fe/ti-codoped strontium oxide nanoparticles for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange

This study presents a method for enhancing the photocatalytic properties of strontium oxide (sro) nanoparticles (nps) through doping with iron (fe) and titanium (ti) ions using hydrothermal synthesis. the materials were characterized using a range of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to ensure accurate analysis of their structure and composition. photocatalytic efficiencies of the as-synthesized materials were evaluated against the degradation of methyl orange dye, achieving about 98 % removal in 90 min with 3 % doped material. the degradation efficiency was found to be dependent on several factors including ph, initial dye concentration, and catalyst dosage. optimal conditions were determined to be a ph of 4, an initial dye concentration of 20 mg/l, and a catalyst dosage of 150 mg. these findings suggest that the fe/ti-codoped sro nanoparticles hold significant potential for applications in environmental cleanup processes, particularly in the degradation of organic pollutants. the study provides valuable insights into the synthesis and application of doped nanoparticles in photocatalysis, highlighting their efficiency and the importance of optimizing reaction conditions to maximize performance.
