【 摘 要 】

Carbon-doped MoO₃ samples were prepared by impregnation method. The effect of addition of polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400) and carbon (0, 1, 2 and 3 wt. %) as substrates, were investigated systematically to get the desired phase of carbon-doped MoO₃ material. The carbon used was prepared from the natural sources such as Acacia arabika plant wood. The resulting samples were calcined at 500°C. The effect of PEG-400 and carbon composite on the structure, particle size and morphology of MoO₃ was investigated. The samples thus prepared gave better control of particle size and porosity. The prepared samples were characterized using XRD, SEMâ€�?�EDS and FTâ€�?�IR techniques. Photocatalytic activities of the samples were studied with degradation of methylene blue. The 3 wt.% carbon-doped MoO₃ modified by PEG-400 (CMP3) sample showed enhanced photocatalytic activity in comparison with the undoped samples.
