    Abstract: Nano-porous photocatalyst TiO2-SiO2 binary semiconductor aerogels were prepared by the sol-gel method with Ti(OC4H9)4 and Si(OC2H 5)4 as the precursors and by supercritical drying of ethanol. The influence of ethanol, water and the mole ratio of TiO2 and SiO2 on the gelation process was investigated. The microstructure of the TiO2-SiO2 binary semiconductor aerogel was also tested by using BET、XRD、SEM . The photocatalytic activity of TiO2-SiO2 binary semiconductor aerogels was characterized by measuring degradation of phoenol in aqueous suspension. The results showed that the TiO2-SiO2 binary aerogels had high surface area(523.8m 2g -1 )and the diameter of their skeletal particles is 30-50 nm. Compared with titania powder(in the form of anatase and particle diameter 3-5μm), it was proved that the TiO2-SiO2 binary semiconductor aerogel with TiO2:SiO2 mole ratio 1:1 had the highest efficiency in the photocatalytic oxidation of phenol under the same experimental conditions.
