Nano-TiO2 photocatalyst powders were prepared through the sol-gel method and supercritical fluid drying(SCFD). The TG-DTA、XRD、particle size distribution technique、SEM were used to characterize the hyperfine TiO2 particles.The lanthanum-doped TiO2 with different mass percentage of La3+ were compared with pure TiO2 when used as photocatalyst in degradation of methyl orange. The best catalytic activity was observed with 0.02(mol)%La-TiO2. Photocatalytic efficiency of the 0.02(mol)%La- TiO2 is improved by 30.79% comparing to pure TiO2.
