Synthesis Of Cobalt Doped Titania Nano Materials Assisted By Various Surfactants: Characterization And Its Applications In Photocatalytic Degradation Of Acid Red And Antibacterial Activity.

摘要

This paper presents about the synthesis of (0.25-1.0) wt.% cobalt doped titania nanomaterials without surfactants: pure Co2+/TiO2 and in presence of 1,4-Butane sultone and 1,3-Propane sultone Anionic Gemini surfactants and CTAB (Heterogemini surfactant)-0.5wt.%Co2+/TiO2-HgS(1&2).The synthesized nano photocatalysts have been characterized by using various advanced techniques like X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Ultraviolet-visible Diffuse Reflection Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic Studies (FT-IR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
