Spectroscopic Studies on Carboxylates of Titanium in Solid State
Keywords:
Titanium, CarboxylatesAbstract
Titanium isopropoxide, boric acid, and deionized water were mixed together in the right proportions and subjected to the Sol gel process in order to make nano-sized Boron doped Titanium dioxide (B-TiO2) particles. A calcination procedure was performed on the samples, which lasted for five hours and had a temperature of 500 degrees Celsius throughout its entirety. The findings of X-ray diffraction (XRD) have demonstrated that it is possible for anatase and rutile phases of manufactured nanoparticles to coexist at the same location at the same time. The full width at half maximum measurement that was carried out utilising the XRD led to the conclusion that the size of B-TiO2 nanoparticles was 20.77 nm. This led to the conclusion that the size of B-TiO2 nanoparticles was 20.77 nm. The method of UV-vis spectroscopy was used in order to arrive at a value of 3.42 eV for the band gap energy of the boron-doped anatase nanoparticle. This was accomplished in order to get at the conclusion that the nanoparticle possessed a band gap. We were able to determine this by analysing the wavelength of the light that was emitted by the substance. The FTIR method was applied to analyse both the powdered form of B-TiO2 as well as the form of B-TiO2 that had been capped with citric acid. In the course of researching B-TiO2 nanoparticles with Raman spectroscopy, it was discovered that the particles include a phase mixture that is composed of both anatase and rutile.
