A green hydrothermal synthesis route to prepare a porous Ni doped TiO2 nanostructured photocatalyst has been developed in this research. Ni doping can increase the visible light photocatalytic performance of TiO2 with cycle capability of 5 times.
Surface acoustic waves double the photocatalytic activity of platinum-doped titanium dioxide for water splitting with methanol as a sacrificial material.
AbstractPolycrystalline tungsten-doped titanium dioxide nanopowders within a dopant concentration of 0-1 at.% were prepared by a one-step flame spray synthesis (FSS). Mixtures of titanium tetra-isopropoxide dissolved in ethanol and tungsten hexacarbonyl solubilized in tetrahydrofuran were used as precursors. The specific surface area (SSA) of the powders was between 40 and 130 m
