Abstract: Sol−gel method was used to synthesize copper doped TiO2-SiO2 with varied dopant concentrations using tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) and copper acetlyacetonate (CuAcAc) as titania and copper sources. Structural information of Cu cation incorporation and its chemical state in the coatings are determined with Cu K-edge EXAFS and XANES analysis. The correlations between chemical state of the Cu dopant and the photocatalytic properties of the new active coatings are discussed.Keywords: dip-coating, titanium dioxide, metal doping, Cu K-edge XANES, photocatalytic activityPublished in RUNG: 07.07.2016; Views: 6864; Downloads: 0
