Vanadium-doped TiO2 adsorbent-photocatalyst for organic dye treatment

This study focuses on the synthesis of V-doped TiO2 materials using a modified polyol method to enhance their efficiency. The obtained materials were characterized by various methods such as XRD, EDX, FTIR, SEM, TEMSAED, Raman, and UV-Vis DRS. The results indicated the crystalline anatase phase of TiO2, with spherical morphology and an average size of 30nm. The UV-DRS measurement demonstrated that doped materials have a lower bandgap than the pristine TiO2.
