Optical, electrical and structural properties of Fe doped sodium titanate nanostructures

This work addresses the main point, the synthesis of one-dimensional titanate nanostructures and their ion exchange with transition metals for application in photocatalysis. The catalysts tested in the photocatalytic process were titanate nanoribbons (NRTi) synthesized by hydrothermal method and ion exchanged with Sn2+. The structural and morphological analysis of the material was performed by XRD, Raman spectroscopy and TEM images, confirming the formation of the desired structures and the growth of SnO2 nanoparticles after the ion exchange process with average size smaller than 10 nm. The values of surface area were obtained by BET and showed a significant increment after the ion exchange process, making it favorable for application in photocatalysis. The NRTi was applied in the degradation of blue dye remazol, generating a total degradation in 120 minutes. The rate constants were calculated from the pseudo-first-order equation.

Application Potential

Fluffy sodium titanate nanostructures have been fabricated by a simple hydrothermal method with metatitanic acid as precursor. The obtained nanostructures exhibit as the aggregation of nanosheets, and the surface area of the nanostructure is about 110.59 m2/g. Such nanoarchitecture indicates high adsorption capacity to some metal ions, such as Cd2+, and the maximum adsorption capacity has been estimated to be 255.18 mg/g. The possible reasons that are responsible after its high adsorption ability, have been ascribed to the tiny structure, the ion-exchange ability and the large surface area of the sodium titanate nanostructures. And this may greatly enlarge its application potential as an adsorbent.
