Popis: We have prepared iron doped TiO 2 samples by the impregnation of TiO 2 (Degussa—P25) with Fe(III) nitrate as an iron precursor. Obtained materials were then characterized by structural x-ray diffraction (XRD) and optical (Uv-vis, Raman) techniques. Later, we deposited very small gold nanoparticles (AuNPs; nm) onto as-prepared supports by a colloidal deposition method, in which lysine was used as a capping agent and a short sonication time was applied to facilitate the dispersion and deposition of AuNPs. The presence of Fe +3 in the TiO 2 structure was confirmed by an increase in the number of oxygen defect sites that react with O 2 to form reactive oxygen species. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to determine the size of the gold particles before and after deposition. The AuNPs deposited on the FeTiO2 exhibited good thermal stability against sintering, even at 500 °C for 4 h.
