摘要：AbstractObjectives: The present work aims at the synthesis of metal-doped and undoped titania photocatalysts for the degradation of methylene blue and neutral red dyes.Methods: Un-doped and metal-doped titania photocatalysts were synthesized by hydrothermal treatment, calcined at 673 K, and were evaluated by SEM, XRD, and XPS techniques for their phase composition.Results and conclusions: XPS studies of photo catalysts confirmed the presence of transition metal ions of Co, Ni, and Zn as dopants along with titania. XRD analysis indicated that all the synthesized photocatalysts were in the anatase phase. The morphology of prepared photocatalysts was confirmed through SEM analysis. The synthesized nanoparticle’s photocatalytic nature was examined through testing their degradation potentials of methylene blue and neutral red dyes under UV light irradiation. Under optimized conditions, like pH, contact time, initial dye concentration and catalyst amount metal-doped titania photocatalysts showed higher photodegradation efficiency than the pure parental material. Among the metal doped titania best results were obtained with Ni doped titania as 90% and 95% degradation were observed for neutral red and methylene blue dyes respectively. This photocatalyst can therefore be used successfully to degrade the selected dyes present in industrial effluents.
