Photocatalytic Activities

Quantum yields of hydrogen peroxide photolysis and photoinitiated hydroxylation of 2-hydroxybenzoic acid in the presence of 3d transition metal ions have been measured. Marked photocatalytic effects were only observed for Cu(II) in hydrogen peroxide photolysis, and for Fe(III) in photoinitiated hydroxylation of 2-hydroxybenzoic acid. No photocatalytic activity was detected for the other 3d transition metal ions investigated. Fe(III) and Cu(II) differ in their photocatalytic activities, suggesting that the simple concept of free OH. radical formation cannot explain the mechanisms of their action.

Sol Gel Method

Transition metal (Mn, Fe, Co,) doped TiO2nanoparticles were synthesized by the sol-gel method. All the prepared samples were calcined at different temperatures like 200°C to 800°C and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The studies revealed that transition metal (TM) doped nanoparticles have smaller crystalline size and higher surface area than pure TiO2. Dopant ions in the TiO2structure caused significant absorption shift into the visible region. The results of photodegradation of formaldehyde in aqueous medium under UV light showed that photocatalytic activity of TiO2nanoparticles was significantly enhanced by the presence of some transition metal ions. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) of formaldehyde solutions done at regular intervals gave a good idea about mineralization of formaldehyde.
