TiO2 anatase doped with 0.5 at%Fe powders were prepared by sol-gel technique. Titanium (IV) butoxide and iron (III) acetylacetonate were used as starting precursors, n-butanol as solvent, acetylacetone is added as a chelating agent and acetic acid to decrease the kinetics of the hydrolysis and conde...
