A bifunctional photocatalyst, i.e. titanium dioxide supported on activated carbon (TiO2/AC) was synthesized with the sol-gel method. The prepared composite was then characterized by various methods such as X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmet-Teller analysis, gravimetric analysis, scanning electron mic...
