Abstract |
Rare earth doped TiO2 catalytic material has promising applications in the effective degradation of organic pollutants. Lanthanum doped TiO2 films were prepared by a facile solvothermal method using tetrabutyl titanate as titanium source. And facets were controlled by preferably non-metallic ion modulating agent. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize the structures, morphologies etc. of the products. The photocatalytic performances of the products were measured by degradation of methylene blue as the model organics. A series of characterizations illustrate that combining modification of doping can improve the photocatalytic performance to varying degrees. Importantly, the La doped TiO2 films show great potential in detoxification of harmful pollutants in wastewaters and other catalytic applications. |
