Effect of metal-doping of TiO2 nanoparticles on their photocatalytic activities toward removal of organic dyes
M-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (M = Cu, Zn) were prepared by the sol–gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FT-IR and UV–vis spectroscopy techniques were used to characterize the samples. Photocatalytic activities of samples for methyl orange (MO) degradation and the ch...
