Abstract
/cellulose aerogel displayed high photocatalytic performance. Its removal efficiency of MB reached 97.2% under weak UV light for 65 min. There is no obvious decrease in the catalytic efficiency after 5 cycles, suggesting the stability and recyclability of the composite aerogel. This study provides a novel strategy for the preparation of efficient green heterogeneous catalysts by using renewable resources, and shows composite catalyst processes have great potential in wastewater treatment.
