Abstract
Iron titanium oxides with different Ti:Fe ratios (molar ratio: 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3) have been prepared by chemical coprecipitation process. The structures and properties of the samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer and UV-vis spectrophotometer. Results show that the samples annealed at 460 °C have poor crystallinity. At 550 °C, the crystallinity of all the samples increased strikingly. The iron titanium oxides contained anatase TiO2, rutile TiO2, α-Fe2O3and/or Fe2TiO5. Ti:Fe ratios have a great influence on the detailed phase compositions of each sample. The iron titanium oxides exhibited paramagnetism and the intensity of magnetization increased with the increasing content of Fe. Band gap energies of the oxides changed slightly with increasing content of Fe with an average value of 2.0 eV, obviously lower than that of TiO2.
