A novel spherical activated carbon (SAC) supported and Er3+:YFeO3-doped TiO2 visible-light responsive photocatalyst (Er3+:YFeO3/TiO2-SAC) was synthesized by a modified sol–gel method with ultrasonic dispersion. It was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spect...
