The Influence of Fe3+ Doping on the Crystallization of TiO2 and their Photocatalytic Activity

Article Preview

Abstract:

TiO2 photocatalysts doped by Fe3+ with different contents were prepared by adsorption phase synthesis. The influence of Fe3+ doping with various concentrations on the crystallization of TiO2 was explored by XRD. Then photodegradation experiments of methyl-orange were employed to evaluate the activity of these photocatalysts. The results indicated that the crystallization of TiO2 was restricted after doping, due to replacement of Ti4+ in TiO2 lattice structure by Fe3+ ions. And the restriction became stronger with doping concentration of Fe3+ ions increasing. Since radius of Fe3+ was close to Ti4+, the restriction of Fe3+ doping on crystallization of TiO2 was so stronger that the photocatalytic activity of most TiO2 doped with Fe3+ ions was lower than that of TiO2 without doping.
