Titania Photocatalyst Reduction Oxidation e- h+ cb vb ~3.2ev (UV light) Electron-Hole recombination is on the order of < 30ps, hence efficiency is low (< 5%). Efficiency of photocatalysis depends on how well one can prevent this charge recombination

Role of metal in metal/titania nanocomposites h+ cb vb metal ~3.2ev (UV light) Oxidation Metal nanoparticles act as an electron sink, promoting interfacial charge transfer reducing charge recombination P. V. Kamat. J. Phys.Chem. B., 2002, 106, 7729-7744

Photocatalysis Experiments

Role of metal in Metal/Doped-Titania Photocatalyst Oxidation Reduction e- h+ cb vb Fe3+/4+ Fe2+/3+ Silver h+ (Visible light) At the plasmon resonance frequency there would be efficient resonance light absorption. Band-gap excitation wavelength should reasonably match silver plasmon resonance frequency

Conclusions Titania coated silver nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel technique. Fe3+- doped Titania that is sensitive to visible light was synthesized. From the degradation of sulforhodamine dye experiments true doping effect was observed in the Fe3+- doped Titania photocatalyst Efforts are underway to coat silver nanoparticles with Fe3+- doped Titania . Photocatalytic activity of Fe3+- doped Titania and silver coated with Fe3+- doped Titania will be compared.
