520	3		_aThis study focuses on the synthesis and evaluation of titanium-based catalysts for the photocatalytic degradation of phenol in aqueous solutions, with particular emphasis on the effect of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) loading. Phenol, a toxic organic pollutant commonly found in industrial wastewater, poses significant environmental and health risks due to its persistence and toxicity. Traditional methods for phenol removal face challenges such as low efficiency and high costs, necessitating the development of alternative solutions. In this research, TiO₂/CdS/TA composites with varying titanium loadings (10 wt%, 15 wt%, 20 wt%, and 25 wt%) were synthesized using the electrochemical method. The catalysts were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis to investigate their structural, surface, and textural properties. The results showed that the 10 wt% TiO₂/CdS/TA composite exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity, achieving optimal balance between surface area, pore volume, and active site availability. The degradation efficiency decreased with increasing TiO₂ loading due to reduced surface hydroxyl groups and pore blockage caused by excessive CdS deposition. This study demonstrates the potential of TiO₂/CdS/TA composites as effective photocatalysts for phenol degradation, with the 10 wt% TiO₂/CdS/TA catalyst showing the best performance. The findings underscore the importance of optimizing catalyst properties to enhance light absorption, minimize electron-hole recombination, and improve photocatalytic efficiency. These results provide valuable insights for the development of sustainable and cost-effective water treatment solutions.
