A novel one-step preparation of sonochemical method was applied to synthesize Co/Zn co-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles using a sonicator of 750 W, 20 kHz for 30 min at room temperature. The formation of the anatase TiO<inf>2</inf> phase for all as-prepared samples was observed from XRD results with a crystalline size in nanoscale. The use of ultrasound allowed for the successful doping of both Co and Zn into the TiO<inf>2</inf> lattice, which was confirmed by Synchrotron light including X-ray near edge structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. Ti K-edge, Co K-edge, and Zn K-edge XANES spectra exhibited the dominating +4, +2, and +2 valence state of Ti, Co, and Zn in as-prepared samples, respectively. A detailed XANES and EXAFS data analysis give strong evidence that the Co/Zn dopants partially replace the Ti atom of the TiO<inf>2</inf> host. The Co/Zn co-doping extends the light absorption of the host to the visible region and restricts the e+/h+ recombination. The photocatalytic activity of samples was tested for degradation of Rhodamine B dye solution under visible light irradiation. The as-synthesized of the co-doped catalyst was presented as highly efficient, with 2.5 and 5 times dye degradation compared with single-doped and bare TiO<inf>2</inf>.

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles dual doped with zinc and manganese were prepared by the single step of sonochemical method using the sonicator with 20 kHz and 750 W for 30 min. Phase structure analysis results showed that the pure anatase phase was detected for all prepared samples. TEM analysis reveals the nanosized structure with uniformity of nanoparticles. The calculated bandgap energies change to be below the typical band gap energy of bare TiO<inf>2</inf> and single doped sample suggesting high ability to harvest visible light. X-ray absorption spectroscopy was conducted to investigate the electronics structure and to study the local structure of prepared samples. XANES results confirmed the existence of Ti4+ ions in all prepared samples with anatase crystal structure. EXAFS analysis indicates the Ti4+ site was substituted by Mn and Zn dopant ions. The photocatalytic performance was evaluated by degradation of Rhodamine B dye solution under visible light irradiation. The results revealed that the dually Mn–Zn doped TiO<inf>2</inf> sample exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity comparing to single doped and pure TiO<inf>2</inf>. The complete degradation of dye was achieved at optimum condition of 1 mol%-Zn and 2 mol%-Mn molar ratio. The highest photodegradation rate constant was found to be 0.0238 min−1, which is 10 times greater than pure-TiO<inf>2</inf> samples.

ZnTiO<inf>3</inf> (ZTO) as a perovskite structure doped with Co and Mn were fabricated by sonochemical process. Structural phase, chemical and local atomic structure and photocatalytic activity of the synthesized samples were characterized, by X-ray diffraction, by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and Rhodamine B (RhB) dye degradation. The XRD results revealed that the mixing phases of cubic and hexagonal zinc titanate phases were found in all samples. The X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure technique (EXAFS) have been used to identify the crystal and atomic local structure of prepared samples. The Fourier transform EXAFS results of these prepared samples agreed well with the model of Co and Mn substituting at the B-site of ABO<inf>3</inf> structure together with small cluster of CoO and Mn<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> cluster. The photocatalytic activity for rhodamine b dye degradation under visible light irradiation exhibited that the doped samples had the superior degradation compared to bare-ZTO sample. The results suggest that the incorporation of transition metal ions of Co and Mn dopants is an effective way to improve the catalytic efficiency of perovskite ZTO structure. The effect of different dopant ions and dopant concentration on the structural, chemical, optical and photocatalytic activity are discussed.

M-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles (M=Co, Mn, Ni and Zn) were synthesized by co-precipitation method combined with annealing at 500 °C for 2 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify their structural phases. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) was conducted to probe the chemical state and crystal atomic structure of prepared samples. Magnetic properties of all samples were characterized by vibrating sample magnetrometer (VSM). The XRD analyses reveal that all samples crystallize in anatase tetragonal structure with no additional peaks. The XANES spectra exhibit triple pre-edge fingerprint of Ti4+ of oxidation state with six-fold octahedral coordinate structure. Co-, Ni- and Zn- K-edge results indicate that the Co, Ni and Zn ions in M-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> are in 2+ formal oxidation state. Meanwhile, Mn-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> sample contains the different oxidation states of 3+ and 4+. The amount of each oxidation state is confirmed by using linear combination fitting method. The magnetic measurement illustrates the paramagnetic behavior for Co-, Mn- and Ni- doped samples that strongly depend on the doping content and no hysteresis loop is observed in undoped and Zn-doped samples.

We employed a sonochemical method to fabricate transition metal ion doped perovskite ZnTiO<inf>3</inf> (M-ZnTiO<inf>3</inf>) nanoparticles, including individual Co and Mn ions. The Zn:Ti was mixed in molar ratio of 1:1 to obtain starting precursor for ZnTiO<inf>3</inf>. The different concentrations of Co (5-10 mol%) and Mn (3-7 mol%) were doped in ZnTiO<inf>3</inf>, then the mixing solution were irradiated in high frequency ultrasound of a sonometer (20 kHz, 750 W) at room temperature to obtain the as-prepared samples. The final products were calcined at 800°C for 3 h to improve the crystallinity. We confirmed formation structures of M-ZnTiO<inf>3</inf> nanoparticles by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and used X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique to investigate the crystal structure and valence states of the sample. Meanwhile, we studied their optical properties by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and evaluated magnetic properties of the samples at room temperature by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Magnetization measurements revealed the paramagnetic behavior for Co-ZnTiO<inf>3</inf> and weak ferromagnetic behavior for Mn-ZnTiO<inf>3</inf>. We also investigated and discussed the effect of metal ion doping concentration on the structural, optical and magnetic properties.

The sonochemical method was employed for synthesizing perovskite zinc titanate nanopowders. The yield powders were calcined at 600-900 °C for 2 h. High crystallinity phase of cubic ZnTiO<inf>3</inf> was obtained at calcination temperature of 600 °C while mixing phase of cubic and hexagonal was observed in the sample calcined at 700 °C. For the samples calcined at 800 and 900 °C, the hexagonal structure was dominant phase with a trace of rutile TiO<inf>2</inf> and spinel Zn<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>4</inf> phase. X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy technique (XANES) was used to probe crystal and local structure of the synthesized powders. The samples calcined at 700 °C exhibited the superior photocatalytic performance in decolorization of Rhodamine B dye under ultraviolet irradiation within 75 min. The dielectric permittivity and loss tangent of ZnTiO<inf>3</inf> calcined at 700 °C was found to be 20 and <10-2. Effect of calcination temperature on structural, morphology, optical, dielectric properties and photocatalytic activity were also investigated and discussed.
