Abstract

Electrical properties and enhancement of photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanorods doped with SiO2

Highlights

IntroductionNumerous investigations and studies have been recently devoted to titania and its various applications such as water photosplitting, photodegradation, photovoltaic systems, etc.[1,2,3]
Experimental data indicate that synthesis of pure and silicon oxide-doped titania nanorods by the sol-gel route is a competent method for manufacturing photocatalytic and high dielectric material
The results show that phase transformation of titania depends on the calcination temperature (CT)

Summary

Introduction

Numerous investigations and studies have been recently devoted to titania and its various applications such as water photosplitting, photodegradation, photovoltaic systems, etc.[1,2,3]. It can enhance to make new catalytic sites because of the lattice and structure interaction between titania and silicon oxide,[9] and to create a large surface and an appropriate porous structure.[6]. TTIP : TEOS = 74 to specify the photocatalytic activity of the titania nanorods doped with silicon oxide. Reaction suspensions are prepared by adding 50 mg of pure and doped titania nanorods that calcined at three different CTs as a photocatalyst into 100 mL of MB aqueous solution.
