Abstract

Iron doped TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared under the high temperature and pressure conditions by mixture of metal nitrates solution and TiO2 sol. Fe doped TiO2 particles were reaction at the temperature range of 170°C–200°C for 6 h. The microstructure and phase of synthesized particles were studied by SEM(FE-SEM), TEM and XRD. Thermal properties of the synthesized particles were investigated by TG-DTA analysis. Also, Specific Surface Area of synthesized particles were studied by BET analysis. X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the synthesized particles shows the coexistence of anatase and rutile reaction at the temperature range of 170°C to 200°C for 6 h. The amount of rutile phase on the synthesized particles increased with decreasing Ag concentration in solution because the less a content of the transposition metal, the easier to phase transition in the same temperature condition. The average size and distribution of the synthesized particles was about 10nm and narrow, respectively. The average size of the synthesized particles increased as reaction temperature increased. Also, BET surface areas of synthesized particles by a hydrothermal process were found to be larger than that of pure TiO2 which is synthesized by a sol-gel process.
