Preparation and Photocatalytic Property of Nd-TiO2 Thin Films Prepared by Sol-Gel Dip Coating

Article Preview

Abstract:

Uniform and highly adherent thin films of TiO2 and Nd-TiO2 were deposited on high silica fiber by sol-gel dip coating method in this study. The surface morphology and properties of synthesized composites films were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and XPS. The photocatalytic reactivity studies of TiO2 and Nd-TiO2 films were evaluated by photodegradation of the methyl orange (MO) under ultraviolet irradiation. The results shown that neodymium doped TiO2 films have higher photodegradation efficiency than that pure TiO2 films. The photocatalyst on high silica fiber have a higher photocatalytic activity compare to the glass due to it is light-guide fiber.
