Ta 2 O 5 -TiO 2 heterojunction photocatalysts with a structure of TiO 2 nanodots deposited on Ta 2 O 5 nanotube (NTs) were prepared by anodization and in situ growth methods following annealing treatment. The heterojunction photocatalytic material exhibited enhanced photodegradation behavior of meth...
