Title A name given to the resource Investigation on the phase transformation and lattice parameters of Sn 2+ , Cu 2+ , La 3+ and Ce 4+ ions doped titania: characterization and solar light activity study Subject The topic of the resource Modified titania; Photocatalytic degradation; Solar light; Titania Description An account of the resource Nanocrystalline titania and metal ion doped titania systems were prepared by combustion method. Titania exhibited bicrystalline phase consisting of both anatase and rutile. The bicrystalline framework in TiO 2 powders can be conveniently altered by the incorporation of various bivalent/trivalent/tetravalent metal ions like Sn 2+ , Cu 2+ , La 3+ and Ce 4+ . The microstructure development and the influence of small amount of dopants on the resulting structural change have been investigated. p-XRD results confirms the stabilization of anatase phase in the case of Cu 2+ and Sn 2+ doped titania, while the polymorphic interfaces were retained in La 3+ and Ce 4+ doped titania samples. The efficacy of the modified titania was studied on the degradation of Congo Red dye by harvesting solar light. Sn 2+ /TiO 2 shows almost same photodegradation ability as that of pristine TiO 2. Subsistence of catalytic hot spots at the interface of anatase-rutile and the synergistic effect of polymorphic phases explains the enhanced activity of La 3+ /TiO 2 and Ce 4+ /TiO 2 . But the activity of Cu 2+ /TiO 2 was found to be less due to high electron-hole recombination rate. 2019 Elsevier GmbH Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sunaja Devi K.R.; Mohan M.K.; Pinheiro D.; Rajan R.; Nizam A.; Sugunan S.
