AB  - This study explores the synthesis and application of Ni-based photocatalysts supported on MCM-41 and Al-MCM-41 for phenol degradation. Three preparation methods were evaluated and compared: Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Incipient Wet Impregnation (IWI), and Template Ion Exchange (TIE). The influence of the Si/Al ratio of 5 and 60 on phenol photodegradation was also examined. The results showed that the Ni/MCM-41 photocatalyst prepared by CVD achieved the highest degradation efficiency (97.28%), while the TIE method proved to be the most versatile overall. Notably, the TIE method was the only synthesis method capable of exhibiting photocatalytic activity in phenol degradation on all supports at different Si/Al ratios, unlike the materials prepared by CVD and IWI, which failed to degrade phenol in the presence of aluminum. These results indicate the TIE method as a novel synthesis method for the development of mesoporous photocatalysts with high photocatalytic activity in the degradation of phenol with different Si/Al ratios in the MCM-41 structure.
