Metal doped TiO2 catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel method and their activities were determined for degradation of methyl orang as a pollutant. Nd-doped TiO2 showed the maximum activity comparing with others. Colloidal SiO2 was used as a support to increase the surface area and also the activity. Nano-TiO2/SiO2/Nd was synthesized by sol-gel method and it was characterized using XRD, XRF, SEM...

Iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles were prepared by combination of sol-gel autocombustion and ultrasonic irradiation. The XRD pattern reveals that the crystallite size of sample is 36.7 nm and the phase identification shows hematite, syn has been crystalized. The morphology of the sample investigated by FESEM showed that particle size of the sample was about 76 nm. The optic...

In this work, TiO2/Ti composite films were fabricated by 2-setp MCT and the following high temperature oxidation. Antibacterial activity of the composite films treated by ultrasonic cleaning to increase the performance reliability was examined. The prepared TiO2/Ti composite films showed high photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methylene blue solution. It is obvious that TiO2/Ti compo...
