Popis: This paper deals with the photocatalytic reactivity of anatase titania particles, modified by surface deposition of Cu2+ and Zn2+ oxide/hydroxide nanoparticles which are detected by EDS and FX techniques. The objective of the preparation steps was chosen to avoid the formation of larges Cu and Zn oxide particles, which could be identified by XRD and other techniques. Their activity for methanol photocatalytic oxidation in water was studied and Rhodamine-B was added as photo-sensibilizer. To obtain a-TiO2 support, a thermal activation of commercial Millennium-PC500 nanosized powder was achieved. 3Cu/a-TiO2 and 3Zn/a-TiO2 catalysts (3 wt% of Cu or Zn) were prepared under simple, easy and reproducible experimental conditions, namely by impregnation with nitrate salts. Catalysts and titania support were characterized by: X-rays diffraction, fluorescence spectroscopy, FEG- SEM equipped with EDS accessory, N2-sorption and UV–Vis Diffuse Reflectance spectroscopy. Only crystalline anatase TiO2was identified by XRD and large Cu and Zn oxide/hydroxide nanoparticles were easily evidenced by EDS and other techniques. Electronic band-gap was measured by UV–Vis spectroscopy using Kubelka-Munkand Tauc's methods, results varied in the order: 3Cu/a-TiO2
