ABSTRACT
Cu-doped TiO2 nanopowders
were prepared by sonochemical-assisted process via a precursor solution of
titanium isopropoxide, copper nitrate trihydrate and sodium hydroxide in the
presence of polyvinyl alcohol in combination with calcinations process. The
as-synthesized products were calcined at various temperatures ranging from
500-1000°C. The physical microstructures, morphologies and chemical bonding of
as-calcined nanopowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning
electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It was noted
that the crystallization, structure and size of the powders were strongly
dependent on calcinations temperature. Their optical absorption properties were
investigated and the results suggested that Cu dopant could significantly
improve the optical absorption properties of TiO2.

ABSTRAK
Serbuk nano Cu-terdop TiO2 telah
disediakan melalui proses sonokimia terbantu melalui penggunaan larutan
titanium isopropoksida, kuprum nitrat trihidrat dan natrium hidroksida dengan
kehadiran polivinil alkohol berserta gabungan proses pemanasan. Produk yang tersintesis dipanaskan pada suhu yang berbeza, antara
500-1000°C. Mikrostruktur, morfologi dan ikatan kimia serbuk nano yang
dipanaskan telah dicirikan menggunakan pembelauan sinar-X, mikroskop elektron
imbasan dan spektroskopi transformasi Fourier inframerah. Penghabluran, struktur dan saiz serbuk sangat bergantung kepada
suhu pemanasan. Sifat penyerapan optik telah diselidik
dan hasilnya menunjukkan bahawa Cu terdop dapat meningkatkan sifat penyerapan
optik TiO2 secara signifikan.
