Borotellurite bio-silica glasses doped by erbium nanoparticles: Structural and thermal properties

[{[(TeO2)0.8 (B2O3)0.2]0.8 (SiO2)0.2}0.99 (Ag2O)0.01]1−y – (Er2O3 NPs)y, and y=0.01,0.02,0.03,0.04 and 0.05 mole% were fabricated by the melt quenching technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to verify and confirm the glasses’ non-crystallinity. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) proved the achievement of silicate of 98.6% quality from rice husk. Fourier transform infrared d (FTIR) results exposed the basic structural […]

Effect of hydrothermal temperature on the photocatalytic activity of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles

We report the significance of hydrothermal temperature of TiO2 nanoparticles on the crystallinity, band gap and the photocatalytic degradation of congo red dye. These nanoparticles are synthesized by hydrothermal method at 120 ˚C, 140 ˚C and 160 ˚C. The anatase phases of the samples are confirmed from the X-ray diffraction pattern and the surface morphology […]
