Adsorption and visible-light photodegradation of organic dyes with TiO2/conjugated microporous polymer composites

A series of composite materials made of TiO(2 )and conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) were prepared with a hydrothermal method and used as both adsorbents and photocatalysts for the adsorption and visible-light photodegradation of organic dyes in aqueous solutions. It is found that the blending of CMPs can significantly improve both the adsorption capacity and the photocatalytic degradation activity of TiO2 towards organic dyes.
