Solvothermal synthesis of Fe-C codoped TiO2 for visible-light photocatalytic degradation of emerging organic contaminants
In this study, a highly visible-light photoactive Fe-C codoped TiO2 was synthesized using a solvothermal method. The effects of Fe content and calcination temperature were evaluated. The prepared samples were characterized by various techniques, including X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmet-Teller ana...
