Electro-Catalytic Reduction Performance of La-Doped Nano-TiO₂ Electrode

Abstract:

Homogeneous and transparent lanthanum La-doped TiO2 nanocrystalline thin films were deposited on pure titanium substrates by sol gel dip coating method. The surface structures, morphologies and electrocatalytic activities of the prepared nano-TiO2 film electrodes were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results demonstrated that the optimum molar proportion of La was 0.5%. This optimum La-nanoTiO2 electrode (Ti/0.5%La nano-TiO2) showed a higher electrocatalytic activity than the undoped nano-TiO2 electrode (Ti/nano-TiO2)
