Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" id="abs0005"> <title id="sect0005">Graphical abstract</title> <sec> <p id="spar0035">Three metal ions doped TiO₂ particles were synthesized using facile sol–gel method. The optical absorption spectrum and photocatalysis kinetics for rhodamine B under solar light illumination of the as-prepared TiO₂ catalyst are shown in the illustration. It indicates a gradual change in the colour and photo-degradation efficiency of different samples, which is accordance with the diffuse reflection spectra results shown in the figure. The effect of dopants existence on physical chemistry properties of the doped TiO₂ particles was investigated.</p> <p id="spar0040"> <fig id="fig0030" position="anchor"> <graphic position="anchor" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgkftqcv5s" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /> </fig> </p> </sec> </abstract>
