanced photocatalytic activity

In this communication, we synthesized the composite of MoO3/TiO2 with hierarchical electronic structure via the facile impregnation combined with calcination of precursors. Beside the forming of composites, the asprepared samples were in a desire of Mo-doping into TiO2 lattice, due to the smaller radius of Mo+6 compared to Ti+4, leading to the reduction of the band gap.
