______________________________________________________________________________Pure and Fe(III)-doped TiO 2 suspensions were prepared by the sol gel method with the use of titanium isopropoxide (Ti(OPri) 4 ) as precursor material. The properties of doped materials were compared to TiO 2 properties based on the characterization by thermal analysis (TG-DTA and DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry and spectroscopy measurements (FTIR). Both undoped and doped TiO 2 suspensions were used to coat metallic substrate as a mean to make thin-film electrodes. Thermal treatment of the precursors at 400°C for 2 h in air resulted in the formation of nanocrystalline anatase TiO 2 . The thin-film electrodes were tested with respect to their photocatalytic performance for degradation of a textile dye in aqueous solution. The plain TiO 2 remains as the best catalyst at the conditions used in this report.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
