Article Synopsis
- Cerium (Ce) and europium (Eu)-doped TiO thin films were made using a sol-gel dip-coating method, resulting in surfaces with agglomerated particles, and displaying the TiO anatase phase in XRD patterns.
- The doped photocatalysts (Ce-TiO at 1wt% and Eu-TiO at 0.1wt%) showed lower electron transfer resistance in EIS measurements, which enhances the separation of electron-hole pairs during photoreactions.
- The Eu-TiO (0.1wt%) demonstrated the highest photocatalytic activity in degrading amido black 10B dye under UV light, achieving a 98.94% removal rate at optimal conditions, outperform
