Degradation Of Methyl Orange

The uniform and transparent nano-crystalline thin films of pure and co-doped with Fe3+/Sn4+ titanium dioxide photo-catalysts were prepared via sol-gel dip-coating process, and were loaded firmly on the surface of glass substrates. The structure and surface morphology of films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In particular, the photo-catalytic activity of films was measured by ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectrophotometer. Methyl orange was used as a model compound to study the photo-catalytic activity of films. The effects of the concentrations of doping ions and the number of layers on photo-catalytic degradation of methyl orange solutions were investigated. Experimental results showed clearly that the co-doping of iron and tin ions exhibited a synergistic effect, which increased significantly the photo-catalytic activity of titanium dioxide. Especially, the photo-catalytic activity of nano-crystalline titanium dioxide thin films co-doped with 0.1 mol%Fe3+ and 11.41mol%Sn4+ was 2.0 times higher than that of those un-doped for photo-degradation of methyl orange solutions under the 125W self-ballasted fluorescent high-pressure mercury lamp irradiation.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

Nano-size Ag-N co-doped ZnO-CuO composites have been synthesized and tested for their photo-catalytic activity towards degradation of methyl orange in aqueous solution under visible as well as UV radiations. Crystal structure, surface functional groups, metallic composition and band structure of as-synthesized nano-material were investigated using XRD, FTIR, AAS and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques, respectively. Ag-N co-doped ZnO-CuO photocatalyst showed higher photo-catalytic activity than Ag- or N-doped and undoped composite photocatalysts. The observed highest activity of Ag-N co-doped ZnO-CuO among the studied photo-catalysts, is attributed to the cumulative effects of lowering of band-gap energy and decrease of recombination rate of photo-generated electrons and holes owing to doped N and Ag, respectively. Effects of photo-catalyst load, solution pH and substrate initial concentration on the degradation of methyl orange have also been studied.

Heating Treatment

In this paper the Li+, Sb3+-doped SiO2-TiO2 thin films, which were heat-treated with an applied electric field, were prepared by sol-gel dip coating. The crystallization of the thin films in the electric field heating-treatment was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The photo-catalytic activity of SiO2-TiO2 films was studied under the condition of an electric field heating-treatment and mixing with some additive such as Li+ and Sb3+. Finally, studies on photo-catalytic degradation showed that the Li+, Sb3+-doped SiO2-TiO2 films on the quartz glass, of high photo-catalytic activity, were successfully obtained in the electric field heating-treatment.

Titanium dioxide nanorods have been prepared by sol-gel templatemethod. The structural and surface morphology of the TiO2 nanorods wasinvestigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy(AFM), it was found that the nanorods produced were anatase TiO2 phase.The photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 nanorods was evaluated by thephoto degradation of methyl orange (MO). The relatively higherdegradation efficiency for MO (D%=78.2) was obtained after 6h of exposedto UV irradiation.

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.

Sol-gel technique is used to synthesize as-grown zinc oxide (ZnO) and iron-nickel (Fe-Ni) co-doped ZnO thin films deposited on glass substrates using dip coating technique. The structural properties and crystal imperfections of as-prepared thin films are investigated. We performed the structural analysis of films using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD analysis reveal that the as-prepared films exhibit wurtzite structure. Furthermore, XRD-line profile analysis is performed to study the correlation between structural properties and imperfections of the nanocomposite thin films. The crystallite size and microstrains parameters are predicted using the Williamson–Hall method. We found that the crystallites size increases as the co-doped (Fe-Ni) concentration is increased. However, microstrains of the nanocomposite films decreases as (Fe-Ni) concentration is increased. The optical properties of the (Fe-Ni) co-doped nanocomposite films are investigated by performing UV-Vis (250 nm–700 nm) spectrophotometer measurements. We found that as the (Fe-Ni) concentration level is steadily increased, transmittance of the undoped ZnO thin films is decreased. Remarkably, refractive index of undoped ZnO thin films is found to exhibit values extending from 1.55 to1.88 that would increase as (Fe-Ni) concentration is increased.
