The photocatalyst sorbic acid (SA)/titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) was successfully synthesized by sol–gel method and characterized. The composite exhibited regularly spherical particles with the size of 50 nm and the specific surface area of 90.3 m 2  g −1 , furthermore, it showed mesoporous structure an...
