Morphology and Degradation Kinetics of N-Doped TiO₂ Nano Particle Synthesized Using Sonochemical Method

Abstract:

Nano particle of N-doped TiO₂ with the size of 21.42 nm was successfully created using sonochemical method. Concentration of Nitrogen (N) doping on TiO₂ was calculated using mole ratio of Urea and TTiP. Doping variations were performed by doping 5% to 9% N, and did not change the crystallite size and strain. The nanoparticle produced has a polycrystalline structure with a dominant diffraction peak (101). Doping N into TiO₂ affects the morphology of particle surface, thus tending to shrink. Results of photo catalysis on liquid samples of MB 20 ppm dye indicate that the addition of N improves the degradation ability of TiO₂, with the highest value on sample T5 of 85% and with a rate of degradation kinetics of 0.024 ppm/minute.
