This work provides an alternate unique simple methodology to design and synthesize chemically modified nanophotocatalyst based on high surface area TiO2 nanoparticles that can be used efficiently for the photodegradation of organic pollutants under normal visible light rather than complicated UV irradiation. In this study, dual visible light and UV-driven nanophotocatalysts were synthesized via wet chemistry procedures using high surface area TiO2 nanoparticles functionalized with (3-Aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane and attached chemically to the CuXO to improve the charge separation and maintain the non-charge recombination. The successful modification of the TiO2 nanoparticles and the formation of the TiO2-NH2-CuxO nanophotocatalyst were confirmed using different characterization techniques, and the results revealed the synthesis of high surface area TiO2 nanoparticles, and their chemical modification with an amino group and further decoration with copper to produce TiO2-NH2-CuxO nanophotocatalyst. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 and TiO2-NH2-CuxO nanophotocatalyst were evaluated using methylene blue (MB) dye; as an example of organic pollutants. The resulting TiO2-NH2-CuxO nanophotocatalyst exhibited superior photocatalytic activity for the degradation of MB dye under visible light irradiation, due to the reduction in the energy bandgap. The degradation of the MB dye using the TiO2-NH2-CuxO nanophotocatalyst was investigated using LC-MS, and the results revealed that the hydroxyl free radical is mainly responsible for the cleavage and the degradation of the MB dye.
