The complex photocatalyst could be activated by absorbing both ultraviolet and visible light （λ = 190-800 nm）. Methylene blue （MB） could be degraded more efficiently on the complex photocatalyst than on the TiO2 under natural light. The conjugated polymer played a promoting role in the photocatalytic degradation of MB. The calcination temperature had an important effect in degradation of dye and could be summarized as 260℃ 〉 300 ℃ 〉 340 ℃ 〉 220 ℃ 〉 180 ℃.展开更多
