Abstract
The pristine anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) and transition metal (i.e. Cu and Co) co–doped anatase titanium dioxide nanoparticles (Ti0.988Cu0.002Co0.01O2) were synthesized using sol–gel auto–combustion technique. Structural, optical and dielectric properties have been studied to understand the effect of dopants across TiO2 lattice. X–ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld refinements confirm the formation of tetragonal structure having I41/amd space group, and crystallite size for co–doped TiO2 nanoparticles falls ~12.68 nm which has been further verified by Raman spectroscopy. UV visible spectroscopy was performed to estimate the band gap energy that gets reduced from ~3.2 eV for TiO2 to ~1.7 eV for co–doped TiO2 nanoparticles. Dielectric constant, dielectric loss and ac conductivity for co–doped TiO2 sample are explained in terms of crystallite size, related grain boundaries and their nature.
期刊介绍:
The primary objective of the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology (JSST), the official journal of the International Sol-Gel Society, is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of scientific, technological, and general knowledge about materials processed by chemical nanotechnologies known as the "sol-gel" process. The materials of interest include gels, gel-derived glasses, ceramics in form of nano- and micro-powders, bulk, fibres, thin films and coatings as well as more recent materials such as hybrid organic-inorganic materials and composites. Such materials exhibit a wide range of optical, electronic, magnetic, chemical, environmental, and biomedical properties and functionalities. Methods for producing sol-gel-derived materials and the industrial uses of these materials are also of great interest.
