This paper reports the sol-gel synthesis of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-Nd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (Al-Nd-<i>x</i>; <i>x</i> = 5%, 10%, 15% and 25% of Nd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) binary oxides and the photodegradation of diclofenac activated by UV light. Al-Nd-based catalysts were analyzed by N<sub>2</sub> physisorption, XRD, TEM, SEM, UV-Vis and PL spectroscopies. The inclusion of Nd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> in the aluminum oxide matrix in the 10-25% range reduced the band gap energies from 3 ...[more]
