The Scientific interest of rare earth elements is constantly increasing owing to its multifold applications. Europium is a significant rare earth element which has a strong local magnetic moment and also exhibit phosphorescence. In this study the significance of Europium was further explored in photocatalytic aspect by doping it on Titanium dioxide nanoparticle. Eu doped TiO2 was synthesized using Psidium guajava leaf extract as a reducing agent. The synthesized nano particle was characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, Edax and FTIR techniques. The characterization data confirmed the formation of the Eu doped nanoparticle. The photocatalytic efficiency of Eu was determined by comparing the degradation rate of methylene blue dye using nano TiO2 catalyst with and without Europium as dopant. Eu doped TiO2 showed greater photocatalytic efficiency when compared to the undoped nanomaterial. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
