How does the broadening and shifting of the anatase (101) peak in the XRD pattern of iodine-doped TiO2 (IDT) compared to pristine TiO2 impact the photocatalytic efficiency, and what can this reveal about the interaction between iodine doping and the crystalline structure of TiO2
Veeresh Verma
The expansion of the XRD peak indicates a decrease in the particle size. Consequently, the specific surface area of the catalyst increases and the reaction rate increases. Iodine is a large molecule. Penetrating into the crystal lattice, it loosens it.
Thank you @yuri Mirgirod for the answer. Can you provide relevant references.
