Descripción
Sumario:[EN] n this work, a SiO-TiO coating, composed of different numbers of TiO and SiO layers, was fabricated by a spray-coating technique. The films were deposited onto ignimbrite rock and divided into two groups according to the number of SiO layers applied, 10 and 15 layers of SiO and 5 layers of TiO for each group. The morphology and chemical composition of the synthesized samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), which reveal the successful SiO-TiO coating on ignimbrite. The photocatalytic activities of samples obtained were evaluated toward the decomposition of 3 ppm of methyl orange (MO). Finally, NO gas degradation was studied. The obtained results evidenced that the SiO and TiO coating improved the photocatalytic activity of ignimbrite.
