Abstract: Fe3+-doped titanium dioxide films coated on silica(Fe3+-TiO2/SiO2) were prepared by sol-gel method and characterized by means of SEM, Raman and DRS technologies. The activity of the prepared photocatalysts was investigated by the degradation reaction of Rhodamine B radiated with visible light(Xe lamp), and the results indicate that the presence of Fe3+ ion in photocatalyst accelerates the degradation reaction rate of Rhodamine B. Moreover, the effects of the pH value and initial concentration of Rhodamine B in solution on the photocatalytic reaction were discussed.

Key words: Fe3+-TiO2/SiO2 film, Photocatalytic degradation, Rhodamine B
