Abstract
This work used a simple technique to prepare a novel cerium titanate nano-rods embedded in a cellulose-based hydrogel with high photo catalytic degradation activity. The composite hydrogel was prepared by embedding different amounts of cerium titanate nano-rods (Ce/Ti-NRs) into a crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose/polyacrylamide polyelectrolyte complex (CMC/PAM) as a matrix material. The physico-chemical properties of the Ce/Ti-NRs, CMC/PAM, and cerium titanate nano-rods embedded in a cellulose-based hydrogel (Ce/Ti-NRs/CMC/PAM) were investigated by FT-IR, XRD, BET, TEM, SEM, and EDX techniqu
