Abstract: The transition metal ion-doped TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared with hydrothermal method, and the effects of doping different metal ions on the ability of TiO2 in photocatalyzing degradation of rhodamine B(RB) were studied. The results showed that the doping of Fe 3+ , Co2+ , Ni2+ and Cr3+ in TiO2 nanoparticles made the photocatalytic efficiency of the TiO2 particles reduce and the higher the initial content of Fe3+ , the lower the ability of TiO2 in photocatalyzing the degradation of RB. But the doping of Zn2+ and Cd 2+ , especially Zn2+ , made the photocatalytic efficiency of the TiO2 particles enhance, showing a great increase of the rate constant(k) and the initial reaction rate(rini).

Key words: TiO2 composite nanoparticles, Photocatalystic degradation, Rhodamine B
