<p>TiO<sub>2</sub> Anatase activities should be increased from the UV to the visible light photocatalytic activity of TiO<sub>2</sub> to increase anatas. One efforts to optimize TiO<sub>2</sub> anatase activity is doping by using dopant vanadium(V). Synthesis method which is used in this research is a solid reaction method. The steps being taken in this methods include grinding and heating at high temperatures. Dopant concentrations of vanadium(V) which are used in the research was 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.7%. and the characterization used is X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy. The result shows that there are a changing of particle size, band gap energy, and absorption of TiO<sub>2</sub> anatas wavelength because of dopan vanadium(V) addition. While TiO<sub>2</sub>’s structure does not change. The crystal sizes of each TiO<sub>2</sub> without doping, V-TiO<sub>2</sub> 0,3%, 0,5% and 0,7% are 53.21 nm, 47.67 nm, 79.65 nm dan 68.99 nm.  Band gap energy of each TiO<sub>2</sub> without doping, V-TiO<sub>2</sub> 0,3%, 0,5% dan 0,7% are 3.309 eV, 3.279 eV, 3.270 eV and 3.259 eV. While wavelength absorption of each TiO<sub>2</sub> without doping, V-TiO<sub>2</sub> 0,3%, 0,5% and 0,7% are 374.9 nm, 378.4 nm, 379.5 nm and 380.8 nm.<em> </em></p><p class="BodyAbstract"> </p><strong><em>Keywords</em>:</strong> <em>Synthesis, titanium dioxide, vanadium(V), solid state method</em>

The contemporary market needs for enhanced solid–state lighting devices has led to an increased demand for the production of willemite based phosphors using low-cost techniques. In this study, Ce3+ doped willemite nanoparticles were fabricated using polymer thermal treatment method. The special effects of the calcination temperatures and the dopant concentration on the structural and optical properties of the material were thoroughly studied. The XRD analysis of the samples treated at 900 °C revealed the development and or materialization of the willemite phase. The increase in the dopant concentration causes an expansion of the lattice owing to the replacement of larger Ce3+ ions for smaller Zn2+ ions. Based on the FESEM and TEM micrographs, the nanoparticles size increases with the increase in the cerium ions. The mean particles sizes were estimated to be 23.61 nm at 1 mol% to 34.02 nm at 5 mol% of the cerium dopant. The optical band gap energy of the doped samples formed at 900 °C decreased precisely by 0.21 eV (i.e., 5.21 to 5.00 eV). The PL analysis of the doped samples exhibits a strong emission at 400 nm which is ascribed to the transition of an electron from localized Ce2f state to the valence band of O2p. The energy level of the Ce3+ ions affects the willemite crystal lattice, thus causing a decrease in the intensity of the green emission at 530 nm and the blue emission at 485 nm. The wide optical band gap energy of the willemite produced is expected to pave the way for exciting innovations in solid–state lighting applications.

Pure and F doped TiO2 nanotubes was synthesized using simple hydrothermal method. The hydrothermal was conducted using teflon-liner autoclave and maintained at 150oC for 24 hours. The characterization of synthesised product was carried out using x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive of x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and ultra violet – visible light diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) for band gap measurements. XRD patterns indicated that anatase TiO2 phase was remained after F doping suggested that fluorine was highly dispersed into TiO2 by substituted with O in the TiO2 lattice to formed TiO2-xFx solid solution. Morphology investigation using TEM found out small diameter of nanotubes structure within 8 – 10 nm of pure and F doped TiO2 nanotubes. The band gap energy (Eg) of both nanotubes samples were almost similar proposing that F doping does not modify the band gap energy.

Preparation of MgO and Mg0.9Li0.2O materials using self-propagating combustion method are done to investigate the effect of substitution doping on the band gap energy. The synthesis condition has been optimized to obtain pure and single phase of MgO and Mg0.9Li0.2O materials and was confirmed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The morphology obtained from field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) is spherical and rounded polyhedral shape with agglomeration of crystallites for MgO and Mg0.9Li0.2O materials respectively. The crystallite size of MgO and Mg0.9 Li0.2O samples is between 50 nm to 120 nm and 200 nm to 1500 nm respectively. The band gap was determined by UV-Vis NIR spectrophotometer and it was found that the band gap obtained for MgO nanostructure is 6.10 eV which is lower than bulk MgO of 7.8 eV. The presence of Li in the MgO had caused changes in morphology, crystallite size and band gap narrowing to 3.83 eV.

Abstract The polymeric precursor method was used for the synthesis of KNb3O8 and compared to the solid-state method. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and determination of surface area and total pore volume by nitrogen isotherms at 77 K. The material prepared by the polymeric precursor method was single-phase while K2Nb4O11 was obtained as secondary phase when the solid-state method was used, as evidenced by the XRD patterns and the Raman spectra. The morphology of the materials was significantly altered by the synthesis method, as the KNb3O8 prepared by the polymeric precursor method presented a more porous morphology leading to a higher surface area and pore volume.

Pure TiO2 and Cr doped TiO2 (0.1-1.0wt% Cr) nanoparticles were synthesized via sol gel method. This study focuses on narrowing the TiO2 band gap energies in order to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency under visible light. The synthesized samples were characterized by X-Ray diffraction method (XRD), field emmision (FESEM) and also UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS).The photocatalytic activity under sunlight irradiation was demonstrated by photocatalytic decomposition of methylene blue in water using UV/Vis spectrophotometer. The XRD analysis of pure TiO2 and doped TiO2 calcined at 500oC showed a mixture of anatase and rutile phases with decreasing crystallites size from 13.3nm to 11.6nm as the concentration of Cr was increased. The anatase-rutile phase transformation increased from 28.8% to 57.4%. An indication shows that at 0.75wt%, Cr the anatase and rutile phases have equal composition percentage. This study demonstrated that band gap energy of TiO2 was reduced with Cr doping which could enhance the photocatalytic efficiency. Sample containing 1.0wt% exhibit the lowest optical band gap energy at 2.86 eV. The optimum chromium doping concentration was found to be at 0.1 wt% Cr corresponding to band gap energy of 2.87 eV and degradation rate of 84%.

Utilization of photocatalytic properties of materials can be perceived through a wide range of applications, such as anti-bacterial, water treatment, and self-cleaning materials. It has been established that doping can result in alteration of photocatalytic activities. This study aimed at studying effects of tin concentration on chemical composition, microstructure, band gap energy, and photocatalytic activities of tin-doped titanium dioxide powder synthesized by solution combustion technique. Experimental results revealed that concentration of tin significantly influenced chemical composition of the powders. A semi-quantitative analysis indicated that tin oxide secondary phase increased from 11 to 23 wt%, as the Sn increased from 2.5 to 10 mol%, respectively. Tin concentration, nevertheless, did not significantly influence microstructure of the powders. All powders had average particle size ranging from 13.1 to 13.4 nm, which agglomerated into clusters with average sizes ranging from 103 to 140 nm. A slight increase of band gap energy was observed at higher tin concentration. The most prominent photocatalytic activities, determined from decomposition of methylene blue, was found in the titanium dioxide powder with 2.5 mol% Sn.

A novel metal-oxide photocatalyst, ZnBiVO4, was investigated for the photodecomposition of hydrogen sulfide. ZnBiVO4 was prepared using the solid-state method, as well as a solution route for the first time. Oxides of zinc, bismuth, and vanadium were used for the solid-state method, whereas the respective metal salts were used as precursors for the solution route synthesis. The microstructure of the newly prepared ZnBiVO4 was examined using XRD and FESEM. Tetragonal and monoclinic crystallite systems were observed in this ternary oxide system. Nanocrystalline ZnBiVO4 was obtained through the solution route. The catalyst was also characterized using UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to evaluate its band gap. Photodecomposition of H2S using this catalyst was observed for the first time. The influence of preparation methods on the photocatalytic activity of ZnBiVO4 was examined and it was observed that the ZnBiVO4 prepared by the solution route led to a higher photocatalytic activity during H2S decomposition. It is noteworthy that the hydrogen evolution was enhanced by 100% using ZnBiVO4 prepared by the solution route as compared with the ZnBiVO4 prepared by the solid-state method.Key words: photocatalyst, ZnBiVO4, hydrogen sulfide, metal oxide, photodecomposition.
