Enhancement of titania by doping rare earth for ...
The crystalline phase of each parent TiO 2 and lanthanide ions-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles prepared by sol–gel was determined by XRD ().In parent titania and all lanthanide ions/TiO 2 photocatalysts, the figure presents a group of lines at 2θ values of 25.2°, 37.5°, 47.7°, 53.3°, 54.7° and 62° which are attributed to anatase phase. No diffraction peaks of lanthanide oxides in the ...
