A simple method for synthesis of S-doped Ti[O.sub.2] of high photocatalytic activity

S-doped Ti[O.sub.2] samples were synthesized by use of thiourea. The elemental analysis was confirmed by X-ray fluorescence, the phases were identified by X-ray diffraction and further characterization was carried out by surface area measurement and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity w...

Description
Summary:S-doped Ti[O.sub.2] samples were synthesized by use of thiourea. The elemental analysis was confirmed by X-ray fluorescence, the phases were identified by X-ray diffraction and further characterization was carried out by surface area measurement and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity was measured by exposing methylene blue to sunlight in the presence of Ti[O.sub.2]. It was observed that the S-doped anatase phase showed high photocatalytic activity in comparison to other samples.
