摘要

Herein, the pure, cerium (Ce)-doped, Ce/magnesium (Mg)-codoped and Ce/nickel (Ni)-codoped TiO2 nanomaterials were synthesized using the sol–gel technique followed by calcination at the temperature of 550 °C. The concentration of Ce was maintained at 1% by weight in all doped TiO2 nanomaterials, and the concentration of Mg and Ni were equal to that of Ce in the codoped TiO2 nanomaterials. The nanomaterials underwent characterization through techniques including X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance UV–Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and Raman spectroscopy. The photocatalytic performance of the synthesized materials was assessed in terms of their ability to degrade Congo Red (CR), Rhodamine B, and Methyl Violet dyes when exposed to UV light. The findings revealed that the codoped samples exhibited significantly higher photocatalytic efficiency compared to Ce-doped TiO2. Particularly, the sample codoped with Ce and Ni demonstrated the highest degradation rate of CR dye, reaching 85.92% within 60 min.
