A new method to improve photocatalytic performance of TiO2 by dispersing TiO2 onto carbon nano tubes (CNTs) hydrophilically modified by acid and polyvinyl alcohol is reported. Characterizations using various techniques such as Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, X ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller N2 adsorption, transmission electron microscopy and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy indicated that the improved photocatalytic activity of the composites was attributed to the high dispersion of TiO2 on CNTs and the intimate contact between TiO2 and CNTs resulting in dense heterojunctions at the interface of TiO2 and CNTs to take full advantages of CNTs functionalities.
