    Ti-doped indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles (TITO) with different molar ratios of Ti:ITO were synthesized by co-precipitation method using Ti(OCH2CH2CH2CH3)4, InCl3 and SnCl4·5H2O as starting precursors. Deionized (DI) water was selected as the solvent in this process. The as-precipitated powders were calcined at different temperature in range of 700 °C for 2 h. For all samples, their crystal structures, Optical property and morphologies were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. XRD results reveal that the purity of as-synthesized sample is increased by the increase of calcination temperatures. Moreover, it is noticed that the incorporation of Ti into ITO matrix significantly affects to their relevant physical properties especially optical properties. In addition, SEM micrographs show that the sample agglomeration is noticeably influenced by Ti doping content.

    Ti-doped indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles (TITO) with different molar ratios of Ti:ITO were synthesised by co-precipitation method using Ti(OCH<inf>2</inf>CH<inf>2</inf>CH<inf>2</inf>CH<inf>3</inf>)<inf>4</inf>, InCl<inf>3</inf> and SnCl<inf>4</inf>·5H<inf>2</inf>O as starting precursors. Deionised (DI) water was selected as the solvent in this process. The as-precipitated powders were calcined at different temperatures around 700°C for 2 h. For all samples, their crystal structures, optical properties and morphologies were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. XRD results reveal that the purity of as-synthesised samples is increased with the increase of calcination temperatures. Relevant mechanisms involved in the synthesis via precipitation process are discussed. It is noticed that the incorporation of Ti into ITO matrix significantly affects the relevant physical properties and optical properties.

    In this work, co-precipitation method was utilised to synthesise Cu-doped ZnO nanoparticles using zinc nitrate (Zn(NO<inf>3</inf>)2·6H <inf>2</inf>O), and copper(II) nitrate trihydrate (Cu(NO<inf>3</inf>)2·3 H<inf>2</inf>O) as starting precursors for Zn and Cu sources, respectively. Structural and physical properties of as-prepared powders were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES). The XRD results reveal that Cu-doped ZnO nanopowders are in hexagonal wurtzite structure and their crystallinity deteriorates with increasing Cu doping content. FTIR results additionally show the existence of relevant chemical bonding in the samples. Meanwhile, XPS and XANES results indicate the existence of Cu ion with relevant electronic state in ZnO. Optical properties of the samples were investigated and the corresponding results suggest that Cu additive plays a crucial role in their optical properties that can be adjusted to meet the requirement for practical solar energy harvesting applications such as sun-light photocatalyst. The photocatalytic activity of as-prepared Cu-doped ZnO photocatalyst was investigated by the degradation of Rhodamine B solution. The catalyst with 6% Cu doping content exhibits the enhancement in photocatalytic activity with reaction rate of 0.0267 min-1. The significant improvement in photocatalytic activity of the doped sample may be associated to the increase of functional hydroxyl radicals due to the incorporation of specific content Cu dopant.
