Abstract

Assessing the decomposition of methyl orange as a model organic pollutant by a newly developed highly efficient nano-photocatalyst of In,V-codoped TiO2.

Removal of methylene blue from wastewater under a low power irradiation source by Zn, Mn co-doped TiO2 photocatalysts

“…In addition, compared with single metal doping, it also improves the photocatalytic activity of the host material. 15 Zhi et al observed that as compared to pure or single doping, an optimum amount of Zn-Fe co-doping into TiO 2 exhibits a twofold improvement in photocatalytic activity, which is attributed to the enriched electronic properties of TiO 2 by the co-dopants. 16 Another recent example has been demonstrated by Boningari et al, where they studied the effect of doping of different metals on Mn doped TiO 2 for the catalytic reduction of NO with NH 3 .…”

Effects of various hydrogenated temperatures on photocatalytic activity of mesoporous titanium dioxide

“…This is usually associated with the usage of ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation only and the rapid recombination rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs that are useful in creating radicals for decomposing organic contaminants. To circumvent the limitations posed by TiO 2 , tremendous efforts have been exerted to improve the effectiveness of TiO 2 such as doping TiO 2 with cations (Fe, Cu, Cr, V, Mn, Ni, Co and Zn) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] or anions (N, F, Cl, S and P) [14][15][16][17][18][19] and incorporating the defects into TiO 2 crystals [20]. The cation doping seems to be an effective technique to enhance the photocatalytic activity.…”

Ferromagnetic Properties of N-Doped and Undoped TiO2 Rutile Single-Crystal Wafers with Addition of Tungsten Trioxide

“…As can be seen in Figure 2 b, there were four O 1s peaks, meaning there were four different chemical environments in sample 4. A relatively strong peak appeared at BE of 529.20 eV, which was attributed to lattice oxygen in TiO 2 [ 27 , 28 ]. A small peak that appeared at 531.9 eV corresponded to Ti-N-O band in sample 4 due to the doping of N element in the sample; this finding is in agreement with Chan and Lu’s report, which showed that the BE of Ti-N-O band is 531.5 eV [ 29 ].…”
