The effect of sintering temperature on mesoporous structure of WO3 doped TiO2 powders

In this study, WO3 doped TiO2 powders were synthesized via sol-gel method combined with a hydrothermal process. The effect of sintering temperature on mesoporous structure and catalytic activities of these powders were investigated. The physical analysis via X-ray diffraction indicates that...

description In this study, WO3 doped TiO2 powders were synthesized via sol-gel method combined with a hydrothermal process. The effect of sintering temperature on mesoporous structure and catalytic activities of these powders were investigated. The physical analysis via X-ray diffraction indicates that prepared samples are a mixture of anatase and rutile TiO2 phases. X-ray peak analysis is used to evaluate the crystallite size and lattice strain by the Williamson-Hall analysis. Considering all the reflections of the anatase phase the lattice strain ranging from c = 9.505 to c = 9.548 is calculated, suggesting that microstrain decreases when calcination temperature increases. N2 adsorption-desorption analysis shows that the surface area and pore volume decrease with increasing temperature and that WOx-TiO2 powders primarily consist of mesopores. Sintering temperature induced a change in textural properties causing a systematic shift towards larger mesopores. Simultaneously, photoactivity in decolorization of methyl orange increases with increasing calcination temperature up to 700°C, followed by significant decrease with its further increase.
