Abstract

La/Ti mixed oxides with weight ratios of 1:9, 2:8, 3:7, and 4:6 were prepared by sol-gel method. The photocatalytic activity of La/Ti oxides was evaluated based on the pCBA photodecomposition. The catalyst samples were characterized by XRD, TEM, DRS, BET, and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Particles of the La/Ti-mixed oxides showed the diameter of about 7 nm. We found that 30% doping of lanthanum ions on the TiO₂ powders induced the highest pCBA (4-chlorobenzonic acid) photodecomposition in these experimental conditions. The order of its photoactivity was as following: 30 > 20 > 0 > 10 > 40 wt%, which was the same for PL tendency. Also, PL spectra intensity increased with calcination temperature from 500 to 600 °C, then decreased at 700 °C. Phtotcatalytic activity followed the trend of the PL spectra intensity. The modification of TiO₂ surface by lanthanum ion made it possible to enhance the photoactivity by retarding the recombination of photoexcited electron/hole pairs, in the result of the higher photoactivity in the stronger PL intensity.
