Room-Temperature Synthesis of Iron-Doped Anatase TiO2 for Lithium-Ion Batteries and Photocatalysis
Résumé
Iron-doped nanocrystalline particles of anatase TiO2 have been successfully synthesized using a complete room-temperature synthetic approach, leading to particles of high surface area (280 m2/g) and a narrowed band gap of 2.3 eV. These particles were introduced for photocatalysis under white light in standard conditions (AM1. 5G) and in lithium-ion batteries to reveal in these two aspects the pros and cons of the doping effect.
