Neodymium-Doped TiO2 with Anatase and Brookite Two Phases: Mechanism for Photocatalytic Activity Enhancement under Visible Light and the Role of Electron
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) doped with neodymium (Nd), one rare earth element, has been synthesized by a sol-gel method for the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine-B under visible light. The prepared samples are characterized by X-ray diffractometer, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance sp...
