Synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic activity of pure and N-, B-, or Ag- Doped TiO2

This article reports the synthesis and characterization of pure and N-, B-, and Ag-doped TiO2 and the ability of these oxides to photodegrade methylene blue (MB) under sunlight or UV-ABC radiation. The compounds were synthesized using the sol-gel method and characterized by scanning electron microsc...
