Synthesis of Fe-TiO2 Composite as a Photocatalyst for Degradation of Methylene Blue

Antibacterial Activity of Visible Light-Activated TiO2 Thin Films with Low Level of Fe Doping

“…Fe has attracted extensive attention because its octahedral trivalent radius (0.079 nm) is similar to that of titanium's octahedral tetrahedron (0.075 nm) [10]. Introduction of iron in the titania crystal lattice can form a new energy level between the valence band and conduction band, resulting in an extension of light absorption of TiO 2 into the visible region [4,31,32]. e antibacterial property of Fedoped TiO 2 under UV irradiation has been widely studied [10,[33][34][35][36][37], which shows the Fe-doped TiO 2 has excellent antibacterial properties against E. coli and S. aureus, some of which can be as high as 100% [10,35].…”

Rhodamine B Photocatalytic Degradation using CuO Particles under UV Light Irradiation for Applications in Industrial and Medical Fields

“…Conventional methods for eliminating dyes such as using liquid membrane 5) , ozonation 6) , and adsorption [7][8][9][10] are expensive and not very effective 11) . A promising approach to decompose organic dyes with superior activity is the heterogeneous photocatalysis 12,13) , which can be a clean, low-cost, and environmentally friendly remediation method 14,15) . Photocatalysis is already a wellknown method to degrade environmental pollutants, particularly synthetic dyes 16) , because reduction potentials of organic dyes are much lower than the energy of electron of catalyst in the excited state.…”

Degradation and mineralization of 4-tert-butylphenol in water using Fe-doped TiO2 catalysts

“…Anwar et al . 41 synthesized Fe-doped TiO 2 catalyst with the concentration of 6 wt.% iron through a sol-gel method, and the Fe/TiO 2 catalyst efficiently degraded methylene blue dye under UV and visible light irradiation.…”
