Abstract

Iron-doped titanium dioxide (Fe-TiO₂) nanomaterials were prepared with the stable fibrous nanostructure of self-assembled bola-type amphiphilic short peptide KI₃E as organic templateand aminopropyl triethoxysilane as structure-directing agent via sol-gel process to ensure the simultaneous deposition of the titanium dioxide precursor and iron ions on the surface of the peptide templates. The Fe doped-TiO₂ nanomaterials were fully characterized by Transmission electron microscope, UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer. The results show that iron ions instead of partial titanium ions in the crystal lattice of titanium dioxide, which narrows the band gap of TiO₂ and results in enhanced visible light responses. The test results of photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B and methylene blue indicated that the Fe doped-TiO₂ possessed significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance, compared to the commercial TiO₂ (P25), while reached a maximum when the doping content of iron ions was 0.5%.

Key words: inorganic non-metallic materials titanium dioxide iron-doping bola amphiphilic short-peptide photocatalysis
